Pretty ingenious, specially considering when it was designed & built.

It sometimes feels that way LOL

The only line I ever use is 80 & 100 pound Power Pro and the palomar does everything I need & I've never had reason to try any other knot.

Your right Mike, nothing more fun than having a big fish hammer a bait right beside the transom. Course it also leads to a few moments of pandemonium LOL

The rod in the water catches any floating weeds and stops them from going down the line and fouling the baits. Also gets the short line lures a little bit deeper.

If you post the area you'd like to be in it would help guys with suggestions.

Thanks for that Roy, great video and even better fish and made for a nice break from moving snow. Hafta admit though, I could only handle the music for about 12 seconds before the mute button came into play

I called my propane company in Peterboro earlier this week Cliff to see if they had any shortages or problems getting propane and was told that no, there aren't any problems and no shortages are foreseen.....for now anyways. They get it from Sarnia and have it trucked up here. I mentioned earlier in this thread that my tank was topped up yesterday at $1.05/litre so if your getting it for $0.95 you're getting a good deal, but maybe it's better to pay the premium and be assured of delivery. As for my thermostat setting, I keep it at 74F as that's a temperature I like and find comfortable and even in the hot summer days I set the AC at 74 also. When I'm outside in the summer months I find low to mid 70's most comfortable so I keep the house the same. No way I want to sit in the house all winter wearing a sweater and long pants with the thermostat set in the low 60's to save a few $$$$ I have an airtight downstairs in the family room and run that alot thru the winter and when it's burning it sends enough warm air up the stairs that it exceeds the thermostat setting and shuts the furnace down. It's nice sitting in the house on a cold day with the furnace off and the temperature around 75F.

You've got a great memory Brian

Had my tank topped up today Shawn and the price was $1.05

Yup, it sure is nice Roy, and just an hour ago I got to watch a big ole gobbler sharing the bird feeder with the bluejays & chickadee's

WAAYYYY back in the day I loved blood pudding and would have it all the time, boiled in the skin and then covered in mustard. I'd cook up a ring and eat the whole thing for a snack. Then I got away from it and never had it again for about 20 years, then saw it in the store one day and decided to have it again. Cooked it just the way I always had it and it was the foulest thing I'd ever eaten. Don't know if the recipe had changed or if it was my taste buds but I'm done with it for good after that.

Mom & the 2 kids spend alot of time in my yard soaking up the sun. And this big guy is always here too & could be Dad....who knows

When we 1st got married 47+ years ago we lived on the 4th floor of a Scarboro apartment building with NO elevators. Not long after moving in an encyclopedia salesman somehow got my phone number and started calling me about buying some of his books. He called every night even though I told him I wasn't interested. After a week or so I was totally fed up with this guy and told him I'd changed my mind and now wanted to buy a set of his books and would he come over and bring everything he had including bookcases. Never told him it was 4 floors with no elevator.... He arrived and started hauling six full sets of encyclopedias up the stairs plus a couple book stands and after he finished and was trying to catch his breath, I told him I had changed my mind again and no longer wanted them. He hauled all his stuff back down the 4 flights of stairs, loaded everything in his car and left in a huff and never bothered me again. Nasty on my part perhaps, but he wouldn't take NO for an answer.

Musta been VERY cold Bernie

Already looking forward to that tale Mike !!

You picked a good time to head south Cliff, their calling for highs of around -18 by mid week and lows of -25 Drive safe and you & Sue have a great trip.

Congrats on both the pooch and the new ride, good lookin pair.

Very impressive work there Art, nicely done !!

Before you turn 18 you don't need a license and once you reach 65 you don't need a license, just proof of your age.

Yeah, didn't we all Bill and I don't think this kid did any worse than most 14 year old boys did...including me. If kids aren't living dangerously, they aren't having any fun.

Saw that on the news last night, musta been terrifying for a young kid.

Excellent pics of that owl, looks like your sitting right beside her. Been quite a few great owl pictures posted here lately and their always great to see.

Summers better than winter Bernie, for just about every reason

Beautiful work as always Chris, your definitely a master of your trade.
