I love crazy weather. Had some tree branches in the backyard this morning. As long as they stay away from the boat I'm okay with it. I watched the weather channel last night and they said the wind would start in my area around 4 a.m. I woke up at 3:30 and there was nothing, then I was woken up again at 4:30 by howling wind, so they were pretty accurate on that.

Happy Birthday Rich. Looks like it was a great way to spend your birthday, fishing with someone you love Joey

I just called to get my registration number and the MNR told me I did not need one if I took the hut out with me and brought it back with me each day. She said it was NOT enforceable!!! I got one anyhow, don't need an argument on the ice with an MNR officer. Joey

Yes Gerritt, I remember that. Heart attack in a pot That was some goooooood!!! Paul still raves about it to this day. I think I'll have to give it a whirl. Here's one of my own fave's Potato, Leek and Chicken Pot Pie ala Joey: 5 or 6 waxy potatoes, cubed. 2 tbsp Butter 3 Skinned Chicken Breasts, cubed 1 Leek 10 Mushrooms, sliced 2 tbsp flour 300 ml Milk 1 tsp Dry Mustard 2 tsp chopped Fresh Sage 225 g Filo Pastry or puff pastry Frozen assorted vegetables (peas, carrots, etc.) Paprika Onion Powder Celery Powder/salt Garlic Powder Parsley 3 tbsp melted butter Cook the potato cubes in a saucepan of boiling water for 5 minutes, set aside after draining. Melt the 2 tbsp butter in a frying pan and cook the chicken cubes for 5 minutes until browned (or used leftover chicken or turkey) Add the leeks and mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes, stirring. Add the frozen vegetables and cook and stir for another 1 minute. Stir in the flour and cook for one minute. Gradually add the milk and bring to a boil. Add the dry mustard, fresh sage, potato cubes and the remaining spices and leave the mixture to simmer for 10 minutes. Add more milk if required. Meanwhile, in a deep pie dish line half of the filo or puff pastry. Spoon the sauce into the dish and if using filo pastry, line one sheet of filo and brush with melted butter, then another filo pastry sheet, and brush with butter, etc. until you have added about 6 filo pastry sheets (more if desired). If using puff pastry, just line with enough puff pastry to cover and brush with melted butter (you will not need as much melted butter). I like using both, the bottom of the pie with puff pastry and the top with filo. Cook at 375 deg for about 45 minutes or until pastry is golden and crisp. I can't stress enough how important it is to use fresh sage. It will not be the same if you use dried sage. Enjoy Joey

Good on ya Peter. I hope you can go the distance. I've quit successfully about 3 times, but always end up starting again for some reason or another after about a year. Hate the weight gain too. Make sure you have lots of celery and carrot sticks on hand. Congrats bud. Joey

I'm going to remain silent on this matter Joey
