beauty...again

OK Stotster---crack open a pop----and join the rest of us in the ouch section I'm kinda takin a little solace that Alfie went to the Wings cuz they had a better chance---apparently tho just to play 5 more games than the Sens

Awwwww!!..that's just sick....Nobody uses pink beads anymore

Congrats on getting published Think CL is affiliated with Outdoor Canada as well We looked into advertising "Ced-Art" with CL----made sense to be where cottagers look Pricing was little too out there for ads though---would drive our works pricing up too high to be competetive Congrats again

I've seen many Black metal roofs after some years---wouldn't be my 1st choice for colour

Moxie---you are quiet the philosopher and poet Tis true

Gonna hold ya ta that Shloim---now git fishin Well Capt. .....we're gonna find out now.....eventually Joey....No Soup for you!!! Well Irish---I am in Highlands---tell everyone I livs on Walton's Mtn---and yes there are better days ahead

Would'nt the dealer have all the dimensions exactly with trailer Call to factory may as well??

Who gets to clean em all?? Unfortunately I usually get volunteered

Hey Irish----this stone fence in ma backyard remind ya of anywhere??

Is that over this way Irish? (Valley) Only reason I ask is...some folks go to their home when buried and some stay where they've made a life Seen it both ways

Goin out with your boots on eh Big?? I once knew a retired welder who figured he'd get shot by a jealous husband as he was jumpin out the window

Yeah Chris---again I recall my Mother worrying about me when I was out hunting on my own----always figured I run into a bear or wolves or somethin Then my Cuz said the same thing in as "At least you'll die happy"

Yeah---but I believe She's still lookin out for us "kids" She used to worry so much when my 2 brothers and I would go fishin---especially if storms were near That's why my boat is called "The Alice E."

Sorry for this Lew---Today April 23rd is also the 18th anniversary of my Mother's death----yes we always remember Yes Gallie---last word you want to utter is Regret

Yeah that's somewhere near me as well Crappieperchhunter--Also in my 50's and trying to live as much as possible Reminds me of that comedian's line-----If I figured I'd live this long I would have taken better care of myself Yes Same here Big---not preoccupying myself with dying----just noticed the difference lately on the news----seems like somewhere there's a line---not sure if you hit 65-70---your granted good run??

Yeah good points fisherman----there's always the guy that walks away from the plane crash and somebody can't make it up an escalator My cousin used to say---"if your born to be hanged....you'll never be shot"

Little something different here---or somewhat of an observation... And likely as an artist, I like many spend too much time thinking about death overall Where this comes from is recently Jim Flaherty dies suddenly at age 64----the country is shocked---so young so much more to do etc. Then yesterday Herb Gray dies at age 82----ok Good guy---good run... RIP So apparently in this 18 year span therein lies an acceptable life span Now everyone wants a long run but as you age you start having different stories ---2 funerals I've attended lately where the person died suddenly of a heart attack---the talk wandered into being "Lucky" If your 20ish---you'll think I'm crazy Whereas if your gonna go---that's the way So i'll likely end up with more questions than answers----Are we afraid to Die?...Should we be? It is those left behind that have to carry on the struggle There's a quote saying "To conquer death..you only have to die" Now the medical profession tries to keep us around forever----but a personal experience where we have a relative at 90 with low quality of life----I'll leave out details---I'm thinking is not good either? These question have always been asked I guess and always will---What is a good run?? Maybe I kept this note in my life for a reason-----My father died when I was 10----I then lost 3 uncles and a step father by 18 so it did teach me how fleeting this thing is----and trust me I've tried to punch life as hard as I could----hoping to avoid regrets Anyway---yes I'm like everyone here waiting for ice out---and too much time to think I guess I Always said though....If I'm Goin...I'm takin my fishin rod

YUP

C'mon Art---lets keep it a secret to these kids that we grew up in the best times-----from The Beatles to the Mustang

My desktop keeps shorting out when the waves hit the starboard side

Well if I could input "Real time " issues my 2 brothers----60 and 66---go to their tackle store and the books are gone---that's one neither use the internet----that's 2 and when they come up here to fish---they'll likely hit 4-5 bodies of water----can you imagine calling the ministry and asking detailed info on numerous bodies of water It's hard to get one sometimes They used to get the book though---and it's too easy to say be the 1st there---not even close to possible most times many scenarios under the sun

Still unsure why defend this cutback??

maybe?? But it'll never be as good as when ya reached into the water filled cooler and grabbed the glass bottle

We have One cell phone (basic---no apps or anything)---my wife uses it to text the kids---as we learned kids will answer texts before calls Me---no cell----and I've fished and travelled all my life---unplugged-----want to keep it that way
