  1. 23 for 33.. we've never boated 23 fish in the full 3 or 4 days! I guess I'm the boat jinx and all this time we thought it was Terry!! .. oh wait.. maybe it's Dano.. he's not there either, poor bugger... surgery on Wednesday.
  2. Good to hear Paul and Joey are joining you for supper. Must be lonely over there in the honeymoon suite at mouse turd resort...
  3. A post and a phone call.. where is that bottle of El Dorado Deluxe Silver...
  4. Like I said.. he does not hunt the property.. he only has permission to follow thru on something he has shot and it's bolted..
  5. As I stated a way back in this thread... another nuclear plant or two is what we need. It has less impact on the environment than all these offshore produced solar panels. Google why they aren't made in MOE controlled countries....
  6. Be forwarned.. I had my regular hunter come by the door for permission to follow thru and use the lower gate to the property. I said sure.. because he brings me crappie and walleye fillets.. what's a guy to do !! LOL He doesn't hunt my property.. but does hunt the property on both sides.
  7. Good to hear it went well and you're in good Spirits Mike. One day at at time... the moto in the household here and it will work for you to.
  8. Scratch that... who forgets it's their wifes birthday.. LOL.. better now than after he comes back in the boat to changed locks!!
  9. Just remember guys it's not the cents per kw that kills you these days.. it's the delivery costs. Estimated bill for the camp up North last month.. A meer $8.06 for hydro used... $26.12 cents for delivery.. $1.10 for "regulatory charges".. and 80 cents for paying down the old debt... $4.69 HST.. Total $40.77 for $8 worth of hydro!! Based on that hydro is really 32.5 cents per Kilowatt.
  10. Well Andy and I will try to be quiet as we RIP down the laneway with the boat!!!
  11. Thanks guys... I have them stuffed and hanging upright from the belt straps, as per the mfg, off one of my block and tackles in the shop. Probably move them to a closet when Leah's not looking! lol Thanks NBR.. I knew I was the cause of the permature demise of the last pair..laziness can be costly.
  12. Last pair I had where the Red Head completely rubber ones.. I left them in the airplane and they cracked front and back on the crease lines. Pair I bought last year to replace them have the nylon inners and outers with rubber sandwich.. I've stuffed them full of paper to keep their shape, like I should have done with the last pair, but should I be spraying them with silicon, shoe waterproofer or the likes?? Product description: stretchable 3-ply construction sandwiches a resilient layer of special ozone-resistant rubber between two layers of lightweight 3-ply nylon jersey for 100% abrasion-resistant waterproof protection. The rubber layer resists cracking and deterioration to give you years of dependable use. Soft sponge rubber lining adds insulation. Reinforced cushioned knee pads soften the blow when kneeling. THANKS !!!
  13. Yah.. it's right up there with Lloyd sending me a text message at 7:48 to say 5 fish in the boat!!
  14. Still out there Brian.. hard and crispy.. and you went to work, didn't ya !!
  15. Probably brining the road.. going to -4 or -7 tonight. Snow has stayed up here.. maybe the great white hunters can follow the tracks..
  16. Take the road from Picton to Deseronto.. on your way to Perfect View.. You'll see the stores on the highway after coming over the bridge... if you wanna smoke thatshat..
  17. It really is Frankie... room is BOOKED.. boat is FULLY EQUIPPED. . you need nothing but your fishing licence and wallet to pay your share of the room, a bit of boat gas and your food.. as this isn't a charter. It was a bunch of friends going fishing for the last weekend before the boat gets towed home. I usually do that.. but Terry's little Dodge is gonna try it this round...
  18. There definitely is Rob.. 73 cents per KW! LOL There is so much money in it that a company approached my Father in law and they will build him a brand spanking new horse barn.. 80 feet wide x 160 feet long just so they can put solar panels on the roof. Absolutely no charge to him!! That's at minimum a $150,000 barn!
  19. They screwed us all, strik, after Ontario Hydro was "handed over" to Hydro One.... while they were bound by regulation to x cents per kilowatt and having to get permission for price per kilowatt raises... they changed from charging an $18.95 Service Charge for delivery to property whether you used it or not.. to a delivery charge based on use + hidden costs + debt pay down. This side of the bill is generally more than the usage side now and with apparently no regulation as to how they come up with those amounts. That is how your bill more than doubled in the past 4 years. I'm in the same boat.. ours use to be around $300 per month....and the price per kw really hasn't changed significantly over the years. And no I'm not a nieve consumer.. I'm an Electro-Mechanical Engineer and can probably calculate the load in the house within a few amps without getting out one of my, 3, amp probes. Oh.. and I truly do know whom I am paying. I wouldn't let a second class marketer within 100 feet of the door. That gives me 1100 feet to sight him in after he enters the property!
  20. Go back a bunch of posts... I am paying Hydro One.. no marked up marketer pricing. Where exactly do you think the 80 cents per Kilowatt they are paying everyone that puts up a solar panel is going to come from?? .. you really aren't that programmed or nieve are you? ..and as for the digital meter being more accurate, the only one it may benefit is Hydro One. The old movement meters would slow as the bearings wore out. My own.. no changes in monthly consumption readings when the smart meter was installed.
  21. The odd one comes to the door Brian.. the smart ones can read the sign on the gate that states we shoot every third solicitor...
  22. They programmed you well Mr Fisher... "Shift most of your consumption". Who's kidding who.. Fridge runs 24 hours a day.. furnace circulation fan runs 24 hours a day. Heat no matter the source runs 24 hours a day. The only variable there is is when you do your laundry! So all those things that run 24 hours a day are going to cost more once we get on TOU.. no matter how you look at it. It's a grab and then it's going to go thru the roof to pay for this rediculous spread to cover that 73 cents / KW they're paying solar farms etc. Just build another couple nuclear plants, they have less imprint on the earth and polution than the offshore production of those panels.
