I had a fun weekend...NOT! Trying to make my lawn look better.....from this..... To this.... Pulled a thousand dandelions out of the lawn.....spread 32 bags of soil...and overseeded. If this doesn't work then I'm pouring a concrete slab in the entire yard!

Crazy crazy pictures!!! Those carp in the parking lot is pretty amazing to see....

After the rains yesterday I took a drive down to the Whitby pier.....first ran into this on the way down on Brock Street.... Turned around and went the long way around and when I got there I was amazed at the water....it's usually 3 feet below the pier.

I've seen a few threads here and there showing flooding or high water levels. Thought it may be interesting to combine pics in one thread. I saw the pics floatnfly posted about the Whitby pier...and I was blown away! So let's see them! What's the status of the water level in your area?

Thanks for posting SirCranksaLot! Looks like Nipissing is about to break up.... Get your boats ready!

Southern Ontario looks pretty much wide open now....happy boating everyone!!

Welcome to the jungle Chad! Thanks for your help in keeping this board going. It's much appreciated!

Looks like the Kawarthas and most of Lake Simcoe has opened right up!

Thanks for the updates everyone! Cant wait for warmer weather to get the boat back in the water!

Wow....Simcoe really opened up a lot since the weekend!

I started a new career about a year and a half ago. On my last paycheque I noticed I got more money than usual so I looked at my statement closely. Turns out I got an out of cycle raise for the work I've done and I will still get the regular annual merit increase next month. What a nice surprise that was!

That's a cool site Bernie!

Updated image from March 22nd. Despite the cold weather, the wind seemed to keep things open in areas that have current. Be safe everyone!

It's that time of year, where ice can become unsafe pretty quickly. Modis captures come pretty awesome pictures of the lakes and I thought I'd start posting them here once again. This image was taken yesterday. Part of Scugog and Rice seem to be breaking up now....and many of the areas in the Kawarthas. Be safe out there!!!

Absolutely terrifying.... I'm always a bit jittery when I'm in a vehicle on the ice....I always have my seat belt off just in case I ever have to get out in a hurry....

I got back from Jamaica in January. Loved it all. The people, the food and service. We were at a no tipping resort and the staff went out of their way to help. (If they accept a tip they can be fired). Always with a smile on their face and a chat if you were inclined. We have already planned our next trip for next winter!

I didn't want to be too obvious...lol

Here are some pics from the weekend! Always a fantastic time up at Bernie's place. Having a nice comfy bungalow to fish in was awesome!

I just heard the news. To say I was shocked is an understatement. My daughter just mentioned her last night as we were grocery shopping. She saw some cheese and said "when I see that I always think of that nice lady who let me go inside their ice fishing hut to get warm. She gave me cheese." Joey was an amazing woman. I'm saddened to hear this news. Rip Joey. You are definitely missed.

Wow! That's really cool! Well done!

Here are my favourites

Congratulations to both of you!!

Lew....you are still a fisherman....just like you are still a firefighter. Just because you don't "do" that anymore doesn't mean you are a changed person. You've taught me a lot over the years and for that I am thankful. Good luck and have fun in this new phase of your life!!

You will fit right in here! Welcome!
