I hear ya guys I actually fished Blue Lake in the bay one time--caught a bunch of smallies if I recall I know it's beauty country---but family reasons pulled us east

I don't know Lew----he looks pretty rowdy

Yeah it's a treat---try to capture something simple like a nice breeze through the bedroom window on a summer's night---perfect mix for sleepin Nope----the screaming parade starts like clockwork anywhere from 1-4 am Gave up on putting solar lights in the front garden---just ended up sweeping the smashed bits off the middle of the road

Beauty shot Skip---nice screen door as well---like that wooden style Yes c'mon spring

So There seems to be a significant group of us---the sit under a tree on a summer day on a hillside gang Here's one more---I live in a small town now---used to live on a lake in Northwestern Ontario---that's another story Our town has approx. 1000 folks------when the weather gets warm-----almost every 2nd night---partying teenagers----up and down the street---3-4 in the morn----screaming---puking---vandalizing etc. I guess I'm weird---when I was younger--yes I did some partying---but i always hit the sack at a decent time cause I was goin fishin the next day Pretty tough to sleep---so one day I'm thinking we'll be on the move yet again---sticks---here I come

I hope so--I used to fish creeks in Southern Ontario---nowhere near the same today

I guess we still can find little spots--my advice----keep it quiet

Thanks Cliff and I hear ya---- years ago I remember setting up a spot where I knew this buck was hangin around---took like an hour to walk into--and yup here comes buddy on his 4 wheeler stoppin by wantin to ask me questions Guess my fault--I should have bought a 4 wheeler to get further away

Ok....My next b'day I'm going to be 51 Been fishing since I was 6 and hunting since I was 15. And by practicing these things---one part I always, always treasured-----the ability to get away from rat races and crowds of people. When I was a kid I used to visit my uncles farms and that was great---heck one still did'nt have hydro and it was fun to go outside and pump water to drink from the well. But in recent memory---my little hideaways are slowly leaving---Constantly running into all kinds of folks pushing in farther and farther. It is getting harder these days to just do simple things---I used to be able to walk down some country roads and never see a vehicle---now you need orange not to get hit The lake I live by---in the summer I have to see if there is yet another tournament going on (which is most summer and fall weekends) because you would'nt get a parking spot Even in Northwestern Ontario--where you'd think there was enough room-----nope---trophy deer gets shot and people are going in droves. Met a guy from Michigan years ago on the crown and he made out like I was trespassing on his land. etc. etc. I know the world is changing---and yes--I'm reaching dinosaur status---but I'm just a little sad sometimes to see it go. Then it's a little compounded when I consider stuff like this by David Suzuki (maybe a board bro can help me again with this link) K i'm done feelin sorry for myself now.

right on

Thanks Staffman Good news today---heard back from that Dept at CHEO (Childrens Hospital of Eastern Ontario) The woman I talked to really liked it and she's running it around the dept's to ensure no probs and she'll get back in a couple weeks Good start

Thanks Ron---now I just need to get them to answer the phone in that dep't in the hospital (Donations dept)

Thanks Live2fish

Well I'm a CFL guy but I know you were doin the Tebow a while back Just to show I'm a good sport--not afraid of ridicule-----been a life long Tiger Cats fan been a rough stretch

Thanks PS and Merky and Pike slayer--sorry bout the Bronco's

Ok ...some artists round the globe have been having a discussion about artwork for hospitals So I'm going to try and do my part I'm going to set the wheels in motion and see if I can donate the original of this to a Hospital for Sick Kids I tried to incorporate as many things kids like---up to and including--inventing a couple critters Callin em "TerryKats" Hopin it will distract them from other issues---I hope Anyway here it is 24 x 36 Titled Optimism

Ok Thanks--maybe a good opportunity for him??

Just watched Angler and Hunter and seen him introducing the show and fishing largies Thought he was an FNC guy??

Lac Seul----Lots of lodges---best fishing for what your after

Merky!!...Merky!!...Merky!! Mmmmmmeeeeeeeeerrrrrrccccciiiiii...!!

OK Dude...That's a fatty

I have a great idea I've used in fishing for some years now I'm just too lazy to do anything with it marketing wise

Done it Craig Was disappointed that Karl Kolonka (sp) did'nt show up in survey---Xtreme angler I actually enjoy his show very much and pick up some tips And no we've never met

Thanks again Blaque You know I searched the Canadian news and could'nt find where they picked up on this story Hard to believe when it is somewhat important Thank Goodness I know what Lyndsay Lohan is doing though

Glimmers of hope---thanks for the info
