  1. I don't have just one, but aside from his better-known epic tunes, Summer Side of Life is a favourite of mine.
  2. This has all the makings of a classic..... :jerry:
  3. Loved the Yardbirds, and all things Clapton. Good to see him with these guys... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=askw_TvY0sU&feature=related
  4. Garland Jeffreys http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJe_qZCxPao
  5. Wow! don't forget Leroy Sibbles! I spent ton of time at the Bamboo, best roof top in town, amazing food and a great place to hang out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udqpoYV1LOQ
  6. Gosh, I'll never forget that album. Meanwhile, elsewhere in 1977...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KXXrzEHpE8
  7. ^^^^^ I have the same vice! I used a hardwood door I bought at Restore. The 30" depth was about right, and the length worked well. I suggest including a backsplash if you are doing work with small parts; it helps keep them on the bench.
  8. I always wear the same hat..... and days I haven't, well, I love the hat but it doesn't make a single bit of difference!
  9. Indeed, nice chrome and nice gear to boot!
  10. Gold http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKppSotWL3o
  11. Best and worst game ever, all rolled into one!
  12. I've never been a hard water guy. Have to try to get out on Simcoe this year and get some perch, though!
  13. I would like to go to my home town of Hawkesbury and fish muskies
  14. Music and/or movies?
  15. For me, it's not the strength itself that makes braid the only type of line Ilike to use anymore, it's the sensitivity. The non-stretch aspect makes both the previous generations of braids, as well as the new stuff a long way better than mono. When it comes to fraying, most all of them will to one extent or another anyway. You just have to check it and re-tie more frequently. I can live with that.....
  16. I spent over 20years on Bay St, a big chunk of it dealing with institutions: Investment councilors, Insurances companies, and trust companies. The people with whom I dealt were tightly held to constraints that governed the types of businesses they could invest in, and these people, charged with the responsibility of investing on behalf of others, took, and still take their responsibility very seriously. Where the astonishing level of malfeasance has taken place in the financial industry has been in the corporate finance space that deals with the fixed-income and attached derivative industry in Canada, and the mortgage lending industry in the US. This is not news. The investment bankers involved have always been paid on profits, and that area of the business represents the final frontier of the industry. It has never been heavily regulated, and the players you're up against are some brilliant individuals. They have stolen from the "Common Man" more times than you know, and under circumstances that most people would have to work for years to understand. They're not the only industry to have ever done so, and yes, some of them should be in jail. That said, the protest we see today is so fragmented, and so diluted, that to me, it seems all but pointless. Now, back to the real issue at hand. In two weeks I'll be back up in Georgian Bay. I'm gonna stop off to see that real good guy who runs Mactier Bait and Tackle, and buy the biggest minnows he has. Do you think I'll be dealing with turnover by then? PS, the Feds pledged and quietly lent about $100 billion to Canadian chartered banks from 2008 through 2010. It's all been paid back.
  17. Nice work all around! Gotta say the fish in the second picture is absolutely beautiful!

  19. There you go, another reason to never throw ANYTHING away!
  20. Simon, I'm sorry to hear of this. My condolences and prayers to you and your family. Chris
  21. Another vote for Lightning Rods. A pal has one with a Pflueger Arbor on it. Nice light, fun combo that doesn't break the bank.
  22. I would definitely fish Woods Bay on the way over to Blackstone. You might remember to be careful of the entrance to Blackstone, it's a little tight. I fish jerkbaits about 90% of the time, and they work for me but won't tell you what to throw, so you can make up your own mind, but white, silver and perch colours work for me for bass and pike in those waters, and black for big fish. Good Luck!
  23. I fish Sans Souci/Moon River Basin, and a foot sounds just about right compared to a month ago.
  24. I never owned an apple computer (except for my iphone), but even if you only consider itunes, he at very least changed the way most of us buy media and software. We have been fortunate to have him and his imagination around.
  25. All the Clint Eastwood movies, and Shane. Best western ever!
