How long do they stay on you for?

Typically they stay on for 5-7 days.

You won't feel the bite nor will you feel the tick on you.

They secrete a kind of local anesthetic so you don't feel anything.

The good news is that most ticks don't carry Lyme disease in most of Ontario. Problem areas are Prince Edward County and east along the St Lawrence valley and the north shore of Lake Erie.

An infected tick needs to be attached to its host for at least 24 hrs before it can transmit Lyme disease.

A thorough tick check at the end of the day in the mirror or by your sweetie and prompt removal is key if you've been in the woods

Best think to do is grab it by the head with tweezers and pull it straight out.

The infectious agents, like the Lyme bug, are in the belly of the tick.

Squeezing the body with your fingers or pissing it off with chemicals or heat could potentially cause these bugs to pushed into the victim.

Yup. Get your pooches on good tick prevention

Oral or topical.

Should start April 1.

 

Jimmer is going to have to disguise his boat

 

 

Capt...dont overlook upper buckhorn.

 

weve been catching so many incidental eyes that if we were trying wed be laying a beating on them.

 

Any time we use something that swims on a deeper weed edge looking for bass we are running into eyes.

Doing the same up here but maybe more pressure.

Going to spend more time watching where guys are fishing for eyes on north Pigeon. I've never had much luck early season at my usual June/July spots. Anybody up at 6 am in a tinny should be local that knows what he's doing

Me thinks.

O is up 4 inches since the 20th of april.

 

High water is never an issue! keep the rain coming, safe travels on Gbay

Any flooding in Halliburton or Kawarthas?.

Even Lake O is way high.

Up to the cottage on north Pigeon.

Took my ride out.

10 yrs old. 115 Yammy.

Started right up as usual.

Original battery.

Water levels up 6 inches over normal.

Saw 1 boat fishing.

Water clear. No panfish at the dock.

Life is good.

Great!

Are those cats edible ?

That's brutal!

Ya but the wise, seasoned husband looks after the dishwasher and trash. Occasional flowers.

Maybe some dinner out.

Then you get to fish way more without regrets!!

Kiss boating goodbye with those jumping carp

Fishing for native species will deteriorate as they are displaced as they have been in the Mississippi watersheds.

I'll be selling our cottage on Pigeon before values tank.

Maybe a deep isolated shield lake.

I have had good experience with Auto Trader, worth spending a few $$ for a fast sale,

You should have no problem selling an Accord in good shape,

Btw: what are you asking for it ?

Asking $2,900 4cyl stick 4 dr blue 200k km

Ended up buying a new Subaru Crosstrek for the wifie. Prices for good used cars are stupid high.

Now I have to sell the old girl. 2004.

Been a good car.

As trade in, the dealers offered squat.

Going to sell her private.

Thinking Kijiji.

But don't want the hassle that comes with tire kickers and low ball offers.

Thinking of setting a firm, fair price.

Take it or leave it.

My mechanic recommended to sell As Is.

I think I need to get a sellers package from MTO and e-test but not sure.

Which is better -Kijiji or Autotrader? Or use both?

Anyone have any thoughts on the Legend Xcalibur 16? Its a used model. Seems to have the items Id want in a boat, 16 foot 82" beam, with a 60hp motor, and the flip down seating. Im getting hit and miss reviews about Legend though.

Sounds underpowered as they often are.

You want at least 75% of max rating for the boat.

Thanks for the heads up.

A ton of rain, wind, then snow more to the north.

Ground is saturated.

Make sure your down spouts are good and water can get away from buildings.

Not a bad little show.

Went last year.

Was free.

You too.

Nicest part near Severn.

Rail at Big Chute.

Should work great.

Muskie are not fussy IMO.

Hooks likely a little small

I'm always pumped too for the opener.

But then half way through the game I remember how crazy slow the game of baseball can be.

Went to a great Cottage Life Show

Buddy selling an aluminum hot tub with firebox built into one end of the tub. Made in BC and shipped anywhere.

You sit on cedar benches.

Cedar boards outside more for looks and insulation.

No whirlpool effect. No electricity

Most people fill with lake water

$3,800.

Anybody have one of these?

Holy Moly!

Not sure it's wise to let renters use a motor boat.

Lots of liability issues potentially.

Plus hassle if they wreck it.

When I rent out my cottage, guests rent one from the local marina if they don't have their own.

Just sayin.

Careful shopping is important.

Not spending $50-$100 for a restaurant meal on a regular basis is key too.

Can buy a lot of groceries for that.
