I bought a pair of Bear Paw snowshoes there around 1960

Great story LOL

I'm just curious here, but are you somehow affiliated with Fish'n Canada as I don't recall you ever posting about anything else other than that show ?

A neighbor down the road told me they caught a goby off their dock on Clear Lake last week, but who knows ?

There was another Outdoor Store on the Danforth and although it was small they carried alot of stuff and I bought a set of golf clubs there many years ago. There was also a Collegiate Sports not too far away at Warden & St.Clair and I used to like wandering around there but I think the only thing I ever bought was a pair of Kodiak boots. Nice store but they didn't last too long at that location.

Just another thought for you but windows in the garage doors is a really nice option and you can get thermal windows if you want. I had my windows put at eye level and am very happy with the set-up.

But then I'd have to flog Lew''s Reels and that would make me one of the guys I'm complaining about LOL

^^^^^ Thanks for the laughs there bud, sounds like your ready for your own Fishing show LOL

Good to hear you enjoy them Bill, the never ending advertisements just aren't my thing.

I stopped watching TV fishing shows years ago mainly because most of them are nothing more than Infomercials and IMO the worst was always Fishful Thinking. I came in the den at 9:00 this morning and turned on the TV and sure enough it was Fishful Thinking. I wondered if anything had changed and sat down to watch it. Only took a couple minutes and he hooked into a Lake O salmon and by the time he had the fish in the boat he'd advertised ... I think ...7 different products. I turned it off and I spose it'll be another 5 years before I watch another fishing show.

When you see a Shimano for $4 just keep on walkin.

Couple hours west of Ottawa Brian

I've spent a huge amount of time in that area over my life and have never seen or even imagined it to be crowded like that....ever.

Is this the Golden Lake up near Killaloe on hwy 60 ?

I'm sure your pharmacy will deliver if you ask them, I'm 10 miles outside of town and can have everything delivered free of charge if I want it. I can also phone in an order then when I go to pick it up I call again from the parking lot and they'll bring it out to the truck for us.

When the pharmacies 1st started only giving 30 days supplies instead of 90 my guy told me we'd have to pay the dispensing fee every month for each refill but that only happened once and now we only pay 1 fee every 3 months like it always was before, even though we still only get 1 month at a time. Maybe it's just my pharmacy but maybe check with you guy and see what he says.

That describes Diane and I exactly Brian and we've often talked about how fortunate we feel to be in this position and feel really badly for so many folks who are concerned about what may be down the road for them.

I just came in from cutting grass for an hour and said to my wife that we seem to have jumped from a cold wet spring to mid-July in a few days LOL

When I lived in Toronto I bought 95% of all my musky gear at the Fishing Depot and always enjoyed yakking with Steve & his brother. After moving near Burleigh Falls 10 years ago I didn't need much more gear but a few years ago I wanted a new musky rod and Steve was too far away so I called Gagnons and got the price on what I wanted. On the way down I figured I'd stop in at Sail seeing as I'd never been there before and saw the same rod I wanted to buy for $150 MORE than Gagnons. I drove across the road to Gagnons, saved $150 and decided I'd never bother with fishing gear at Sail again.

Anyone in particular you had in mind Brian ? LOL

Those Princecrafts are nice boats Cosmos, I've had a couple friends with them and never an issue and all very happy with them.

They interviewed someone on the news yesterday who was some type of aviation expert and he said a bird strike is a possibility but after studying the footage he couldn't see any bird bits blowing out the back of the engine which is often evident, but he wouldn't rule that out.

The experts will let us know once they figure it out and they'll certainly want to know more than anyone.
