Yep, that's how it goes. But you have it in your memory, where it counts, and you had the adrenaline pump Joey

We bought in Richmond Hill. I love this area and am close to mom and work. Spooner Jr., that is a very disturbing report. Hmmmmmmmmm, I'm calling them in the morning. Thanks again, Joey

TONS of good info here and some terrific advice, thanks so much. I'm going to mull it over for the next few days on which avenue I'd like to take. I also had a few PM's and got some sound advice and even a quote coming. Thanks again, I knew I could count on everyone here. And thanks for the well wishes also, we're kind of excited about owning a home now. Got some plans on painting and decorating etc. Looking forward to that. I'll get back to you on the housewarming party Brian Joey

Great info guys, I really appreciate it. I'm learning alot here and am awaiting a quote from the broker. She also mentioned that the premium I pay if I go through the bank never goes down, yet the payoff of the mortgage does Doesn't seem quite right. Joey

Hey all, Paul and I finally bought a house a last week No more landlords We went in to sign the papers and were pressured into signing for Life/Disability Mortgage insurance. Now of course this is a good idea and you just never know what will happen in life, but the charge is outrageous!!!! Does everyone have this insurance and if so, what kind of monthly premium do you pay. I've got a call into a private broker right now. Waiting to hear back on what kind of premium they would charge but am curious as to what is a good/fair monthly premium. Your thoughts please. Joey

Well you talked me into it too Rick, see you there - and prepare to hand over the trophy Joey

Way to go Nancy, you go girl. That's awesome. You should probably use a leader next time, then you won't get bitten off, which pike are notorious for. Joey

Great report Paul, I can almost taste those perch, yummmmm. Joey

Another very nice report Holdfast. That second lake and camping area sure does look like a gem. Give us a report after you give that one a go. I'll bet its holding some great fish. Nice pike too, and Rat is a cutie. Joey

That's awesome hon, I'm so happy for you. I guess we won't be taking any more "shortcuts" through the shallows on the Larry anymore eh Just super hon!!! Joey

Way to go Awesome pics, I can't wait to see the underwater ones. I've added your tourney entry to our team Joey

Super report Tracy. I love the pic with the girls in it, that's priceless. Joey

Wow, I was unaware of this Chris, thanks for the heads up. Shane is a really nice guy who has offered us nothing but information, courtesy and generosity. Thanks Joey

Hope these help Cliff

Welcome, what a refreshing first report. Looking forward to more. And I'm just a tad jealous you can fish from your front yard Joey

Love the report and pics Jamie. You look so nice and warm, beauty. Some great fish you caught there. Hey, is that Dale Jr. on the right in the fourth photo Joey

Great report Mike, I'll have to try that trip one of these years, as well as he November one. You guys did quite well with the fish numbers compared to some of the other reports. Well done. Joey

Wooohoooo, fish and man porn, my kind of report Why can't the tourney people take any tips? That seems dumb, its not like you're catching and giving them the fish or anything. Kinda weird. Looks like it was a heckuva nice day G, great report. Joey

Sounds like a super weekend no matter what the weather did. Great pics and report. Joey

Super report, looks like it was a fantastic trip. Joey

I'm thinking Saturday night Ya'll had a few too many maybe Super report Joe, and great pics Gerritt. Thanks for reminding me of those asparagus wraps, now I'm hungry. Think I'll make them this weekend Wish I was there. Joey

Looks like it was great company no matter what the weather. Great pics Bernie. Can't wait to see more from other contributors. And those are some very nice slippers Nancy Joey

That's fantastic Lew, I'm happy for you. I was crossing my fingers and toes for the house, but I guess its a start, next the dresser Way to go hon. Joey

This is a funny story of one of our trips. We were heading back to Richmond Hill from Burke's Falls (Near North Bay) and traffic was stop and go all the way (mostly stop). We were in the old truck that had no air conditioning and it was HOT, Africa Hot!!! We had a friend who lives right on the highway in Washago, so we figured when we get to his house, we'll go visit and hope he has his air on. So we pull up the driveway and nobody answers the door but lo and behold, they have a nice above ground pool just calling us. So we stripped to our skivvies and jumped in. We were enjoying the cool after almost passing out from the heat all the way down and suddenly this old lady comes out of the house and says "Can I help you?" We looked at each other and then back at the lady and said "I'm sorry, my friend used to live here and we were hot and knocked but he didn't answer so we didn't think he'd mind if we jumped in the pool to cool off." It ended up she was his aunt house sitting for him while they were on vacation. She let us stay in the pool, although she didn't look happy. Man was that embarassing. Next time we went up to visit people in Washago at a party, whenever I was introduced to someone I didn't know they said "Oh, you're the one who scared Dave's aunt by skinny dipping in the pool." I'd say the trip, minus the pool part, was about 6 or 7 hours, compared to 3.5. Joey

Another truely awesome report Drew. I felt like I was there all the way. Thanks Joey
