Morning everyone & thanks for the wishes. Sure hope everyone is having as good as day as I am, but I don't think anybody enjoys opening presents as much as Ole Marv And Bill & Geoff, it'd be great to hook up with you guys next year.

I'd like to wish a very Merry Christmas from my family to all of you and hopes for a wonderful holiday and a Happy New Year.

The good news is we're finally getting our 1st snowfall of the season and with the colder temps arriving, it may just hang around long enough to give us a white Christmas The bad news is the thieves that own the oil companies decided to raise the price of gas 11 cents a litre around here yesterday afternoon, just in time for everyone to start doing their Christmas travelling

That'll clean up just fine with some soap & water Harry

I installed my winter wheels & tires on the truck today so I'm all set for whatever the winter throws at us.

Haven't been up that way for awhle jedi, but with the colder temps coming they may be good....but don't take my word for it

Parts of Clear Lake in the Kawartha's is frozen all the way across, but other parts are still wide open. Gonna be awhile yet.

Makes $50 for a cab ride look pretty reasonable.

I've said it to you many times Kevin, I could fish the West Arm for a week and not catch anything, but still say I had a fantastic week of fishing !! One of my favorite places in the world !! Merry Christmas to you and yours Kev

That's gonna be a tough shift to get used to Gerritt with only a couple days off before switching, specially the 12 hour nights. With only 2 days between the change, your brain never really gets a chance to get into a rythm. But nonetheless, congrats on landing a good job.

If their winter tires you'll see a snowflake symbol on the side of the tire. http://tires.tirerack.com/thumb.php?f=http://www.tirerack.com/images/winter/photos/tech/severe_snowflake.gif&s=100

Doesn't matter what kind of gun your killed with, your still dead.

Looks like your all set if the snow ever arrives Skip !!

The army Major that shot a bunch of people on an American military base a year ago didn't seem to concerned about it.

This was a terrible tragedy and it's hard to even comprehend how anyone could do it, but I also think it's good to hear everyones different thoughts on it. I'm like Kemper though, as I'm sure most Canadians are too, and the thought of everyone walking around with loaded handguns is just something that's so foreign to us in this country. I read alot of the different American boards, as I'm sure many here do too, and I just can't get over their love affair with handguns. These guys are carrying them on their belt's, in the truck and some guys even carry them in the boat when they go fishing. Personally, I just don't get it. Some of the responses on the other boards are pretty scary too. Guys are suggesting shotguns be kept in every classroom, all teachers should be armed with handguns and one guy even said it should be mandatory for EVERY sane person in the US over 21 to carry a loaded handgun at all times. Can you just imagine a gunfight between teachers and whaco's in a school hallway full of children ?? Toronto is the biggest city in Canada with a population of 2.5 million people, yet only 50-60 murders are committed every year and their mostly gang bangers killing each other with illegal guns smuggled in from the States. I don't mean this as a slam against Americans, it's just that our 2 countries are similar in many ways, but VERY different in others. I MUCH prefer our system, but that's just me.

On the 3rd day of Ice Fishing, the temperature went up to 70, the ice & snow melted, the flowers bloomed and winter was over.......YAYYYY

I went through Bridgenorth a couple days back and the UltraMar was $1.12, but right across the road SHELL was selling for $1.17 yet there were still 4 cars filling up.....go figure

Yessiree Chris, your definetely a master of your craft. Very nice work indeed !!

Looks like a coating of ice on everything around here too Shaun, but the weather doods are calling for 6C today with rain and then warm again tomorrow. If this is the worst weather we see this winter, I'm happy with that

And another one last night in Vegas too Brian, and a couple days back some guy shot 2 more people in a mall cafeteria. It's becoming a common occurance south of the border lately.

Fella here in town has a bumper sticker on the back of his pickup that says ++++++++++"yes it's my pickup...and no, you can't borrow it"+++++++++ And speaking of GM pickups, my dad bought a new one in 1961 and payed $1800 Now we nearly pay that for tires :lol:

Yup

Just shows how much he likes GM's Greg, he's always had them and likes to always have new ones. And Drew, it doesn't sound like that old girl owes you too much.

Outstanding picture Twocota !! I was out on the back deck around 4:00 but I guess I was too late and didn't see any.

Yup, just bought another new F150 in October and it's an excellent truck and I'm very happy with it. I just found that link to the 2014 Chevy's and know there's lotsa guys on this board who like them so thought I'd put it up for them. My BnL buys a new 2500 GM pick-up every 2 years and swears by them.
