  1. Skip We share alot of similarities, you and I.I too recently returned to fishing after a long absence. My brother has always fished,i took another road, which most of you know. I too started a familly tree awhile ago, but never finished. My direct lineage contains the names White, Loughran, and Brule. Low and behold, i discovered that i was related to Etienne Brule, who also played a huge role in the hsitory of this country. He journeyed up the St Lawerence with the natives, and was the first white person to view Georgian Bay and lake Huron.He was also the translator for Samuel de Champlain. As i read your story, i had goose bumps.It was almost like reading my own story.What a small world it is eh Skipper? I too believe that what we love to do, is genetic, whether it is fishing, painting, hunting or whatever. As in the case of Muskie Mike, my Grandfather and my father were guides in the Rideau system, and the St Lawerence near Gananoque.Although i lost touch with some of my dads brothers, i am sure a few of them are still guiding to this day up there. Thanks for the walk down memory lane Skipper Ya made my day. Tiye Lines Paul

  7. We aint talkin Senior Citizen discount here Bob I could get Golden Ager pricing too, but i refuse to say i'm OLD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  8. Absolutely But every scenario is different.I wouldnt go into WallyWorld and get to the cash and bargain with the cashier though.Or haggle with the clerk at the grocery store over the price of Bush Beans In the classifieds on this site, to me anyways,its like buying from a friend.I would never insult a friend by trying to low ball him.As far as i am concerned, its cheaper than a store, and you dont have to pay tax.
  9. I own a bussiness. I hate it when i get someone coming in and trying to get parts tax free, or haggling.If they say they can get it cheaper elsewhere, i send them elsewhere. if i am in the market for something in the classifieds, i check the NEW price, then if the price in the classified is still too high, that means i dont have enough money to buy it yet, and will wait till i do. Thats me. The wife,however, will negociate till you scream.
