You are sitting around talking about how times have changed and you realize that in about 40 years, we'll have millions of old ladies running around with tattoos and pierced navels? (Now that's scary!)

Dylan, thank you so much for your post, it does show that there is some hope even when things look the bleakest. I an sure your support both financially and moraly will mean a lot to Lauren and her family! Sam, thanks for the update, might not have beem the words I would have liked to hear but it does mean that I have six months to a year to have a prayer answered. I'll keep trying as long as she does!

Good things happen to good people!

I have cut, split, and sold wood for many years. You have a good deal there! As Terry said, have it delivered asap. stack it and let it dry. Ideally you want 6% moisture in your wood for best results and heat output.

Just too Funny!

Joyce, I am not a dealer or anything but I did a bit of looking on the internet and I think lookinforwalleye isn't too far off base here. Regardless, it is still a used package and I would think $3500.00 is probably in the right ball park. That would probably be my Max. on that package.

Fisherman: Always making the best of a bad situation! Got any insights for a badly bent marine railway? LOL irishfield: No there is the true mark of a man with a very high mechanical aptitude! Water didn't leak out = hull must be sound! Huey: your mission for next year (should you decide to accept it) is to warn everyone that is storing their boat outside to "remove the PLUG" Hope everything works out OK for you and there isn't too much damage.

What a very sad day this is that so many innocent lives should be lost for no apparent reason. That someone should be so sick in todays society that they could do something like this and no one saw it coming or did nothing about it really makes you wonder. I truly believe that when they took the strap out of school and stopped making kids accountable for their actions they started a trend that will cost many more lives before the pendulum swings the other way.

Really glad to here the report is a good one! get well soon!

Thanks for the report and pictures, I was wondering if there was any action over there yet but it's a long drive just to check it out.

If you are not sure what you are bidding on (quality/condition) ask the seller for clarification i.e. "is this inem in new/like new/or damaged condition. If they don't tell the truth then you can file a complaint with Ebay and you can also file a negitive rating against the seller. most of the "bad" deals I have seen on Ebay resulted in the buyer assuming something when all they had to do was ask for more information.

Just trying to pay if forward Craig! Besides, I can't sing, I can't dance, and I don't have any money. About the only thing I can do is help others when I get the chance. It's kind of a selfish thing though because it always makes me feel good!

It has taken a lot of work and many years to get there now I hope you'll relax and enjoy it! Beautiful!

MIG Welding was originally developed for welding aluminum and other non-ferrous materials in the 1940s. You just need the right wire and gas mixture (and a bit of experience LOL). My son has all three. TIG is most commonly used to weld thin sections of stainless steel and light metals such as aluminum, magnesium, and copper alloys, It could be used on aluminum boats and supports but it is a slower process and better suited to small, very thin sections. (besides, my son doesn't have a TIG welder LOL).

Dylan, thank you for taking the time to post, it sure sounds like you have been given more than your share to deal with. That you would take the time to try to help others in the midst of all the things going on in your life right now speaks volumes about your character! Sorry to hear about your Grandma, prayers for your son and your dad, may you all get through this and share many more years together! Please keep us posted and remember OFNr's are a family!

My son will be down here next weekend with this mig welder, If you care to haul it up to Lindsay I'm sure he'd weld it for you for free if you are willing to give us a hand with repairing my marine railway.

Oh, I forgot to mention: I duct tape a 3 1/2" # 4, 12 gauge to the front of my mechanical broad head bolts. I use a butter fly net to collect the feathers! Sometimes I get enough to make a "royal coachman"! fly . The most important thing about geting out turkey hunting, is to get out!

Had a lab and a canoe many years ago. he loved to hunt and we would often head back into the bull rushes to do a litle jump shooting. He would go right over the bow when he saw a duck fall, it was awesom! Only problem was he would always come back to the side of the canoe to try to get back in so it went like this: Duck would fly, I would shoot, dog would exit over the bow, I would head for the closest shore and hope I got there before the dog got back with the duck. Actually though, Lew's advice would probably work well in your case. Just give it a few trys in warm water with no other gear in the canoe.

Well, you are right about one thing, anything but a "cottage" on a small lot in the Kawarthas is going to cost you more that $125,000.00. The lot next door to us which is about 70' X 300' deep is valued at about $160,000.00 and the cottage on it is ready to be "rebuilt". There are smaller lots available with "cottages" on them that might be in your price range. We spent 4.5 years looking at everything from French River to Peterborough before deciding on this place. Good luck in your search!

Love or hate them, mechanical broadheads are custom-made for turkey hunting. There's no better way to get such impressive cutting diameters and accurate flight. It's no secret gobblers present small vital areas, complicated by their fidgety nature. They require pin-point shooting, and that's what mechanical heads are all about. If you do miss your mark slightly, wide cutting diameters give you an edge, swinging to cut something vital or creating such a devastating hole that a quick kill is assured. The average mechanical also transfers energy while opening, providing added shock to bowl over your target.

Oh Oh, you are getting old! Never mind, that is a good thing it's the alternative that you don't want to think about! Have a super day!

I would think it should be right around now, I doubt that you missed them. I wouldn't mind a nice feed of them myself.

Unless the house had a player involved Terry. I made over $10,000.00 playing Black Jack on line for real money (and got paid). I have played in tournments for nearly 25 years and would say I am an above average player, I've won my share. All of a sudden, I couldn't win a hand or at least nothing that mattered. Every time there was any real money on the line I would get excellent hands against dealer's bust hands but the dealer would always make the hand and I would loose. I quit playing before I lost it all back. If you want to play, go to a casino. Play against real people with real dealers, your odds will at least be real!

There are lots of good spots to fish in the Kawarthas and only an hour and a half to two hours from Brampton. There is always the Bronte Creek etc. down at the lake shore. It is really going to depend on what you want to fish for and what you hope to catch. For some nice pan fishing type excursions though I would suggest the Kawarthas. I can probably point you in the right direction for a few shore fishing spots. Send me a PM, tell me a bit more about what you are looking for and I'll see what I can do.

Give me a call, I live on Sturgeon Lake, fishing is good, there are a number of cottages for sale in the area. I don't know what the prices are but once I know more about what you want, I may be able to help you and NO, I am not a realestate agent but would suggest you eventually hook up with one in the area you decide to look. 705-328-0750 big cliff
