Our Beta fish just landed on my lap

Dave that is one of the downfalls of Yellowknife, as we have saw many had run out of gas thankfully out of imeadiate harms way, but the had at least areas of 2 lane traffic in many areas plus shoulders to pull onto. People would run out of gas leaving our town as well except we have no shoulders on most of our one lane north one lane south highway, the hundreds of vehicles that would run out of fuel would making getting south out of town impossible, hopefully our leaders will start thinking seriously about what needs to be done up here and learn from those down south Thoughts and prayers still going out to those down south

Just saw one of Buffalos dc 4s that was converted last year to a water bomber take to the skies a few minutes ago, hopefully they can lend some much needed support

Not yet Dave, they were doing training exercises air only, but their contracts are not ready yet, hopefully they will be able to over ride some politics and get the planes down there asap

Yes kickingfrog, I would love to help u my family thru my brother spent the 60s, 70s and eighties roaming thru the area, know it extreamely well, my brother who lived there for almost 30 years patrolled the area thru the police we found great places before the advent of computers lol

:good: :good: :good: :good: :good: Damn that looks good , Freeze a slab of that next time and ship it up here it will taste awesome no matter how long it takes lol, enough salt in there to preserve it for a while did u find it more most than the beef

Congrats Brian, you will be able to weave bacon for a long, long time, now go catch some fish

Fantastic composition is an understatement The narrative side alone is priceless, not to mention the pictures which are over the top So sorry I could not meet up with you this time like we did for your prior trip I will make sure we get together on your next trip up take care Drew

Freshtrax I hear u u are going electrical computer maybe. Good thought How empty were gas tanks gas floats over water maybe sucked condensation in but again that would be sheer coincidence. Just a thought. Please Rick let us know the outcome to a very unusual happening

hey shag no thats not tender next skin day , thats just enjoying enjoying much deprived vitamin d we shaved next day with our filleting knife without after shave, and no city slicker balm on our face lol

Thx Dave havent posted for a bit BUT this was one stellar day. Thank you and my wife thanks you not just for being a friend but also a mechanic many times over a confident.....and for helping me through some interesting times lol,,and thank u for giving us the insite to come up here, I will sunburn and sweat for u anytime, dude u rock

I appreciate what u are saying, but things have changed greatly in this country since the 70s and 80s When my grand father went to war it was not for the almighty dollar is was first and foremost to protect the rights and values of this country, whether they came home or not, they knew they would not come home millionairs if they even came home at all, but that was a decision they made even at the costs of family just a few decades later those values were still alive and real for all who were sworn in to look after this country, it just wasnt for a coushy pension, and when stuff hit the fan they were there to protect the people in the area they were responsible for, when they usually on their own arrived at a call many times without radio contact once out of the cars their minds were to protect the people who were being harmed, at that point they were not thinking about their kids or wives..there was an allegence to the oath which unfortunately for many reasons has become watered down, and that is just a fact, because of this it is not expected for some to have to understand nor should they have to, that is the role of a peace keeper This site is amazing for the variety of topics that are raised and discussed, it touches on issues that we all enjoy or have to deal with in life, that is what makes this board so strong

I really appreciate it but after talking with him a few weeks ago which due to his condition I cant now.... because of his wishes he asked that myself and one other brother which are out of province do not come and see him since that would be like making him come to the realization that his last dime is expiring and there is no hope, coppers , the legit ones like military are trained to overcome the situation no matter what, I cant in good faith burst the bubble, his ethic looked after people in this country for over 30 years, even after being shot. but I truly appreciate what your saying

Too bad our towns were not closer, Drifter could fix it,,,he is a brain with feet , he just fixed my auger, amoungst other things

Thanks to all for your support, thanks for the advice and yes Randy there are some good old fashion people on this board that have morals and values and are not afraid to role up their sleeves and getter done and it is NEVER taken for granted, special thanks to all and extra thanks to Miami and of course Big Cliff

MJL your pics rock totally I really zoned in on 2, 4, and 10 2 looks like something Captain Kirk would encounter, flying through the galaxies while manning his spaceship on Star Trek 4 and 10 just plain say if u dont get outdoors u dont know what your missing 2 questions, what type of camera do u use and would u consider making up a callender pm if u wish Awesome kick ass photography, truly over the top, what a treat thanks for sharing

Congrats to all especially the big guys that run and maintain this great machine, oh ya Roy, I to start celebrating the dropping of the ball at times square on new years eve at 10 pm also

Thank you and I will not for vengance but awareness

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and suggestions The weird part is when I first called she being the receptionist asked a bunch of questions which I dont think she has a right to do and I dont mean generic questions about the weather etc which I could see as being some sort of screening BUT my brother is too week to even hold a phone now so one of the workers has to be there anyways, she said she would call back in 10 minutes when she was in the room with my brother The part that got me challenged is when I called back after not hearing from her she started asking the same questions, are u your brothers age, what work did I do in Ontario, what work have u done in Yellowknife etc Then she said I am sorry but I do not recognise your voice , it does not sound the same as when I last talked to you and proceded to babble, I told her no disrespect but I dont want to talk to u I want to speak to my brother At that point my wife even said over the speaker phone What if his brother isint around tomorrow, he is phoning because he loves him A few minutes later my wife phoned back and asked for the supervisors name, my wife was told that individual would be in today being the 17th, and finally someone went to his room so I could hear his voice What a struggle I would not want to see anyones family treated like this, whether from the perspective of the one that is failing or from the ones that are trying to reach out to help and give reassuring words I just got off the phone with the supervisor and she promised to look into the way things were handled and promised to get back to us I am so glad my 90 year old mom is living at my sisters home Thanks everyone for your input, it helped tremendously Now go catch some fish this weekend

I guess u have to put it down to one of those experiences in life, I feel for u for your frustration, but the longer u dwell on something like this years down the road or months down the road u will realize how much precious time on this earth u have wasted, please put it into perspective. Everyones life on this earth is determined and it is not always 100 years, some r 20 or 30 r 50 or 70, make the most of every day, there r no guarantees about tomorrow, dont respond just think about how precious life is even if u dont have your boat for a month, seriously from one who knows, if u have a pulse bonus, if u have friends bonus if u have a girl friend or wife bonus if u have kids bonus if u are working bonus if u r not hospitalized bonus if u still have parents alive bonus, if u get that upset about your boat maybe u should go for a walk and count your blessings while u have them
