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.

We travel through Kinmount several times a year and always thought that was an old drive-in theater up there in the woods. Never really payed much attention to it but good to hear it's such a nice old place.

Thanks Roy, interesting that this is the only site I'm having issues with.

Canadian taxes alone will occupy any money a traveller may have Paul

4 times today when I tried to visit this site I got the message that it was unavailable. Same message we were receiving awhile back when this site was down. I've also noticed it sometimes takes awhile for the site to open for me while others are basically instantly. Just me or are others having issues too ??

Thanks Dan, that's exactly what I'm looking for and my order has been placed.

I was actually wandering around CTC yesterday and looked at some tow straps that I could maybe use if a friend or neighbor slid off a snowy country road and needed a pull out. They had a couple 20 footers with hooks but they were only good for about 3300 pounds. Another I saw was 30' and good for something like 6000 lb. but was looped on either end and I figure I'd need more hardware to attach them and ended up not getting anything.

Been there done that and it sure isn't pleasant, took surgery to fix my problem but I was feeling 100 times better the day after the surgery than I had for the whole previous year. Hope they get you fixed up as well Kelvin.

Yup, it'd be good times Kelvin, but if we ever decide to make it happen you'll have to meet me up on Nipissing as that's the only place I fish anymore.

I've been driving for 54 years and have been towed exactly one time when I blew the alternator on a car. Just curious what the heck your doing to be towed so often ??

Sounds like a good trade off to me Kelvin

Hey Kelvin, bring your G2G to the Kawarthas and then I'll be able to join you guys without having to drive thru Toronto

My 1st boat was a 6' wooden punt Shane, had a 3 HP Evinrude (I think) and my bro and I received it as a gift from our parents around 1958. Fun little boat.

Welcome home, sounds like a great trip you had. As for driving 30 ton trucks in freezing rain....not fun.

...I'll take it. 46F at 6:00 AM in December makes me smile

It'll be a good night for sure but my days of driving through the insane Toronto traffic are done. It would be bad enough fighting it once but then to turn around a few hours later and do it all over again is just too much to handle. I've only been back to that crazy place once since moving to the boonies 6 years ago and hopefully it's the last I'll see of it. I see about 4 cars a day now and that suits me just fine

We used to do alot of G2G's around here years ago but sadly they just seemed to stop so it's good to see you trying to organize something again Kelvin. If I was 100 miles closer I'd be there for sure.

Some great names there for sure guys hahaah
