neither ...its our free drugs that our gov provides....sheesh ...better get some sunblock or a hat on yer melon

oh man...which one ...i could probably write a book one this subject... if you will ..... Last day of derby...pending thunderstorm on the horizion.....other boats high tailing it in at the first distant lighting strike ....i seem to always have to push the limits and stay to the bitter end....finally decide to start pulling up the gear as the rain and lightening is now upon me ..... i proceed to pulling first rigger up and the second goes off....fish on !!!wind ...waves now picking up and rain is horizontal....i fight the fish for about ten minutes till the hail rears its ugly head into the mix....and it HURTS!!!! still about 6 miles from shore that i now cant see because of the rain /hail mix....so i break the fish off and get things secured in the boat for the daunting task of trying to make it back....wind gusts are now 35-40 knots and visibility is about 10 feet waves are roughly 20 footers with a the rouge "perfect storm wave" that has me worried about attempting to turn the boat from the most comfortable direction....but realizing im going to have to at some point or ill overshoot my port of call and end up on McGregor Point ....unable to lift my head from the exposure of the elements and lack of visibility i relied solely on the GPS to steer me home....this goes on for about 40 minutes and the storm finally subsides to the point i can see land .....waves are still breaking over the bow of the 28 foot Caravelle....now the worst has passesd ....or so i thought ....so i start to ride the waves head on at a little more speed to make up real estate back to port as i now realize that for the 40 minutes i was fighting the elements with zero visibility the wind had moved me way north of my port and i was now 14 miles away from home .....so i get a little more aggressive with the throttle to get back on track and now to the point i can see the beacon at Logies rock ( 2miles from port ) im much more comfortable and even more aggressive on the throttle with the confidence im going to have a story to tell the boys but NOT the wife.....waves have subsided to 10 footers now with the rogue 15 footers...and as i round Chantry Island cruising straight into the waves towards port the twin yammys start to sputter then shut down....i cant get them going and now im adrift blowing sideways straight for the island the has the notorious boat eating boulders under the surface of the water....realize im out of fuel!!!!!!! but not worried cuz i have a gerrycan in storage of one of the live wells ....open up the live well to retrieve it and its tipped over with the lid off floating on its side amidst all the water i have taken on from the waves breaching the bow and gunnels.....uh oh ...what next???? i find my cell phone that is amazingly still working and call home for my son to rescue me with fuel on the sea doo ...he is on his way.....getting closer to the boat eating boulders i throw the anchor out to stop the boat in its tracks.....rope is only 50 feet long and the waves are still ten - fifteen feet high and wind is 25 knots....it wont catch on anything and if it did ....the fifteen footers only unhook it from the bottom ....the water rises quickly from 30 feet to 12 feet just off the island with boulders exposed at the trough of the waves.....what to do ????? load the cannon balls on the riggers and drop em down and hope for the best....two more anchors couldnt hurt....or could it ...depth is now 30 feet .....two riggers down and the anchor off the bow.....wham!!!!!!! something catches ...left side rigger is locked to the bottom....brake is on and the rigger is making seriously not so funny noises of stress....uh oh ....the rigger is going to snap right off the gunnel.....boat come to an abrupt stop !!!!! yay!!!!!! the anchor has finally locked to the bottom hit the switch on the right rigger to get it up off the bottom before it catches and starts making noise..no issues but i cant move the left rigger up at all .....grab the wire cutters and cut the rigger cable ....bye bye cannon ball .....( better then losing the whole rigger)....now im safe.....boats fixed to the bottom ....sun is out and the boat eating boulders are still 40 feet away from me .....sit down and have a victory smoke to celebrate.....nope they are soaked.....oh well i now have a visual on my son jumping waves on the seadoo with what i perceive to be ...the smallest fuel can in the world.....and it was....after the system was finally primed and running again ....i had the insight to connect the seadoo to the boat for a tow....good thing ....cuz the amount of fuel ran out just as he pulled me into the confines of the break wall.... moral of the story.....teach your kids about white lies when it comes to reporting to mothers/wives on fishing adventures

is Quebec still part of Canada ?

ive bought Trane Lennox Keeprite Ruud but from here on out ...best warranty and product is Tappan imo for todays market

i too did all the usual kid jobs ...papers grass snow etc....first real job was in a candy factory as a student for $5.25 hr in 1981....not bad money for the times plus all the benefits of eating every candy imaginable at a huge level and cookies galore!!!!....i quit school and stayed on in the factory and went to $7.45 hr ...got used to the paychecks and bought a house at the rip old age of 19....tried when i was 18 but they discriminated against me cuz of my age....i lasted 6 years ( $11.10 hr) at the factory thing and never stepped back into one (knock on wood icon) to this day....

well we have enough snow up here ... ill supply and load it for free ....just pay for shipping and its all yours.... groundhog day happens every year and i get confused EVERY year as to what it means when he sees his shadow...im going to guess if he sees it ...its a good thing ...6 weeks of winter left...and if he doesnt its a bad thing ...8 weeks left? P3TA has their nose bent out of shape over groundhog day....i wonder who is going to be getting a pie in the face

outlaw raises a good point Jacques...if you condition the wood first youll get probably 1/4 " penetration then a sanding sealer and 1/8th penetration into the conditioner then prime and paint ...that way when a toothy critter bites into it ...your lure will still be protected from water penetration at the bite marks

1000 $ ??? nope ...tell them to remove the entire unit then...and install a new one if its under warranty..play hardball with them edit ....make sure it a new part going in and not a reclaimed part from another furnace

almost makes ya wanna knock the dust off the juice harp...

yep it must be cold out ....cuz that thing looks frozen stiff

if what we recieved here is any indication ...im going to go out on a limb and say ...yes tons of powder...it hasnt stopped snowing for three days now

i would think youll have to make another mount and keep these ones out of water Jacques nice work bushart

ok one for you GCD

ok heres this weeks installment of the Saturday Kewl Clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nW085dPRczQ

nice job!!! its kinda funny when ya refer back to " 20 years ago" ....where the heck does the time go its a relaxing day when ya have the time to tie flies

Had to share this

thats the only excuse you SHOULD break a promise to your kids...take them somewhere else Vinni ....no one needs the hassle...even if you do find that you are able to be legally there...you still wont enjoy yourself because of the thought that could possibly happen...can ya really enjoy yourself if your looking over your shoulder every minute? or ...if this is a pissing contest between you and the gun toting fool ...then knock on his door and settle it verbally so you are both aware of each others point of view...take a timmies for him and have a sit down...youll be surprised how far a 1.50 coffee goes Good Luck

Congratulations Laz !!!!!!!!!! Ten Fingers Ten Toes Two Eyes And a Nose "Dave" is still a great name ( even for a girl) hurry up and post the details with Pics Life is NOW officially over as you knew it ....and welcome to the best part of life...... Daddy All the best to you, your wife and daddy's little girl

that was awesome ....brings back memories for me too when i worked in forest protection in New Brunswick.... beautiful area .. should do it again in the fall when the colours are out thanks for sharing.... i totally enjoyed it

most definatly ....if the golf courses are wrecked then people will take up fishing and crowd the rivers and lakes... seriously though ...if there has been an abundance of car meets deer scenarios in the area then they need a bonus hunt to make the roads safe to pass...but to open a special hunt to protect a golf course...i think not ... my 02

this made me laugh and i had to share

hell must of froze over ...cuz this is the first time the port elgin store ever had anything in stock of something that was on sale ...normally you get the rain check ...and a month later when frustration sets in because the article hasnt shown up yet...ya drive to owen sound to find out they wont honour the rain check from port...
