Thanks Lew

My 3 fishing buddies and I have booked a cottage for a week in August at Mashkinonje Lodge located in the north West Arm. We have never been that area and are looking forward to going there to fish for bass, pike & walleye. Any fishing recommendations in the West Arm and experiences with the lodge would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Got a 32" LG still good after 10 years, a 21" LG in the kitchen still good after 6 years and a 58 Samsung good after 5 years. My wife was against getting the Samsung but loves it now. You got to do your research before you buy any TV or appliance.

Check the Ontario Parks reservation site for the campground you want every day in the morning after 7am. People book their preferred site for 21 days ahead then after 1 month cancel out the time they do not want. You may have to move to another campsite during your stay.

Hydro makes its money on the delivery charge which goes up the more you use. You may save some money with the tiered rates but check the delivery charge on your bill.

Great work Dave! I have followed your posts on your cabin from the beginning while I have been building my "cabin", have learned a few things from you. I am in the process of painting, then flooring then install kitchen.

Do you take a swim from your dock or is the water too cold?

Ordered S/S pipe from Pratt Sheet Metal, Thanks.

The heat causes my galvanized cap to rust out so galvanized pipe will not do.

Thanks, I will check them out.

Any body Know where I can get 6" single wall stainless steel stove pipe? I have been using the black pipe on my sauna wood stove but it rusts out too quickly. The wood stoves stores in USA have them but I have not found any in Canada. The 6" insulated pipe will not fit the existing chimney. Thanks for your reply.

Do you have a boat or fishing from shore?

Remember to turn off all burners before you turn your tank valve off and you should not have any more flow problems unless one of your burner valves is defective. I had your problem with my old BBQ and ended up throwing it out before I learned about the fix.

FYI Wal-Mart now has stainless steel BBQ burner tents for $9 each. Not many on the shelf.

Got 2 of them

Evening camp fire on our back lake fishing trip.

I have an 09 Nissan Versa with 180 K on it. Never rust proofed it, no rust on the body just a little surface rust on the frame around one back window. 1.6 engine runs good does not eat any oil.

Anybody have tried or experience with electric socks that are sold through Amazon?

My Canadian made Sorrels with good quality wool socks keep my feet warm. Drying the boot liners and socks each night is very important.

They put high voltage power lines under water without any problems. Electric and hybrid vehicles drive through puddles and rain storms without problems. The auto manufactures should be able shield an electric truck motor from water while launching.

The batteries for electric vehicles are improving. Let's face it, electric vehicles are in our near future. There maybe a delay in cold weather areas until it is proven they work ok there. Wonder if we will have all our boat motors replaced with electric ones.

That's my point. His wife charged with careless operation of a vessel causing 2 deaths plus the possibility of being sued afterwards should bring out the truth in the trial.

If he was drinking then it could be a contributing factor to the accident.

Did Kevin O'Leary give a breathalyzer test right after the accident? If not I wonder why not.
