bigugli

If they weren't loud, and extremely opinionated, they wouldn't really be rednecks, now would they. They won't keep Phil off the air too long. They have this thing in their constitution called the right of free speech.

You have a number of independent makers of custom tackle right here on OFC. Custom makers of rods, flies, streamers, harnesses, spinners, musky baits,..... It all depends on what you are looking for.

hwy 9 (or 109 if you prefer) between orangeville and arthur has been a daily mess so far this winter. i think because of it's relative flatness and being a straight shot some people get lulled into a false sense of security and drive waaay to fast for the conditions. we get some big drifts because there's nothing to stop the wind from blowing across the fields and patches of ice are all too common.

 

i wondered why my ins. rate actually went up when i moved here last summer and now i see why!!

That flat stretch has been a mess as far back as I remember. They used to close it at least once a month in winter. I've spent enough winter nights in Arthur back when the town was still a "dry" Methodist community. The kid brother's in-laws were pastors at the United Church. Had to keep our beer hidden in the trunk of the car lest there be recriminations.

the bigugli starts cooking like a fanatic. Spent the entire morning baking up a mountain of cookies for the season.

Even got a mold for fish cookies this year.

Next will be the bread in a few days time.

Had a boring day ice fishing for jumbos

I'm getting very good at spotting the accidents looking for a place to happen. Must have been a good dozen in the ditches lining the QEW from Grimsby to St Kitts Sunday morning, and a few more this morning.

The ones doing 140k when they hit the grease patch. The guys riding the brakes in the snow. Braking while changing lanes on the highway. Especially love the fools playing chicken with a loaded rig.

Every Christmas I have to indulge in hour after hour of this

 

 

 

what no one else coming to get together

There seems to be a number of names that rarely pop up any more from the area.

I hope you and your family will get you Christmas wish

Works for me.

Been so preoccupied, of late, that the thought never occurred to me

I think Misfish got us going on these a couple years back. They are funny.

I have a yellow lab that I swear is one chromosome away from being a seagull. Opening our frig door is like throwing French fries in a McDonalds parking lot.

 

That perch looks awesome!

Casey is not much better. Crack open the jar of peanut butter and watch him charge into the kitchen

Good old navy issue longjohns. May be cotton, but they keep me toasty. The weave keeps them from clinging to the body

Initially, I did the "harvesting" out of sight of my kids. My wife is also very squeamish on the subject. At an early age it's OK to let a child know, after dinner, the fish they caught were what they had for supper. Let them know they are going out to catch some supper. At 4 my son was having his first whacks on the fish's head. Kids have a natural curiosity to see what is going on. Gutting a fish becomes a science class in dissection

It's about time those over-paid under-worked spoiled brats lose their jobs

Which ones? The Canada Post executives, or thee politicians???

Actually cooking with lard sounds real good; http://www.foodandwine.com/articles/lard-the-new-health-food

Like I said, I have not "bought" lard in over 30 years. Anything hydrogenated tends to be a bad choice.

 

Does not mean I don't save my bacon drippings to mix in with my frying oil

Everybody squawks about Canpost rates. Why? Without CP look at what you will pay through CanPar, FedEx, Purolator.

Small parcel anywhere in Ontario $8 with Canpost. FedEx charges $14 to the next town 15km away. Is FedEx or Purolator going to deliver a letter for $1??? Privatization just means certain fat cats get fatter at the public's expense

Who ever said "dumb animals" never owned a dog LOL.

I forgot, you've met my son

Is that lard?! Cause if it is... your healthy diet is a little off the mark.. j/k

Strictly oil. Haven't bought lard in nearly 30 years

Left front burner. 8 inch pan.

 

Ok, now Im hungry. Wheres the canned sliced taters and salsa?

10" pan

Taters were already fried and in the oven

Yup, a little bit of sulpher, charcoal, and saltpeter; put a big black spot on the celing in my bedroom and filled my bedroom with smoke LOL. Mom wasn't impressed!

 

Learned how to make rockets, smoke bombs, a little canon that would fire a marble farther than you could see it not to mention a bunch of very nasty smelling things that I some how produced. Now I remember why I never gave my kids a chemestry set LOL.

I lit off a concoction once in the bathroom. One blue flash and shattered the small sink. Boy was I in deep doodoo when mother got home. No more chemistry set. I had all but buried that awkward memory until I read this.

They know you're an easy mark.

Yuup! I also know that a regular diet of real fish and meat will make for long healthy lives

Whenever I warm up my frying pan I get the staredown.

Casey and Baxter(the son's dog) are fed better than the Queen. The 2 have good taste too!

Nothing like a perch dinner to keep us healthy..

 

 

At -35 the handle bars froze off the MWO's moustache .

Colder than -40 and your spit freezes in mid air before hitting the ground. You hear it pop.

At -50 exposed skin will suffer from frostbite in 2 minutes

 

This was learnt from a week's arctic orientation up on Hudson's Bay
