  1. Been there, seen that. Last year I got a good swim in Simcoe courtesy of some butt head in a bass boat came flying out of the river by Keswick. Full bore IN THE FOG. I heard him as he was behind me I didn’t see him until it was to late. Unfortunately I had one of those rental tin cans with very little freeboard. Hey look there’s some water in the boat, hey LOOK there’s a lot of water in the boat, holy !@^%^ I’ve been swamped and she’s going over. Few hundred $$ worth of gear in the drink. If I could have gotten my hands on him I’d still be in jail. But if you look how people drive on the highways…………………………….
  2. anybody ever use this guy Greg Klatt PO Box 408, Fenelon Falls, Ontario K0M 1N0 Goes by http://www.profishntanglingservices.com/ Reason I ask is that the better half and I have been married 10 years today (thought it wouldn't last 10 months but........) and she wants to go fishing. Not owning a boat and sick and tired of venturing out on Lake Simcoe in those overpriced rented tin cans that swamp if you look at um crosseyed I wanted to do something that she would enjoy. Not targeting anything special just catch a few and enjoy a day on the water maybe even a few to take home for a fish fry advice, comments appreciated thanks Bob
  3. Great pic's. I don't see any conflict at all. I have fished for years and had aquariums on and off for the same period of time. I used to breed African Cyclids but now I have a 60 gal tank of mostly tetra's. It is really peaceful to kick back and relax and watch them.
  4. Those who get all wound up about fishing and then when you ask them to go they come up with a 100 or so excuses
  5. The guy I really feel sory for is my roofer. He starts this morning and is looking at 2 days of work in this heat. Well maybe this afternoons thunderstorms will cool it off somewhat. Me I got a data centre with 40 tons of A/C here at work, make a great beer cooler too
  6. Man Harry's getting expensive. Last year it was $50 for 4 hours and the 4 hours started at pre determined times. I would be very careful with those tin cans as they have very little freeboard and swamp easily (that from personal experience)
  7. Mostly local, BPS and LeB's sometimes CTC and Wally World. NEVER BPS on line as the customs, duty etc etc will kill you. Cabelas, on the other hand, is great on line.
  8. Sounds like one of my adventures (and the final score is fish 10 Bob 1) , where did you rent from ???
  9. After watching this for years and all the twists that Chase built in to it could it have ended any other way. Seems that dinner has been a recurring theme. Leaves room for something more movie ???
  10. As usual the government is studying the issue, but I heard this morning thet the Minister of Graft and Corruption isn't interested in doing anything so I leave with one final word.............screwed OK two words............. screwed again
  11. All I gotta say is wearing one saved my bacon. Fastening them shut would have helped too. Folding your arms across your chest trying to keeo the thing on doesn't help an already bad situation. And I never thought that 72 degree water was cold until after I got out and I never felt so cold so deep inside before in my life. I am a good swimmer but after that "little incident" I would never go out without one on and fastened.
  12. Avoid UPS like the plague. My wife bought me a rod and reel from BPS about $200US the shipping, handling, brokerage etc came to over $50. For that I could have bought a better reel. I noticed that Cabelas ships USPS and that works just fine. Takes 3-5 days
  13. so that's how to get rid of those pesky buggers
  14. I thought I read that they did pass a law against having an expiry date on gift cards but then I don't have a mind 30 days till vacation
  15. what a rotten way to start the day, but as others have said same thing year in and year out
  16. Ouch, now I really feel old. What about radio, the Lone Ranger, the Shadow, the Fat Man, Sky King. And what about the Ash men. These were the old version of trash collectors that actually came into your basement and hauled away the ashes from your coal furnace. Stuff musta weighed a ton. Beat cops that actually walked a beat, and enforced the law in their own special way, the list goes on.............................
  17. I can highly recommend John Swan a.k.a. Swanny http://www.swannysbassguides.com/index.htm We went out last fall about 20 minutes from Orlando and had a blast.
