  1. Thanks Terry, really happy with the outcome.
  2. This is one of our wedding pictures that had been tucked away years ago and forgotten about and when I found it last week it was in pretty poor shape. I sent it to a photography studio in Hamilton that restores old and damaged pictures and I was really happy with the results. Original picture will be 54 years old in 2 months.
  3. Nobody ever said muskies were friendly critters LOL That's tooth punctures in all 4 fingers.
  4. Sorry Raycaster but that's not what I was implying, I was just suggesting on smaller side console boats that one person sitting behind the wheel will definitely cause it to lean that way. My Bro in Law had a similar size Legend and it leaned like yours from Day 1.
  5. I took this totally untouched sunrise pic from from Ashbridges Bay about 12 years ago and liked it so much I have it hanging in my home.
  6. We've stayed there a few times ourselves Dax, real nice place and great folks that own it too.
  7. A 16' Legend isn't a very big boat and if your in the boat by yourself your 200lbs will definitely throw the boat over to the right side. It could very well be wet foam but I'm guessing it may just be your own weight all on one side plus the added weight of the steering console that's causing the issue.
  8. Wow, your a very talented man, plus obviously strong like bull LOL Great job !!
  9. Thanks MItch, I'll contact then and see what they say
  10. Oh well, it was a thought, thanks anyways guys.
  11. I sent my picture to a photo studio in town and they say because most of the colour has washed out there's not enough definition left to do anything with the picture.
  12. Thanks Brian, we'll be celebrating our 54th wedding anniversary in 2 months.
  13. Well, look at the gorgeous lady who has her arm wrapped around me, who wouldn't smile ? 😀
  14. Terry's done some of mine too Norm and he does excellent work but I also need to get it enlarged quite a bit but still keep it as sharp as possible so I thought an actual photo studio may be the best bet. There's a place down in Peterboro I'm gonna contact and see what they say..
  15. I was going through some old pictures yesterday that I haven't seen in years and came across this one of my wife and I that was taken more 50 years ago. The images have faded badly, the color is mostly gone and there's wrinkles in the picture. It's a great picture and I would like to get it fixed up with the color restored, the images made visible again and even the wrinkles somehow photoshopped out. Also the photograph is only about 2" x 3" and it'd be nice if it could be enlarged to maybe 5 x 7 or even larger. Is this something that's possible for a good photography studio to be able to repair ?
  16. Because of so many jerks causing problems the Crown Land around Burleigh Falls has no been closed off to the public. Besides all the garbage left on the land and the vandalism to properties, there's even been reports of people crapping on the front lawn of homeowners. https://www.thepeterboroughexaminer.com/news/peterborough-region/2020/07/09/burleigh-falls-in-peterborough-county-closed-to-public-after-complaints.html#:~:text=Burleigh Falls in Peterborough County closed to public after complaints,-By Marissa Lentz&text=The Ministry of Natural Resources,the public until further notice.&text=Joe Ayotte said there were,enforcing the closure on Thursday. I'm fortunate to live only 2 miles from Burleigh Falls and the place is absolutely gorgeous and it's so hard to believe the way some people treat these beautiful spots and the more it continues the more spots will be closed off. How can anyone be such a jerk to intentionally destroy such a beautiful spot ?
  17. Probably only by a few feet LOL
  18. Back in my Navy days we were sailing from Halifax to Charlottetown and took a shortcut thru the Canso Causeway between Nova Scotia & Cape Breton and banged the ship right into the end of the jetty. No real damage but pretty embarrassing with all the tourists watching us.
  19. Or else a "Keep off my Deck" sign LOL
  20. Turds were full of red berries Brian, that's one of their staples.
  21. Sure they do, but they also poop on back decks just like they did on mine last night LOL Just a little guy but he was only 15' from the bedroom door. Bears are common around here and they're seen often but this was my closest visitor so far and hopefully he doesn't bring his whole clan around next time.
  22. The smile on the little guys face tells the whole story !! I never caught a bowfin, infact don't think I've ever even seen one but they sure look like they could give you a real tussle.
  23. What a great way to spend a day with your son and congrats to him on a couple very decent fish.
  24. I fished the Kawarthas since the 50's and and also a LOT of time on Quinte plus Lake St. Clair , the Ottawa and St. Lawrence Rivers but my favorite place of all is chasing muskies on the West Arm of Nippissing. I got out of fishing a couple years back and sold everything including my boat but a small group of us still go to Nip every year and rent a couple cabins and have as much fun as always.
