Eye candy at wreck beach.

Opps sorry. Just seen that your only interested in salt water. If your going on the Island, excellent salt water fishing around the Sooke area.

you may want to fish the Fraser or Vedder River and a good place to start is Fred Helmers Tackle shop in Vedder Crossing Chilliwack. That is if you got the money http://www.freds-bc.com/about.html He'll guide you for either Sturgeon, Steelhead, Salmons, Cut throat or Rainbows. It all depends whats running. If you fish Chilliwack Lake you may catch some Kokannee or Dolly Varden. Get your self a Chilliwack Phone Book and check out the guides.

Maybe this will get locked and disposed of because ITS PATRIOTIC AND CANADIAN

Leave it be. We like it that way.

Just wondering for who and what branch.

Little early for this, but never the less, sure makes you think.

Holy Darsky, I thought you were dead. When are you going to visit me to figure out the prob with our Habs? Yup agree with the thread Epic

Again I was Tasked to Assist the Engineers in Winnipeg in their Training. So I had to take Friday off from my job and unfortunately take up a vacation day in order to meet my timings on Friday. I haven't had a Vacation since March Break in 2006 the year I retired from the Reg Force. Now I'm slowly taking away my days vacations that I finally earned in 3 years in order to commit my time for our young Soldiers. Off to Winnipeg then a 3 hour drive to Camp Shilo, the home of the Artillery and PPCLI and once the German Army as part of NATO commitments. The weather was cold and Rainy, seems we may see another Red River Flood again. Anyways here's a few Pics in case anyone is interested. Of course these pics are in taste and not restricted as help for Omar and his friends. The Engineers are attached to the Armour, so they were able to fire their machine guns both static and moving that were mounted on top of the G wagons. Unfortunately, our reserve armoured troops have no tanks to train with and probably never will so they have to play tanker using the jeeps. As one Armoured NCO eluded to me, seems Canadians would rather spend money on the CBC, Arts, or other countries than have his guys train with the proper equipment. G wagons lining up Static Firing Once the Engineers finished firing they were off to practice cratering using explosives. Cratering is used to Deny or Slow the the enemy on a piece of ground. We will Crater runways, roads, open areas, fording sites, bridge approaches, or any where else that the enemy might want to use a piece of ground. We may not stop the enemy, but putting up obstacles against him will alow our Troops time to dig in to channel the enemy into a kill zone. Its up to the Combat Engineers to do this. We will either make or break the Commanders Battle Plan. This is why "we cant do it" is not in our vocabulary. We have to do our task no matter the odds. The Battle group depends on us to do our job. Here is a simple Basic Charge. A block of C4, frapped with yellow Det cord. Only thing missing to set this off is a detonator and time fuse ( initiation set) Because the ground is frozen, we have to use BeeHives which are shaped charges that will put a 2-4 meter hole in the ground so we can prime it with bulk explosives which will be Trigram. ( Explosive pellets). A beehive works with the fact that once it is initiated it will send a molten slug through the ground. We will be using 30lb and 16lb beehives. This is a 30lb beehive that is ready to explode. We found that it works better if we add more height on the stand off. So we added height by mounting it on the crate. Close up of the nose cone. We inserted a det cap with det cord in the nose Here we are going to try an experiment by adding a second beehive on top of another to try to get a deeper hole. I lost the bet as it was successful. I figured it would just smash the ground or produce a hole that would cave in. These are the 16lb Beehives that will give it a smaller diameter hole. Here the troops are laying out detcord to the multiple beehives. We are going to rig it up so they all explode simultaneously( One Boom) We walked about 150 meters and found some low ground before the Boom Here's the result from the smaller beehive. A perfect hole which now can be filled with bulk explosive to produce our crater. So now we are going to fill the hole with Trigram and use water to tamp it down. We will use 36 KG of explosives plus the basic charge. The Basic charge which is being loaded in the chamber will initiate the trigram. This lone crater is about 5 meters in depth as well as width. We would make a crater group to cover more ground. Once the crater is produced, we the Engineers would hurriedly return to confirm the obstacle then mine it to impede the enemy from breaching the obstacle. Then we would carry on to the next task. I noticed that the threads on the insulting fox news story about our Brave Canadian Soldiers were quickly locked which really dissipoints me but I am not surprised as it would be uncool to really say how we felt. Bull. Wish I could of put my two cents in. it wouldnt of been Politically correct to most of you.

Wrong, Wrong. And Double Wrong O They started the plunge when they got close to the Western Road Trip. Im sure there were alot of legs and stomachs shaking when it was evident that they had to play the Big Bad Western Old Style Canadian Hit em grind em Hockey teams. Sure enough they lost all thir games except one close one. Im telling ya the teams thought they won the bingo game knowing the Canadians were coming to their rink. The brothers you speak of and Hammer -Licks other guys tushes, needed some courage in the form of white snow.

