How about bringing back 'Drive Clean " while we are at it 🤬
-
Yeah, never used the snowblower once last year in Grimsby, had the present vehicle 3 years now , only 11,000 km , only venture out in good weather in winter , 16 years retired and with the cost of living going up , money is getting tight , not getting snows

Retired 16 years , had present vehicle 3 years and put 11,000 km on it, probably only 2000 of that in winter and last year the snowblower didn't get used so not in a snow belt, be damned if I am shelling out big bucks for snow tires here on the south shore of Lake Ontario . Never put snows on my first front wheel drive car either , a '76 Rabbit and I put that through all sorts of backroads and snow when I was younger hunting rabbits and coyotes. last snows I bought were bias ply and only on the back of a '79 GMC van

Keep your Windows updated and don't worry about an antivirus

Dip netting is not a legal means of angling for most sport species , usually just legal bait species, smelt and coarse fish, there was an actual season that it was permitted as well. You really need clarification from a C.O.

google lens says it is a fuse and the centre area should be filled with black epoxy and probably a thin lead strip https://www.ebay.com/itm/164838245538

Mine was on one of those brackets you raise up and down, never trusted it , took the kicker off to trailer any distance
-
Yeah , that the one, I sold mine mine to Bill Spicer back when he fished with other than a flyrod, that reel probably drove him to give up centerpinning.
-
HAHAHA , mine is one of those LG Stantons as well, I just thought they were real Stantons that Lorne put one of his stickers on , mine has the knurled rim that I actually like and handles, buddy got there late , he had one of the handleless ones . I do recall they came with a gawd awful long reel seat foot that took a bit of filing to get into the seat on my rod. Was a a step up from the Grice and Young Avon that I got there as well, hated it when line got behind the spool
-
Don't see any clicker, loved running an old clickerless Stanton, gotta maintain contact with the spool at all times fighting a fish or a mega overrun, beautiful reel edit; didn't look cool but a hair scrunchie around the handle worked well for travelling between drifts
-
About the same here, starting getting supplies from L.G Tackle when Lorne was still operating out of the basement, remember a 17 foot Whaler parked in the drive. Store in Welland was also selling Browning Silaflex blanks back then, they were a pretty decent fiberglass as well
-
Yeah , that's old school, pretty close to the same cork dimensions I built back late 80's, reel well towards the butt. What is that a 6 inch spool ??
-
I found that my IM6 1562 had a lot more balls than my 1562 Premier 96% graphite
-
I don't know about that, back late 80's a 35 pounder and 2 bits would get you a cup of coffee in the Star Derby, now you are a weekly winner if not the whole ball of wax, they already have the capability to grow larger than what we see today, yeah food is the problem

Always liked the Model 19's better than the newer 586 with the full underlug, could be a 29 too

Wore a LG hat for about 20 years LOL. Starting getting supplies from him in the late '70's , he was still working out of the basement of his house and a 17 foot Boston Whaler in the drive

got that T shirt on precision trolling. Back in '82 I bought a 18 foot centre console , had a OMC 90 V4 and a 9.9 hung on a bracket with an EZ Steer bracket to tie them together. Next to the paper graph I had a Pelican sailboat knotmeter and a paddle wheel on the stern for speed control, that was a hot setup back in those days.

Recommended fly rod and weight for trout and bass in Ontario
dave524 replied to Robertk's topic in Fishing News
5 weight for trout and 7 for smallmouth bass would be my pick, I use heavier for largies -
Wife's PC with integrated video just wasn't up to par running a new game she got, so we got one of these with a dedicated video card. Awesome speed with a full terrabyte SSD and I7 , was impressed enough to get one for our daughter as well . You'll pay a lot more for less buying new plus it doesn't come loaded with a bunch of crapware https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/refurbished-good-dell-precision-t1700-tower-gaming-desktop-computer-pc-core-i7-4770-4th-gen-16gb-ram-1tb-ssd-rx-550-windows-10-pro-intel-processor-black/17194415

Finally someone worthy and seeming forgotten get inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame , it was beginning to be a joke with the rap and other crap being inducted . Considering he first did this in 1958 , he was way ahead of his time
