I hear ya Cliff, but IMHO it's up to whoever owns a dock to be absolutely 100% sure it's secured so it doesn't break free or else get it up on the beach. I know a person who's dock broke loose when the ice went out and he couldn't have cared less, he just built a new one. A month later I found his dock 1/2 way down the lake in a back bay. I told him where his dock was and he said as long as HE didn't smash into it, it made no difference to him if anybody else hit it or not.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I've always thought docks should somehow be licensed so in a case just like this the owner could be held responsible for not properly securing it or removing it from the water before freeze. That huge dock is gonna be floating around GBay for awhile unless someone drags it to shore, or some poor schmuk is gonna be running down the lake in a month or 2 and hammer that thing and maybe kill himself.

Pretty sure I don't have any of that stuff Bruce LOL

I'll stick with a traditional shower in a warm bathroom, even in January, thanks you very much LOL

Thanks for the link msp that was great. I watched a fox run across my front lawn awhile back and grab & kill a squirrel before the little guy even knew what was happening. Maybe it's time to recruit him LOL

Forgot this one, I bought a new truck 2 years ago and was driving down the same road where I got stopped last week and came to another spot check. The cop walked up to the truck and stuck his nose in the window the way they always do to see if there's any smell of booze, took a big sniff and said "Man, I love the smell of new leather in a truck". He stepped back and just like the copper last week, and said "have a great day Sir" I spose it must be my friendly smile, cause none of the coppers ever want to check me

We used to get together quite a bit years ago but it just seemed to fade away. Hope you get it off the ground and have a great time.

That's lousy Shane and you'd think Kia would take enough interest to find out what caused the problem.

All the best my friend and have a great day !!

Curious as to what excuse they had for not covering a blown engine after only 40K

I've seen that show a couple times now, always enjoyed PP&M I saw a similar show about John Denver a couple weeks back and evidently he was friends with PP&M and used to do some shows with them. Lotsa good music from that era.

You have to give them credit for how they survive the brutal winters around here but I spose they've had a few million years...or whatever...to figure out what to do.

I've been doing a bit of reading this morning and it seems as if both mice & voles will burrow under the snow and build a nest to live in. Still plenty of snow around here, infact we got another inch over night and it's still snowing now, but I'm gonna pay close attention to the ground when it melts. Never had an issue before and hopefully it's not starting now.

I was cleaning up in the yard yesterday after some of the snow melted and and came across this. It's 6" wide at the base, 5" high and perfectly round and a week ago would have been under 2' of snow. I can only guess some little critter has tunneled under the snow and used the grass he found there to build himself a winter home, maybe a mouse or vole ?? Anyone know for sure ??

Fantastic Chris and congrats to the whole family. My baby turned 43 last month LOL

Yeah, their doing a great job out there and a laugh is always a good thing.

Wife & I were driving down a back country road this afternoon and came around a bend to see an OPP spot check with 3 cars and 3 cops checking vehicles. I pulled in line and as the last car left I moved up and waited to be checked. One of the cops waved me on & said I could go. I said "don't you want to check me ??" "Nope" he said, "your good to go sir" "Well, now I feel neglected" I told him. He walked over and said "OK then, I'll check you, we're looking for impaired drivers and folks not wearing seatbelts" "well" I said, "I don't drink and I'm wearing my seatbelt" He said, "Very good sir, you passed the test, have a great day" and started to laugh as he walked away" I said, "thank you sir and you have a great day too" and I laughed as I drove away. Always good to have a laugh once in awhile

Good stuff Wayne

This what your talking about Brian ?? There were several in the garage when I bought this place 5 years ago and I have NEVER seen a mouse in the garage, the house or anywhere else around here.

I was talking to Kevin a couple weeks back and he seems to be doing OK. As for opening this year, I don't think so but you should call to get all the details.

I could see it when the post 1st appeared but it's not there now.

As I mentioned in an earlier post Wayne, Diane recently needed a 10 day supply of medication and it was $2100 but because she's over 65 it's covered buy the government. I know that won't help you guys but I sure hope you can come up with something. There's some insane prices on getting healthy and I often wonder what folks do who can't afford some of these things.

I'm no expert James but I'd imagine a lot of the smaller injuries are from spawning fights or even from being caught by fishermen, but the major injuries like missing jaws may be birth defects. As for telling the difference between males & females, I have no idea, but perhaps at mating time the males are the ones with the biggest smiles

We had to go into town this afternoon and while there decided to stop at a restaurant for an early supper. Waitress came to the table and said Hi GUYS, my names Julie and I'll be your server. 1/2 way thru supper she stopped by and said hey GUYS, everything OK ?? We paid our bill and Julie said thanks GUYS, glad you enjoyed your meal. Great waitress in a nice restaurant but I couldn't help laughing while I remembered this post

Congrats on your 1st musky, that's the one you never forget. Don't be concerned about the gill, they get all kinds of injuries that don't affect them. I've got at least a couple with 1/2 the upper jaw missing.
