  1. They missed a few stars in the description, G.E.Smith and Steve Cropper on guitar, Donald "Duck " Dunn on bass and Jim Keltner on drums.
  2. for a grand might be good to have https://www.msn.com/en-ca/autos/news/power-up-ford-f-150-used-to-heat-home-run-appliances-in-frigid-texas/ar-BB1dNVIu?li=AAggFp5
  3. a dozen or so years ago this fish was lifted on the Credit, several Autumns in a row, has to be a Laker cause we all know there are no Specs in Lake Ontario
  4. Loved sandwiches with that as a kid going to school, with catsup and lots of horseradish. Many years later I tried it again, found out it slices much better if you refrigerate the can first.
  5. I was impressed by the Costco warranty, not sure if they miscalculated but I got about 50% towards a new one and I swear it was 6 years old .
  6. Ever watch the flocks of seagulls following a commercial fishing boats in on Lake Erie, we are talking more than a few fish guts there
  7. Old enough to remember when tournament BASS boats were limited to 150 horse and manufacturers were badging 150's very conservatively for the market.
  8. Good excuse to get a 420 Outrage 🤣
  9. No dumping fish parts, we have just gone to bi weekly garbage pickup, should be able to crawl to the curb by itself by then.
  10. Not Friday but this appeared in my FB this morning , laughed so hard
  11. I have seen in a boating forum they jokingly referred to used I/O boats with the " white leg of death "
  12. You have to go back in time to when they sold Bayliner's with Force outboards to get a real horror story
  13. Born in 1950, same here, at least 4 polio survivors ( braces , wheelchairs, withered limb ) in my small rural 3 room school of about 75, and those were the ones that made it. Of course back then, were had Connaught Labs to develop and manufacture vaccines for us and the world. edit: https://www.thestar.com/opinion/contributors/2020/03/11/the-public-lab-that-could-have-helped-fight-covid-19-pandemic.html
  14. For years I launched at 50 Point, the Hamilton Conservation Authority webpage says the season launch pass is $158 incl. GST, better fishing on the south shore in April and May and not far to Bronte later if it is hotter there later on. 8 miles out of Bronte is pretty much the same patch of water as 8 miles out of 50
  15. My rule of thumb for any new lure to me was to get the first one in black, especially a surface lure and then go with a colour for the next one
  16. Dad was repair foreman for the Welland area, he hated the Dodges. When they switched from the Fords to Dodge they had a mix and only so much parking in the garage/work centre. In winter they would leave the older Fords and I think a few GM's outside and park the Dodges inside so they would start. I bought a new van in the late 70's and remember him telling me to not buy a Dodge.
  17. Did you live in Dunnville? they had their own company back in those days edit: guess even though they were based in Dunnville they serviced other communities, doesn't seem to be a lot of info on it, Bell eventually took them over, around 1980 or so
  18. Dad worked for Bell 40 years, started at 17 near the end of the war and retired in the mid 80's at 57. I recall pickups with a metal box on the back first and then English Ford Thames vans before the American made vans. In those years they were still that dark green but had red rims. BTW even with that history in my family I chucked Bell to the curb a few years back edit ; Dan that is a Ford Econoline not a Fargo
  19. Learn to fly fish , that's the preferred way to do it out there. Think " A River Runs Through It"
  20. Same here, in fact they don't even wait till election time, the Conservatives just booted a previous leadership contender for being a bit too conservative.
  21. Ancient saying " figures don't lie but liars figure " BTW took a lot of statistics too, 1969 to 73, had to due with Forestry , sampling and estimating forest yields, Forest Mensuration was a b@tch in the pre computer days, even when we got Fortran all your data would be in big box of keypunch cards 🤓
  22. Was at Real Canadian Super Store this morning doing the weekly shopping during the senior citizen hour. In addition to the pork shoulders and sausage casings they also have curing salt, the sodium nitrate stuff in a 1 Kg. bag for $2.68, probably just a seasonal thing like the big cooler of shoulders and casings. Edit : it was only 1% sodium nitrate, google says Prague Powder is 6.25 % so maybe not the right stuff
  23. Just hit 43 here on the thermometer on the north side of the detached garage, so far the snowblower inside is unused this winter 👍
  24. No different than here , if you want to be a member follow the rules.
