Sounds like a great day. Now the wife will be as stoked as you to get fishin.

Too busy canning the harvest to do a big dinner. Had a big heaping plate of perch for brekkie though.

The turre, or properly known as the Common Murre, is a coastal bird that lives along the cliffs of the Newf and Lab coasts. A poor flyer but fantastic swimmer, it often got caught in the fishermen's nets. In years of poor catch harvests, fishermen from the outports would go out and hunt them or net them. They'd be cooked in a pie, not unlike..." 4 and 20 blackbirds baked in a pie' as the rhyme goes. Years ago a school buddy's Mom made a fantastic pie. His uncle would ship a crate of the birds from St John's every year.

What! Nobody from the "Rock" gonna mention Turre pie?

Any pie my wife don't like. That way there is some left for me

Jr A is better hockey than the Leafs these days This from a die hard Bud fan

Out our way, it was $10 an hour for duty calls only, a few years back. Had a few VFF friends who retired out now.

Hope to see lots of faces. How brave are you Vince?

She'll be a loyal, loving, lifelong companion. A walk every day and fish 3 days a week and she'll be living a ripe old age.

You need a blunderbussen fer der shooten de turkey

Lifr in the festering sewer gets stupider by the day. So glad I left 20 years back.

8" and up is the general rule of thumb for panfish. Maybe 7"+ for sunfish.

Now that is a mess of perch!!!

I try

I'll see if I can drag my sad and sorry out that night.

bribery works

I can tell you it tasted fandangtastic

Sometimes it gets downright frustrating reading the reports on the board about the great fishing. My turn. The chaperon/son and I drove up to Orillia to meet up with CPH today. Left Niagara's stormy skies behind to be greeted by bluebird skies and calm. Any who know Steve will tell you he is a stand up guy and knows where to find a few fish. Well we found fish. Early in the day we caught this sow. Followed by a surprise. In the end Rob and I brought home 60 very sizeable perch. THank you for a great day out Steve.

I'm up at St Jakobs most Saturdays til the snow flies. A good friend has run a farm stall there for the past 20 years. We have a hoot.

I'm certain I will not disappoint you. Was that medium, hot, or ?????

It's the end result that counts. The obstacles are just the daily challenges that make success that much sweeter.

have not had any fishing to report lately. Been too busy with the joys of the harvest. Time to can some of that summer warmth I'm still picking a bushel a week of the jalapenos. Nother few weeks and they'l pull all the tomatoes in the hoop houses. Can you say pickled green tomatoes?

Every once in a while, the employer gets back in a big way. I've sent numerous fellas packing when i've caught them soused on a jobsite. Drunks operating equipment are a hazard to everyone on site. And when house starts are slow, contractor crews are dime a dozen. In reference to plant substance abuse. The Scarborough van plant had to be one of the worst facilities on record. The union dug it's heels in and refused to address the problem. Any vehicle built on a Friday or Monday was a lemon. There was also a practice called red-balling that employees were engaged in. A red ball on the dash meant the vehicle was due for some "special attention". In the end the plant was shut down and a lot of jobs were lost.

I do dearly feel for you. It's too much to have dumped on your plate in one day. I hope your daughter will recover quickly. She is the priority concern at this moment . Take care.
