Don't forget the cost of extras such as relays and bypass modules.

NEVER!!! I use them up here.

I still have a bunch of Fenglass sticks. A musky rod and a pile of rigger sticks with the twist wrap.

I'm willing to bet Matthews will be closer to 13. ?

Until I got my current job I had never had medical benefits. Or really any benefits at all. Now I have a job with medical, dental and prescription coverage and most important a pension!!!! I lived for the day my entire life and never saved a penny. The pension offered from my employer will actually allow me to retire. Just wish I found the position 10 years earlier as I would be able to retire with a full pension, but I can live quite comfortably on the amount I will earn from it. Especially when combined with CPP & OAS. For most of my working life I found it more important to have a job I could take leave from to head to the Arctic to guide for 2 months a year. Being happy and chasing fish was more important the the all mighty dollar. Foolish, maybe but I have enjoyed my life and when all is said and done I won't be saying I wish I had done this or done that. Because I did them.

He is using a double UNI knot.

Yup!!! Even better if you use an FG knot as it's more streamline and doesn't catch on the guides. Especially when using heavier leaders.

Every time I'm forced to watch a NESN broadcast this is all I hear.

The artist wrote this tune and made the video as an April fools joke this year. He did a fantastic job on the video using a program called Unreal Engine which is a software suite for creating games. The tune is currently charting on Billboards dance charts. Not bad for something that was done as a joke.

Saw today that one of the local suppliers to GM located in Ajax said it's closing it's door now. There will be many more to come I'm sure.

There are Polar bears in Ontario too.

It's the companies way of doing things. Their commitment to quality. My current Honda which is now 13 1/2 years old was built in Alliston. These Japanese vehicles are built in NA to Japanese standards which seem to be higher than NA vehicle manufacturers.

I have been driving Honda's for over 25 years now. They have all been good vehicles. And mostly better than the NA vehicles I've owned. For my next vehicle I plan to get a Toyota Tundra. Which are built along with the Tacoma's in Texas. ?

Some good news on the job front. Not exactly the Shwa but it's in the province at least. https://lfpress.com/news/local-news/london-lands-660-million-plant-that-will-bring-1500-jobs?fbclid=IwAR1fSSaA63ZqMwuu5mNZFa4xxN1arSZLbYFG2xf069Jck01hW-V4hiknXJo

The one I want is only $60K or so. ? Will be purchasing a new PU in late 2021 or early 2022 so it's all paid off when I retire in early 2027.

Thank our fearless leader in Ottawa for this. Won't be the last I'm afraid.

Well that escalated quickly. Guess I won't be displaying this jacket in my man cave. ?

The baby blue jackets are awesome!!!! Brings back memories of my youth.

I'm cheap, so I buy my covers off Ebay. Only issue is the length of time they take to get here. I park inside a portable garage so they just need to keep the dust out of my boat and as such I don't need a high quality cover. The last one I bought lasted me 10 years before finally getting destroyed when I used it to cover my hovercraft for the ride back from Wisconsin last spring. Currently have a super cheap $50 one keeping the dust out.

It was a beautiful thing it was. ?

Probably gonna change in the next hour if the Flyers don't pick up the pace so I'll just drop this here now.
