They refused to deliver a 35 lb package to me because the lady that delivers our mail said she couldn't lift it. It took a couple of phone calls but they finally agreed to find someone that could, took them 5 days though.

I had one here that I fed all winter, only saw it a few times but I filled the bowl every evening and it was empty in the morning, saddly a fox or owl got it just before the last of the snow went. Glad to see yours had such a good outcome 😊

I am so very sorry for your loss, it's hard enough to see someone we love leave us but when you can't even say a proper goodby.... well there are no words that can ease the pain. My heart goes out to you and the rest of the family!

If you are thinking of buying an LG product be careful! I bought a 50" LG TV Mod. 50UH5500 just over 4 years ago. Almost $800.00 but I wanted a good tv. Sunday it just quit working. I went on line and found that particular modle had a well doccumented failure at just short of 5 years and it can't be repaired. I spent a lot of time on the phone and emailing LG about the problem and I just got a call from them which basically said sorry for your luck, it was almost 5 years old so too bad, best we'll do is offer you 15% off a new set. I realize things don't last forever but the fact that LG is now selling disposable products means I will be choosing my next purchases more carefully and LG will be my last choice. If this had been some "no name" tv I might have expected the failure but I always thought LG was better than that.

Sorry, the sarcasm went right over my head, I am not use to that from you! So, would you feel better if a 75 year old who lives alone stayed in his own house alone when he could be out in the bush with no interaction with anyone else? My motor coach has 1000 km range. The fuel tank is full, I don't even have to stop for fuel. I have enough food here to last me for 2-3 months and the ability to take that with me so I don't even have to go into town for supplies. My property there is fully serviced, water, septic, hydro. I have already given up so much in the intrest of doing my part, Christmas, my son's 50th birthday, the birth of a great grandaughter. If you can give me one valid reason why my isolating there where I can fish and hunt without having to contact anyone else is going to put anyone at risk then I will consider it.

I smoked them about 5 hours using 3 pans of wood chips, this time i used hickory, last time I used alder, I think I like the hickory better.

165 * and cooled for 1/2 hr. Juicy, full of flavor, and ready for dinner. Second larger piece almost ready 😊

Wow, I wish I could do stuff like that, I am struggling to tie bucktails. Beautiful work🤗

That's going to be really tough, our campground just said they are probably not going to open for transits this year, even services for seasional sites are going to be at a reduced rate, that is going to put a lot of pressure on any other spaces that might have been available. There might be some opportunities, I have one in mind but won't discuss it openly, pm me and we can talk about it.

If a cop does stop you and give you a ticket, don't blame the cop, they are only doing his/her job. Blame the people that have put him/her in the position where they have to do it. Blame the idiots that have made this necessary!

Congratulations on getting your AZ, I know what a challange it is and now the fun really starts. Started driving trucks at 15 on a twin stick Mack 😊, I finally gave it up five years ago when Sue got sick and Young and Eglington construction sites were not what I wanted to do anymore. I do still miss it though but not the long days or idiots. Stay safe both on the road and off !

I'm not sure it's Ford going too far; I live in a community of about 140 units. A neighbour (retired cop and should know better) just got home from Florida, got in the car with his son and went into town. Later had a bunch of friends stop by for a beer then the son took off to see a couple of buddies. I have missed so many family firsts because I don't want to take a chance that I might be part of the problem then I watch idiots doing crap like this. 😡

So the last time I smoked a whole brisket I didn't trim the fat and I found that I had a lot of grease when I took it out of the foil. This tome I decided to remove some of the fat and render it down. Now if you have ever had scrunchions you know how wonderful they are, well this is what I ended up with. Now I am going to make a big pot of baked beans but instead of pork I am going to use some of this. 😊

Well 15lbs of brisket and two lbs of salmon just went into the smoker now the waiting begins 😊

I live alone, have been tested several times for covid because of medical appointments, always negitive. I have a piece of property in French River, fully serviced lot and a motor coach. I can literly leave here not have to interact with anyone and stay there for the whole summer without having to go into town but under the current guidelines I am not alowed to do that. I might just risk the fine because at my age who knows how many more summers I might have.

You mentione they are in Quebec, is it possible they were closed because of the shutdowns?

Sobeys has whole beef brisket $4.00/LB, not the best price I have seen it but still pretty good. Iam going to grab one tomorrow. Anyone in Lindsay want one let me know, I'll grab one for you. Time to get the smoker going again 😊

Thank you!!!! I really appreciate the feedback.

I have to admit I am totally confused, for every study/report there seems to be another one that contridicts the results of the previous one. I feel there is so much that is unknown: Do people that have been infected have some degree of immunity? Should people that have been infected get the vaccine, one dose, two doses? (One report I heard suggested that people previously infected shouldn't get a second dose of the vaccine, something about a rebound effect?). Why isn't the antibody test readily accessible? Why can a person go to a nursing home, get tested and have the results in 15 minutes but when I have a medical apointment i have to wait up to 4 days for results? If a person has been infected with one form of the virus do they have any resistance to varients? So many questions and so many so called "experts" disagreeing with each other. The fear of the unknown scares me more than anything else.

And to you and your family too my friend

Beautiful

So I woke up and my dog is laying on the back patio covered in dirt with a rabbit in his mouth. The rabbit's not bloody, just dirty. My neighbor's kids raise blue ribbon rabbits. I instantly knew it was one of theirs. 😢 I took the rabbit away from my dog, rushed inside, and washed all the dirt off it before my neighbors could come home. It was stiff but I heard some animals play dead when they are afraid but I couldn't remember which ones. I took it and placed it back in one of the cages in their back yard then I ZOOMED back home. (Don't judge me 😒) Not 30 minutes later I hear my neighbors screaming so I go out and ask them what's wrong? They tell me their rabbit died three days ago and they buried it but now it's back in the cage. 😳

Bingo halls open and people lining up for 3 to 4 hours to get in, drive through the Lindsay bingo hall parking lot and 75% of the license plate frames are from out of town. Go to the Lindsay Mall, again it's obvious many cars are from hot zones. Our license testing center, most of the people there are driving driver training cars that aren't local. What's the point of putting restrictions in place if they aren't going to be followed or enforced.

Thanks Geoff, really appreciate the effort, there seems to be quite a few places that sound promissing but that one color in that particular style is elusive

Thanks, I realize that smaller local shops can't carry everything but I would have thought that the manufacturer could give me the name (s) of some Canadian distributors, I did provide my full name and address.
