Cast-Away

A very cool picture!

Hey Bernie, you must be from Midland wearing a Pillsbury shirt! I think all of th employees wear them LOL

I have a 2012 Santa Fe Sport AWD with the 3.5L V6 engine. It is rated to tow 3,,500 pounds and I tow a 17' Legend with a 75 with no issues at all.

Like the others I am at a loss for words as I read this Paul. She had such a great outlook on life and I especially enjoyed her eye for photography. That in itself is a real talent!

A food video for sure. It looks like the driver lost control when crossing the wake from another boat.

You know, i was just reading the latest thread to get locked and also looked back through the last 6 pages to see other locked threads. Sometimes the lockdown revolves around politics which of course get's people worked up. Sometimes it is someone hijacking a topic which is not fair to the original poster. Things seem to really go south when people start getting personal. I don't get it. Questions for those here that are repeat offenders: Do you know that person you are attacking personally? If so, take it off line we don't all need to see the back and forth. If you don't know them, how would you feel if you met that person at a boat launch or better yet at a resort? You would feel like a real tool, especially when you find out that the person is very decent. Are you sitting in front of the keyboard drinking alcohol and taking unprescribed drugs and just going on a rant? If the answer is yes you should refrain from any replies and "read only". Do you put yourself in their shoes before you type something? For example, there are members here who are married to, living with, or friends with First Nations Folks. Attacking these people with general comments is not fair and puts people on the defensive. How would you feel in that situation? It does not matter what someones background is, we all deserve the same level of respect. In my own life, when I get upset or angry with someone, I always sit back and think about what I am going to say. I never reply or call right away, I will make notes to discuss over the phone or save an email as a draft until the next day and review what I intended to say. Some of you should try taking this advice and calm down. It is no wonder why so many great contributors to OFC have either left the site or post very little. I have never been a big poster, more of a daily reader and I find it really off putting to see what goes on here sometimes. This is a great site. Just show others respect and courtesy and remember your audience. Sometimes there are women, children and visible minorities reading this board. Regards, Warren Goodman

What a cool hobby Lew and a cool thing to do for nature! My late Father, used to love feeding the birds and particularly the Chickadees because they were so friendly and would always take food from your hand. Well that tradition carried on with me although I don't try to hand feed them.

Jezz I was expecting to read about somebody ice fishing in southern Ontario this month

To answer the question: to get to the "sp--m bank".

Any idea what they are worth Canuck? On a side note, my parents used to own the log cabin cottage at the end of the 14th concession, where abouts are you located?

Well it has been 30 years since the meltdown of reactor #4 at Chernobyl and life seems to be getting back to normal. Have a look at the clip below from an episode of River Monsters. The fish appear to be healthy but would you keep one and eat it? I know that the bottom feeders like Catfish will have the highest levels of contamination but still the question remains, would you eat a Walleye from here? http://www.animalplanet.com/tv-shows/river-monsters/videos/fishing-for-mutated-monsters-in-contaminated-chernobyl-waters/

Wow what a fantastic milestone Lew, congratulations! Married in your service uniform to boot, a proud moment for sure

Very nice Lew. Were you allowed to go aboard the Blue Nose in Halifax or is it only open when in Lunenburg?

Good for you Lew, i know where you are coming from. If you are doing little or no fishing any more and lost interest then why keep the boat and the equipment? We all change our hobbies over our lifetime and sometimes there is just too much work involved for what you get out of something. My buddy and I stopped camping and fishing 3 years ago because he no longer wanted to camp. Now we don't even get out fishing and I rarely see him. I simply go fishing with others instead. I do miss camping on Georgian Bay at remote campsites though. I am not ready to give up the boat, I enjoy boating too much even if I don't fish as often. I took up guitar about 6 years ago and put it aside after one year. Now I am staring lessons again. I starting flying RC planes 5 years ago and love it. I recently built a 65" WWII P-51 Mustang from a box of balsa and loved the whole building experience. I took me 275 hours from start to finish. Life happens and as we age, our priorities change.

Very cool report, I love the smiles on the kids faces and that they are holding fish at such a young age! The Jays hat and Canada hat are nice to see guessing you relocated to Pennsylvania?

I hear the thieves are from Kinmount and are one step ahead of the police!

Great report Nick. It looks like you were in Port Rawson Bay where the cruisers were all anchored. Did you travel down the Moon River?

Very good joke Dave!

You've got some great fish there.

Very nice photos once again Joey, you have a real eye for photography!

Another fantastic report Bunk. Nice to take the time to give everyone a good read. I feel like I am there when I read your reports!

Funny I gave Paul a good review on this post back in 2013 and recently tried to contact him. I got the voicemail the first time with his wife's voice and got no call back. I called 2 days later and spoke directly with her and he still did not call me back. I ended up taking my boat elsewhere for a repair. Anyone had any recent dealings with Paul or with Top Gun Marine?

Amazing shots. I loved the intense bear!

I would call it a FrankenRichard
