  1. English is a complex and often nonsensical language that is always changing. Writing it is equally difficult. I do notice when someone gets things a little sideways but try not to make an issue out of it, in part because I know there are some wholes holes in my skills.
  2. He also had the fishin' magician that I think was given to me at one point but I have no idea what became of it. The original multi-tool?
  3. K-tel version "from the makers of the pocket fisherman" is the tadpole. Now I'm not sure which my cousin had?
  4. My cousin had a pocket fisherman and when I was 7,that was the coolest thing ever. http://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/canada/manitoba/phil-kives-k-tel-winnipeg-obit-1.3556818
  5. Ya, I recently replace my 5 year old phone and when I downloaded the nevi app it doesn't have any lake depth info like the old one, unless you pay. I haven't paid yet and might not bother, I've got the SD card and the lap-top.
  6. To-Lu comin' around after his second homerun today. Saturday home games are junior Jays days and in the upper level the kids get in for $12 and they can run the bases after the game.
  7. Really wanted to like a guy like him.
  8. A Kin talks about the Jays ambidextrous pitcher Venditte: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/programs/metromorning/pat-venditte-1.3548115?cmp=rss
  9. "Only" 2 runs in the top of the 1st but 38 pitches by the starter to get 3 outs.
  10. Man, the Jays sure work the counts. Lots of opposing pitchers are having to throw lots of balls and are leaving games an inning or two earlier then standard. That's more pitches for the pen.
  11. My friend is considering buying a cottage. He asked me about the lake. I was wondering about the type of Lake it is. Deep/weedy etc. Is the lake getting better or worse? Is it the goto lake in the area or do most fish else where. Is it the type of Lake that has tons of water skiers and jet skis. Did it get fished out by yokels in the 70's and 80's. Save "your spots" if there are fish, I'll find them. Although I have some insight as to why he might be getting a deal.
  12. A friend is looking at a place on Mill Lake and I figured this would be a good place to look for any intel on the lake. PM if you prefer. Thanks
  13. Sure individual batters are an issue but they can not step out like before. Pitchers control the speed of the game. Red Sox and Yankee games are always near the top of time for 9 inning games and when they play each other it often takes close to 4 hours for 9 innings.
  14. Jays with a 11am start today in Boston... The way the red sox play I should be able to watch the last couple of innings after work.
  15. I had a similar problem a few years ago. I just needed to clean up the conections in the foot pedal and tighten a few screws. Easy to check that before going further.
  16. Another contender is the one who jumped the fence at the Toronto Zoo to get a hat from the tiger enclosure.
  17. Shapiro appears to be the only one that knows Cleveland was the hotbed for baseball office staff. This year's Jays are going to be the least effected by this. It will only get worse in the following years and it doesn't look good at this point.
  18. Body found: http://barrie.ctvnews.ca/body-of-missing-canoeist-recovered-from-pigeon-lake-1.2862267?platform=hootsuite# The body of a missing canoeist from Halton Hills has been found in Kawartha Lakes. According to Kawartha Lakes OPP, the body of the 28-year-old woman was recovered from Pigeon Lake on Saturday morning. The discovery comes five days after the OPP ceased search efforts for the woman. RELATED STORIES Search suspended for missing canoeist on Pigeon Lake Search continues for two missing canoeists on Pigeon Lake Body of missing canoeist recovered from Pigeon Lake Police say the woman and two other people went out on a canoe on April 3 to retrieve a pedal boat that had drifted away from shore. One person was able to successfully make it back to shore after the canoe capsized. The body of a 23-year-old Scarborough man was recovered from the lake on April 5. Police say none of the canoe occupants had life-jackets on.
  19. Peanuts are a legume, not a nut, I thought?
  20. We moved south from North Bay to Barrie in the summer when I was about 11. We'd been swimming in Nipissing for 4 months by then and ran right into Simcoe. Delayed my puberty by at least a year.
  21. Gibby signalling to the pen who he wanted: Buck Martinez has played a lot of ball and watched even more, said he'd never seen that before.
  22. Dude intentionally went for a dip in Kempenfelt Bay today. http://www.thebarrieexaminer.com/2016/04/15/taking-an-early-dip-in-kempenfelt-bay Mine would never fall again.
  23. They showed Venditti warming up tonight in the bullpen (he didn't go in). He threw a couple right handed and then just smoothly flipped the glove to his other hand, caught the ball and threw with his left. Just like playing catch in the front yard. I hope he sticks just so I can see him do that a couple of times a week.
