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.

I've got the same wooden craw (2nd pic) sitting in a shadow box beside my Mitchell and old Heddon reels.

$54 a bushel!!!!! Talk about robbery! #1 grade pickling cukes run for $35-40 a bushel at most farmers markets. I do buy in my cukes simply because it is easier for me. Else I would need 200 plants to meet my needs. As it is, I have a 1/4 acre planted to specialty peppers, tomatoes, tomatillo, squash, berries, dill and garlic.

This week's installment. The salsa might help keep your colon clean. As usual, I forgot to put gloves on while I was prepping the habaneros and jalapenos. I quickly realized the consequences, later , in the shower.

Right now, just about every ministry in Ontario is on a ticket blitz. Must be trying to find additional funds for the Wynne Wishlist, or the $20 billion transit plan. There have been 4 different provincial agencies blitzing the St Jakobs market this past month.

I use to swing a 15lb maul for years splitting upward of 40 cord a year. On a bad day, and in a bad mood, I could snap 3 wooden handles in a morning. Wife bought me an axe with the "indestructible" fiberglass handle. It lasted a week before the handle started to crack inside the head and the head began to slip

Don't you worry none. The grocery wagon will be loaded when we gets together.

Usually a 3 hour limit for a one day outing.

I did the long commute Toronto to Beamsville for enough years. Found it was easier to drop the job, than commute. 3 hours of time I could be spending with my kids. Cars falling apart after 3 years of 50,000 km per year. $500 a month in daycare costs chopped. Less stress...... After the move I was earning half the Toronto wage, working 20% fewer hours, but had more left over in the bank at the end of the month.

About 30 years back, 83 I think, we had a similar crap summer. Cold and wet August. Wet snow and freezing rain the 2nd weekend of the month

A man of your quality deserves some fair turnabout for all the good you do in this world.

So far so good. No return signs of cancer at the moment. The second mastectomy just reduces the risk even more by another 30%.

Today's 12 hour canning marathon. Pickles, relish, jam.

Dead Poets Society completely changed the way I looked at Robin. "Oh Captain! My Captain!"

Tonic water will also help with muscle cramping by upping your fluids and the low dose of quinny found in it. Just have to find a way around the bitter taste. OH, that's what the gin is for.

This just plain SUCKS!. I loved his off the wall antics, his rants and his intellectual humour. He was also a very talented actor beyond his comedies. All I can say..... "Oh Captain! My Captain!"......

Every year is a process from June to December. This week we have Dills.

Not as long as the wife is undergoing surgeries and treatments

My uncle's place was just down the old highway in Oyster Pond. Bring a sturdy medium action rod. Beyond that stop at a local shop for what's on this time of year. You need salt water tackle. Wash out your reel often. I've had a lot of fun jigging squid off the Govt dock. Need a specialized jig. Lots of groundfish to be caught inshore. There are also some decent bass lakes in the area.
