They haven't been playing hockey ??

Yup, Black Perch if I remember correctly.

Very 1st time my parents ever met my future wifes parents (1964) they were going out for the evening to get to know each other. Future F-n-L was wearing a brand new moehair suit and when he showed up at my parents home, Tiny ran over to greet them, shook his head, and blew slime all over the FnL's new suit The relationship was off to a shaky start :lol:

Not quite the same thing, but many years ago when I was a teenager we had a St. Bernard and you'd go a very long ways in finding a more loveable, loyal dog. Huge dogs are plenty of work but the payback is also huge. Here's a pic of "Tiny" with my dad about 50 years ago.

Nobody said it was a wise choice, but some of us just don't like driving older vehicles...it's just all a personal choice.

Good to hear you've got it beat Rich !! It's amazing how easy it actually is, eh ??

And that's the reason I buy a new truck every 3-4 years Harry. When the warranty is gone, so is the truck

Ya, old guys that are DRY & WARM

And a full windshield & stand-up top

You've pretty much won the battle now Chris....well done & congrats to you !!

HAHAHA

So sad...

Here's the picture. Not sure if were allowed to take pictures from other websites, but if not, please feel free to delete this post mods.

Last I remember, Bill Craig from the Ottawa River area still holds the Live Release record

I had either a coyote or wolf on my front lawn a couple months back but honestly don't know which it was. It was big, about the size of a German Shepherd and thick through the body with longish dark grey/black hair. I've seen plenty of coyotes but never one this big before. It came wandering down the road early in the morning and up onto the front lawn and when I opened the door to yell at him he took off. I'm over near Burliegh Falls but don't know if we have wolves around here or not, but I'm thinking I may be too far south for them

The old homestead is lookin pretty festive there Roy, and I still remember the great supper we had at that dining room table many moons ago. You should also give the crew a close-up look of some of your art work, it's more than impressive !!

Lotsa bears around here and I've had them in both the back yard & front yard and it's fairly common for them to wander down the road, but so far nobody has had any physical encounters with one. A couple months back though, we drove into town about 4:00 in the afternoon and got home 90 minutes later to find that a bear had come up the driveway and tore the downspout off the side of the house and actually ripped it in half. I've seen chipmonks go into the trough, supposedly to get the water, and I'm guessing perhaps the bear saw him go in there and was trying to get him. Nobody was home when it happened, but it coulda been nasty if someone came walking around the corner of the house just as it was going on. Here's a couple pics I took.

BIG fish for sure, very nice !!

If I'm understanding your problem correctly, your toilet is sitting too high above the flange ?? If so, you can get another flat flance from the hardware store and simply screw it on top of the existing flange to raise the toilet up enough to fit the wax seal in. I installed a new ceramic floor in the bathroom recently and it left the toilet too high, but the additional flange worked perfectly.

Fantastic collection of fishing tales as usual MB, always look forward to them. Best part of your year though has to be the accomplishments of Bren, truely well done !!

Happy New Year to you & yours too Mike. See you on LSC in about 10 months

And a Happy New Years to you & yours too Shadowfly.

And there's still nearly 3 months of winter to go Mike

Same here Steve, been in a couple times and was always treated very well. Infact, we drove down to the Oshawa store yesterday so my wife could get a new pair of winter boots @ 30% off and the sales lady went out of her way to make it an enjoyable shopping trip. Great store in my opinion.

1st, I have no idea who you are. 2nd, you never entered my mind when I made my post...see 1st above. 3rd, my facts are very straight.
