In some circles the 5 gallon bucket is a legal form of measurement. Most everyone if told I got a 5 gallon bucket of perch can usually guess within 10 fish how many you caught.... Art

Nice ride... try it with the riser before you get rid of it. It looks like it keeps you straight up and down instead of hunched over. Art

I am sorry to hear this Phil. I am glad that your memories will keep him alive and now you have help with that from all that read your post. Art

Nanook ( Jack Gomersall) 76 years old Birthday:January 26, 1935 Passed: December 29,2010 Location: Buckhorn, [Kawarthas] Interests: Fishing, Wood carving, reading Beloved husband of Jackie for over 52 years. Dearest Brother-in-law of Diane Tingle (Trevor), Stephen Paul, Dorothy Leverton, Valerie Oates & Barbara Hammill. Son-in-law of Irene Paul. Dear brother of Sandra Dover & Jessie Kennedy. Uncle Jack will be sadly missed by many nieces, nephews their extended family and many friends. We are sorry to lose such a great man to Cancer

I got my card about 2 months ago from Canada's MNR I put it into my glove box in the Titan so when I come up I can get my license to fish. The Fishing license we have here can be bought on line also and is good from the date purchased one year later. Art

Yaaa didn't Art

Welcome to the board and enjoy your stay. Art

Your best bet is to take a piece of 4lb test with you and see if it will fit between the spool and the frame some of the lower quality reels are built with tolerances that are generous in this area and will allow the line to slip up and get cut. Art

Jackie I am so sorry to hear that Jack has passed. I am grateful that he had Christmas with his family and loved ones around him.While his body has passed on he will live in the hearts of all he has touched. I did not get as much time with him as I wanted but the time I did get is very precious to me. I have one of his carvings of a unicorn and it brings a smile to everyones face that gets to see it and the story of the man who's talent turned a piece of wood into a mythical horse. While we grieve for the loss of the ability to make more memories with Jack we also should realize that the ones we all have have become even more precious to us. May all of our prayers light the way for his Journey into the Lords hands and one day to be reunited with our friends. Art

Ouch thats a tough bill Dan it is one thing to drop $900.oo on a toy that you can play with but to also have to install it. Hopefully you won't have to do to much sheet metal work that stuff cuts me every time I look at it. Good luck and run the house up to 85F before you disconnect the unit Art

Down here in the south we call that a car wash in the making.... Art

It was till you all sent down that arctic blast yesterday. We will be in the upper 40F by Thursday though. Art

Then why was that black suburban up their with men in black suits......Aliens...but I have said to much already. Art

Done like a true champion Brian thanks for the effort and time. It has earned you one frosty cold beverage of your choice at Lak Air this year. Art

Thats a tough question and I am not sure what the answer is. You might attack this from a different angle though. See if you can find someone on the board that will trade a trip for a thermos of hot coffee, bait and a strong back to haul things out on the ice. You can also go to a place were people are ice fishing and explain that you need some help learning the art of ice fishing I am sure that you will get a taker or two. Art

Thanks for the shots it is the only way that I will see the moon after 9:00 P.M. Art

Yes that is true that I had to call all the way up to Canada to get an answer from someone I trust. The irony of it is even with a bad phone connection you still heard the sound of 2 of 6 coils being bad. Now hurry up and move closer please we have over 100 cylinders on the farm and counting... Art

You are so right how can you tell if it is a stuck needle on the carb if you don't taste the oil??? Art

Man just think what the fish is thinkin as he is pulled up the tube of ice? Alien abduction at it's best. Art

