'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

Niagara River , both upper around Fort Erie and lower at Queenston and Whirlpool edit: the idiots should be mostly gone from Erindale Park by now, used to do very well there as well

I'm not buying one either

I recall going camping with my parents back in the early sixties, enjoyed getting ice for the cooler cause it was cut from the lake and stored in a log building covered in sawdust. Must have lost a lot of people down the massive holes that were left from that operation 🤣.

Anyone else think maybe there was a conspiracy to tank just to force the firing of Babcock ?

I know there are a lot of regulations for a propane installation on a larger boat, just how much would apply to a 20 pound tank on a 12 foot tinner ? http://www.pcmarinesurveys.com/Safe Boat propane Installation.htm

Really , after an eight hour fight it would have been a waste to release it.

you want northern pikes ? 😀

Today yes, 30 plus years ago no. Pierre Berton wrote a book , " 1967, The Last Good Year " just about nailed it.

So when can't recent immigrants be white ? Some just too eager to play the race card, even when it is not applicable.

" you people " was fine in '97 , now you have to say "everyone "

How about them " Ticats " 😁

Wasn't that the Bahamas ?

If this cold keeps up could be a record early ice wine harvest.

I left the OFAH over 20 years ago when the " FUDDS " there sold out recreational shooters with their " it's not suitable for hunting B.S." Guess even they have been pushed too far since then or got their heads out the sand.

Obviously , you are not on Canadiangunnutz or a couple of the US Hunting and Fishing forums I belong to, this board is actually quite tolerant.

He number 7 👍 on the list of the most admired Canadians and that list is quite lib/left biased as David Suzuki and Pierre Trudeau are above him.
