  1. I just learned that a member of OFC dropped some food off at our house on New Years Day. My kids thanked them and they left in a hurry not wanting to be given credit I assume. I have been battling cancer and just before Christmas we were informed that Kingston General Hospital cancer clinic can no longer assist me and they could not say how much time I have left. I will be going to Princess Margaret Hospital on Monday in hopes that they have some meds that will keep me around longer. Again I don't know who you are but my family and I thank you, it was someone in a blue Chevy pickup fairly new model. Regards, Sam
  2. Has been mentioned already and I suggest Belleville Sport and Lawn, they do good work and are honest people that do not steer you wrong. Regards, Sam
  3. Lew, I have just now read this and I am pleased that Diane is doing well and all the best to the both of you. Just simply great news. Regards, Sam
  4. Cliff, I haven't been on here much posting however I do come on here often to catch up on some of the postings. I seem to have plenty of time right now because I also have non Hodgkin's Lymphoma the aggressive B cell type and have been battling since July. I believe that I am on the winning end of it now as my chemotherapy will come to an end in January and I should be able to get back to work. My wife and I have become extremely edcuated with cancer as it scared the living crap out of us all. I have never been ill except for the yearly cold etc. and this crap blind sided us. If you need to ask any questions Cliff feel free to call us, send me a pm and I will forward you our number and either Laurie and I will be pleased to answer any questions or concerns that you have. I had 2 tumours in my body one on the side of my neck the size of a tennis ball which is now gone with chemo and the other which is quite large in my stomach. Next week I will be going for a CT scan to see how that is progressing with the meds etc. I have found that todays medical staff have a huge knowledge with dealing with cancer and the success rate is quite appreciative. I went from 50% probablility of success to 80% so I do like the odds that I have now. Rest assured that your daughter will be taken care of as medicine has come along ways in the past 20 years. We will also pray on your families behalf and a speedy recovery for your daughter. Regards, Sam ps I have saved a bundle on hair shampoo and cream rinse
  5. Hi Everyone, I haven't been on this site much as I am having to battle cancer at the present time, however on the issue of Ebola there will be many cases I would expect that will be reported in the Belleville area and the hospital is prepared to deal with them. This last case that was found to be negative is a welcome relief and the person that had it is a armed forces member returning to Canada. As we see more of our service men returning to Canada from the African area you will most likely see that they are taking all precautions and be admitted to the hospital if they have any sign or symptoms of ebola. Hope this clarifies some of the misconceptions as most of these armed forces personnel fly home on their own aircrafts and not necessarily charted flights. Regards, Sam
  6. Sorry for your loss Lew, I know how tough that decision is.
  7. We have propane furnace, propane hot water on demand (tankless water heater) propane range and a 10,000 watt generator. So we are normally quite comfortable when the power is out. Regards, Sam
  8. The ammo shortage was due to the Obama scare of gun control so the American citizens went and purchased many guns that were semi autos and handguns etc. The ammo demand followed as well as Homeland Security purchasing a great deal. I ordered a gun this past spring from Canadian Tire and was told then that gun manufacturers are way behind due to the demand in the USA. I was just recently in at Gander Mountain (approximately 3 weeks ago) and they seem to have gotten in some ammo lately and the shelves are again beginning to look stocked. All the rounds from shotgun to 22's to magnum rifle shells. Prices do not seem to be any cheaper unless you head further south then the border states. Hope this is of help. Regards, Sam
  9. My sincere condolences from our family to yours. Regards, Sam
  10. Hi Lew, I totally agree with you on this and I have certainly seen my share of disgruntled fisherman fighting over their lines in the river and their spots etc. The last time I did anything like that was 44 years ago at the Saugeen River in Southhampton and I watched guys then fighting and shoving each other around. I love the solitude of the boat as well and come to think of it I'm getting the boat ready for some walleye action on the Bay of Quinte. Will be out there for the next couple of months until freeze up.
