Oh man you missed a GREAT summer in Southern Ontario!!!! Hot, humid, hotter, humid, traffic, thunder, no rain, humid, dead lawn, traffic = morons, hotter than before, smog.

shoulda been here!! 

Yeah but did your boat sink?  ?

Been a rough week.
Bilge pump float switch stuck and killed the battery, storm then sunk the boat.
Water in the fuel meant a tow back to the dock at the end of it all.
Then the truck battery was dead.  ?

A few pics from the week.

Front done.

Scaffolding set up on North wall.

UH OH!!   ?

North wall done.

The ride home.  ?

I was pulling into a Hortons in Simcoe the other day and a lowered Jhet black tricked out Chrysler 300 pulls in beside me, bling chromed 20" wheels, 400 watt stereo booming Hip Hop. Out comes 4 young Mennonites. Or 4 hip hopsters dressed as Mennonites.

IT's the MENNONITE MAFIA!!!!!  ???

Caught my first muskie in Little Bald.

I got a way around hitting those rocks.

No problem!! 

Say hello to my little friend!!!  ?

-Krattor thanks for the heads up, another source. Thanks. 

-Lape0019, it is the piece that keeps it stowed when in motion. I haven't thought of the Ram mount idea that's something I'll look into. I tried a mount from a buddy's ATV and it still hasn't me worried, but I will look into the Ram mounts. Thanks.

Yeah, one of these would hold it in place.

Hope it's nowhere near as bad as it was here in 2014.

The only road South was closed for long stretches due to smoke and fires near the road.

At one point a dozer crew had to run for their lives when the fire front came blasting through at 40+ MPH.

It was so hot it melted the asphalt where it crossed the road.

When it finally rained this is what fell from the sky.

some of the footage of the water bombers sweeping in on the henvey inlet is crazy, the pilots of those planes are friggin next level.

A crew of our bombers from the NWT are working down in Ontario now.

Been a very wet year up here and very few fires so far.

If you can get a hold of a PD V1 co-pilot you can ditch the pedal.

I have a brand new pedal that barely gets used because I'm always using the remote.

I mostly fished the access points below 2nd line on Wellington Rd. 18.

Also fished the water below the gorge on 21. The upper stuff was my fave though.

5wt is plenty.

I use Hanson closed end blind rivets Stainless mandrel/ Stainless head.

Much stronger than aluminium and no rust. I dip them in marine sealant before installing so I get a perfect seal.

They also have the aluminium mandrel/aluminium head rivets you were asking about Hack.

As well as stainless mandrel/aluminium head.

Lots of drivers put dash cams in their trucks to help protect themselves when car drivers screw up and cut them off or cause accidents.

Search for Wels Catfish Tackle.

$25 for walleye dinner $70 with tip(I tip well) for my son and I with a ginger ale and a water to drink. Not complaining, I'm a truck driver and understand the logistics of getting food, power, staff etc to an island and the extra costs involved. If I couldn't afford it i wouldn't have eaten there ?  spent a summer on James Bay in the 80's, that was an expensive place $25 for a case of coke at the Hudsons Bay....

 

Yeah, that's actually pretty reasonable.

We have a good fish joint here in Yellowknife and it costs me about $35 for lunch and $55 for dinner.

So about 30% more than there. But the fish is awesome as are the home made buns.

Stopped in for dinner on my camping trip last weekend. Pricey but delicious!!

What do you consider pricey?

I don't know what to think about the ridiculously low bail amount  the fellow is out on.

Just $1,000.

I would think it would be a bit higher considering all the lives ruined.

I sure hope this doesn't turn out like that case of the child molester at the West Edmonton Mall wave pool. ?

Citywide Welding in Mississauga does lower units as well as props.

They should be able to fix that up for you.

So Toronto ended up with a goalie, 2 wingers, 2 centers and 4 defense men.