Man oh Man I smell that the price of gas is going up like never before at the pumps. Are those big huge Gas guzzlers really worth it. Greed is here to stay. So expect over $2 a litre gas at 90 dollars a barrel, that's what we are heading for. We are 20 cents more than yourselves, but you know Ontario pumps smell the difference.

I think a Stanley Cup means nothing to most of the players. The priority is to cross the pond as soon as possible and be with their families. Yup no size up front, A captain that is there only as a figure head. Nobody to fire then up. Cowering to the more aggressive teams. A Goalie that's totally lost confidence in himself and defenseman that let the opposition have their way in the crease. Nobody that can hit except Komerserik. Nobody that knows how to hit. They'd rather yap, than physically come to the aid of a team mate. In one case, one player would rather go to the league and cry harassment then being a man and fending for himself. All in All, a bunch of Wussies, that should go back and learn to play hockey in the Western and American leagues. Last but not least, terrible drafts and trades. To much politics on the team now. Unfortunately they do not have the first and soul picks of Quebec players anymore.

LOL DIVE DIVE DIVE DIVE DIVE DIVE DIVE Any guesses to their choking? I have a few but Id rather hear yours.

Yea neat video, liking the Grandpa

Still not working maybe because of my antivirus protection. Whats the name of the song or video, maybe its on U-tube

Funny report on the The Boat launch Bozos Beauty Crappie. Yea and I know how it feels to get a big hit when there are possible huge Cats around. Excitement at its finest.

Video is not working at least for me

Lets see, choice, VAN OR SUV Think Ill go for the van as it is at least $15,000 cheaper than an SUV Why -Price -Room -It'll tow -ground clearance, Most SUVs are the same, off roading- dont do much so the price is more important - keeping up with the Jones next door- who cares they can have their SUV as the money I saved will pay for mortgage and gas - Hey I can even sleep in it without pitching a tent the next time I roll into a lake at 0 Dark thirty

Best Drags on the market

Let me remind you that, he lied to my Boss who thankfully can see past this guy whom I'm sure knows more about him than I do. Let me also say, that I caught him BSing me more than once and his MS story about his wife, which she clearly has, has no excuse for him driving illegally. But what kills me is he actually thought that the Cop was out of li8ne for ticketing him and prohibiting him from driving. In his own words, the least he could of done is drive his wife to the Hospital. I wasn't there, but I'm assuming the Cop was acting Professional with the public safety in mind. Am I getting a kick watching this guy work, you betcha, and I'm learning that he has a lot of dead Braincells for a man that is my age. Don'T give me the Poor little helpless guy act. Ive seen a lot of excuses and Bull crap in my Professional Career. As a Soldier in a Leadership role, your part Social worker as well as father figure to your guys, otherwise they will not follow you. They have to respect you if your going to Order them in a Minefield or lay their life on the line. Oh, Loyalty is another huge factor. Trust me, I don't feel sorry for this Guy. Yes, I do get a kick out of your comments, I like seeing the opposite side of things which you clearly are. Kind of wonder what kind of person you are, Weak, Mis Guided?, easily offended, Maybe you have issues yourself that pains you. Keep me Guessing. Clearly your not military material, but your not alone. Just remember every country has a Military, if it ain't theirs, Its SOMEONE ELSES.

Try a color Wax and if it don't work, a professional touch up might be in order unless you can stand an unprofessional touch up with what Ive tried my self.

Wow, Brings back good memories, (My Best) when we were all a family together as kids in Vermont. Peanuts (a prince of an old man) maybe with the same last name as Yours Roy, is it French? decided to shoot some Carp that entered the flooded back field from lake Champlain. I never seen fish so Big in my life, that swam around and around with its dorsal fins just above the surface like a shark. Ole Peanuts about four foot nothing decided he was going to shoot these Carp with his Double Barrel shot gun. I was an awestruck 8 year old watching this guy blasting a Carp to Obliteration with me standing beside him. Wow, a Huge explosion of water no more than ten feet from me and ole Peanuts just about landed on his aasss. Funny though, I always wondered where the Carp went as they completely disappeared from the Back field. One of these Days Ill tell you a story when Ole Peanuts scared the crap out of me on the Drive to help him cut grass at his Hunting Camp. I thought I was going to die

Ok, Can I call you Sweety. Since you like bringing up Crap that is only intended to disrespect and accuse, why don't you be the Big Man and give me examples of being Racist. Remember what a racist is. So, when have I oppressed, cause prejudice, or incited violence against, I guess a Different color or Language than myself. Lets go Mouth Piece, Prove it.
