Holy smokes!!!! Bernier made it all the way through the 1st period without giving up a goal to the Kings!!!! Still 40 minutes left for him to implode though so don't fret Leafers!!!!

Australia's new campaign against the evil plant is pretty funny!!! LOL http://www.dailydot.com/lol/stoner-sloth-campaign-backfires/?fb=dd

I'm drinking some of my home brew right now.

Looks the same to me. Here's a pic I took yesterday. It looked the same 20 years ago!!!!

They were double clamp ones. They can't handle the stress of a T60 Flatfish over long periods of use. Especially if you're pounding bottom with them. FYI, I bought the Orca's and they are awesome holders!!!!

Portal ND border crossing. Poker Creek Alaska crossing.

I've crossed at couple of real redneck border crossings. Portal North Dakota is a good one. Poorly laid out and you really have no idea where you're going. You drive around a few buildings until you find a little gatehouse where the agent is. Poker Creek Alaska is a great little border crossing. There is a sign there that says POP. 2!!! One US guard and one Canadian. It's also the most Northerly border crossing in North America. When you go into the US they ask you if you would like your passport stamped. The stamp is quite big (about the size of a business card) and has a large image of a caribou and Poker Creek Alaska in it. The crossing @ Beaver Creek Yukon is more like a traditional crossing. The guards there on both sides are really good people. On year when I was pulling my camper to Alaska I had a rock kicked up by my tire bounce off the front of the trailer and smash my rear window about 5 miles from the US border. When I got to the border I asked the guard if they had any plastic and tape for the window I just broke. They hooked me up with garbage bags and tape as well as a garbage bin and broom to clean up. Didn't really ask me any questions other than where I was going, doing and how long.

When Mike & I went to Michigan last week the US border guy was a real chatterbox!!! When we told him where we were going he said that he goes there to fish often. We were there close to 5 minutes blabbing about fishing while there was a long lineup at the border.

Seems where ever I cross I get "Welcome home EH!!" And I'm gone.

I'm hoping they let private enterprise sell the stuff. I'll be the first to open a dispensary in Yellowknife. Would be a great way to pad the retirement nest egg in a hurry!!!!

Here's a few of my pics from the trip.

Looking forward to this weeks adventure Mike. It'll be about catching boat loads this week.

Except for the distinct lack of salty water to fish in.

T'was a good couple of days Mike. Nice to have the place to ourselves too. We'll have to get out again, on Thursday!!!! I have a few pics that I need to post up as well, but it will have to wait until later today.

Pump it up to spec when you get there. If air temp is colder than water temp you're good to go. If air temp is higher than water temp, put toon in lake for 5 mins then top up air pressure. You will be good for the day.

will do brother!!! It'll give me more room for the ride south. Leaving in a few minutes.

I guess you won't be needing mine then.

OK, I pulled a pile out of the herd!!! The Mitchell is missing the handle but you may be able to use one off the current worn out reels. Also one of the Shimano's is missing a spool but it can be used as a spare to the other 3 that are working. Three of the reels and the rod are as new. Should help out a bit I would think.

Yeah, Mississauga is an hour or so East of where I'm going to be. I'm sure there is someone that can step up for us. I will be in Southern Ontario until Jan 1 so I'm sure we can arrange something.

I will be coming to Southern Ontario next week. I will look through my selection of reels as I know I could probably let 1/2 dozen or so go. We can make arrangements to maybe meet in Mississauga as I will be doing some business there a couple of days.

I think you would be better off making your initial online report more of a teaser for the mag article. Then once the mag article comes out release a full online report linked from the mag article or ezine.
