Beans

Nice mess of fish there Glen...Enjoy !!!

Geeze...now I'm cornfused...I googled wasps last fall as there was a nest in the crawlspace under the house that I wanted to remove...It said that all but the queens die off (hibernate) each winter so I waited a long time for cold enough weather to do its thing and sure enough...no wasps to be found...I cant believe they ate through the nylon screen to get under there...will use wire screening for replacement... If what Yellowboat sez is right...what you have is all queens so don't let them get too warm or you will end up with your own private aviary(sp?)... Where did the spell-check go ???

Maribeth and I wish you and Sue a great holiday... You sure deserve one... BTW...did I ever mention that ''work'' is a four-letter word

I figured I should give up chasing fast women and betting on slow horses this year but decided to concentrate on how I could reverse the order...

Right back at ya Jack... I guess a "wild" night in store ?

Don't wish to burst your bubble Lew but...I don't think we have seen the last of old man winter just yet... BTW...G'Mornin Mate...I'm going back for a few more

Good to hear you are well...been a while since you sent any jokes... Didn't you hear of having an annual check-up ? It's my dentist I fear most not my doctor...She reminded me last visit that it will soon be time for my annual check-up...(oh no!...not the dreaded rubber glove again )

Phew!...What a night !!! Looks like the old boy got a real workout... All the beast from Maribeth and Beans...we hope you got what you wanted or wanted what you got

LOL !!! at Marty...

Nice report with photos Tom... At least we can live vicariously through your reports until we have ice of our own...

Me too...Wayne Thanks for sharing your boat at Lakair...

I'm not too fond of turkey...I eat it but if I had my druthers I'd rather a nice capon or ham or rare prime rib roast... Of course it wouldn't be Christmas without some figgy pudding with caramel sauce...and homemade shortbread

A big "DITTO" for me...

All the Best for your birthday Roger...

Many Happy Returns to our fearless leader on his birthday... :

And a Merry "Bah Humbug" to you...Thanks Glen

And the very best to you and yours...

Fisherman's Pie Peel and cook 6 medium potatoes...mash with some butter and milk...salt and pepper to taste Grate 1/4 cup old cheddar cheese Cube 1 lb white fleshed fish (I prefer haddock) into 1 inch pieces Place in baking dish...toss in a couple of handfulls of frozen peas Spoon 1/2 can of Campbells Cream of Mushroom soup (or Cream of Celery) over fish and peas Cover this with mashed potatoes then sprinkle cheese over top Bake in 400*F oven for 25-35 minutes depending on the thawed extent of the fish Serve with a tossed salad I make myself a cup of soup by filling the remainder of the can with milk and heat it in the measuring cup in the microwave to have while I'm waiting for this pie to cook...saves washing extra dishes...

Warning...Scugog doesn't open for icefishing until 01 Jan 2007...

Ya but...What have you done for us today??? Just Kidding...you guys in the background are doing a super job with this site... You and all the members have provided this old fart with many grand and glorious moments over the past 5 years and also some bad and sad moments also...but that is no different than our immediate family...and that's all part of life...

Roger...You could just lie down on your side and watch it...

If I see the cows in the field lying down I may as well pack up and head home... I don't but, usually have a skunkeroo day... Maybe I'm conditioning myself to have a bad day... Like Norman Vincent Peal sez in the Power of Positive Thinking...hmmmmm

Wow Glen !!! So glad to hear your dad got thru the operation ok and is on the mend... Marveous what they can do nowadays in the medical fields... Big news for diabetics from the Hospital for Sick Kids in Toronto today...

They're gonna put you in the Movies... They're gonna make a big Star out of you... Can't wait to see it !!!

Hey Rene...check with Photoz...I'm sure he uses some for carp...makes for easier release as they are mainly hooked in the lip when you use a hair rig... Would be a pain if you were using real worms with the youngsters but a drop of crazy glue with plastics will help keep stuff on the hook...
