Really sad that we have to share this world with the type of scum that would intentionally ruin someone's property for no reason.

For years my brother always had a 14' tinny & then 20 odd years ago I bought a Crestliner with a side console. He used to fish with me all the time and one cold rainy day down at Quinte we were running down the lake and I was warm & dry behind the windshield while he looked like a drowned duck. He looked over at me and asked "why the heck didn't you buy a boat with a windshield for me too and I said "because you didn't offer to pay for 1/2 the new boat" He didn't laff but I thought it was hilarious LOL 😁

Pretty scary when you know someone is looking at your place and thinking of actually stealing wood. I needed 107 pieces, mostly 12' long and they were $22 each so I spose that's pretty enticing to some people although a big pile of wood isn't exactly easy to run off with.

Glen, I hear you on having guests over, it's been far too long for sure. Norm, great deal on having the cost of the ramp covered and it looks great too. LostAnotherOne, the price of lumber has gone thru the roof but sometimes we just have to bite the proverbial bullet and get on with it LOL

We've got a deck that runs the full 50' across the back of the house and although the frame is still in excellent condition the floor was showing it's age so I decided it was time to spruce it up. I pulled all the old boards off and replaced them all with new pressure treated and it turned out really nice. I'll leave it alone for the summer then seal it all. The brown pressure treated boards look much nicer then the green ones we used to get. Biggest job now is cutting up all the old boards & hauling them to the dump.

Awesome job Shane, your good for another 28 years !!

Even on large musky baits a screwdriver was all I ever used.

Seeing as this post is 14 years old the OP probably doesn't require the info anymore LOL

I think Ford said yesterday there wouldn't be any further changed to the current restrictions and everything stays as is for now.

Yes I do have a torque wrench Dan and use it all the time but thanks for the suggestion anyways..

I live on a dirt road but that's as much "off roading" as I ever do but I certainly hear where your coming from & thanks for your concern..

Thanks for the photoshop WB, that's exactly what I was looking for, it's just to give me an idea, which it does. And Brian, it's a FORD so it doesn't need nitros to make it a rocket LOL

Thanks for that link Bud and yes, I can definitely get them in my size.

Would someone be able to photoshop this wheel onto my truck please ? I have no clue LOL

Sounds like we're both having a good day Steve

I won't go into any details but a company I've been involved with decided to merge with another company and there would be some surplus funds that would be split evenly with some of us. It was estimated we'd receive about $2600 each so it was rather nice this morning to receive word that rather than $2600 it was gonna be nearly $37,000. As mentioned above, it's a nice way to start my day 🙂

Just curious, but rather than waiting 5 days for your package, why not just drive to the post office and pick it up ?

Bass are the easiest fish in the world to catch, why would anyone need such an expensive lure to go after them ? 😁

Thanks Art, all is right with the world once again 👍

Just my opinion Art, but I don't like it, to me it just adds unneeded clutter.

Funny how one day we think something is so highly technical then a couple years later we wonder what the heck were we thinking. I'm sure 20 years from now we'll be thinking the same thing about today's smart tv's.

I met my wife waaaay back in '64 and shortly after meeting her she invited me over to her place to meet her parents and darned if they didn't have a colour TV. First one I'd ever seen and I was amazed at how good it looked. Don't remember for sure all these years later but I'd guess the colour was pretty crappy compared to what we have today, but back then it really something LOL

Who else remembers the days when you'd pull the tubes out of the back of the TV when it stopped working and take them down to the tube tester machine at the drugstore. Plug the tubes into the machine and it would indicate it when it found the bad one. I remember vividly back in the 50's when it was just a normal thing to do that and I'd always accompany Dad when we went to the drugstore to test them. Yup, the good ole days weren't always so good LOL 😁

And it didn't cost a couple grand that you'd pay for a bigger TV either LOL

My kids were born in '67 & '72 and thankfully there was nothing even close happening back then like what's going on in schools today. We were also fortunate that I earned enough money that my wife didn't have to work and could stay home with the kids when they were small and we almost never needed a babysitter. I really feel sorry for parents today who need both incomes but with the on-line learning someone has to stay home and give up that 2nd income. It must be terribly hard on so many families moneywise and so many have probably even lost their homes because of it. Not really going anywhere with this other than just sorta thinking out loud but my wife and I haven't really been affected by this virus other than some travel plans have been interrupted but I just feel so bad for the 1000's that have been hit so hard by it all.
