Well, no more loot found over the weekend, so I spose I'm gonna have to settle with what I've got. Thanks for all the laughs folks :lol:

With Christmas fast approaching, I think my wife will have ideas of what to do with the new found loot. Thanks boys, I'm glad everyone found a bit of humour in my senility

My grandfather who fought in the trenches of France in WW1 with the British Army, was wounded by shrapnel in one battle and was awarded the Military Medal for bravery in another battle. My Dad who spent 5 years in the Navy in WW2 keeping the convoys safe from the German U-boats while crossing the Atlantic. Dads brother who spent 5 years in the Army during WW2 My Moms brother who was a bomber pilot in WW2 and was killed when his plane went down along with his entire crew. Another uncle in the British Army in WW2 who was captured by the Japanese in Burma and for the next 2 years was starved, beaten with chains and gun butts and tortured on a regular basis. He weighed 220 lbs when captured and 100 pounds at wars end. Plus 1/2 a dozen other uncles who fought in the Canadian Army. Their all gone now, but I'm very proud of what the men of my family have done to help make Canada the free and safe country that it is. I'll be at the Memorial Service in Peterboro this morning saying thanks to all those that did their part.

I think I'll spend the weekend tearing the house apart. Who knows what else I've hidden around here ??

I was rummaging through one of my drawers last night looking for something and when I moved some stuff in the back I came across a wad of cash that turned out to be $70. I asked my wife if she put it there and she said no, so I guess I stuck it there for whatever reason and forgot all about it.....bonus I would never hide money on my wife and have no idea why it was there. Anyways, I go back to my original search in some other drawers and darned if I don't find another wad of loot I squirelled away at some point, this time it's $140 Getting older & forgetful isn't always a good thing, but if this keeps up I may be a rich man someday :lol:

Yup, lotsa room back there for the boat too Skipper, plus the vehicles out in front.

Build the bench as big as you can, and the more lights above it, the better.

A peg board on the wall by the bench is always handy to hold the smaller tools you use on a regular basis, rather than digging thru the toolbox all the time.

I've been very happy with my Toro that I purchased from a local dealer and as someone else mentioned, it was set up properly and delivered to the house free of charge.

My Dad joined the Navy in 1940 and spent the next 5 years fighting for our freedom. That's Dad on your right covered in coal dust after just coming out of the engine room. His buddy beside him burned to death later on when the boiler exploded. This was his ship.

I trolled for about 4 hours but never hooked up with anything then headed for home around 1:30 or so. Nice day for a boat ride though Water temps were 46-48 F and there's still LOTS of very green & healthy weeds.

Dave, please extend my best wishes to your Mom

I'll be on Pigeon in an hour and the conditions are looking excellent

That's really nice Mike, I've seen alot of his work before and he's definetely got some talent.

Happy B-Day Betty and all the best !!

I walk my little pooch in the woods everyday and he's always sniffing everything and every once in awhile he'll sniff something he doesn't like and run for home. Don't know if it's a bear or a fisher but he never hangs around to find out.

I've seen them in the woods out behind my place too and did a bit of reading on them. Sounds like they can be a pretty nasty critter and one article I read said their one of the few animals that'll kill a porcupine.

Just curious as to what problems you had with leaving your batteries on a cement floor Skipper ??

Speaking of Lowrance service, where are they located now ?? They used to be on Matheson in Missisauga but evidentely they've moved from that location.

Sheeesh, by 4:19 I was thinking of lunch

Sounds like a fun day boys !! Keep pluggin away Cliff and that 50"er will be yours one day I'm heading out on Tuesday, maybe to Pigeon.

Thanks for the tale Mike & congrats to Jade, she's having a great year with the muskies.

I went over a piece of wood about 7 years ago and a drywall screw went thru the sidewall. I took it to the dealer where I bought the truck and was told they could patch or plug the tread section of a tire but weren't allowed to do any repairs on a sidewall.

Couple years back I was looking to buy a new troll motor and checked both places. LeBarons was about $25 cheaper and when I asked BPS if they'd match it they told me "nope, we don't do price matching", so LeBarons got my business. I've heard from others since then that BPS does indeed do price matching, so perhaps they should let ALL their staff know, specially the guys who are talking to customers on the phone.
