There used to be huge pigs at Ontario Placer back in the 70's. I was a cook back when HMCS Haida was a cadet training facility. You should have seen the size of the carp rising to eat the leftover toast every morning. We caught a couple of 4 footers on bread balls hanging off the ship's side when we dumped the toast.

We all are getting old!

So sorry to hear Beans. We become so attached to our friends. They are our family, and no matter how right it was to put your pet down, it still hurts real bad.

Just have to ask. I still have some mild and the hotter stuff around. Probably making a medium batch next week.

Man I am feeling kinda old at the moment. I can still remember going out to get my 45 of Space Oddity at the Towers record counter.

First Saturday in April. Was a little crazy in the house yesterday. LOL!

Nothing more precious than a new member of the family.

First weekend in Saturday, I think??? Haven't rec'd the info yet.

16 years come this May, and I have not missed it for a moment.

Was great to get out and see everyone. And, yes, I am very attached to my family. After all, my son is my bestest fishin bud.

What's there to think about!!!!! On my bucket list since I was a boy watching Red Fisher on TV.

I sure hope you will get better soon my friend.

Already gone through 2 jars of elderberry brandy

I don't have any on hand at the moment. I've ordered a heavier ball jig mold, but it is on back order. Should have some by the time the swap rolls by. I have some OhMy! and some "plain nasty" available. Pick your poison.

If my chest can clear we will be there. Picked up pneumonia over the holidays

I have reached the point that I can only handle about 2 hours of TV drivel a week. I could gladly cancel my TV service without any loss. Only problem is that the Mrs loves mindless drivel.

Yep. My game is to pick a stretch of river and walk and cast. Some days are good, others are a bust. There is just sooo much public accessible shoreline

Do not give up the ship. The Mrs is still doing fine since treatment completed over 2 years back. The brother-in-law is still hanging in despite a number of inoperable tumors. He has now gone 2 Christmases longer than expected. thanks to PMH.

The whole Grand system is neat. I've caught pike in the Speed, Eramosa and Conestogo. I've also caught pike in the Grand at Byng, Cayuga, downtown Cambridge

Happy New Year

Love gnocchi and polenta. My family won't touch the stuff.. Only problem with polenta for me is that I get bunged up for days after eating it.

As we say in our house Glaedelig Jul or Hyyvaa Joulua

The bird is in the oven, roasting ever so slowly in anticipation of a house full of children for dinner this evening.

The sounds of non stop Christmas music

Won't be making it this year Kelvin. Lots of family to contend with from the 24th to the 28th. Then there's those precious little grandbabies to oooh and aaah over.
