Congrats on the retirement, it's the best gig going.

Guess your gonna find out just how good those winter tires really are Steve, sounds like a bunch of white stuff heading our way tomorrow evening.

When your driving in snow with your new dedicated winter tires Steve you'll wonder why you didn't buy them years ago, and you and yours will be much safer now too. You'll get far better traction both going forward and stopping and when you go into a turn you'll hold the road the way your sposed to.

I'll agree with everyone else, no such thing as too much power with the troll motor and when the wind is howling you'll be happy you went "overkill"

My wife doesn't have a drivers license so she went to Service Ontario and got a Photo I.D. card and that is all the I.D. she's ever needed and she's never been questioned on it. Just another idea for you.

Just guessing here but the fact that it's expired may render it as unacceptible.

We've all seen the strange warning labels on things we buy and shake our heads wondering who would be foolish enough to do what they're telling us not to. Don't injest the paint, don't use the hair dryer in the shower, even my wheel barrow tire has a warning not to use at hiway speed. Today for Christmas my wife bought me a clock in the shape of a saw blade for the shop and I honestly can't believe the warning on the back of the box. Is anyone really dumb enough to try and use these blades on their circ or table saw ??

That stinks Dave, sure hope things work out for you and everybody else who's affected by this.

I got out of the Navy in '67 and had awhile to wait before getting on the Fire Dept. and my buddy got me on with a private company at the airport. We had our own private hangar and looked after Eastern, American, Caladonia and BOAC Only terminal out there in those days was the old round terminal 1 and Dixon Rd was a country lane compared to today. That tarmac is a cold unforgiving place when the winter storms are blowing across those wide open fields.

Heck of a lousy Christmas present from Mother Nature..

I've had my furnace turned off all afternoon and the house is still 75F just with the sun coming through the windows.

Any chance you trucks battery cables are corroded and not letting enough juice flow from the battery to engage the starter ?

Thanks bud and Merry Christmas to you & Betty.

Thats great that you've been friends with that group for so many years and still going strong Tomcats. Love reading those kind of stories !!

I used to always work Christmas or New Years alot, infact so often it just became another day but that's all behind me now and I sure don't miss working those times. Howzbout you guys, anyone stuck working the Holidays ??

The blend of red & white beard suits you Drew

Merry Christmas everyone and I hope you all have a safe and enjoyable time. Doesn't really seem like Christmas with the warm weather and no snow but what the heck, it's still a great time of the year. Have fun folks and hopefully Santa's good to everyone. We had our big annual Christmas party here at the house on the 12th and tomorrow we'll be staying home with company coming here but what's everybody else doing ??

I actually slept for 4 hours the other night MB

Sounds like a very interesting place Steve, but anytime I'm passing through there I'm pulling the boat so it'd be a bit tough to get in but it's nice to know there's places like that still around.

Yeah your right, it's more like mid summer around here than the beginning of winter LOL

I'd say I've got some buds on my trees too.

Your bang on davey, I tried to log on at 3:15 this morning and it just said OFC wasn't available.

She hasn't got time for that kind of foolishness John, I keep her too busy doing womens work in the kitchen and laundry room.

I don't drink, smoke or do drugs of any kind and my wife says I'm too darned old & foolish to chase loose women, but I honestly can't see any problem at all with some guy smoking a joint. I've known lots of guys over the years who enjoyed a puff now and then and never once did I see any of them cause problems because of it. So many folks seem to think it's perfectly fine and acceptable to have a beer or glass of hootch but somehow a joint is evil. Make it legal, tax it like booze or smokes and let folks enjoy it.
