Is that the Axe Lake near Parry Sound?

Ya, like Barney sez, we are friendly folks, but picky on a few things. Reading FAQs is a good idea for a new member to any message board.

Whew. Me too, Brian, the tears that is. Prayers? You got em.

Best to you and your family.

Cubs and Scouts for me. Learned how to light a fire with one match, or even no matches, how to pick a spot for a tent and pitch it, how to canoe, sail, kayak. How to tie all sorts of knots, first aid, and basic survival skills. All in Peterborough.

Great to have you back, Adam. Stick around this time, 'k?

If you want your post count restored, send Rick a pm with a number and hey presto.

I like this one Pam. It uses lime rather than lemon, essential to salsa imo.

Blend jalapeño, cilantro and garlic until fine.

2 jalapeño peppers, to start with

4 sprigs of cilantro

2 to 3 garlic cloves

Add the onion and bell pepper to above mixture and whirl until chunky.

¼ onion, coarsely chopped

¼ green bell pepper, coarsely chopped

Next I add tomatoes to above mixture and blend until chunky.

4 to 5 roma tomatoes

Lastly I add lime juice and salt to taste.

juice of ½ a lime

salt, to taste

The salsa has a bit more body if you remove the juicier bits of the tomatoes first.

A nice partner to the salsa if you are serving with nachos is guacamole.

YUM!

That depends on the wind strength, direction, your launch point etc. It looks fine for most fishable conditions, but would have some difficulty fishing those six foot swells we get if the wind is from the south, or worse, from the east.

Best news there is. Good job, Mom!

Carole, you expect us to believe you got skunked? HAH! Cool turtle tho.

Thanks for sharing those great pictures, Jen. What a great weekend you had!

That's a good article that explains why you need salt in your preparation, otherwise you get leather.

With this unit, there is one cable that connects both battery and transducer to the finder. Some distance from the connector, the cable splits into a 'Y', enabling you to not have to mount the transducer on the battery.

Find and follow the wiring until you find the spot where the cable splits, and then find them battery clips. There might not be a good battery attached to them.

More Info.

Hope this hleps. Remember, don't believe everything people tell you on the interwebs.

Congratulations to both of you on Gillian's carp, and the upcoming special arrival!

The portrait of your lovely wife is stunning. The serenity and beauty of a mom to be was captured beautifully in that photo. Thanks for sharing that.

They was good. Steaming in the foil first, coated in the dry rub, is definitely the way to go.

*burp*

I've got two racks o ribs, coated with Snowball's dry rub, wrapped air tight in two layers of foil, on the cool side of the barbie. The temp indicator is showing 275 F, and I'm only using one of the five burners turned down to low.

In two and a half hours, I'll put them directly on the grill to finish with Snowball's bbq sauce.

Attaboy, Roy. Trolling walleye in the propwash again?

I'll be spending the day with a saw in the backyard, but first I gotta drag the stuff out of the neighbour's back yard and over the fence.

If you are clearing brush with PI in it, don't burn it whatever you do. The irritant oil gets airborn and if you breathe some of the smoke into your lungs, you gotta whole world of hurt ahead of you.

I'm very sensitive to the stuff and when I was a kid, could have added some photos to that gallery. Now, I keep antihistimines and cortisone cream handy. If it's more than just a few blisters, I go to the doc for prednisone pills. Clears it up in a day, with relief from the crazy itching in just a few hours.

Just to let everyone else in on the joke, Nemo and I were both skunked during our last trips to Algonquin.

A hearty Attaboy!.

Loser.

Sounds like it was caught out of Lake Diefenbaker in Saskatchewan. Can you imagine breaking your own world record?

That site is blocked here. Will anyone please host that picture somewhere else, like the photo gallery, and post it here, please?

Thanks.

Atta girl, Carole. Most impressive, especially for a female.

I meant the fish.

New life is the best news in the whole world. Congratulations to Steve, Kristi and the Mighty Coop.

I've asked for recommendations from folks from some fishing message board or something. I'll let you know how it works out in about a month.
