  1. Yes, I have 3 of those Instant Pots, a 3 , 6 and a 8 quart, they are great , no soaking the beans overnight like mom used to do. My beans are basically the same recipe but I used one of those little cans of tomato paste instead of catsup and the mustard is the powdered dry mustard. The 3 quart gets used for mashed taters, rice and hard boiled eggs mostly, the 6 does most main course meals and the eight does whole ears of corn and if ribs ever come down again it will take 2 whole racks, just sauce and finish under the gas broiler edit: if you ever find yourself in the doghouse this is like a get out of jail free card https://www.pressurecookrecipes.com/instant-pot-cheesecake-new-york/ supper yesterday with lots of leftovers https://www.shugarysweets.com/instant-pot-chicken-noodle-soup/
  2. That is basically what I have been doing for 13 years of retirement but the client is my wife and if I know what is good for me I wouldn't refer to her as elderly
  3. I immediately thought the same thing
  4. Listened to him as a teen, now in my 70's he has still got it, always loved his impeccable phrasing , John Lee Hooker influence ?
  5. Dad worked for Bell 1945-85, we always had a supply of that Deet at the cottage for bug season, worked good but I recall the '64 Pontiac Station wagon had two sections where your hands would go that the surface was well lets say textured 🤣
  6. Just make sure it had the 300 horse V6 , the 2.4 L inline 4 is pretty anemic from what I read and will only tow 1000 pounds
  7. Never was much of an Elvis fan but this blues number is very good
  8. Dad had a maroon '52 Pontiac, first car I remember, very similar except an Indian Chief head ornament on the hood
  9. If you are still looking , I took the Liberty in for a brake job and my mechanic, good guy, told me that everything was badly corroded and there were other issues it didn't make any sense to throw any more money at it, it would be better put the cash to something newer. He let me keep the loaner for the day, again great guy, and after searching local dealer's web sites, I ended up the same day with a 2014 GMC Terrain with the 3.6L V6, it feels a lot bigger than the Liberty inside, will tow 3500 pounds, the interior is far more luxurious then the spartan Jeep, the rear seats have the most legroom of virtually any vehicle I have ever been in and personally I like the boxy styling , screams GM rather than an Asian import. Was under your $15K by quite a bit
  10. Big fan of Mark Knopfler, found this today, kudo's to whoever put the images together with the song
  11. As a teen in the 60's I had a paper mache Owl decoy and a couple of mouth blown crow calls, great fun. Crows really have a hate on for owls, we would prop up the shot crows as dcoys
  12. In the 60's I ran white Shakespeare Wonderods for everything, switched to brown fiberglass Fenwicks in the 70's
  13. The other day I came across an " Outdoor Stores " price tag, you are old if you remember them.
  14. It is usually White Cedar poles that have that spiral growth pattern
  15. Yes it is silted in badly over the last 30 years, not that it ever was very deep but not as shallow as today.
  16. That was in the 80's and earlier, we also ice fished there in winter back then for perch and pannies.
  17. There was a time when the Largemouth fishing was quite good in Jordan Harbour
  18. Enjoyed the write up👍 man it's been a long time since I've seen a Pink, we used to get into them pretty good on Young's Creek down on Lake Erie , but that was 30 years ago, the males can get pretty grotesque with the hump, kipe and teeth.
  19. Dad had one , but I think it was a heavier action. He was a tournament caster, late 40's /early 50's, his handle was covered in powdered graphite that they used to lubricate their silk fly lines so they would shoot farther. Nice and very collectable 👍
  20. Some Celtic Soul for a Sunday afternoon, at 75 Van is every bit the artist he was 50 plus years ago, maybe better.
  21. There is actually video from earlier that day at the O'Leary dock where his wife docks the boat and does up the lines also pulling out later she is at the helm and appears to be very proficient with the boat, Kevin on the other hand sits at the back like he is clueless, I really think she is the mariner in the family edit : I like how she takes the stern light from him LOL
  22. Seems the police almost crashed doing a re-enactment and they had radio comms between the 2 boats, they cancelled the re-enactment cause they deemed it too dangerous. I'm sure most here now how dark it can be in the north on a moonless night https://torontosun.com/news/local-news/mandel-unlit-boat-involved-in-oleary-crash-impossible-to-see-in-opp-simulation
  23. get there soon, pretty sure salmon and trout close there the end of the month south of the QEW
