Too cute. Reminds me of my daughter. At 2 she took a litter of kittens and placed them in the compartment of her Sesame st. bus to take them for a ride. Patches was just frantic.

Great videos Simon. No wonder I don't get any work done around the house. They're worse than hypnotism.

Pst week has been great for getting out on some of the local ice. Heck, even the fish were playing nice for a couple of days. Regretably the high cell stalled the bite the past 2 days but the weather was too beautiful to pass up. Tuesday's volunteers. Rob d"s squeze showing him how it is done A couple of the local thugs Now if only the ice at the smelt grounds would firm up.

Don't forget Uncle Bobby, or Davey and Goliath

The biggest thing these kids are missing is fresh air fun. A good game of hide and seek would last a 1/2 hour a turn. Do kids even know what tag, buck buck, hand ball or red rover are any more? You can't play a game of baseball during recess or lunchtime at school. Show up with a bat and it is confiscated and the child suspended. We played pond hockey and schools had outdoor rinks. Even in the 80's I was taking my turn at flooding the rink at night with my neighbours out in Scarberia. We also had bb guns, slingshots and firecrackers

Wasn't Rob D

So nice to see the entire family having fun together.

I feel sooo sorry for the under 30's cause they don't know what they are missing. They're all plugged in, connected and bored to death. 2525 is happening too soon( have to be 50+ to understand that one).

What's so strange about that. I've been known to need long naps under the shade of a big willow with line tied to my finger. Great way to mellow out.

Congratulations and well done Botbot

Well done. You tried something new, got some help, and reaped a fine reward.

like they say, the rules change under the ice and it is going to take some time to figure it out.

Gotta like seeing a little happy camper, He needs his moment in the spotlight too Dad

Sucks about the blade, but good on getting the lakers.

ESCAPE THE MRS!!!!

Lots of reasons to be smiling.

I think it's going to take a couple of seasons to figure out an ice pattern out in the K lakes.

Great Big Sea

Got out to the pond for a few hours with Rob D (the son) for some perchin. Not the most active bite, but enough to entice tomorrow's breakfast. All caught on teardrops tipped with salties. Lots of surface water but the ice was still solid.

Nice looking stuff guys. Don't know much about fly tying but those look quite lifelike. The inline spinners are sharp. Me, I tie bucktail harnesses and bucktail jigs

Need a bigger beard

Beats sitting at home Jacques.

European fish farming. Can hardly be called wasteful. People on this side of the world have obviously lost touch. Better than a lot of N American netting operations where pike and other bycatch species lie in rotting piles on the shore. Saw enough of that up North.

After having owned an HT flip shelter, I would not reccomend their product. Thinner grade canvas, poor stitching and soft hinges mean a lot of repairs. I'm on my third season with the HT 2 man and I have spent a lot of time restitching seams and replacing pins every season. I would go for the Clam

Nice looking whities. You're making me drool.
