So did Lew LOL

Thousands upon thousands of fans screaming, yelling & cheering on their favorite teams and everybody having a blast, don't think I'd be too upset about 4 ladies also having fun whether it was over the game or not. Life's waaaay too short to sweat the little stuff.

We've been in a bunch of fishing ports Brian but haven't really talked to any of the boat crews but most of the locals say the boats are doing well. I sometimes have issues with shellfish so stay away from it but Diane's had lobster a couple times and really enjoyed it. She had a 2 pounder at a wharf side restaurant beside the boats the other night and payed $49 but I have no idea if that's a good price but from the smile on her face I guess it was LOL Paul, I was thinking the exact same thing, that it could be difficult to harvest that corn and it'll be a shame if they can't being so close to the end of the season.

Morning guys, we're still touring the east coast and are currently in PEI but I certainly won't bore you with holiday pics LOL Did want to show a couple pics though of the damage done here by Hurricane Dorian. Only saw a couple buildings with damage but the number of trees snapped off is insane and I couldn't even guess how many thousands were destroyed. Same with corn fields where many of them are flattened and I don't even know if the farmers can harvest the cobs the way everything is laying down but I didn't take any pics of them. Here's a couple pictures I took along a single 1/2 mile stretch of one road we were on yesterday but as always with photographs they don't even come close to portraying the actual damage. And no, I'm not taking these while driving at 50K LOL

Bears are somewhat common where I live and I've seen them in my yard 4 times and have cleaned up scat 7 or 8 other times, infact early last summer I cleaned up a pile 20 feet from our bedroom door. I've got a great picture of one that was sleeping in my backyard early one morning but I'm on my laptop in Halifax and don't remember my password to get into Photobucket. I also had one tear the downspout off the side of my house and can only assume he was after a chipmunk that I've seen go in the downspout extension. I live on a country road and walk 4 miles every morning at sunrise and last year one popped out from behind a bush 40' in front of me but took off as soon as he realized I was there while making a loud "grunt" sound. A month ago I came across the biggest bear track I've ever seen in the same area and was able to put my entire hand with outstetched fingers inside it. 2 years ago we were up on the West Arm of Nipissing and I was walking down a dirt road and heard a snap just off to my right and 2 little cubs came out from behind a fallen tree stump and right then I figured I was in trouble and sure enough Mom was about 3 seconds behind them. She got between the cubs and looked straight at me, lowered her head and pointed her ears back. Not afraid to say that one made me a bit nervous but I slowly backed away and she took the kids and headed back into the bush. I always carry an airhorn now when walking up there.

He was VERY lucky Paul, Fundy has the highest tides in the world.

That toon may be somewhat bouncy in these 10' waves Brian hahaha

Small world eh Kelvin, we crossed back into Canada @ St. Steven yesterday

Your right NAW, this is a great area to visit, infact it's our 5th or 6th trip down here. As for the surfing, I think my surfing days are far behind me LOL

Morning boyz, me & the Mrs. are currently touring the East Coast and having a great time. Just spent 3 days in Bar Harbor Maine and are now in St. Andrews New Brunswick on the shore of Bay of Fundy waiting for what's left of Hurricane Dorian to hit later today. Sposed to get very windy with up to 4 inches of rain so it"ll be interesting for sure. Halifax isn't too far away as the crow flies an they're gonna get the brunt of it with winds around 70 - 80 mph and heavy rain. We'll be heading there on Monday so hopefully everybody will be OK

Yup, it's kinda looking like it may play out that way

We're heading to the Maritimes tomorrow so hopefully the storm stays down south.

Your sure livin the life my friend !!

This post has become unbelievable.

Sorry, but you'll probably find nobody on this board will post hotspots to anyone, specially someone with a 1st post and not even an introduction. Nothing personal against you, just the way things are.

We drove down to Jordan Station 2 weeks ago and coming off the south end of the Burlington Skyway there must have been 1000 Cormorants on the shore over by the steel mill. In my entire life I've never seen so many big birds gathered together.

I bought a new boat with a 90 Merc 4 stroke back in 1999 and drove that boat long & hard for 10 years and never had a single issue with it. 10 years later I sold it to a bud and he's been driving it long and hard since then and never had an issue with that Merc until 2 years ago when it went in the shop for it's 1st repair in 18 years. Nothing wrong with 18 trouble free years on a motor that's seen a LOT of use.

I sailed along the north shore of the island back in my Navy days and saw a couple iceburgs but that's a close as I got.

We're going thru the States then New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and PEI but not hitting The Rock although I for sure want to do that trip one day.

Just guessing here but I'd imagine he'd be charged by the police for the unsafe hook-up.

What if O'Leary had a few drinks with his friends and was doing the responsible thing and letting his wife drive the boat, or is that too hard to imagine ?

It started going that way 2 days ago John, unfortunately

Guess he forgot to hook his safety chains up after he forgot to secure the trailer to his car properly. Luckily it was just a small boat.

I took this picture of a loon that kept swimming under my boat quite a few years back on Pigeon Lake and your right, it's a great experience to watch that sort of thing. I figured maybe a school of fish was sitting in the shade of my boat and the loon was taking advantage of easy pickings LOL

I'm heading to the East Coast next Tuesday Shane, I'll try and get a count LOL
