  1. Inflation. Used to be $ .02.
  2. We want to put up a 9x13 ft shed that will have one corner on our septic bed due to space limitations at the cottage. The septic bed is about 20 yrs old. We bought the place 6 yrs ago. The bed is a deep spiral type. Apparently the pipe spirals down in a wide circle, about 15-20 ft in diameter down about 10 ft. The neighbor says he saw them install it. It's about 100 ft from the lake and 20 ft from the cottage which is closer to the lake. The shed is to sit on 2x2ft patio stones. At the 4 corners. The corner in question will be 1/3 of the way into the spiral. I know you shouldn't weigh down conventional septic beds. Does anybody know anything about these spiral types? Will the shed work? No other place to put it. Thanks Peter
  3. Good to hear. Had he blown a disc add $4k for neurosurgery.
  4. Wow. Close call. They are up there too apparently Love and hug lots.
  5. Scary story. Looks like you did every thing right too For theft reasons I use a Masterock lockable bar on my hitch. I guess it could fail too
  6. Well done Cliff. Trip of a lifetime. More to remember with the spartan accommodations ? You'll be spoiled now by fishing up there compared to down here. Ain't nothin going to compare. Thanks for the honest report.
  7. These are great tips! I keep my older repaired prop on board and plastic prop wrench Warm sweatshirt and gloves in case the weather turns.
  8. Chinese student fell off front of pontoon boat while under power and gets caught underneath. Sad.
  9. Nice. Did well in Kawarthas too just before a thunderstorm
  10. That's as good as it gets!
  11. As a part time Muskie guy, I use 80 lb powerpro. When casting a heavy bait and you get a birds nest, you'll need the heavy line. The sound of "ping" and seeing an expensive lure fly off and sink to the bottom is a piss off. Essox is Essox. Just different markings.
  12. Good article on Ticks and Lyme Disease in July edition. Take precautions for you, your families and pets. Bad disease. Nothing to fool with.
  13. I understand the only recycled material of any worth is paper and aluminum. Plastics are often taken to landfill.
  14. Bought a Traeger grill/smoker at Costco last year. Doesn't sear steaks well but amazing fir slower cooking at a controlled temp
  15. Spotty around lake. Warmer on windy shores.
  16. 73 mid afternoon but then 69-70 in morning.
  17. Never know what to use. Black, white, chartreuse or smoke. Glad u did well.
  18. Better than sex I say! ?
  19. Glad you brought this up. Took 1 garbage bag and used oil over. Took the oil but not the garbage because it wasn't in a clear bag.
  20. Get a coarse file and rough up about 1 cm or more around the existing broken skeg both sides. Remove paint and rough up metal. Provides more surface area to adhere and gives lateral support. Then cover this area with JB and extend out further than you need. Make sure hardens straight. Once rock hard can cut to shape with hacksaw and smooth with file. Paint if you want. Did mine 3 yrs ago. Still good. Badaboom.
  21. I guess that's why the MNR sends teams of students out to take surveys of fishermen and their catches. I've been approached on Simcoe and Lake O many times. Never on Pigeon though.
  22. I guess since they still have the slots reversed in Balsam compared to the other Kawarthas, they still don't know which way is best?
  23. I buy my Gulp in 10 packs like you would other plastics. There's very little water in them and as long as you zip seal them they keep a long time.
  24. How are they different than the ones you buy in a bag. And keep well as long as the bags are sealed.
  25. Hoping for the very best for you guys Early diagnosis of everything is key. Colonoscopy PSA. Prostate rectal exam Gynaecological tests Blood pressure Skin cancer check. Especially for us fishermen. Bloodwork. Push your family Doc to keep an eye on this. They won't call you It's up to you.
