Looked like they were very low when he ejected too Brian, sure hope it turns out good. Been a lousy month for the Canadian Military with the 6 killed off Greece in the helicopter crash and now this.

Just catching something on CBC and they don't even know the fate of the pilot yet.

I had to run into town late Friday afternoon and hwy. 28 was the busiest it's been in a couple months. Until now I've really been enjoying the solitude LOL
-
Thanks for the update MJIG, that's great news. I was by there yesterday and it was a very sad feeling looking at the place and thinking about how terrible it's been there the last couple months.

A few years ago I was working in the yard and stirred up a whole ground nest of bees and was stung at least 40 times. Only took a minute to swat as many as possible away and get into the house but by then I was on the floor and couldn't even get up. My wife called 911 and I was rushed into emerg and spent 5 hours there getting fixed up. Worst darned experience I've ever been through and can't even imagine what it'd be like getting swarmed by these new Giant Hornets.

If those cops actually complained about having to help the paramedics lift a body I'd be very surprised if a formal complaint wasn't submitted. Emergency crews always work as a team.
-
^^^^ so what's the big deal if they had to help lift a body, police, fire & paramedics work together all the time.

Good video Brian. It was funny cause when he opened the lid to the tackle storage 1st thing that I thought was he probably only uses a couple of them then he said basically the same thing LOL

Thanks Terry

Is that all ramps in the Kawarthas Terry, marinas and public ?

I came across this article in today's Peterboro news paper asking folks who have cottages in the Kawarthas to stay home. Thought it may be important to some folks. https://www.thepeterboroughexaminer.com/news-story/9965846-video-appeal-made-to-kawartha-cottagers-to-stay-home-during-covid-19-pandemic/

Lotsa worms on my front walk this morning.

We spent 3 weeks touring the east coast last September and planned on taking that ferry but found out it was closed long term for upgrading but I just checked and it looks like it'll be opening pretty soon now. https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/travel/the-cat-ferry-service-is-back/97-ff936dac-2f52-4439-85d9-15b55b3f5aa5

My folks always had a couple vehicles and the pick-up was used for camping / fishing trips. My Dad was very handy and built a camper on the back of the truck with log siding and with everything we needed inside. That was before campers became popular and there was often people come over to look at it. Sadly my Dad was buried 23 years ago yesterday.
-
My Dad bought a brand new 1961 Chevy pick-up for $1800. Now we pay that much for a new set of tires & a tank of gas ....well almost LOL
-
My folks had a movie camera back in the day too Brian with 100's of feet of movies going back to the mid-50's. Years ago they had them all put together on big spools then a few years back my daughter had them all put on CD's and gave them to me as a gift.

Thanks Bud, lotsa great memories in this old brain of mine.

Actually, I think it was a burp LOL

I was a lucky guy as I was born into a family that loved camping, fishing, hunting and anything to do with the outdoors, even my Mom was as much at home in a tent as she was in the house. I was born in November and the folks had me on my 1st camping trip the next June when I was only 7 months old. I don't remember starting to fish as it was something that basically happened as soon as I could hold a fishing pole and we always had a boat although not the one in this picture. This was taken about 1950 and I'm the little runt on your left with my brother and dad. Any of you guys remember the old flat bottomed wooden rowboats LOL
-
What did you do with your boat today.

Used to be like that with firemen back in the day too when it seemed most of us smoked. We'd come out of a hot dirty stinkin smokey fire and the 1st thing everyone did was light up a cigarette. Yeah, the good ole days LOL -

I worked with a guy who was big into staying in shape, worked out at the gym, was a weightlifter, rode many miles on a bike and only ate healthy food.....but as strange as it sounds, he was also a smoker. We were sitting in the firehall one day and I was eating a donut and he told me if I knew how unhealthy donuts were I'd never eat one again...and he was smoking a cigarette while he was telling me.🤣 I smoked for many years but quit cold turkey 30 years ago. -
^^^^^ I knew there was a reason I never had any interest in taking up river fishing LOL ^^^^^

Some may find this interesting

I agree Cliff, that was just plain bad.

A few of us rent cabins up on Nippissing every June and we've already called and cancelled abd re-booked for next year. I know it's not Crown Land camping but still an enjoyable week for us.
