Just wait until cormorant season opens and a bag limit of 50 and you can let them rot, the press will have fun when a couple of guys dump a hundred cormorants and someone finds them 🤯

Years ago we hunted behind Niagara Christian College on the Parkway just north of the Marina at Millers Creek.

Had a '97 , the only mini van that was actually a truck. That 4.3 pulled like a small V8, I really don't see why they discontinued them , make more sense than these $50,000 plus Yuppie pickups that are all cabin space and no box.

Had it's cousin, an '88 with the same 2.8 V6, wasn't quick but looked cool with the T Top. Bought it for $3500 in '99 from the old gent neighbour behind me, sold it in 2007 to a friend of my stepdaughters, I must of got a good one, no complaints here.

Must have been different in Canada. we had both large and small block V-8's. In 64, there were 283 and 327's in small blocks, they increased them shortly after '64 to 305' and 350's. My 79 GMC van had the 350 small block with the 4 barrel Quadrajet and 4 bolt mains, dad has a '79 pickup with the 305. In '64 full size Pontiacs had 3 trim levels, base was the Strato Chief, mid trim was the Laurentian and top was the Parisienne. Full size Chevs were Belair, Biscayne and Impala in that era. Big blocks I seem to recall 454's and 427's, maybe a 396 too. GM in St. Catharines made most of the engines for the Canadian market back then. Before the '64 wagon dad had a 61 Pontiac 4 door , think it had a 232 six.

Not a match to the paperwork , that reel looks low end as Ohio said , I grew up with direct drive knuckle busters, Langley's and Inglis/Shakespeares mostly.

We'd go camping as a kid with a '64 Pontiac Wagon , loaded with gear, 14' Fibreglass with a 28hp out behind and a 16' canoe on top, 283 cu.in 8 cyl. with one of those 2 speed powerglide auto transmissions. My personal tow vehicles were a 79 GMC Van with a 350 cu in. , a 88 Chevy pickup with a 4.3 V6 and a 97 Astro Van with the same 4.3 V6, boat was a little over a ton with gear, 18 1/2 foot tinner with a 90 v4., never felt the need for a 4x4 .

Yep, lived at Long Point on Lake Erie for a few years, all those species were a pretty easy catch from shore .

You're dating yourself 😀 and welcome to the board 👍

Even Go Pros create the same illusion with perspective and distort straight lines, I find curved horizons extremely annoying, grrrr

Just take your trophy pics with an extra wide angle lens, no arm's length shenanigans required.

Do we really have to listen to this for 4 1/2 more years ?

Wow, haven't done that since DOS came on floppy discs, back thirty years ago there were shops everywhere.

55 F here in Grimsby when I let the dogs out at 7AM, must be a record.

Well known locally here, my generation, couple of years younger than me. https://www.stcatharinesstandard.ca/whatson-story/9804404-neil-peart-in-his-own-words-growing-up-in-st-catharines/?fbclid=iwar2_ban799mbjtfghnyhcotrbu8f4dpf99tnepjkb8edagzr0f_gg_tzpiq

let the dogs out after supper, anyone need dew worms they are out in my backyard, lots of them too.

Had to bust out the snowblower in Nov, thought it was a bad omen, but only a few dustings since then 👍. Think late Nov was colder than the past weeks since Christmas, maybe spring is just around the corner. They are harvesting the Icewine I see on the news this morning.

Lots of ideas and selection here, getting one of them up in Canada could be a problem though. Building one out of marine ply and getting it professionally covered could be good way to go. https://www.google.com/search?q=Pontoon+Steering+Console&rlz=1C1CHBF_enCA806CA806&sxsrf=ACYBGNT-rO9e3NYC1n8yqtXkfnjGHSbfxQ:1577899638923&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=c_N0NLRLn3kt9M%3A%2CbBYbmq37GobB8M%2C_&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kQbFWcA9fO_Fd9b4Va4Xw3MdXpK3Q&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjliOCb9uLmAhURSN8KHSrJBnsQ9QEwAXoECAkQKQ

'79 GMC 3/4 ton van with 350 4 barrel quadrajet. Paint was crap, dealer repainted the roof within a year, I got the whole thing repainted before I moved to Grimsby in '84, shortly after I moved the cam went, not cheap, lower body started going and more engine trouble before I dumped it for a Chevy pickup in '88 with a 4.3 which was a solid engine. Guy who bought it , torn the engine down and found a push rod though a rocker arm. Mostly drove GMC and the rest were solid performers

Do they even still make 50 any more ? back then it outsold " Blue " , well actually it was called Labatt's Pilsner in those days, ask for a " Blue " back then and you would get a Molson's Old Stock Ale.

58 F here in Grimsby, took the outdoor lights and decorations down, get'em while the gettins good 👍

Ham , scalloped potatoes and asparagus, just the wife and I. Apple pie for dessert.

I suspected the payload would be very low with the weight of the batteries and what do you do when it is on a remote lake without enough charge to get back to base, plug it into a currant bush ?

OI in case you haven't noticed CHCH has resorted to almost the same lineup of shows and format, always see the end of Happy Days with the Fonz before the 6pm news Edit; just checked the lineup, " Hill Street Blues " is on from 4 to 5 pm, one of the first real life cop shows, I enjoyed it but I'll pass on reruns of the Monkees and I believe I know all the I Love Lucy shows by memory

Spending a lot of time listening to a wide variety of music here https://radio.garden/listen/blues-and-roots-radio/pkx8CzMt the radio. garden site is awesome
