Drain the acid to make drugs, refill with water to get paid for the weight at the scrap yard, use the propane to make drugs, sell the empty cylinders to the scrap yard for scrap steel. Sounds like a good business plan to me!

Oh, I have a couple of really good ones, smoked; baked; with a maple mustard glaze and grilled.....

What part of this don't you understand?: I know that pot has ruined a few lives, I know a family that have borrowed money from and stolen from almost every member of the family so they could buy their $300.00 or $400.00 a month in pot. I have seen them borrow money from friends, hock family jewlery for peanuts and never get it back, go to the food bank get what they can and sell it, send their kids to school without proper shoes or food...... all so they could buy their bag of pot. They spend anywhere from $300.00 to $400.00 a month on pot and more if they can get it. (Most of the family won't even let them in the house any more because of the thefts. I know for a fact she pawned her grandmothers rings and other jewlery for pennies of what it was worth just so she could buy pot. They bought a car from a family member for a very good price because someone was trying to help them get back on their feet then never paid for the car, borrowed money from her grandmother and anyone else that she could because she always had a good jerk story and never paid it back. They moved in to a family members basement apartment because they had no jobs and no place to live, it was a beautiful two bedroom apartment and all they were suppose to do was pay utilities and help out around the place. They never paid a cent, never contributed an hour of help, caused hundreds of dollars in damages and finally had to be forced out "but they always had enough money to go buy their bag of pot!" It has driven a wedge between other family members to the point where many of them don't even talk to each other any more. Her own father she bled dry to the point where when he passed away there was no money to bury him other than what the government paid and even then she was trying to figure out how she could score a few bucks. It was so bad that even her own brother and sister wouldn't attend the service. Go ahead and pick that apart all you want) I know another young man, never did drink, just doesn't like the stuff, use to fish and hunt all the time, loved being out doors and always worked hard; today you can't get him off the couch, he doesn't get excited about anything unless he is down to his last bud or vial of oil and even then it is like he is in a fog. You can tell me it doesn't ruin lives but I have seen it with my own eyes but to be honest with you I have seen a lot more lives ruined from booze than from pot! ( what use to be a bright hard working bright young man with a beautiful family is now out of work more than he is in it, doesn't get to see most of the rest of the family just because he can't be bothered, his sister has stage four nonhodgkins lymphoma and is on her fifth round of chemo. He is always too busy "sitting out back smoking a joint" to even go and see her. The only time he has even seen his father in the last three years is when his father makes the effort to go and see him and then it's sit and watch him smoke up".) You go right ahead and pick that apart all you want! I am not saying that pot should be banned, I have seen booze do a lot more damage but you can't tell me pot has never destroyed any families! Now if that hasn't explained the issues clearly enough maybe it's time to cut back a little

Did you miss my second last post? For obvious reasons I am not going to name names but I am obviously close enough to some to know the details and believe me it has caused a lot of grief to many people in their family!

Thanks for the heads up!

I think the world of you and I love most of your posts but I think you need to take a closer look: Our "government" already dictates so many aspects of our lives and taxes and many more. When you really look at it they already dictate so much of what we can or can't do! Seat belts, life jackets, safety kits in boats, motorcycle helmets, they tax the heck out of tobacco (but they also tax the heck out of stop smoking aids). Such a contridiction, tax a woman's sanatiry supplies, tax food, it's almost to the point where they tax the water we drink and the air we breath, You need a licens to fish hunt, hunt certain species, own a gun, buy a property, sell a property get married, die..... Our democracy is sounding more and more like a dictatorship every day!

And you want to know what the best part of it is; if her costs go up she gives herself a raise because she has to cover the costs you know! Go tell your boss you need a raise because some dumb (ok I'll let you fill in the blank) thinks you need to pay more so she can get a raise! This woman (oh and I really don't want to call her that but this thread would be locked and I'd be banned if I did say what I mean) is without a doubt the worst thing that has ever happened to Canada. She has already cost Ontario more than any terrorist group could ever hope to and she gets to sit there and laugh and lie about it!

I know that pot has ruined a few lives, I know a family that have borrowed money from and stolen from almost every member of the family so they could buy their $300.00 or $400.00 a month in pot. I have seen them borrow money from friends, hock family jewlery for peanuts and never get it back, go to the food bank get what they can and sell it, send their kids to school without proper shoes or food...... all so they could buy their bag of pot. Now, that being said; this same family would probably be spending it on booze (and they do some of that too) or cigaretts which they also do if it wasn't for the pot so it is unfair to claim that pot is to blame. They have just chosen a life style that they will live regardless of who else suffers. I know another young man, never did drink, just doesn't like the stuff, use to fish and hunt all the time, loved being out doors and always worked hard; today you can't get him off the couch, he doesn't get excited about anything unless he is down to his last bud or vial of oil and even then it is like he is in a fog. You can tell me it doesn't ruin lives but I have seen it with my own eyes but to be honest with you I have seen a lot more lives ruined from booze than from pot! I have smoked pot; YES, YES, it's true but I didn't inhale (well maybe a bit once in a while ). It was fun at the time but that was a long time ago before this stuff got so potent, heck we could smoke a joint and giggle and all was good. A few years ago I took a couple of drags on a joint (I was in a drunken stupor at the time , well at least that's my excuse) I was so wasted It scared the heck out of me and I haven't touched it since. I do believe there is a place for it, I am told that it really helps with the nausia from chemo treatments and several people I know that suffer chronic pain say that without it their lives would be hell. As a recreational thing, well I think tobacco already does enough damage but I don't know if pot is any better or worse. I do know that if it was legal a lot of people would grow their own, heck a half dozen good plants would probably produce enough to supply the average person for a year or two. Think of all the money the drug pushers would loose, heck they might even have to go get real jobs! But lets work a few numbers; 6 really good plants would probably yield 6 lbs of pot. 6 lbs of good pot = about $3000.00/lb = $18,000.00. Well that would put all that extra money in famlies pockets and take it out of the drug dealers pockets. It would also save our police forces and courts huge amounts of money in trying to catch and prosecute people for having small amounts of pot and think of all the lawyers that would have their incomes reduced from being able to prosecute or defend pot users. OMG I think I am agreeing with Justin, they should leaglize it right now

