The neighbors stopped by for breakfast this morning this morning and brought the younguns with them

I had no clue how to post pictures either Brian and used to take my prints to some joint in Toronto called ...I think...computer cafe or something like that. They'd scan them and email them to Cory who in turn posted them on the board for me. My computer skills still haven't improved much since those days but at least now I can post the odd picture

I'd never touched a computer in my life until 2002 and knew absolutely nothing about them, infact I had little interest in them. My wife had one though and I decided maybe I should see what it was all about. She showed me the basics and said I could probably find some stuff about fishing. I started putzing around and came across the "the real fishing" website and started following links.....although back then I had no idea what a link was. Eventually it led me to the OFC site and it seemed kinda interesting so I started reading it and decided this computer stuff was pretty good. Been hanging around ever since. And howcum everytime I type OF..."ENN"...it comes up as OFC ??

Here's a link back to 2002 which is when I joined up. http://web.archive.org/web/20020402153808/www.ontariofishing.net/cgi/messageboard/view.pl

All my rods are in gloves when in the storage locker, sure makes life easier when pulling one out.

Thanks TJ, that was a great story and it's amazing how fast your kids are growing.

As mentioned Shane, they were chased away with an airhorn and haven't returned in several days.

My bud got an air horn and blasted the geese everytime they came near his property, plus he put a bunch of those 12" windmills around and it seems to be working and he hasn't seen a goose in days now.

Yup, 100% and thanks for asking.

Actually, I have no idea why you directed that comment at me as I wear Mustangs top of the line auto-inflate all the time when I'm in the boat by myself and often when I have a partner with me.

Good to hear Gerritt and keep pushing.

That's hilarious !!

Thanks for the update Brian and good to hear there's some definite improvements in your sight. Keep us up to date.

There's what we need, MORE legislation

Great story & pics for the early A.M. Fun times for sure !!

I just walked in the door and the job is done and hopefully I got them all. I emptied 2 cans of RAID wasp killer into the hole and the surrounding area 30 minutes ago and so far haven't seen another one. I got a good look at a couple of the dead ones and it looks like they were yellow jackets for sure. Rick, sure hope you haven't got too much of an infection in those welts of yours.

Are you suggesting a critter conspiracy Steve ??

The deed will be done later this evening around sunset davey. Sposed to happen last night but plans got changed around abit.

Yup, that pretty well describes it Mike, not one of my favorite days.

I didn't look so tough when I was laying crumpled on the floor Fred

Ah yes, the good ole days, I remember them well

Thanks for that link bowslayer, it was interesting reading. I just got back from town with a couple large aerosol cans of bee,wasp & hornet killer by RAID. We're heading up towards Bancroft for dinner tonight and if we're back before dark I'll do it then, otherwise I'll wait till Monday evening. All the stings I received are now showing up as red dots red it looks like I got hammered even more times than I originally thought plus some swelling under each eye where I got hit alot. Oh well, I'm feeling pretty good now and will just chalk this one up to one of lifes little hiccups.

I'm gonna use the RAID killer 1st and I'm sure it'll do the trick. We found a nest under the deck last year and this stuff was amazing. I hit it about 5 in the morning before the critters were awake and we never saw another one. Pulled the nest down and dumped it way back in the woods. Lotsa good suggestions though and all appreciated. Or maybe I can catch them alive and haul them down the road to my buddies place who's having a problem with the Canada Geese using his property as a public washroom. I'll get rid of my bees and he may get rid of his geese....win win for everybody

Thanks fellas, I'm feeling great today other than a few spots that are still sore, specially in my left ear. I'll head into town this morning for the bee killer aerosol and blast the daylights out of them this evening. I've used this product before and it kills them instantly.