  11. I have spent some time on the lake fishing and the fishing is actually not bad. The deepest part is approximately 22 feet deep. Lots of pan fish and pike. Consecon flows into Weller's Bay and then out to Lake Ontario. Regards, Sam
  12. 1: I prefer breasts to legs. 2: Tying the legs together keeps the inside moist. 3: Smother the butter all over the breasts. 4: If I don't undo my trousers, I'll burst! 5: I've never seen a better spread! 6: I fancy a little dark meat for a change. 7: Are you ready for seconds yet? 8: It's a little dry, do you still want to eat it? 9: Just wait your turn, you'll get some! 10: Don't play with your meat! 11: Stuff it up between the legs as far as it will go. 12: Do you think you'll be able to handle all these people at once? 13: I didn't expect everyone to come at the same time! 14: You still have a little bit on your chin. 15: How long will it take after you put it in? 16: You'll know it's ready when it pops up. 17: Just pull the end and wait for the bang. 18: That's the biggest bird I've ever had! 19: I'm so full, I've been gobbling nuts all morning. 20: Wow, I didn't think I could handle all that and still want more Happy New Year to everyone and I wish you all the best for 2013 Regards, Sam
  13. Incredible talent Chris. Regards, Sam
  14. Simply brilliant Chris nice workmanship. Sam
  15. Hi Misfish, Thanks for asking and yes things are well I think I am done with travelling around the world for my employment and it is time to be home with family and possibly getting my taxidermy business up and running etc. I will be working on fish mounts and repo`s this winter and get a web site completed and then have TJ get it on line here and get it working for me etc. In the meantime I have committed myself to driving tractor trailer for a local company here giving them a hand and do not really want this job to last long maybe just for the winter. I have my boat in storage and my youngest lad here at home is bugging me to get it out so next spring I will be fishing like mad and be able to post reports etc. I have been checking on the forums here lately as to what has been transpiring and have not really had much time to post so hopefully I will be able to contribute and get back into taking part in some of the fishing G2G`s. Regards, Sam
  16. Just lately been coming on here to get caught up and this is the first post and not a good thing to see that DNA of Asian Carp is nowpresent in Lake Erie. Sam
  17. Not sure how this topic got by me, maybe I need to be on here more often. Roy you are putting out some quality work there and you have become real handy with the air brush, great job and keep up the good work. Can't wait to see them completed. Regards, Sam
  18. Very sad news, our condolences to you and your family Simon.
  19. Done 677 good cause to drive the numbers up there. Regards, Sam
  20. The whole fishing community thanks you Ron for standing up to what is right and not letting the wrong bylaws run you off. Good on you Ron. Regards, Sam
  21. Hi Lew, Sounds like you had a great time but I still would have taken a pic of Pete losing one at the boat. Great to hear you and Pete are enjoying the trips, great friends and great memories. Sam
  22. Last night I received a call from a friend of mine asking if I would like to join them on a goose and mentoring one of his sons. I agreed and had a great time observing 3 new hunters on their first goose hunt. The mentoring program is a great method to introduce young hunters to our wonderful livelihood of hunting. I enjoyed calling in the geese for these youngsters as they opened up on the geese that were fooled by our calls. We were successful in taking 2 limits which were more than enough birds for 3 families and let the rest live for another days hunting in a couple of weeks. Youngsters are relaxing while the grownups are setting up decoys. Early sunrise My trainee in the next layout blind Greg (Dad) with proud daughter retrieving goose. The whole crew with 10 birds and yours truly behind the camera. Best regards, Sam
  23. Sounds like someone tipped the muskies that you would be in the area Lew and they shut down, still a great day with family makes up for it and creates memories. That's not like you wearing that white stripe down your back, I don't think you know what a skunk is at all.Lol Just means another day to go and get em. Regards, Sam
  24. Won't be long and she will have control of that bait caster. She definitely is a keeper.