Here is what I know: A cold front moving in makes the walleye bite a lot tougher, doesn't mean you can't catch them but that is when I go to live bait and fish really slow. My best walleye fishing (for numbers on a lake and I fish the Kawarthas ) has always been when it was windy and the more wind, the more fish (not so much on a river). I have fished days when it wasn't fun to fish because it was so rough but the fish were hitting like crazy. River fishing doesn't seem to be affected as much by the cold front, might be because of the way I tend to fish a curent though. Weather does play a huge role but in most cases if you adjust your tactics (time/location/presentation) you can catch them! If one thing isn't working it's time to try something else! I can't tell you how many times I have been in a boat with someone and either they or I were pounding them and the other person wasn't. Same bait, different presentation, totally different day of fishing!

They do the best they can but their resources are so limited and if you think about it; on a population basis they are stretched so thin down here. Up in your neck of the woods if a guy gets caught everyone in the area knows him. Down here on any given day in crappy season there can be 50 or more boats in a small bay and there are hundreds of small bays. The odds of getting caught down here are about as good as the odds of winning the lottery and there lies the problem. Even if they do get caught and they don't show up in court, there is no one to hunt them down and make them accountable.

And they don't even care if they get caught because they don't bother getting a license, don't show up in court if they do get caught, and most of the tackle they use isn't worth much if it does get seized. I reported a couple of guys a few years ago for taking OOS fish and over limit; they got nailed and they were back the very next day in the same place doing the exact same thing! We don't need more enforcement, we need tougher enforcement! Make it hurt if you do get caught, seize cars, trucks, equipment right on the spot none of this "if you come to court and you can pay us then" nonsense.

Here is a deal for you: If anyone on here gets any salmon or trout (3-5 lbs or larger is better) that they don't feel will survive if released and you don't want it, give it to me. I will cure and cold smoke it for you and you will be totally amazed at what you get back (no cost to you but I keep half for doing it). I have been doing the cold smoke process for a couple of years now and you'll never buy any more from the store after you have tried mine. (and sorry, no, I don't sell it) I'd be happy to teach anyone that wants to learn how to build the smoke generator and how to do the fish, it is amazingly easy and so good!

Isn't it against the law to allow any fish or game suitable for human consumption to be wasted? Isn't it also illegal to sell any sport fish or game unless you have a special license? If not, it should be! I have eaten many different kinds of roe and most were excellent if prepaired properly but I would never discard a fish for the sake of keeping the roe for any reason if the fish was suitable to eat.

I don't know Jim well but from my experience with him he is a very nice man and I am sure he will get his side of it all sorted out for you!

I'm anxious to hear how it went. Water test shouldn't be a problem, there is a boat launch right across the street.

Never tried it but sounds logical!

Oh, and another chili varation, put it on a salad and serve it like that!

PLEASE, Ok Pretty Pretty Please!

PM sent with contact information. Let us know how it goes!

I spent years working in the bush and from that first picture that tree is going to the right. There is way too much weight on that side for it to come back across those cedars (unless you had some very serious equipment to literally pull it back over) and even then you might stop it from falling where the weight is but it would probably spin on the stump and come down to the side. Also, if it did come down on those cedars it would make a mess of a few of them. From the second picture it looks like you might be able to take it down and drop it between the house and the shed, the limbs are high enough on it that it would probably work but it is a little hard to tell from a picture. Regardless of what it is going to cost to have a professional take it down, more important what is it going to cost if it comes down on one of your buildings?

Wind was pretty bad here yesterday, sign might have blown off, I'll go knock on the door tonight or tomorrow morning.

There are a lot more old drunks and pot users running around than there are old Dr.s You just might have something there!

Is that the one down across the road from Lunge Haven? I went down there but there is no sign or or anything on the boat, (was on a black trailer) tried knocking on the door but no one answered, I'll try again this evening. I did go out to 36 and down the other way to Pleasent Point but the only other one I saw didn't have a motor on it and it looked like it needed a lot of TLC.

So will mudlites cause you arent having fun until you can get it stuck LOL. Hope you got a winch with it, they sure are handy!
