Crazyhook, that was extreme. Cool that you had the homies handy, solo would have been another story. It looks like you guys can handle your yaks to the inch, also cool.

I took some pay from the grocery stores in Peterborough about 35 years ago. It was good pay then, and I bet it is still good pay now. Trimming lettuce, celery, cabbage, bagging oranges, unloading freight, culling displays. I even remember a 5 c / lb loss leader on bananas, and catching a semi trailer worth of watermelons, piece by piece. That's why my arms are so long. I got that job by asking for the manager every Thursday for a month, with resume in hand. For jobs like that, that technique works. Good Luck.

That was a fabulous response, Lew. Keep on doing it, pls. I've seen videos of the line/loop method, but I still don't get it. How do you shield the barb with a length of line? Maybe something else is happening but I don't get it.

Happy Birthday, Parker. Are you going to visit S Ontario this summer?

Somebody's gettin' essited! Hope all goes well. Sounds like a great reason for an OFC g2g, the First Annual Spring Welcome Party for Ben. FASWPB. Catchy.

Look for a humidex of 30C this weekend. That's it for spring in Southern Ontario, folks.

Hope the family unit is on the mend, Mike. Another help is to take some probiotics - overwhelm the nasty bacteria with the good ones. They come in capsules that you can get from the drugstore or health food store, and are the same stuffs that you find in some yogurt.

That is one lucky chile, congrats to you and your daughter, and to your wife too. Hope all goes well!

Virus / Bacteria Disambiguation needed. Stat.

Now I'm getting hungry.

TJ is posting again while under the affluence, good times. Kudos to Mercer, de Rose, and those fine fine Subway folks. I'm sure a great time was had by all. Time to take that show on the road, Tref.

Happy Birthday, Brian!

Wow, Mike. Fabulous again. Maybe next time I will be able to tag along *hack sneeze hack*.

Thanks very much, Mike.

I could kill just you, Ace .

I think you are fishing a little too shallow, there.

Hmmmmmm, turcock.

Thanks to Carole, nice job.

See what you can do to transfer your BSc stuff to Professional Engineer status in Ontario by contacting http://www.ospe.on.ca/. That will help tremendously in opening doors.

Tinbanger will give you the lay of the land too. HeadHunter is an employment salesman, a facilitator as it were, with contacts. Don't expect the red carpet these days, especially in southern Ontario. I hope you can travel or relocate. PM me if you would like more information. I wish you every success. Let me know what I can do to help. I think that anyone that can jump in with both feet like this has cojones, and gets respect from right minded folks. OFC has some resources for you, just ask.

I bought gear for a while, most expensive single item was less than $225. Then I decided I oughta get dressed, then bought a Nautilus 1000 floater one piece, and the BP 100 mph goretex suit. The bps suit pushed the record upwards, but it was worth the cheek chewing. If you're not warm and dry, it's not fun for me.

We had a similar thing in North York only a little while ago. This one happened in August. http://www.flickr.com/photos/loneprimate/sets/1791892/

Norm, you are right, I have two daughters. New life is the best thing. Hope, joy and love, all in one little squawling package.
