Yes the Disney excursions are great. All the gear and bait is provided. you have 3 potential areas you can choose from. In winter, shiner fishing is the preferred method. Lots of bass.

To this day the men and women of our Canadian Forces are taught to put their emotions away into little imaginary boxes and carry on. I fear the day that my brother actually starts to "open" his, and relives the accounts of all his buddies that he buried in "recent" times. Just can't imagine how many of these "boxes" some of the WWII guys carry on their shoulders.

 

Never forget!

The boxes just have a habit of opening from time to time. Uncle Bob survived 5 years servicing the guns and being gassed in the Great War. He would never go near the cenotaph and could not step into a legion. He never saw me in uniform. I was told it was too much of a strain for him.

Don't have a right to complain if you don't participate in the process. Personally, all the regs, studies, red tape, and meetings, mean nothing as long as enforcement is inadequate.

So how many people can this planet sustain?

 

What will everybody eat, each other?

"Soylent Green"

With all that has been going on i almost forgot. Crappieperchhunter was so gracious, as always, to put up with me and the son for a couple of perch outings out on Simcoe. TO say the least, we had a blast. On the first outing, we had nice weather,and the fish were on fire. one of my best days of perchin in a few years.

The second outing we tagged up with BigCliff. Not the nicest weather, and the perch certainly kept getting smaller as the day got colder. However, the company more than made up for the lack of stellar results.

As always,Steve, it's great to get together with you and Cliff. Thanks.

P.S. I'm still nudging Rob in the hopes of getting him to relocate in the Kawarthas.

This was not what I expected to read, after you had told us about Sue's impending surgery. You have nothing to apologize for. You are a far better man than too many I have known.

You just focus on that family of yours. Anything you need help with, you just call.

It's why I have the warmest shack on the ice LOL

Wow!! The things i missed being offline for a month.

I am glad to hear that the cancer was detected early, and that the procedure went well. You and your Mrs have our prayers.

For those Christians who feel slighted or offended by our secular school boards, there are alternatives. Catholic schools and other denominational schools might just be one way to help preserve and reinforce your Christian values and traditions

The google ad banners at the top of the page really slow things up for the MAC I'm on

However one looks at it, immigration is necessary. We have thousands of migrant foreign labourers on our farms doing the work that born and raised Canadians refuse to do. There are a lot of menial jobs that our native sons refuse to do in many industries. At least the majority of immigrants understand the idea of earning one's keep. Far too many youth in this country have this sense of "entitlement", that the nation has to look after them.

The failing birth rate is an easy fix. Just do like Duplessis in the 50's. Reward mothers for bearing 3 or more children. I know! I know! Easier said than done.

Jingle bells, Jingle bells,....

Let them know they are about to get a lot of negative publicity attached to their names, through a forum with over 10,000 members. Then you can let us all know the name of this wonderful business.

I do, I also remember the costume parade around the block for all the students, and Christmas carols at the Christmas concert..Go figure

We also had caroling in the main auditorium every morning in high school

I also remember my parents and grandparents taking me to the cenotaph every Remembrance Day as a child. When my kids were in school, they were led out to the local cenotaph by their teachers, or by myself, on the 11th.

Glad you fellas enjoyed the goodies.

Cliff, the freezer jam was great. Good stuff don't last long around here.

The MAC sure is different. So far it does not like photobucket, and it does not like gmail.

Been a while. Somebody fired the puter reel good with a particularly nasty virus. Completely scrambled Windows to boot. The machine is still in the shop. Currently borrowing an older MAC. Gonna take a bit of getting used to.

Have been too busy to worry about the puter for the past while with harvesting and canning. Had 2 good fish outings with good friends CPH and BigCliff. The first outing was a catching clinic. last weekend was tough conditions and a lot of dinks. Regardless, its always a good time when we get together.

There are always people out there looking for a free ride at the expense of others. Enforcement to protect us is a joke. If you decide to defend yourself and your possessions you get crucified by those same organizations that are supposed to protect you.

I have had people try to break in, but they have had little luck, so far. We did have a meat thief some 10 years back. They broke into our workshop where we had one of our freezers. I certainly do not make it easy for them. Noisy dogs are also a good deterrent.

Sounds like you had a great time out

I figure if I hit 1000 different bodies of water, in my lifetime, that I'm doing good. So far I'm halfway there.

We be jamming dis morning mon.

I 'm halfway to done for the season.

There is always, at least, one grounding/ impact a year on the Great Lakes. Not a bad average considering the volume of traffic per year.

And so, another Elmer Fudd is born.

Well into another canning session. Half way to done.

That is good news

Sadly, people kill muskie thinking they are helping walleye populations. Another group kills pike to protect the muskie population. There is another type of creature that kils carp because they destroy bass and pike habitat. They are all idiots.
