We were posting at the same time Cliff. I just leave the battery disconnected when not using it Cliff and it holds the charge fine. It's only a spare tractor that I removed the mower deck from and only use it for pulling a cart around when I'm moving heavier stuff.

I bought a new TORO self propelled mower this summer and it specifies right in the owners manual to use high test only. I now use it in all my lawn & snow equipment.

For years now I've used 130 # Seaguar fluoro & crimps for my musky leaders and it's always been good. I ordered a new spool of the same stuff from JB's this past spring and although it's still 130 # Seaguar leader material it's a fair bit thinner than what I used in the past. Nice & flexible though and seems like good stuff.

My flower beds are still beautiful and the grass is still growing 3"- 4" a week so snowblowers are the last thing on my mind, but it's a TORO so it'll go on the 1st pull when it's time....or maybe the 2nd

People that don't fish because of an east wind are missing many many muskies.

Atta boy Mike, beauty fish, very very nice !!

I'm done with this now Art and I've said my piece plus you and I have discussed this around campfires and in my boat and you know my feelings. You folks have a great country with millions of wonderful people, many who I consider good friends, but you have a real problem with violence and hopefully you can get it under control someday before it's too late.

I had a great time growing up with cottages. My family would book a cottage for 6 weeks every year, with my folks taking it for 2 weeks, my dads sister & her husband would take it for the next 2 week and my grandparents would take it for the 5th & 6th week and us kids would be there the whole time. The cottage was at the very north end of Penetang Bay and for anyone familiar with the area we were just down the beach from the big white cross indicating where some priests were killed my indians when the area was being settled. That was decades ago but the memories are like it was last month and I guess that's the way it should be.

Morning Joey, Diane told me she was talking to you on the phone yesterday and how Ralphie wasn't adjusting to the blindness. That's lousy and I'm so sorry that it happened, he's such a nice little pooch. Hopefully he'll learn to cope with it.

I understand exactly what the point is but with guns being more difficult to get up here why don't we have mass murderers running around killing dozens of people on a regular basis with other items ? It just seems to be something with the United States that make so many of them so violent, so often, whether their using guns, bombs or pencils.

But nobody is going through your schools, churches & theaters and slaughtering all your children with pencils Art, their ALL using guns.

Yeah, that's hilarious !! LOL

It was pretty darned nice Brian, my brother and I started going with them around 1957 and continued for 15 years or so. That old barn is 10 miles west of Round Lake just outside of Algonquin and was built in 1825 along with the trappers cabin. They collapsed around 1965 so it shows how well they must have been built back in the day. Lotsa great memories from back then. That's me on your right with my dad & brother...eddyk

All I saw in the video Mike was a short clip of a boat in rough water, was that you and if so hold up your catch would ya, enquiring minds need to know

Awesome picture Capt, that one should be framed !!!!

Works for me davey

My wife worked for the Ontario Government for 20 years down at Queens Park and they had their own in-house newspaper. I believe it was back in the Bob Rae days when there was an advertisement for employment with the add-on that "whites need not apply" If Diane hadn't brought the paper home for me to see with my own eyes I wouldn't have believed. Lousy that these things happen but I spose it's been going on for years and will probably continue. Hope things work out for you up there mr. b

My grandparents (Dads folks) had a waterfront home in the n/w corner of Simcoe and were both VERY avid fishermen and fished practically every day including ice fishing in the winter. This picture is probably from the late 60's and is just a typical fish that they got on a regular basis. I was lucky and they both lived till nearly 90 and I spent many many years fishing with them. My mom's family were all from Killaloe and they were all deer hunters and my dad, myself and my brother joined them for years. Here's a picture of them back in the day with the old barn we lived in while hunting just outside of Algonquin Park from the 50's That's my dad on your left

Thanks Dave, doesn't sound too bad at all.

Unreal !!

That's for the guys that don't know what their doing

Shane, up on Nippissing I have my best musky fishing with an easterly wind and hope for it every day I head out.

This has become a good thread Mike so I sure hope you give us a story tomorrow evening....fish or no fish

Someone suggested maybe this moron collects personalized plates but who knows what goes through the minds of these lowlifes davey.
