My health!!!
COVID has completely ruined my life. I fully expect to die much sooner than I would have I I had not got the virus. It's been 17 months since I first got sick and I'm not really much better health wise. Still have shortness of breath, dizzy spells, headaches, brain fog amongst a host of other problems. 1/2 my coffee table is covered with medicine bottles to help combat my myriad of health issues because of COVID. 🤬

While my favorite team was choking yet again I moseyed into the kitchen for a glass of milk and saw my little buddy that lives at the bottom of my driveway was out and about so I grabbed my camera and shot a few pics.
He/she is certainly relaxed with me around.

@DRIFTER_016 Nice rig. Is that an 18ft? That motor looks huge on the back lol......Wrong colour for me, but I bet it goes good! The old starcrafts are great boats. Mine is solid. I replaced a bunch of rivets that were starting to show wear on the transom brace, but otherwise, she was good to go.

16 foot with a 90 on the back.

Nice job Sinker.
I fixed up an old Starcraft my buddy bought 4 or 5 years ago. It was just the boat on a trailer, no motor. The previous owner had done some work on it but I fixed up the dash, replaced electrical, installed new motor and controls, smart tabs, transom saver, fuel tank etc as well as extending the trailer tongue, replacing all hardware, bunks and paint and installed guide on's and spare tire/holder as well as boat buckles. Turned out mint.
The previous owner redid the interior and the funky red camo paint job.
We liked it, so left it the way it was.

Time to hide some game cams in the area.
At least the repairs will be fairly easy.
Be different if they went ape with an axe on them.

Can someone post what this is about? It doesn’t open for me
It's a bunch of tin boats stored at the landing on the lake.
Someone with a battery drill and what looks to be a 2 1/2" hole saw drilled a hole in the bottom of each one of the dozen plus boats stored there.

Pull prop, take to Citywide Propeller Repair on Drew Road in Mississauga for repair, reinstall prop, go boating.
You could also put a new prop on, get this one repaired and have a spare. I have 4 props for my boat.

Very cool, will you keep it at the cabin Dave?
NAH, I want to have fun with it year round.
Will keep it there once I move there full time when I retire.

I find it incredibly distracting and it makes it harder for me to read the page.

On October 30th 2010 I brought my new 50" Panasonic Plasma TV home from the store.
It was the last one they had and was the floor model.
It's got many 1,000's of hours on it and is my living room TV at the house.
It gets lots of use every day and is still going strong 10 1/2 years later.

It was taken at his retirement home in London Ontario. The retirement home used to be a monastery.

Newest lens' are EF 70-200 F4L, EF100-400 F45.-5.6 L , 24-105 F4 L and EFS 17-55 F2.8

I actually got lucky enough to see the place in person a year and a half ago. Cleaned lake trout on the dock.
The ones we caught out front 🙂
It is way more amazing in person than on here. Unbelievable what he has done and where on his own.
What paneling did you get. Can't wait to see it
Bought through my local lumber place.
This is the stuff in Texas Honey Brown.

I felt like I was beaten like a rented mule when I was done.
Still not fully recovered.

I'm fully vaccinated since late Feb. After the first shot I felt better for a bit but the symptoms returned before my second shot. Second shot made no difference. Unfortunately I believe some of the damage COVID did to my body will never heal.
