I have this woman, once told me she doesn't like shrimp. Had never tried them and they just didn't interest her. She preferred goose. I made her eat a few garlic shrimp off the BBQ, even dipped it in the seafood sauce. And now, she'd have me cooking them every week if she had her way. Didn't think ice fishing interested me either.... until this started happening in my second year.... Now I find ice fishing quite interesting.

Melaluca (sp) is a newer organic thing being put into some creams coming out of Australia. It's harmless, like aloe. Look into it more if you like. It helped very much with two very pale white kids up here. Your boy is a cute lad, great Xmas pic.

Pretty good year for sure LungeLarry. Although you wouldn't know it from your pics. Seems none of those fish could make you even crack a grin, let alone, a smile. 2006 ain't over, so can't possibly post any pics here with one great last trip yet to come.

Gerritt, If you're looking to try different remedies for what is "likely" a type of dermatitis partly related to your sons developmental stage, but, could be a hereditary or environmental issue here are my thoughts. Your son is teething I can see. If he is a thumb sucker, finger biter or blanket in mouth while sleeping drooler, he is keeping moisture to the outside of his face longer than normal, and, because "babies skin is sensitive" (like the commercials so truthfully say) he is causing either a contact dermatitis, heat rash, a fungal type of dermatitis very much like diaper rash, or, a combination of all. Either that, or he has eczema (often hereditary form of dermatitis) First and easiest medical treatment is..... Vaseline or any Glaxal based ointment applied sparingly to the face a few times daily. If no relief see your family doctor and they may possible prescribe creams or ointments with hydrocortisone. Cortate is a commonly used medication for dermatologic conditions. It is not an OTC medication so you will likely need a prescription. Anything med treatments like this and you should always see your doctor first. I do not know your sons medical history, they should, and they should know what is safe. Some new things are on the market, other advice can be given, but, I can't get into any trouble with this public and common medical advice posted here. I don't need my butt sued if things don't work out.

Bought the wife an engagement ring. Just a little diamond people called the "Hope Diamond...?" Then she wanted this new cottage. I just about blew my top when she asked for a new fishing boat too... but, anything for my baby. 2006 set us back a little, but it was worth it.

TJ, I've used a new Strikemaster and it was quicker than my Jiffy I'd say. Last year used a Husqavarna too. Thing was quiet, sleek, but after about 20 holes after just being taken out of the box, the guy bent the auger shaft on the thing. Not understanding this he kept drilling and burned the thing right out. It was insane. I like my 10" Jiffy. I hope to sometime find someone whos motor has gone and I can pick up the 6-8 or 9 auger extension and add that to my collection. Had to buy the 10 last year for pulling up big pike and bending them into the holes in 1 foot depths.

19 years in Perth. 5 years in Ottawa 2 years in Attawapiskat 5 years in Moose Factory. maybe 3 more years in Moose Factory, then probably about 15 years in the Ottawa Valley, then back to here, over to there, and travel just about everywhere.

Funny ya bring this up today Doug for the past couple nights I've been storing destinations in my "favorites" for Ontario Pike, Brookies and Arctic Char (all separately) but was thinking I need a laker section for way down the road. Bumped into a few good different spots for ya, and already am aware of some others. Neultin Lake Selwyn Lake Plummer's Great Slave and Great Bear Kasba Lake Kluane Lake Athabasca Lake Anyone of them and you'd be fishing world class waters all with world class lodges. Except Athabasca, not sure...? As for Ontario.... outside of some of the Great Lakes and Nipigon.... well, I haven't really researched it. Lac Seul may have opps with all inclusive. Big Trout Lake I remember has an outfitter with an all inclusive package, and surely some great remote laker fishing, but, trying to find the website again just last night after seeing it a year or so ago, well, I couldn't. I think Nipigon for June would be prime. If considering that lake I have a link I'll pm you for something interesting to consider.

