Sux for sure Dan, my daughter is over 100 miles from us and 3 weeks ago she was in the hospital for a week, then home for a week, then back in hospital for another week. Weren't allowed to go see her and now that she's home we still can't see her. 

No idea when this will all end but hopefully...for all of us...it'll be sooner rather than later.

BTW, cute kids Dan and congrats on the addition of the new member.

Thanks for your valued insight though.

Nothing to do with valued insight, I just have no use for folks who think they're more important than others.

I see from your petition at the bottom of your page that you still think because your a fisherman your more important than pleasure boaters....so sad.

It’s odd that they wouldn’t stop the virus from flying in to Canada but they will stop you from going out of your house.  

Nobody is stopping you from going out of your house, they're just telling you to be sensible about it.

I used the 600LC and thought it was a great reel.

Actually, unless things have changed in the last few days, a lot of hospitals, in this part of the world anyway, Lindsay area, are not maxed out. I have a sister that works there and she says its really nice working there right now, people are staying at home and not running to emerg for sniffles and cut fingers, the sort on non emergency stuff people always swamp the place with. 

My daughter's been in Toronto Western Hospital  for a week now....not the virus....and she says it's unbelievably quiet in there and almost seems like there's nobody around other than medical staff.

She has since recovered and has had 2 negative tests and is returning to work tomorrow. 

Your wife is a very brave lady big guy and really good to hear she's recovered now.

Just my thoughts, but Canadians buy a HUGE amount of 3M products including the new Ontario license plates.

I have absolutely no idea how much money 3M makes from Canadians but I'd imagine it's pretty darned substantial and to now be cut off from something as important as these masks would just plain stink to put it mildly.

Barber shops would definitely be human-to-human contact under 2 m.

Ya your right, my bad,  my brain wasn't in gear when I wrote that.

Pet groomers make the definition of essential.  I kid you not, this is fact!  

Yet barber shops are closed.

Congratulations on the new granddaughter Dan.

Lousy luck Jon, hope there's no serious damage to your place.

Thanks for the updates MJIG

*****The Government of Ontario must allow boat launches to be open only to fishermen during the current global pandemic, COVID-19!*****

I can't believe you actually want the ramps open ONLY  to fishermen and nobody else.

 Don't you think EVERYBODY would like the opportunity to go for a cruise on the lake to get a break from what's happening these day ?

Seems to me you somehow think your better than the family that doesn't fish but enjoys a boat ride.

I saw Ford on the news last night and he was understandably mad.

He said they keep doing things to keep people safe and so many just ignore everything. They even taped off the playgrounds to  keep the kids away from each other and some morons go behind and rip the tape down and cut off the padlocks....and I doubt if the kids have bolt cutters.

He's said before that he'll keep doing whatever it takes and this was just inevitable.

....gas is the cheapest we've seen in years yet we can't go anywhere, I filled my truck a week ago and it's still showing full.

I also filled 3 jerry cans but they'll be covered in cobwebs before I can use them.  LOL

There's a few of us that head north every June on an annual trip and rent a couple cabins so we've still got nearly 3 months and we're all keeping our fingers crossed.

We need to protect our healthcare workers so they can be around to do their jobs as safely as possible. 

I saw a sign nailed to a tree today that said  "thank you nurses"

Thought it was a darned nice gesture

I use a BUNN coffee maker and am very happy with it and buy Maxwell House Original Blend.

Normally about $14 but frequently goes on sale at Foodland for $6 - $7 and when it does we pick up several cans.

I like Timmies but the only time I ever buy one is when were travelling a long distance a few times a year.

I drove by the local Timmies a couple days back and where there's normally a long line of cars in the drive thru there was one lone vehicle.

You weren't the only one, Lew is getting a bit raunchy, lol.

My raunchy days are far behind me  LOL

Always have plenty of gobblers in the yard and it's interesting to watch them looking for a friendly lady.

Gonna put them on hold for at least a year.
