Outstanding pictures !! Good time to leave the tinny in the garage though.

I could sit in a lot of traffic jams for $1500, that's absolutely insane and just another reason I'll never drive on that road.

Looks like it may be a very interesting book, thanks for the heads-up

Exactly Joe, or at least a set-up for hands free phones.

Wasn't blaming you at all Dave...obviously...just saying it's not right to make it illegal for some folks but not for others. Same as I disagree with having to move over a lane on the highway or slow down when approaching an emergency vehicle stopped on the side of the road, but when poor old Joe Schmuck is trying to change a flat tire cars can legally blow right past him. Anyways, just my thoughts for a Friday morning. LOL

I totally disagree with that too Dave, guys driving emergency vehicles can be even more distracted than most drivers just because of the nature of driving to an emergency. Add in the guy yakking on a mike or phone or whatever and things get very dangerous.

Never been on the 407 and never will. No way I'm gonna pay to drive on a road I already payed to build.

My neighbor had 3 sumps that ran 24/7 every day of the year. He got tired of it too and sold the house and moved into the city a couple months back. Most on this road are on a high water table but at least for me my sump only runs for about a month in the spring when the snow is melting.

Thanks wormdunker and best of luck to your niece, I hope everything works out well for her.

Ah yes, the good ole days LOL

When I was stationed in Halifax in the mid 60's the Stadacona Naval Base had a pub and Friday night was nickle night. You could go in with a dollar and party all evening

Lovin this El Nino, I just got back in from a 3 mile hike wearing shorts & a light sweater and I've got flowers still growing in the garden beside the Christmas decorations. Santa better take the runners off his sleigh and put the wheels on

My brother commuted from Durham into downtown Toronto every day for about 25 years. He theory was you'll never beat the traffic jams and if you let it worry you or continually look for shortcuts you'll go bonkers. His way was just close the car windows and put your favorite music on the radio and go with the flow. Said he always reached his destination relaxed and in a good mood. Always made sense to me but then again I could walk to work in 20 minutes LOL

There ya go.

Maybe we'll have to share it

Great find for sure Joey My dad grew up in Saskatchewan through the '30's and spent all summer, every summer, working on his uncles farm. They had a couple cows and they wore identical bells as yours. Many many years later Dad went back to Saskatchewan to visit his now retired uncle and was given one of the bells as a gift. That bell hung in Dad's den for years and after his death I asked Mom if I could have it but it had disappeared and nobody knew where it was. I'd love to have it today to hang in my own den.

What a sweet little pup Joe and congrats on the new addition to your family.

Wonderful news and fingers crossed it continues to be good. Seems we both already got what we wished for.

Congrats on the new job Cliff, hope it's everything you want.

Thanks Chris, I've been smiling all afternoon.

Your right Wayne, material things don't always count for much.

It's been 13 months since my wife had surgery to get rid of a cancer and then that was followed by 3 months of chemo. She now goes every 3 months for cat-scans & x-rays and then a meeting with her surgeon. We did that today and once again the doc says she's all clear and healthy as a horse. That's all the Christmas present I want.

My rods & reels live right in my boat year round.
