No comments folks?

Great to see Joe again, and compliments on your fine discerning chili palate.

$305 in CTC money? Wow. The cashier must have been ecstatic to get all that stuff back in the till.

Intense post, holdfast, and for good reason.

Thx.

LeXX, that question was what started the research, that and Lake On the Mountain. I've learned that LotM has the same water level, hour by hour, as Lake Erie.

As for the Reach, it was formed from a combination of glacial push to form Sandbanks, tectonic rebound after the glaciers retreated, and some tectonic movement not associated with the other two.

I really have no idea.

It is against the law to subject folks to second hand smoke in bars, restaurants and some other public places. Why would you choose to afford less care to your kids? This is abuse, and will soon be recognized as such. BY EVERYBODY.

I'm still a smoker, btw.

A band of Cayugas in the 1600s lived in a place they called 'Kente', a settlement at the tip of Hay Bay. Since the French were the first Europeans to have contact with that First Nation, they spelled it Quinté.

Here is some early history of the area, and here is the phonetic history of the name.

Just in case you were wondering.

I've had one in the past, Squid, but it has lapsed. Why for you ask?

Glen left Merland Park around 11 am on Sunday morning. He seemed refreshed, with intelligent plans to take it easy on the way home, even spending the night in a hotel. With a total driving time of about 22 hours, we might see a post from him late tonight, but more likely sometime tomorrow.

What would you recommend to go along with a porchetta and provolone gweech?

That's Italian ham and stinky cheese on a Calabrese bun. If you're not down with Calabrese, call it an 'Italian country style' bun. A sangweech.

Thanks, Meely, for the advice and correspondence. Since that icefish trip with Ron, Rattletrap and you 4 years ago, I never go fishing without a bag full of gweeches. Especially since I don't have a boat.

Best to the gweechmaster.

Pretty dang sure I got the self-cleaning option, no worries tho since I got the two week free return guarantee.

"IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, RETURN IT!!!! I MUST BE CRAZY!!!!''

Pls check PMs and please provide update, Glen needs new Depends now. I told him that you will let me know when you plan to arrive.

Thx.

Nope, full title.

I'll look after Glen, make sure he gets tucked in at night, that he dresses warmly, and gets enough to eat. I've already signed the papers.

Emilio,

At 1:15, Glen called to say he was in Whitby, pushing on through to Belleville and then to Merland Park. I wonder if Merland has a spot for him tonight? I guess he could sleep in his truck again.

This guy must be a little excited, even tho he didn't sound excited on the phone. I remember why now, he's from Alabama.

For after dark fishing, just wear some safety glasses, get em from your local hardware store. This sort of PPE would be mandated in any workplace given the hazards of flying hooks. Why would you choose to be less safe than at work?

Great idear.

Or you can check out those $$$ coffees, catsh!t coffee (go ahead: 20,000 googles) at $600 / lb.

Go on, get outah here.

More Catsh!t Coffee.

Lake Arenal, cool. If you like to windsurf, that is prime. And the volcano as well. That must have been an incredible trip, rainforests and waterfalls and toucans and mountains and everything. Bougainvillea too.

Best coffee I've enjoyed was out of a 2 gallon dispenser at the breakfast buffet in Ocho Rios. I'm sure it wasn't the best, but it was delicious. It tasted a lot like coffee, most don't.

It seems that the best Jamaican coffee can be had for 30 - 50 $ / lb. That seems a little steep, guessing at 30 - 40 cups per pound. Then again, I pay a buck a cup for coffee made from sweepings a coupla times every day.

Get out the grinder, RLG. We gonna kick the java up a notch.

Is there a hyphen in anal retentive?

I sure miss those rods that were designed for 'serious fishing'. Also Campbelford, missing that too.

Sure. Odds are pretty good at this point.

Very nice, Joanne. Tell us all the details on the weekend, 'k?
