I went through a three day outage a few years back in May. Prior to the event I had gone for the most economical generator I could find. Having been through it now, I can tell you the following: - Dont discount what people are saying about the noise. It was very, very annoying by the second night having a noisy engine running outside your house and it impacted our sleep. The quieter the model, the better you and your neighbors will sleep. - You will need to have Jerry cans of fuel on site and if the fuel capacity on the generator is too low, you will have to set an alarm to get up and fill it before my morning. Not fun, but better than losing a freezer full of food. - You wont be able to find the model you want anywhere near you following a local event, so make your purchase when the weather is nice, the forecast is good, and stocks are available. - Get your good quality extension cords of suitable length that youll need at the same time you purchase your generator and know where you are keeping them. - I dont know if anyone mentioned sump pumps, but thats another thing you may want to power if you have one, especially since the power-loss event may have also been a heavy rain event.

Very sorry hearing this.

Arent there alternative ways of constructing ladders so that the steps and pools maintain a certain depth of water in the case of a situation where the flow stops?

With prop marks probably being just one of those vehicle's many problems, is there a way to properly salvage a submerged vehicle so that it will actually run again? I've wondered the same thing about vehicles that have dropped through the ice, or got stuck around the lower Don after a severe thunderstorm.

It wouldn't, but there's normally nothing going on to make some people want to fix their gaze there. People are curious, and curiosity leads to risk-taking. In the path of totality during the eclipse (not in Canada this time) it will actually become fairly dark during totality and your pupils will dilate in the darkness. If you aren't careful with the timing, the sun is then going to instantly pop back into view from behind the moon, and you can certainly experience eye damage under those conditions.

The path of totality nearest to us will be from Nashville over to South Carolina. It will actually get dark like night there for a couple of minutes. Around here, where it will be a partial eclipse, an approaching dark thunderstorm probably has a more dramatic effect on the fishing. Please do let us know if you notice any change though.

I grabbed a madtom once while catching minnows as a teenager. That was the most painful spine jab I ever received, way worse than that from a bullhead. Ouch.

I'm not sure about the rainfall amount ( it poured ) but each successive lightning overlapped the previous one, so the thunder was non stop for about 40 minutes. That was in the Kawarthas.

Philosophical thought: What if we are all becoming like that and only the person trying to get our attention knows about it? None of us would know because we'd be...um...oblivious.

This has been hashed out here before: http://ontariofishingcommunity.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=63600

The water is chilly: between 8 and 11 C most places I checked today. The good news is that means the best is yet to come, likely.

In the current rainfall warning for Peterborough (available at the time of writing here: http://weather.gc.ca/warnings/report_e.html?on8#142333685242956370201705040503ww1171cwto) it lists some of the rainfall totals received as of 2pm, including the east gate of Algonquin. They haven't had nearly as much rain there as other places (so far): Rainfall totals as of 2 PM: Trenton 51.8 mm Coburg 48.3 mm Point Petre 40.9 mm Kingston 35.1 mm Peterborough 33.8 mm Bancroft 25.3 mm Algonquin Park East Gate 17.6 mm

I'm pretty sure I saw a walleye with a lamprey attached this morning. I don't think I've every seen that on a walleye before.

There's some hefty female walleye passing by on the live Wolf River fish cam this morning, so spring has definitely arrived there. http://www.wolfrivercam.com/wrc20171a_002.htm Others: http://www.wolfrivercam.com/

I think some people ask to try and gauge the amount of pressure the seller is under, or how urgent it is that they make the sale. That way, they hope to get a feel for how likely it is that a counter-offer will be accepted.

What jumped into my mind was that you could set up a line in that gap between the disk and the rest of the lake and troll a lure.

A similar rule is in place for a minnow trap which requires "license holder's name and address." Since you have to have a recreational fishing license to legally trap bait, I don't know why they just don't require the license # on the trap, rather than force people to place personal information there. If drone's don't require a license/registration, then there is no cross-reference database to identify the owner the way there is for a fishing license. On the other hand, if a license/registration were required, no doubt it would cost money. Drones probably don't have a heritage argument going for them against license or registration.

No, I'm not stating that and I made no mention of Sturgeon Lake at all, only Scugog. Regulations: "Lake Scugog, including waters south of Highway 7A, Blackstock Creek, Nonquon River; as well as the Scugog River to the Trent Severn Dam in Lindsay, Mariposa Brook and East Cross Creek. - Walleye Closed All Year" Sturgeon Lake is below (downstream of) the dam in Lindsay and the Scugog River flows from Lake Scugog to Sturgeon Lake. The Scugog River on the Sturgeon Lake (downstream) side of the Lock in Lindsay, however, is closed for an extra week beyond the regular open season for walleye in Zone 17. That fish sanctuary doesn't open until the 3rd Saturday in May. Do your own due diligence in checking the regulations.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but the 2017 regulations have cleared this up. "Lake Scugog, including waters south of Highway 7A, Blackstock Creek, Nonquon River; as well as the Scugog River to the Trent Severn Dam in Lindsay, Mariposa Brook and East Cross Creek. - Walleye Closed All Year" People were witnessed catching and keeping walleye in 2016 at three locations that have now been clarified as closed for walleye fishing in 2017: Above the dam in Lindsay, underneath the "iron bridge" in Lindsay, and at the Cross Creek bridge south of Lindsay on River Road (East Cross Creek).

The 2017 regulations are more explicit on what areas are included in the "Closed All Year" walleye closure. The regulations now state "Lake Scugog, including waters south of Highway 7A, Blackstock Creek, Nonquon River; as well as the Scugog River to the Trent Severn Dam in Lindsay, Mariposa Brook and East Cross Creek."

What do you figure...about $682,000.00 to insulate, install duct work and convert to gas?
