Good to hear you've found the right spot for the second half of life.

You're looking hale and sound Bruce. Nice little pike. Did you have to make the young lad swim for it though?

You know what they say about boys. If there is a crick or a mud puddle nearby, a boy will find his way into it

With all the erie tribs I hit saturday being chocolate milk I'm sure the big river will dirty for a couple days hoping they clear by the weekend only a couple weeks left till season closes I need some chromers.

If you look at the NOAA satellite images they show solid brown from L St Clair on down through tothe beginning of the Big O.

Thanks Kevin!!! It's a great game to play and not to hard to learn...

You gotta get him over to play. Sayyy, dunno, nickel a point

Throughout Niagara everything is a sea of brown. Found one spot where the water wasn't chocolate, but the fish weren't biting there either. One snotter for my troubles in the freezing rain.

Still beats sitting indoors.

Rob D. caught another goose egg. Seems that when his woman is out with us, she catches fish and he,... Does not.

It's a start

Starting a pool on when, next, my son is going through the ice or how long he'll last before his feet freeze It's all part of the experience.

Hard and cold?

2 CO's is but a drop in the bucket. Should have been 20. Too much money being wasted on pencil pushers and bureaucrats.

Retirement on a small secluded lake

I kind of enjoy watching the faces of semi-famous people having a good time.

Some bluegrass legend amongst them ruck and bobtail pickers. Can't believe he's still around.

The hell ya say. The best pan trays are the well used ones.

The older the better. I've still got a few of my Grams pans. No greasing required.

As a kid when we'd spend a Christmas at the cottage, after dad shoveled the roof, we'd toboggan off the roof onto the piles below!

My kid brother jumped off the roof thinking the snow would cushion the fall. It was messy

At the moment I'm partial to this

Or some TSO

We used to make wads of cash clearing off cottage roofs up in Haliburton, decades back, when fewer people were as eager to open their cottages in winter.

there's nothing neutral about paying more on purchases, and I don't give big business much faith in "passing" the savings down to us...most aren't known for being generous or fair.

 

trickle down economics only look good in textbooks.

For those of us old enough to remember.

Remember "metrification". the government promised that things would be simplified, and any change in volumes would be reflected in new pricing. We went from buying a quart, to a litre, which is .14 less, but paid the same.

Next lie. Wage and price controls in the 70's. During that recession, and runaway inflation, the government was going to apply the brakes evenly to stop the economy from stalling. The only controls were on wages. Prices kept on rising regardless of the consumers complaints.

Face it folks. Politicians were bought and paid for decades back, and don't care for the general public's best interest. Their interest is the best interest of those that bought them.

I'm sorry but, Durham region's goon mentality goes back a number of decades and was as well known as the Cherry Beach express. Nothing has changed.

Like the carton. Good pair of articles on winter perching.

this thread is full of anger of this, yet why is it that the natives and the ndp are the only ones actually doing something about it...(and I know for a fact very few of your are native or ndp)...

 

i even saw someone first complain about hst, then in the next breath complain that the natives had blocked the highway over it!

 

DO SOMETHING!

 

and I say thing in every political thread but "remember this come election time and vote responsibly"

Support your local underground economy and save yourself some money. Deprive the government of those dollars whenever possible.

BAH HUMBUG!!!!!!!

 

 

I'll see your "Humbug", and raise you a "God Bless You"

Time to enjoy, and share, the good things we have and forget about the nastiness around us for a couple of weeks.

Santa has been busy in the kitchen.

Have a cookie on me. (you're on yer own fer the rum and nog)

Still have to find me a fish cookie cutter.

I found me a couple of new honey holes. I also learnt how bad old bait smells when left in the back of the van for a few weeks. The bag of smelts was liquified by the time I found them

I don't think red is a great 'morning after' colour

Glad you got fast action on the boat Corv 1. You had a good boat and the folks here are serious and, to my knowledge, pretty honest.

If they don't get enough out of the consumer this time, they'll just start taxing groceries next. Either way the consumer bleeds.