WOW Gerritt!!!! The Leaks sure are lucky to have you for a fan. You're their good luck charm. Their little green with envy Leprachaun. The Habs win.

Pretty much the dumbest poll, as in all of sport; not just hockey, the Montreal Canadiens are the greatest dynasty of any sports team with more cups/trophies and final round wins than anyone. Ignore that, you ingnore fact, which makes you ignorant.

Good stuff Bill

Yeah I'll miss her too she was fun. The mods decision in this one is petty. She had clothes on, she's a woman, her boobs were bouncing.

If anyone sees them again remember to hurt their feelings. lol.

I voted no at first but then changed to Leaf's suck.

I don't know what you mean by this, care to explain???

FISH ON!!! and, The Ol Diamond Back Sturgeon by Primus, just because of the lyrics. That "I'm Going Fishing All the of the time and my baby's going fishing too," song at the intro of "Going Fishing," but then, at the end of the same show they have that different "Going Fishing" song. On any given day either one will be humming in my head as I'm touring up river in the boat. lol Travelling Riverside Blues by Zeppelin is likely my longest running and favorite going fishing song. At the same time, whenever I hear it it reminds me of taking off in a plane on the runway at the airport in Moosonee.

Bren usually manages meals such as pasta, meatloaf, stirfry and such. I handle the meat, fish and potatoes. In the end, it's a pretty even split. We're both shiftworkers.

The bright side of having a kidney stone is, if the wife ever uses that old "well I went through childbirth.. etc... you don't know what pain is" line in a fight, you really do have the right to tell her to get lost. lol. I worked a urology floor a few times... one of the few places RN's actually just carry morphine around in their pockets.

So you marinate it to the color, texture and taste you want. lol. If it's good enough for Capn' Highliner to vaccuum pack, freeze and send all the way to us high society folk here in the Moose, well, it's good enough for you. lol. EAT IT.

8 pm's!!!!! ONLY 8!!!!! Again, good for you. You're obviously at an easily accessible spot to anyone.... the shore. lol. You're thread will reach far and wide posted here. Give it away once, twice, and there it goes..... snowballing downhill for you everytime you go there afterwards. Your good hardwork and time paid off for you. PM sent. kidding.

Smoked two guys and a woman in the eye before. Never been hit there myself. lol, OMG, lol. Ohhhh yeah, don't think it's good to be "continuing" to lose vision that many days later. Should get it checked out dude.

Where I have seen these two yahoos before.....? Again KC, impressive. Now, I never asked before, but, did you keep any of those dogs for the table???

Ha!!!! This report is funny. I'm reading it wondering and waiting who will finally ask.... "Where were ya fishing???" Gotta be killing some of yas not to know. Great report, good night out. How many pm's are ya up to know???

Bumper to bumper out there I tell ya. School kids in one chopper going back and forth, hospital patients and employees in another. Air ambluance buzzing around too. Commercial planes Air Creebec and Thunder Air taking business folk, vacationers, and people south for Xmas shopping. De Beers privately flying their people and supplies back and forth from the Victor Project. The skies can get hectic..... but at least were above the heavy Moosonee/Moose Factory smog. How's the drive on the 401 these days. Worked nights, so, pic is leaving Moosonee at 8am to head home to the island. Lots of ice down there. Not soooo much ice in the main channel, collector lanes were jammed tight though. Island ponds are solidifying. Scenery on the trip was OK I guess. traffic was bad. Strangely, the sun on this trip was in my eyes no matter if I looked east, west or south. The ride was a nerve-racking, sky-raging, gonna-be-late push to get home that took about 5 minutes, and it really was wierd to me that the suns position was where it was in some of my photos. Coming down to earth we managed to find a parking spot. Had to parallel park it between all the other vehicles. The pilot flipped some idiot the bird when the guy tried to cut into our spot. Even though I laughed about that, the morning commute can really be hard some days.

That my lad was a special kind of report. Helping Gramps land "his" first bow...... awesome. Feel good report, great fish, congrats.
