  1. Good to hear from you and see you back Bernie, it's definitely been awhile.
  2. I'm on Clear Lake in the Kawarthas and even though the lake has been ice free for several days the ducks still reside in my ditch. Guess the prefer to eat my lawn rather than what's in the lake LOL
  3. Gotta be at least a decade since I was last in Bass Pro (Vaughn) but it seems to me they used to have a decent selection of seats in stock.
  4. Never ever had that happen to our pots with either NG or propane Cliff and am wondering if you weren't getting a proper mixture of air & gas and were somehow getting a "dirty" flame that was causing the problem.
  5. I'll also agree with Gerritt We had a natural gas stove in Toronto for 42 years and have been using propane here for the last 9 years and I would never go back to an electric stove. Instant heat, fast cool down and much easier to regulate when cooking. Of course this is just all stuff my wife tells me LOL
  6. Government now says we're keeping both plates on our vehicles

    Smelts

    40 odd years ago we were fishing the Whitby pier when my Dad tripped over something and fell in the lake. It was a cold night so he was wearing a heavy coat and darned near drowned before we were able to pull him out. He had dry clothes in the car but he'd lost his wallet when he fell and we couldn't find it in the dark water. Probably an hour later another fisherman scooped it up with his net and came looking for Dad and returned the wallet with everything still intact. I've always remembered the honesty of that guy.
  8. The colour of the plates used to change every year too, blue plate with white letters one year then white plate with blue letters the next. Always thought that was such a waste of money.
  9. A recently deceased friend of mine suffered from Lyme Disease for 40 years and the pain in his knees and ankles was almost unbearable some days. He sometimes took meds to kill the pain but that made him so sick he couldn't get out of bed. He said the joint pain wasn't as bad as what the meds did to him so most days he just put up with it. Joints were so bad he had to wear braces on both lower legs just to he could walk. Terrible disease !!

    Some great pictures there, thanks for putting them up.
  11. Call Northstar in Barrie, they specialize in marine insurance. I was with them for years and although I never made a claim they were excellent to deal with. https://www.google.ca/aclk?sa=l&ai=DChcSEwi8u6_L6sDhAhVUHH0KHWuwA3YYABAAGgJwdg&sig=AOD64_0VEtHwVuYIGhsPr0tY7KubXhlIJQ&q=&ved=2ahUKEwiK-KbL6sDhAhUK5oMKHcnmBSYQ0Qx6BAgOEAE&adurl=
  12. I always change mine about the beginning of April Shane but I'm OK as I don't have a schedule and if we get snow I just wait for a day....one of the perks of retirement LOL
  13. I've got one but with the crazy amount of snow we got last night there's probably not enough propane in the entire township to melt it all LOL
  14. Woke up this morning to 6" of snow, perhaps I should have listened to Mother Nature after all LOL
  15. That's a great video and even though we've got a ton of them in the yard all the time, specially now that it's mating season, I haven't got them eating outta my hand. Pretty cool birds though and I enjoy having them around.
  16. I said to heck with Mother Natures curve balls Bill and just finished switching the tires & wheels over LOL
  17. The turkeys didn't mind this mornings snow, they just took over the bird feeder.
  18. My plan all week was to take off the winter tires today and put the summer ones on but as I sit here looking out the window it's snowing so hard I can hardly see the end of the yard LOL
  19. Good to hear Bill & thanks
  20. If you're looking for a small table saw this is a good deal and I picked one up for myself today. $500 on sale for $300 and in my experience Dewalt is a quality product https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/dewalt-compact-jobsite-table-saw-with-site-pro-modular-guarding-system-10-in-0556909p.html#srp

    Joey

    She sure is Terry and the girls still wear the purple T-shirts in Joey's honour every year when we head north.
  22. Really sorry to hear about your cottage, that's lousy news. Hopefully the insurance company takes care of everything for you.
  23. Also surprised to see the new location after all the years in St. Kitts. Good luck with the show Dax, it's always a great day.
  24. Here's a bit more reading for those interested https://www.autonews.com/regulation-safety/f-150-ram-titan-top-iihs-passenger-side-crash-tests