Wow that fish looks colder than you maybe you should get it a jacket? Art

A masterful job of cut and paste for you Cliff Cataract Surgery & Astigmatism Reviewed by: Jason Jacobs, MD It is important to know a little about astigmatism and Cataract Surgery because this refractive condition can affect your ultimate vision correction after your Cataracts are removed, and thus your overall satisfaction with your surgery. Astigmatism is a common refractive eye condition that, depending on its type and severity, may cause blurred vision. Generally astigmatism is caused by the Cornea having an irregular shape. The Cornea of a perfectly shaped eye has a smooth spherical surface, like a basketball. In eyes that have astigmatism, the Cornea will have more of an oblong, football-like shape, kind of like the shape of the back of a teaspoon. Astigmatism does not always require correction in order to achieve good vision. Many people have some astigmatism. But, if only a small degree of astigmatism is present you may not even notice it, as it will not disturb your vision. Greater degrees of astigmatism do cause a blurring and sometimes a shadowing of vision and thus require correction in order to help you see your best. Astigmatism can be pre-existing, meaning that it is present as part of your refractive error before your cataract surgery, or it can be post-surgical meaning that it occurred as part of your eye’s healing response you’re your Cataract Surgery. Pre-existing astigmatism can be corrected as part of your Cataract Surgery to improve your vision and help you be less dependent on glasses or perhaps not even have to wear eyeglasses at all to see clearly at distance after your Cataract Surgery. Pre-existing Corneal astigmatism can be corrected during your cataract Surgery by two methods: A procedure called LRI or Limbal Relaxing Incisions allows your surgeon to place small peripheral incisions in the Cornea to “relax” the astigmatism, or Implantation of astigmatism correcting “toric” lens implants or IOLs. Which procedure is right for you depends on the degree of astigmatism to be corrected. In some instances it may be necessary to have both a toric lens implant and an LRI to achieve your goal of not needing glasses to see clearly at distance after your Cataract Surgery. In a small number of cases it might even be necessary to have a Laser Eye Surgery procedure such as LASIK or PRK if you have a very large amount of astigmatism. Your Cataract Surgeon will fully discuss these options with you if you have pre-existing and may require both types of procedures or even LASIK/PRK if there are large amounts of astigmatism. Post-surgical astigmatism can be corrected after your Cataract Surgery to improve your vision and help you be less dependent on glasses or perhaps not even have to wear eyeglasses at all to see clearly at distance after your Cataract Surgery. Post-surgical astigmatism can be corrected by two methods: The LRI procedure as discussed previously, or A Laser Eye Surgery procedure such as LASIK or PRK. Again, should you have post-surgical astigmatism that requires correction, and if you do not wish to wear eyeglasses or contact lenses to correct the post-surgical astigmatism, your Cataract Surgeon will make specific recommendations on what options will help you achieve your vision correction goals. The information that has been provided here is intended to give patients an overview of Cataract Surgery and astigmatism. It is possible that your individual experience might be different. None of the information provided here is meant to be a substitute or replace your physician’s consultation nor does it replace the need for you to consult with your surgeon about specific details of Cataract Surgery, astigmatism, LRI Limbal Relaxing Incisions or Toric Lens Implants.

Lew see if you can get some Timothy hay or Orchard hay it is closer to what deer should eat. Alfalfa hay is great for cows but tough on deer,horses,and goats (25% or higher will bloat them). The deer are used to eating leafy vegetation and if the hay you feed is mostly chafe (the part of hay other than the head) it can give them bulk in their belly but little to no nutritional value. If you want to get a mineral block at the local feed store that will bring the deer in to see and give them all they help they need from humans. If the deer are starving you will notice them barking the trees and you will see plants close to the house eaten to the ground. Art

What a nice setting for a holiday Roy. We are heading down to Chez Joes for dinner featuring his signature Prime Rib, Yorkshire pudding from Gracie, my sage stuffing and more good things to eat. I will get a picture or two soon. Art

We actually spent many a day driving around looking for our "bucky the mechanical deer" that DNR set up to catch people road hunting. We never found him for that once in a lifetime picture of giving him a kiss. The hunt for Bucky ended after talking to a DNR agent who informed us that even if we were to just give him a kiss he would have to charge us with trespassing. If I ever stumble on Buckies location I think I will get the picture and frame the ticket Art
