  1. Man... how many times have I heard this announcement in the last 7 years?? ! ..anyone wanna start a pool??
  2. Rocks... in the delta of the french..
  3. Good to hear Pops is getting a reprieve for a while Mike and that you both put it to good use. Good on ya for putting him on a 'ski. Although I have no doubt, that if I asked your father, it wouldn't have been your skills....
  4. Yah, I figured that Dan. Hard to understand until you get there yourself, as we both have. Wish I could get my brother alone for a lot longer than I'm ever able, he has way too "items" stored in imaginary boxes "to be opened at a later date", thanks to the military. His quint bypass last summer woke him up a bit thankfully.
  5. With all that's going on around you Dan... a GREAT day for sure. My brother is 7 years older... and I share your sediments.
  6. Will I Live to see 80? Here's something to think about. I recently picked a new primary care doctor. After two visits and exhaustive Lab tests, he said I was doing’ fairly well' for my age. (I will soon turn Sixty -Two). A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, 'Do you think I'll live to be 80?' He asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer, wine or hard liquor?' 'Oh no,' I replied. 'I'm not doing drugs, either!' Then he asked, 'Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?' 'I said, 'Not much... my former doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy!' 'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, boating, fishing, hiking, or bicycling?' 'No, I don't,' I said. He asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lots of sex?' 'No,' I said... He looked at me and said,.. "Then, why do you even care?"
  7. Yah think Buck.. GE looking for a 5.5 million dollar payment when they, Sandy Cove, only had about $500k in total retail stock + the boat inventory that wasn't selling. Too many dealers did what they'd done every year and filled their floor with 3rd party finance "floor plans" (boats) and can't make the interest payments in todays market and lack of sales.
  8. What the hell did I start....
  9. ..and that's exactly what killed them in a depressed market.. inventory that they paid for when the US dollar was stronger and couldn't sell. Nobody needs 200 folding boat seats.. that appear to be all in the same friggin colour.
  10. Leaves about 3 hours for work... about right for a Friday. Get me some ss pinapple chicken while you're out!
  11. I'm still not sure why you took Brenda over me my friend, but I'll look the other way this time!
  12. Adco is the building in the "triangle" with all the dirt parking area surrounding it. The boat launch is clear across the street beside the ball diamond. You can see the walk path to it from behind what is a sales office trailer across the street from Adco. This narrow channel is beside the sailing club.. dead center as you come in to the bottom of Midland Harbour.
  13. Need specifics I'll do a google earth shot for you..
  14. Pending the boat size.. someone could even run to the Pete Peterson boat launch dock with the boat and after dropping your truck you can just walk across the road and about 300 feet to the ramp for the ride/fish back to HHarbour.
  15. I still say Salamander eggs.
  16. It will go for wholesale price or better most likely. You'll have every dealer (that's still in business) there bidding. They'll all stop bidding at wholesale and the private guys will take it further. You may or may not save about 40% and then you'll pay a 15% buyers premium. I may go waste a day tomorrow...
  17. Don't sweat the petty things.. and for god sakes don't pet the sweaty things !
  18. The bag with the Stowmaster makes the boat so neat you'll never take that huge net out of the boat. So it's always there the day you tag into that 60 lb Lake Trout the day your fishing for pickeral! I got mine about 3 years ago.. came with the bag but it may have been a promo. I looked last night on line and the bag is a $34.99 option.
  19. Spotted it right away... our yard is full of them and I have to make a quick decission some days.. Rabbit or Groundhog before something goes BANG !
  20. Adco Tire on Vinden St in Midland. Tell John or Dan that I sent you and they'll take good care of you. http://adcotireandauto.ca/
  21. Mine came with the bag for that money or less (read cash).
  22. Also be certain that what you want is actually in Innisfil. The North Bay locations stuff is being sold by Webcast from Innisfil !
  23. Man... if you ever needed a trailer that's the place to be. Gonna be a real long day, suspect they'll be using more than one auctioneer and selling from different areas at the same time so take a friend if you want to buy something. I want this...
