  1. Please do. Thanks beans!
  2. Thank you my friend, I really appreciate it!
  3. Hopefully we can get some of those pictures re-posted, the one of Beans, Roy, Lew and myself on our deck out at Sturgeon lake brought back a lot of wonderful memories.
  4. Check this one out, it's a very clean lake My son and I have had some good success here
  5. The Bahamas got it really bad but Bermuda took a pretty good hit too from what I understand, trees down, roofs blown off, flooding. It may be fine now but I think I'd want to be sure before I planned a trip there this soon.
  6. Sorry I can't help you with the fishing there (but I'd love to go). Wouldn't the recent devastation there be cause for concern? I would be a bit worried about the availability of facilities at least until they have had a chance to rebuild.
  7. I'm not sure what you mean by this , are you implying that people that live in trailers are ignorant racists? Oh, and just so you know " Although Sportsnet desperately attempted to limit the damage, the vast majority of reactions to their post was negative. In the statement’s comment section, Thousands of tempestuous hockey fanatics (some of whom would’ve grown up with Cherry), made their feelings known!
  8. Don Cherry
  9. I wish I had been the one to write that, unfortunately I just copied and pasted it from Facebook.
  10. "You People" "The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him." -G.K. Chesterton Hundreds of thousands of Canadian soldiers have given their lives in the last century for "you people" to live in this great country. On November 11th we pay tribute to their sacrifice and remember the soldiers who made our freedom; including the freedom of speech, possible. It is because of them that "you people" can write whatever it is you wish on social media, it is because of them "you people" are free to express and follow whichever religion, sexuality, belief or ideal you choose to; free of persecution. On November 9th 2019 Don Cherry spoke the words: "You people... you love our way of life, you love our milk and honey, at least you can pay a couple bucks for a poppy or something like that. These guys paid for your way of life that you enjoy in Canada, these guys paid the biggest price." He is not wrong. The words "you people" don't translate to "immigrants" in my vocabulary. But it did for the tens of thousands who brought their complaints to the attention of SportsNet and multiple social media platforms. "You people" to me represents ANYONE who enjoys the freedom we are given in Canada without a second thought about the cost of that freedom. "You people" targets those with a total disregard for how we pay our respects to our servicemen. Don Cherry was not disrespecting Canadian soldiers of different ethnicities. His comment was directed to ANYONE purposefully not wearing a poppy but enjoying the freedoms our country provides. However, if you were one of the humans who got offended and saw it as "racist" or "xenophobic" all I can say is... ....if the skate fits, go ahead and lace that b*tch up and wear it. We have a Prime Minister who openly mocks minorities with countless "black face" party tricks. He has discriminated against and disgraced women in his cabinet and breaks promise after promise to our aboriginal population. But a true Canadian PATRIOT rather un-gently encourages the public to wear poppies in remembrance of veteran sacrifice and he is fired from an iconic career. I ask anyone who was offended by Don Cherry's words to walk down to your local Legion right now and ask a veteran why they did what they did. When the vet is finished explaining, I want you to explain to them why Don Cherry's words offended you personally. You won't. "You people" will have no way to justify your easily offended feelings after hearing a vets selfless response of why they risked their own life for our country and the freedom "you people" take for granted. "You people" owe every Canadian veteran your life, but because of their sacrifice your life will likely never be called for collection. The least "you people" could do is give them your respect.
  11. Stayed at Anglers Haven for a weekend a few years back. Huts were well equipped, service was good, fishing was reasionable, South Bay area Nipissing.
  12. I would be very disappointed if it was Tim! Tim, Kim, and their crew have always been top notch with me and any of my friends. Sounds more like something Floyd would do.
  13. I suspect the original price might be in Chinese yuan, it converts at .19 CDN which would seem much more reasionable
  14. I guess prayers do work, so glad to hear that he will recover!
  15. Hey, there's a lot of places where that actually makes a lot of sense with all the flooding going an these days. 😊
  16. I didn't use Wish for it, I ordered it through EBay. As for the quality; that was 5 years ago and the saw is still running fine and he cuts a lot of wood.
  17. I ordered a whole new cylinder and piston for my son in laws chainsaw, complete kit was $63.00, took about 3 weeks but that same kit here would have cost almost $300.00. The quality was just as good as the one I could have got here.
  18. Two firefighters were hurt in Toronto last night when they fell from a roof while fighting a fire. One is in critical condition, prayers go out for his full recovery!
  19. whops wrong thread 😀
  20. I have looked at a few things on there but wasn't impressed with the quality. I do order a few things from China through Ebay and Ali and have never had any problems.
  21. Sitting in a nice warm hut on Simco, a pot of chicken noodle soup simmering on the stove, a big bag of home made jerky and those beautiful big Simco perch hammering your line....... come on hard water 😊
  22. Can't help you with the shore fishing but charters are IMHO very expensive. I and three of my buddies did a charter last year, 1/2 day $200.00 ea US (plus tips). We caught three small (under 5 lbs) fish which they then offered to cook up for us for an additional $20.00 US per person.
  23. I guess I am out of date but I still use my Amazon Fire TV and have no problems with it at all, I get all my tv shows and movies on it. Is the Apple TV a much better unit?
