I know what your saying Joe, I was just commenting on how insane salaries are becoming for athletes compared to the salaries of folks who actually make a difference in this world....like the surgeon that saved my wife's life. The imbalance is just ridiculous.

I don't watch many sports and actually find baseball about as exciting as watching grass grow, but when I read about a guy getting an absolutely stupid salary like 31 million a year for throwing a ball around I just have to shake my head and wonder where the priorities are in this world. A year ago a cancer surgeon used his skills & saved my wife's life and although I have no idea how much a surgeon like him earns, he probably makes less in a year than this pitcher makes in a week to throw a ball. I know it's apples and oranges but it sure doesn't make any sense to me, but of course that's only my opinion.

No, it was decomissioned many moons ago and the Artificial Reef Society in BC has been fighting in court for years to get permission to sink her. It's been 50 years since I served on Annapolis and I'm sure my name was forgotten a long time ago. I don't know if any former crew members were offered anything but I sure wasn't.

I've seen the Columbia sinking before but would have like to see it again. My brother served aboard Columbia back in '65, the same time I was aboard Annapolis. They've sunk a few of them now as well as an old airliner. This is a shot of Annapolis just as she was going down beneath the waves earlier this year. And this is a shot of her back in her better days when I served aboard her.

I bought Merrell sandals similar to the ones pictured a few years back and the stitching started coming loose the same day. I returned them for another pair and those ones lasted 2 weeks and again the stitching was coming loose. I returned them and got my money back and swore I'd never buy anything made by Merrell again. They used to be a great name but not so much anymore.

Looks like I found this post too late. Was it the sinking of my old ship Annapolis ??

You guys are having a good week Mike.

We used to just call them cold days

I must be getting old, I never heard of him till something about his death was on the news this morning.

Some of the posts on this site are just pathetic anymore.

That really is a good show, I saw them in Toronto a few years back.

Fantastic fish Mike, congrats to your dad !!

All I know is I'm sure glad I'm not one of the people that voted for these clowns. Absolutely unbelievable what they're doing to this province and getting away with it. And it seems every day something else rears it's ugly head.

You made a good choice with the F150 Gallie and you should be very happy with it. As for the EcoBoost, I've got a 2013 Lariat with Eco and absolutely love it and my next truck will have one too. Really nice low end torque and that's why I bought it. If your buying a truck to pull heavy boats and your worried about gas mileage, your making a mistake. If your not too concerned about mileage, buy a truck and enjoy.

LOL

Wuss !!

I don't know if it's kosher to link to other websites and if not I'll gladly delete this post but this just a truly amazing fish. http://muskie.outdoorsfirst.com/board/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=106545&posts=11&start=1

If guys learned how to actually catch big fish they wouldn't have to straight arm them to make them look big on websites

Here's a sad addition to your story Skip, it's a dangerous job out there. http://www.theweathernetwork.com/news/articles/storm-hunter-joins-thousands-in-annual-dumping-day/60484/

Not always Dave but they often are. We had a member of this board a couple years back who saw he had a headlight burned out. On the way home from work the same day he stopped at CTC and bought a new one. He was stopped by a cop who gave him a ticket for the burned out bulb. He had the new bulb on the front seat of his car and the time on the bill proved he'd just bought it a few minutes earlier. Tell us THAT cop wasn't on a power trip.

That's the problem when you get a few guys who think they know absolutely everything about absolutely everything. Always tough to have a discussion with "experts"

Really sad when an interesting post goes down the drain.

Nuthin worse than a cop on a power trip.

Congratulations to you and all your family Bruce !!

It's not like a government to mis-manage our money....yeah, right
