  1. I understand just about all 30 horses and under are pretty well Tohatsu's now a days.
  2. It's not scary till the hair on your arm stands up and when you cast your monofilament line just hangs in space not falling to the water
  3. If it is a Grass Carp, they were legal to use for vegetation control in Ontario up to about 12 years ago. They still raise them in Alberta for that purpose.
  4. Wife and I always grab a sausage and pop and split a fries at Costco, best dog and a great deal.
  5. Googling " Pink Slime " will give pretty much the same results
  6. Looks similar to the process McDonald's uses to make Chicken McNuggets.
  7. They post the top ten on a daily basis, do they not???? No excuse for keeping a fish if it is not in the running. Edit: well of course if you want to eat one, but I'd prefer a Coho over a prize contender Chinook in that case
  8. Obviously, TLC is not longer The Learning Channel, terrible lifestyle choices or totally lame crap seems appropriate

      I always thought it stood for The Loosers Channel

      History Channel has " Mash " reruns, like they are historically accurate

      OLN is not really the Outdoor Life Network either.

  9. Years ago when they came up with the Three R's....... Reduce , Reuse, Recycle........it was explained to me that they are listed in order of preference with reduction being the preferred option and recycling being the least acceptable or viable option, somehow it has changed over the years with people thinking recycling is a good thing rather than the option of last resort. Edit : remember going to the village general store as a kid , getting a pop for a dime and the storekeeper hitting you up for an extra 2 cents if you took it outside.
  10. same with the beer cans, we could just blue box them too, and there is real money in scrap aluminum.
  11. There is a difference with the beer store, they actually do not recycle the empties but they reuse them. Well except for the LCBO bottles that we now have to take there, that is a giant waste of resources because they are recycled not reused and could more easily go in the blue box without the bureaucracy of charging a token deposit and then refunding it.
  12. Seniors 55 and older, we are the ones who started using it back in the sixties
  13. 27 were essentially dead upon release, I'd expect the real toll will never be known as many will swim away to succumb later.
  14. I use Intellicast, look at the radar to the west of us, we can pretty much count on getting whats over Chicago in 24 to 36 hours.
  15. Our dream boy is no better, every sentence he utters contain at least an ah or an um.

    No, no ,no, a separate province maybe, but not zones in Ontario.

    I too remember those days, I believe for hunting small game and migratory birds it is still twice the daily limit for possession limit, hence there could be some confusion still.
  18. Exactly, they have documented a Medieval Warm Period from 1000 to 1400 AD and what is referred to as the Little Ice Age from 1400 to 1900 AD, so we are in a warming period again, going to happen and we can not change it, just how much we are are contributing is pure speculation, maybe in a few hundred years they will be able to say we screwed up or they will refer to us as the "Chicken Little " generation.
  19. Agent Orange was just a blend of 2 herbicides routinely used in agriculture in the 60's and also sprayed in copious quantities along railway tracks, hydro right of ways and roadsides in the 60's.
  20. I thought May 24th was flare disposal day
  21. Spent my teens working on a mixed crop farm thoughout the sixties, Roundup is pretty tame compared to the stuff we used back then as herbicides. I know it doesn't make it right or friendly but look up stuff like Atrazine, Mecoprop, 2-4-D, Dicambra and 2-4-5T and their dangers as herbicide. We also did potatoes, the seed potatoes we would plant would be dusted with Captan as a fungicide and I believe we also sprayed the plants with it as a powdery mildew prevention. In my life I think we have made a lot of progress in the farm chemicals we used. Oh , we had over a thousand fruit trees, pretty sure we put a lot of DDT in the air as well.
  22. On the negative side , urban Ontario gave her a majourity after the McGuilty years and then turned around and did the same thing federally
  23. Save your money on buying these expensive , dangerous sounding chemicals. Essentially, these are very little more than spraying your plants with a baking soda slurry as a fungicide and a little dawn dish soap as a insecticide. The MDS sheets for some very ordinary items can sound pretty scary. edit: http://www.sciencelab.com/msds.php?msdsId=9927593
  24. All of the old stuff I've got from the 50's and 60's , I can tell you where I bought it, new. The French made a lot of excellent tackle back in the 40's and 50's, everyone knows Mitchell spinning reels but Luxor's were arguably a better reel and Pezon et Michel gear was for the elite. Dad was one of the original gear junkies