  18. cursed firewall, wait till I get home
  19. Redneck Book of Manners Rules 1. Never take a beer to a job interview. 2. Always identify people in your yard before shooting at them. 3. It's considered poor taste to take a cooler to church. 4. If you have to vacuum the bed, it is time to change the sheets. 5. Even if you're certain that you are included in the will, it is still considered tacky to drive a U-Haul to the funeral home. Dining Out 1. If drinking directly from the bottle, always hold it with your fingers covering the label. 2. Avoid throwing bones and food scraps on the floor, as the restaurant may not have dogs. Entertaining In Your Home 1. A centerpiece for the table should never be anything prepared by a taxidermist. 2. Do not allow the dog to eat at the table no matter how good his manners are. Personal Hygiene 1. While ears need to be cleaned regularly, this is a job that should be done in private using one's OWN truck keys 2. Proper use of toiletries can forestall bathing for several days. However, if you live alone, deodorant is a waste of good money. 3. Dirt and grease under the fingernails is a social no-no, as they tend to detract from a woman's jewelry and alter the taste of finger foods. Dating (outside the family) 1. Always offer to bait your date's hook, especially on the first date. 2. Be aggressive. Let her know you're interested: "I've been wanting to go out with you since I read that stuff on the bathroom wall two years ago." 3. Establish with her parents what time she is expected back. Some will say 10:00 PM; others might say "Monday." If the latter is the answer, it is the man's responsibility to get her to school on time. 4. Always have a positive comment about your date's appearance, such as, "Ya sure don't sweat much for a fat gal." Weddings 1. Livestock, usually, is a poor choice for a wedding gift. 2. Kissing the bride for more than 5 seconds may get you shot. 3. For the groom, at least, rent a tuxedo. A leisure suit with a cummerbund and a clean bowling shirt can create too sporty an appearance. 4. Though uncomfortable, say "yes" to socks and shoes for this special occasion. 5. It is not appropriate to tell the groom how good his wife is in the sack. Driving Etiquette 1. Dim your headlights for approaching vehicles, even if the gun is loaded, and the deer is in sight. 2. When approaching a four-way stop, the vehicle with the largest tires always has the right of way. 3. Never tow another car using panty hose and duct tape. 4. When sending your wife down the road with a gas can, it is impolite to ask her to bring back beer. 5. Never relieve yourself from a moving vehicle, especially when driving. 6. Do not lay rubber while traveling in a funeral procession. Two Reasons why it is hard to solve a Redneck Murder: 1. All the DNA is the same. 2. There are no dental records
  20. Lessons of Life From Texas - or - A TEXAN'S ADVICE ON LIFE... 1. Don't squat with your spurs on. 2. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment 3. Lettin' the cat out of the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin' it back in. 4. Never drop your gun to hug a grizzly. 5. If you're riding ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there. 6. If you get to thinking you're a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else's dog around. 7. A good horse never comes in a bad color. 8. After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him....The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut. 9. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day. 10. There's two theories to arguin' with a woman. Neither one works. 11. Don't worry about bitin' off more than you can chew. Your mouth is probably a whole lot bigger'n you think. 12. If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'. 13. Never slap a man who's chewin' tobacco. 14. It don't take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of sheep. 15. Always drink upstream from the herd. 16. When you give a lesson in meanness to a critter or a person, don't be surprised if they learn their lesson. 17. When you're throwin' your weight around, be ready to have it thrown around by somebody else. 18. Always take a good look at what you're about to eat. It's not so important to know what it is, but you might need to know what it was. 19. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it back in your pocket. 20. Never miss a good chance to shut up. 21. There are three kinds of men The one that learns from reading. The one that learns from observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves
  21. Absolute Bull. The Minister of NR should resign, or maybe come next election we can throw them all out. Wait that would only replace moron A with moron B. We're doomed
  22. Tornado Here is a tornado doing its best to form. To bad you can't see the rotation but there was quite a bit. Tried really hard to form for about 15 minutes and then just gave up and vanished. The lake is Arrowhead in northern Texas and the clay bottom contributes to the brown water.

    I wouldn't touch anything out of Micromess that isn't at least at an SP 1 release. If they were making anything but their software they would have been sued out of existance long ago.
