Peter.. you've got the right attitude. Sit down.. have a yack and tell him you wouldn't tolerate him openly "petting" with a female in front of you at home either. Tell him there's a time and place for it.. and it isn't in a living room full of family members.

I think there's an aquarium in the lobby of the one in North Bay.....

Great stuff Paul! Always great to see you and the lads and to see you into some fish. Now don't forget some RTV on that rubber strip before it spreads...

First thing I told him Dawg ! ... just lucky I'd left a coat hanger in my spare floater suit.. and that they had a lad that grew up in Smiths Falls available to help them out and a lad from Ottawa (Lloyd) that took over to finish the job when my hands went numb.

Monique noticed a difference yet TJ?

Brian... you been told today ! We are one of the very few North of Barrie that have power. Trees are broken everywhere up here... looks like the ice storm of '98 that went thru the Ottawa Valley.

Well I just drove from Picton home... Barrie on was tretcherous and power is completely out for everyone from 400/93 until Penetang... except for the village of Wyebridge.. a few in Midland and the town of Penetang. Based on broken trees/ power lines down and sagging lines waiting for a tractor tailer to snag... I don't imagine that we'll be on the grid much longer here. We have over a foot of snow in the yard!

Great stuff Carole/Will !

I prefer helium in my tires Bernie. Makes the truck/trailer lighter... better gas mileage!

Great stuff Sean... thanks for the "refresher course" on the Picton ramp this afternoon!

Forgot commas I guess.... "one" as in picture! lol

Here's one.... of my Personal Best catch... and she's holding her's as well (21" smallie)

Depends on the boat.. how the pumps are plumbed etc. I do it so I can continue to muskie hunt thru the freezing months. I'll find my old post and link it here. http://www.ofncommunity.com/forums/index.p...reeze+live+weel

It's not debt to me and all I care about.. If some company in Austria wants to lease me equipment (that at the time was a $1 buy off at the end btw!) I could care less if they are in debt to whom ever supplied them with the raw materials to build said machine. As for "overall system of lending (for profit) is not evil". In one aspect sure it makes the world go round when on a fair playing field.... but when they lend it out at 8 to 15% and only pay you 0.3% to 2% on a savings account (and generally zero on a business account... without some hoop jumping and money moving)...reaping billions in quarterly profits... it sure is evil.

Yes... "they've" always said "you have to have money.. to make money." And if you're talking investments that is pretty much fact. While it may very well be the case in a variety of business proposals as well... I didn't believe it back in 1984/85 and still don't. We started our business with nothing but an idea and the tenacity to think we were young and could always get a job if we fell on our faces. We have never borrowed a dime from a bank, never ran a line of credit, never owed anyone anything. Leased machinery with no money down (100% expense on your P&L vs depreciating if you buy)... raw materials paid in 30 or 60 days..etc. Still doing it 23 years later.

Printing money, with no gold backing it, has gone on for way too long. Now crams statement I have issue with. Yes Welfare is a "hereditary disease".... and I've seen generation after generation in my home town continue the "tradition".... but there's NOTHING stopping you from stepping out and changing that. All it takes is a driven desire...and the attitude that you can do it. The tax "system" works both ways and you can legal play it against them with some foresight and some balls.

..not that there's anything wrong with that ! LOL

Just remember she put your silk pajamas in your tackle box Dan !!

A man boarded a plane with 6 kids. After they got settled, in their seats, a woman sitting across the aisle from him leaned over to him and asked, "Are all of those kids yours?" He replied, "No. I work for a condom company, these are customer complaints."

Don't know who "Matt" is Jon... but I noticed Muskie Landing, at Port Severn, still had their rental boats in when I drove by on Monday afternoon.

misfish... if you're getting hit with trojans you're going to the wrong bars me lad....

What ever you did to it Brian... reverse path and match the other side... otherwise it's gonna wanna pull for the guard rail when you head up the 400 extension.

I tried stuffin some tail once and her father got me with the rock salt....... 12 gauge.... hurts like hell....
