  1. If they break in and find nothing worth stealing, they trash your place in spite. Happened in our neighbourhood a couple of years back. Still cost the family thousands in home repairs.
  2. That was Dustin. He, his brother, and sister were scouting youth in 1st Beamsville.
  3. As long as the hind claws are still there, the cat can defend itself. Those are the ones that do most damage.
  4. It is truly a sad day when the young ones you watched grow up die before you. As a scout master I was privileged in knowing many a fine young child. Some being more like sons rather than someone elses kids. Not all angels, but each was special. Regretably, I was give the news that one of these boys had been murdered in Hamilton. Such a terrible waste.
  5. They did a fantastic live show back in the day. The drum solo 3/4's into the set was awesome.
  6. I got a bottle from Cliff a month back. Works real good on my shoes
  7. There are a lot of things we lost due to govt regulation. Into the early 80's you could still go out, catch some fish, and have the cook at the local restaurant add them to your meal. That only happens at the more secluded fishing lodges now. We used to do that regularly on a Sunday morning.
  8. Sarnia/Pt Huron was listed as the worst because Pt Huron is a training facility for the US border service. It's like driving down a street lined with police cadets armed with shiny new ticket books.
  9. Fort Erie. Worst Crossing point from Ontario to U.S. is Sarnia/Pt Huron
  10. Do you think theat the bought and paid for politicians in Ottawa would dare to raise a finger against their corporate masters?
  11. Shore perchin in Niagara will go into December. Water has not got cold yet.
  12. From mash there is a fair amount of boiling to do to thicken, plus a liberal amount of sugar to fortify.
  13. A guy walks into a bar in Kentucky and orders a white wine. All the Rednecks sitting around the bar look up, expecting to see some pitiful Yankee from the north. The bartender says, "You ain't from around here, are ya?" The guy says, "No, I'm from Canada ." The bartender says, "What do you do in Canada ?" The guy says, "I'm a taxidermist." The bartender says, "A taxidermist? What in tarnation is a taxidermist? Do you drive a taxi?" "No", says the Canadian "A taxidermist doesn't drive a taxi. I mount animals." The bartender grins and hollers, "It's okay boys. He's one of us."
  14. Balsam lake trailer park and marina on Highgate Rd just off the 48 Public launch at Mitchell Lake then take the canal into the west end of Balsam.
  15. After a bottle of that I should be, as they say, "pickled" Truth is we would not be eating half as healthy if we were relying on the stoopermarkets.
  16. Beautiful song of spring. How does someone pick a favourite from all that he wrote or performed. Another one of those great musicians that played Massey Hall year after year.
  17. After having bottled hundreds of jars of pickles, preserves, salsa, etc..., I really look forward to bottling this last item so it is ready for Christmas. In the summer they look like this. Wee little elderberries that I pick by the bushel. The last pick is set aside for myself, and it was a more abundant pick this year. Tonight they became one of my favourites.. Brandy I still have salsa to bottle, but the brandy marks the end of the harvest season.
  18. While everyone else around here has been crowding the banks, shoulder to shoulder, I've been busy harassing the perch and pike without too much trouble. Have not taken too many pics. Have enough trouble keeping the theiving dog from biting into every perch or diving in after the pike. Was a little cold out for the dog to go swimming. There have not been the numbers like up on Simcoe, but there certainly has been the quality.
  19. Near as fine a blue water recipe as fish head soup. Hard tack would be bruised and boiled to serve up with such other favourites as pemmican and bully beef
  20. I was a bigger fan of Cream or the Yardbirds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vylPdd3mT0k&feature=related
  21. You yanks don't know what real bacon is.
