  1. Low 40's here (Grimsby)this morning, had to turn on the gas fireplace, wouldn't surprise me if there was frost in the north country

    1. Fisherman

      Fisherman

      At 5:40 am half the neighbours garage roof was white, looked up and down the street, sure nuff couple others were frosty too.

    2. misfish

      Really didnt have time to look. I was busy looking around for a windless spot to launch the toon.

  2. Inner Bay at Long Point is good for lots of smaller pike, close to Hamilton.
  3. Nice going, I'm only seeing 4 species, some walleyes, perch, few silver bass and a salmonoide that looks like a coho by the tail, what am I missing ??
  4. 50 give or take , depending on the wind direction. Not good.
  5. Yep , pretty sure it is an Atlantic. It would have been better had you closed the mouth before the pic. I usually look at the back of the jaw in relation to the eye, much like bass, with the Brown being a largemouth and an Atlantic being a smallmouth.
  6. Willow is soft but still doesn't make good kindling , the softwoods that are used for kindling are coniferous trees not soft deciduous like poplar and willow which tend to go punky as they dry out and smolder when burnt.
  7. The big difference between marine grade plywood and exterior is not in the glue but in the integrity of the plys as far as voids and knots, seriously unless you are building an actual hull out of plywood you are wasting money springing for the extra bucks for a floor that you're going to cover with carpet anyway, seal it well though.
  8. People keep mentioning a tranquilizer gun and the MNR, never really known a CO to have used one or even access to one. Maybe a research team funded by a University , but in the field , it's either a live trap or a gun depending on the immediacy of the situation. People been watching too many Animal Planet and Disney Documentaries. Might be bit of bad feeling within the MNR too, the cancellation of the spring bear was strictly a political move to appease certain groups never was based on science. The Ministry didn't create the problems we've had since the cancellation of the hunt with bears and they are darned if they are going to help, you made your bed you lie in it attitude.
  9. Probably many of the same crowd that protested the spring bear hunt years ago
  10. Had a modulator valve go on the tranny of a 79 GMC van, same effect, tranny fluid ends up in the engine with a cloud of smoke when you accelerate. Thought it blew a ring Why did it quote 2X???
  11. IT'S ABOUT TIME, both Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble and Mike Bloomfield and the Butterfield Blues Band are being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, tonight I believe.
  12. I see in this weeks Sobey's Flyer , wild Lake Erie White Bass @ $5.99 a pound. We would get them occasionally Walleye fishing there , suspended offshore with the eyes, pretty good size too at times, never kept one to try on the table.
  13. Cool , never seen one of those. As a kid I would find cocoons in the winter of both Polyphemus and Cecropia moths in the woods while rabbit hunting and bring them inside where it was warm and hatch them out. Strange I never got an IO they were all the same family.
  14. Think it was finally confirmed that big pike was caught in Italy.
  15. Hope this works out better than when GM converted their 350 small block to run on diesel 30 or so years ago.
  16. Looks like a Milk Snake
  17. There was a time the probass circuit was limited to 150 HP, I know it was that way in the 80's and don't know when they went higher. Anyway in those days a lot of 150 motors marketed to the pro's had 150 on the cowl but actually would turn more.
  18. I thought that in Ontario anyway black and brown bears were just different colour phases of the same species, just like black and grey squirrels, red phase and grey phase of Ruffed Grouse and Screech Owls. The Brown bears on the West Coast are an entirely different species. Don't think the colour of the fur could cause any behavioural differences.
  19. There is what we call half and half cream at 10% and a light cream at 5% , would either of those not work for your teas?
  20. Another Ontario Artist from my generation, song is almost 50 years old but even more relavent at my age than then
  21. Illegal?? seriously, that would mean if a cat catches any songbird the owner could be changed with hunting a protected species, My dog chases the squirrels in the backyard that turn around and chatter at her from the trees, better hope she don't get one. Guess if he encouraged the dog to get the fish and was keeping the rotting boots a CO. might have a case. Stupid , ignorant yes but illegal no.
  22. The first reddish brown one looks very much like my dog
  23. I've used one of those Black and Decker steamers for both corn and asparagus for years as well as other veggies, works for me but am going to try soaking ears of corn and grilling this year once the price comes down out of the stratosphere.
  24. Seriously, I do great looking in my mirrors backing up but if I turn around and look over my shoulder I get the directions messed upped. I am not a fan of those everything looks a mile away until you hit it mirrors on the passenger side.
  25. Haven't listened to CFNY since Dave Marsden left, the format changed and the " Spirit of Radio " died. CHUM FM was actually great station back in the early 70's too. Thank god for internet stations no good OTA stations anymore. Remember Pete and Geets
