Listen to your Dr's and Nurses, I call it doing your homework. And I know you will come out of this in better shape than when you went into it. It sounds like you have some great people on your team. It's a big hill to climb but you are young and strong. Just do it.

I used to pull into the camp when the boys were getting up to go hunting or fishing. I'm a night owl. Haven't set an alarm since 2007.

" Have you seen 3 Pit Bulls? Where are they? Usually gets them off the property. Answering the door buck naked works, sometimes.

The fish are gorging them selves so I think it would. It has been so thick here on Erie Doppler Radar out of Cleveland actually picked up the swarm the size of PEI. I can't post links here for some reason.

That absolutely sucks. We had a camp outside Westmeath on the Ottawa. It is full of mine fields. Lew's bang on, deadheads pop up when least expected, everywhere. Lucky you didn't fly through there with the big motor. I would check the lower end gear lube for any metallic's to be sure.

That's all Big Cliff? Bell TV. Good because for some reason I thought you were going to say you had a dog named Bell and had to out him or her down. I would love to put Bell TV down but when I called to cancel and them and go with Shaw they matched Shaws promotion and gave me the same 10 bucks a month off for customer loyalty. Friends went with Shaw in the winter and once their sign up promo was over it's almost the same as Bells price less the package reduction because they had Bell landline. I think we are the only people I know that still have a land line. I'll join the 21st century some day. Looked at my cell phone bill last week, total usage was 21 minutes and zero texts, if I knew how to text I might try it. I actually know how just won't. And I have something I carry around that is called a camera, "What a Dinosaur you are Uncle Johnny" is what the kids are always saying.

Yea I was once young and stupid and now my wife says, sometimes, I'm old and stupid. Condolences to the family regardless. What a waste.

Sweet catch, nice little spot by the way Bri. I find 5 O'clock a little early for an evening topwater outing. 5AM!!! You nuts? After having to relieve all the farmers on the Docks at 05:00 when I was a young shift foreman I swore I would never get up at 3:30 again unless I absolutely had to catch a flight to the tropics or something. Every time we head out at dawn to fish I catch my first one at 09:00.

Aw heck I can't paste the link. A 22 year old Calais Maine man died while celebrating 4th of July in this Maine New Brunswick border town when he attempted to launch a rocket from the top of his head. Stupid but it's still sad to hear a kid has his life cut short. Thinking about it I must have been in the running for the Darwin Award many times in my youth. Like spewing lighter fluid from our mouths during school assemblies. Skiing down the Hamilton escarpment on un groomed snow that had vines growing below. Roman candle battles, indoors. Yea we all probably could have been nominated once or twice.

Yes Moose, a 30"er here is 10 pounds easy. Planner boards will outfish riggers any day here. Where does it end? Now I'm told without a temp and speed at the ball sensor you can't catch a fish? Come on. For you northern guys a 5 pound Pic here is considered a small eater.

Man not good. I have bad habits too and am playing Russian Roulette with my life. No where near as bad as I was 17 years ago when I was told I have Type 2 Diabetes and have improved 90% as far as lifestyle but 10% bad can kill you I'm told. I know we are what we eat and drink. I do the best I can but am weak sometimes. Easy to say "change your lifestyle", much harder to do. Try is all I can say. Get better, many fish out there with your name on them. I had a close Uncle that wouldn't listen. I told him it was up to him if he wanted to see his Grand kids get married. He died watching Monday Night Football with a bowl of Buffalo Wing bones and a MT bottle on the table in front of him. He made his choice.

What in the Lords name is a white bass? A silver? A dime a dozen throw backs that tangle your leadcore and Dipsy's into a 40 dollar mess? You finally have a real life fishin boat. Good on ya Albert. Next you will be telling us you are catching sports fish. Keep it up. PM me and I will tell you where we are hammering the Walleye. Don't forget you owe me a ride for 3 or 4 years now. I just didn't think a 18 foot Bass boat was too safe in the Niagara River because you did ask. They are limiting out in Bruce now on the perch. Always a go to place.

By the way no Ti Cat games, there are some kind of mini Olympics going on. Toronto is hosting Commonwealth Games Soccer in Hamertown. I guess that's OK as we have a drag strip near me that is called Toronto International Speedway that is about 3 hours from Toronto. I remember a lady from Ohio asking me if they could get a cab to downtown to do some shopping and asking how much it would be and how long a drive. About $300.00 and 3 hours with no traffic. It could be 6 hours with traffic. She thought I was kidding so she asked someone else.

There will no getting to touchy other than a few hi fives. I can promise you that Mr. Hipphopster.

It could be as simple as a bad seal on the outdrive. It could be about anything in between. Clean it up, remove, seal and bolt back together and go through the diagnostics as our American cousin who also happens to be a marine Guru as well suggests.

Great report M2B2. Some great pics, the selfies not so sure about. Remind me to send you a couple of razors. You poor wife has to look at you in the morning. Unfortunately you don't have the DNA to grow a beard like my hot head Latin DNA. But there is absolutely nothing wrong with those Bass. How did you get away without a line of little M2B2 clones following behind you?

I've been in bigger golf carts. That would be fun to drive on the 401. I wonder if it will do 55KPH? M2B2, I'm feeling better. Nice story post was when I wasn't, you understand. AOD.

Congrats on a great week. On Nip I have found if you find 1 walleye you have found more. Use your electronics and stay on them for more. Next time because I bet there will be a next time.

Nice story.

Ok start sending the money to me.

Yes John, probably right, ouch.

believe you have to post a minimum # of times to fully access classifieds. And by the way, welcome. You will enjoy this most helpful and wonderful site.

I don't follow the game anylonger. I wouldn't know Kessel if he knocked on my front door. I saw him on TSN this morning. Man he is the antithesis of a what a professional athlete should look like. They say that TV puts 10 pounds on you. How about 30.

huzzsaba , if your wife camps with you she will be fine in a nice dry warm cottage for sure. Rick lives on a resort on the mainland at Rainy River

The water is clear today even with the run off the mudline at Dover was not that far out at the mouth of the Lynn. We didn't have any breakers for a while so the shoreline is clear water where we are, it should be the same at Crystal Beach. The wind is picking up right now but nothing to worry about for tomorrow. Check all of your weather sites first. Windfinder.com is the most accurate predictions I have found.
