On the bucket list for sure!

Just noticed my Outdoor Card expired today. Thought I was supposed to have received a renewal letter. Anybody else in same boat ?

Lew, I can't see your rod dragging a plug. I hear you like trolling fast. ?

Merry Christmas, good health and tight lines everyone! Peter

In 2007 when I bought my boat, had a choice. 115 hp Merc, E-tec, or Yammy. Merc had just started making their power heads. (Formerly used a Yammy head). E-tec was fairly new but on paper made the most sense with performance and minimal maintenance required. I am always nervous about new products. Usually bugs to fix for the first few years. I went with Yammy and paid $1K extra. 7 yrs later and about 1000 hrs. So far fo good. Maybe an E-tec would have been the way to go ?

Beautiful shot of your boy Cherrish these times.

Just got back from checking the cottage on Pigeon Lake. Froze over with flat ice. A guy out there ice sailing. Gannon Narrows wide open

No need to spend $300. Try the new Symetre. I used to think the Sahara was good too. Now I know better

Nice. What are those?

Varethane comes in satin. Only slightly shiney Will need 3-4 coats. Dries in an hour. Very tough. Protects from spills, oils from fingers etc. used it a lot. Can also use oils like tung oil or wax polish .

You aren't going to finish with a water based varethane?

Ya. Paid them a visit today. 15% off only for Club Members Reg price for the rest of us. ?

You guys rock. 10 inches is just the way it is for some of us. Would hate to put it thru a snowblower though

Forecast was for about 10 cm here in Stouffville. Weatherman just as bad in winter as he is in summers it seems. Stay out of the ditch Peter

Lots of good advice. LIVE WITHIN YOUR MEANS Pay yourself first. Save 10% first. Automatic withdrawal, Live on 90%. Get out of debt. Highest interest rate debt first. RRSPs if you will be earning less money after retirement than now. -there will be a tax advantage. Some financial advisors recommend interest earning investments in RRSP Stocks outside of RRSP ( capital gains will be taxed at at 50% when sold rather than in RRSP where taxed at 100%) Max out TFSA AVOID equity (stocks) mutual funds. Way too expensive . You will pay 2-2.5% per year on the total amount whether they go up or down. 60% of these funds don't beat the exhanges (TSX, DOW, Nasdaq etc) because of these fees. You can buy theses exchanges thru ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) for .05%. No research and analysts to pay for. My concern is, the whole world economy is deeply in debt and fragile. Some say there is a huge collapse coming in the future. It might get ugly. Like money is worthless. Food. Land. Maybe gold. In the mean time, you have to be in the stock market. Interest accounts don't even cover inflation. Work hard. Don't get sick. Fish more. You'll be good

somebody has to pay for things just be glad things aren't censored like in China / N Korea

spectacular

Beauti report. Need to ask. Those Atlantics. Are they residents of Lake Huron or Michigan? Didn't think Ontario stocked them in Huron. They run upstream in the St Mary to spawn?

thanks Drifter. pretty dark up there these days?

Awesome. So those bows. Are they local river fish or do they live in the ocean?

You Guys are die hards.
