  1. Sounds like everything is going great for you Geoff, the new soon to be wife, a new home, new job and the new truck....it's not a FORD but still pretty nice LOL Life is wonderful when everything goes right so congrats to you !!
  2. I'm always up very early so I drove into town this morning at 4:00 and got the weeks groceries bought in 20 minutes and was home again just after 5:00. Had the entire store to myself and missed the insanity that will probably start at sun-up LOL
  3. We shop in Foodland in Lakefield, it's a small store but very nice and never busy at all. Today we got an email from them saying yesterday was the busiest day they've EVER had. It's open 24/7 and we need some stuff so I'll be heading down there very early tomorrow morning before most folks are even awake and hopefully they'll still have some stock left. I'm like you Brian and never thought I'd see this type of thing.
  4. We had lunch in a local restaurant and hour ago that's normally packed this time of day and when we arrived at 11:00 there was only one other customer in the place. Waitress said it's been like this for a week now.
  5. You probably wouldn't want to see me when I'm UN-happy LOL
  6. I spose you could use other terms then "retire" but once I lost interest in fishing I quit doing it and sold everything.
  7. Welcome malcolm, you'll enjoy yourself here, it's a good group of guys.
  8. Yup, I hear you, I'm about done myself.
  9. I've got a feeling your gonna visit your Pop again very soon LOL
  10. You did today what I do every day Brian and really glad to hear how much you enjoyed it.
  11. Beautiful bird and great picture & like you I've never seen one in the wild either.
  12. And a stand to hold your camera too
  13. You could be right Brian, guess I'll never know for sure.
  14. Thanks bud, that shows the injury quite clearly
  15. The white deer and her fawn are in my yard several times a day now but today I saw a huge wound on the fawns side. Don't know if a coyote grabbed her or what but it's really nasty. It's wide open and at least as big as a man's hand but it's not bleeding and she walks just fine and doesn't seem to be in any pain or distress and is eating well. Kinda hard to see in these pictures but it's on her left side directly in front of her back leg. I tried to enlarge it but don't know how to keep the bigger picture.
  16. Only been 3 years for me so the desire hasn't come back yet....but ya never know LOL
  17. Don't think I'd go quite as far as tragic, I just lost interest LOL
  18. That brings back a flood of memories John, every May 24 long weekend for most of my life Quinte was our annual springtime family fishing trip around Hay Bay. My dad, myself & my brother along with uncles, cousins, grandfather and friends. Kept it up for years but one by one they all started dying off until it was just my brother and I left and then he passed in 2007 and now I'm the only one left and that was it for the fishing trip....done. Still got a lifetime of great memories left though
  19. Flannigans is a great shop and we often stop in there to stock up on meat pies LOL
  20. Your a good man Dan, that's an outstanding offer.
  21. I bought a new boat back in 1999 and payed the bill in full including all taxes. Months later I got a letter from the government wanting a copy of the bill of sale to prove I paid the taxes so I figured no problem and sent them a copy. About a year later I got another letter for the same thing so once more I sent a copy of the bill of sale but now I'm thinking I'm dealing with morons. After probably another year I get a 3rd. letter from these clowns asking once again for a copy of my bill of sale which I just totally ignored and I never heard from them again. Sad that some of these people actually get paid with our $$$$
  22. But they sure are nice to drive !!
  23. This is just an FYI for any of you boys who may buy fishing stuff from this place. They had a pretty bad fire there last week and it seems like the place is pretty well gutted. The owner hopes to re-build and open again someday but who knows when that may be. It's only a couple miles from my house and I drove by during the fire and and even though I was a fireman for many years it's still sad to see someones dreams going up in smoke. Anyways, if anyone uses this place you'll need to find somewhere else to pick up your supplies next summer.
  24. It's hard to keep track of those Gobblers some days, there's so many of the silly things LOL
