Incredible restoration Bernie, really nice !! My uncle bought a new 35 HP Seahorse in the same colour scheme but I don't recall the year but I'm thinking early 60's ??

From different chats you and I have had Pete, I can't see you ever being intimidated by anything and you should be pretty darned proud of yourself !! To be chosen over so many guys for this position says an awful lot for both your knowledge and your character. Congrats my friend !!!!

Was in Home Depot yesterday and all the snowblowers & shovels are gone and are replaced with riding mowers & rakes. But we've gotta get thru the nastiness the weather dood is still calling for later to-day

Good looking truck Doug, I've got a 2010 with the XTR package.....EXCELLENT vehicles !!

Spotted this little gem popping up in my front garden today, so maybe it's a sign that winter is finally on the way out. Course, there's still the 6" of snow that the weather dood is calling for late tomorrow afternoon.

I dunno Wayne, I was going down a backroad on Friday and there were about 15 of them in the middle of the road who just stood looking at me and actually forced me stop and wait while they took their sweet time moving. Smart like a brick

A truer statement was never spoke. I'd say you handled the situation perfectly Cliff and probably taught that boy and excellent lesson in life

You know your welcome anytime Roy and don't forget to bring your fish'n pole And you received your invite a long time ago John, you just need to get yourself & your better half up here

That picture right there tells the whole story Brian, your a lucky man my friend !!

Thanks boyz, it actually looks even better in person when the sheen is more visible than in the picture.

I opened up the staircase leading down to the family room. Then I wanted to cap it off with a nice piece of wood so I went to the local lumber store and picked out a really interesting length of hard maple. I could see a nice grain in it but when I stained it and added a couple coats of urathane the grain popped right out really became beautiful and adds alot to the staircase. Or am I the only one who finds this kinda stuff interesting ??

The way the rain is coming down and the melting snow is coming up, I may just head out to the shop and build an arc

The thing is Mike, everybody has an opinion on things and that's something we're all entitled to. A post comes up and folks say what's on their mind. Some guys agree with them and others disagree but that doesn't make one right and it doesn't make the other guy wrong either, it's just the way it is and is what keeps things interesting. If you don't like what some folks think, it's no reason to lock a thread. And just so you know, just because a so-called "pro" says something, doesn't necessarily mean it's right or wrong either.

I don't get fired up Mike, I just say it like it is.

I had a buck in the backyard about a week ago that was still carrying a large rack.

It was brutal on Nippissing last summer, lets keep our fingers crossed for this year.

Far too many details Bruce

Very nice work there Bruce, you've developed quite a talent for bait making !!

Excellent new Kelvin, really happy to hear that !!

Seems to be a bunch of folks on this board who decide that if THEY don't like a topic, it should be locked up, or deleted or otherwise made so others can't express an opinion on the topic. Too many times lately somebody will actually post in a thread that THEY think it should be locked or deleted. For those of you that don't seem to know, and there appears to be quite a few, we have a very good team of moderators around here that do an excellent job of keeping this place running smoothly. If a topic gets outta hand, they'll decide when to lock it up or whatever else they deem necessary. Just because YOU don't like what's being said in a post, doesn't mean I don't like it and I may just like to express my 2 cents worth. If YOU don't like a post, STOP READING IT. Contact your local mod and let him decide. Course, that's just my opinion and some of you may want it locked up

Absolutely wonderful news Ryan and congratulations to your entire family on the arrival of your gorgeous new daughter.

Happy Belated to you my friend, hope it was a goodun !!

Nope, never saw it again Joe, it was a nice Curado & Shimano V-rod sacrificed to the fish gods.

Funny you say that Joe.... I was daydreaming one day and dropped an expensive combo in 20' of water, so I clipped a Daredevil on another rod and started dragging it thru the weeds. Felt some weight and figured I'd got my gear back but when I reeled it in I'd caught a 5 pound pickeral. Probably the only pickeral ever caught on bottom with a big azz Daredevil

The Golden Griddle was closed 2 years ago when we showed up Bruce, but we found a nice restaurant just across the QEW, but darned if I can remember the name of the place. That's where I was when you called me on my cell. I'll let you know for sure if I'm going this year but I'm pretty sure I will be.
