DRIFTER_016

Got out to the cabin and pulled the dock today. Got a couple of hours fishing in. Only a couple of pike were caught. Hopefully I can get out and do some fishing next weekend. Could go either way as the water @ the launch ramp is down to 35*F already. Saw water as warm as 41* out on the lake.

Leafs are still scoring a few goals here and there. ?? The redwings were holding their own until the buds decided to giver'!!!! ?

LOL, I used to coach peewee in Grand Valley. Still have my Twisters jersey. ?

I stopped fishing the fall salmon runs back in the early 90's. Got sick of the crowds and Bull. Spent my time chasing steel when it got too cold for the rubes.

Was a decent weekend out at the cabin. Temps were in the high 40's F but it was super windy. South winds gusting over 30 MPH sucked. Especially when I had to head home today. The lake was quite sporty with 3-5 footers spaced very closely. Reminded me of my days fishing on Lake Erie. Got the back done......... almost. ? The rest is going to have to wait until spring unless things change. After Tuesday it's going to be cold for the foreseeable future. I wouldn't be surprised to see the launch bay lock up before Thanksgiving. I also got my tiles set. Just need to grout them and we're good.

Seems the only thing that likes Ottawa is F3 tornadoes. ?

I think this proves how dysfunctional that team is. https://www.bardown.com/erik-karlsson-revealed-the-last-time-he-spoke-with-eugene-melnyk-and-it-will-probably-surprise-you-1.1176943

Yup!!! Lucan could use a team!!!! ???

And the old age home in Sweden wouldn't let Alfie out to play!!! ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

I was surprised that they actually all fit on the benches. I thought it looked like they were playing on a postage stamp. ? I don't remember the rinks I frequented being that small but I guess they were. ?

WOW!!! Nice bass!!!! ?

Nice evening on the boat ride out to the cabin. Not!!! Didn't get much done was too cold to do anything. Had my 60,000 BTU propane heater on full most of Saturday and got the tiles for my hearth cut. That's all. Came home early Sunday to try and warm up some.

Was snowing pretty good on the ride up the lake to the cabin today. ❄️ ❄️ ❄️

It's that time of year again!!! First televised game is next Tuesday on Sportsnet. https://www.nhl.com/mapleleafs/news/maple-leafs-announce-2018-19-radio-and-television-broadcast-schedule/c-300079044 file.pdf

Made it up to the loft window this weekend. ?

THAT'S RIGHT!!!! SNOW!!!!

Snow on the deck at my place in town yesterday morning. ?

Fun like a root canal!!! ?

Didn't break 70 this summer. Pretty sure 68 was the warmest I saw.

Said nope to the crappy weather and went home early!!! Was 32* F at the boat launch when I got there around 9:30 this morning. Was gusting 40 MPH out of the North too. ? Managed to stuff the nose of the boat into the back of an over-sized wave on the way back to the dock to top things off. The dog was unimpressed with being hosed by a wall of 54* F water. I wasn't thrilled either!!! ? So it rained from the time I got there on Friday until just about dinner time on Saturday so I spent the day making window trim and a few pieces for the area under the deck. Was hoping to get to the top of the bottom window today but was too cold for that. The boat runs great though after the work I had to do on it last weekend. ?

Bought myself a slow cooker earlier this summer and finally got a chance to fire it up today. Just finished a really yummy bowl of beef stew. ?
