  2. You are one up on me Cliff... I can't even find the classifieds...
  3. Thanks Dan...I copied the pictures and will show them to my mechanic...I'm lucky if I put 5,000 klms on a year...mostly local runs with the odd one to Peterborough...It will be nice to get to places too far for my medical scooter... The Buick came from London...

  5. No more having to rely on my wife to drive me places...not that she minded (she sez)
  6. Thanks all for your help and advice...My bro-in-law decided to take his boat to Harris Boat Works on Rice Lake as it is part way on the way to Bancroft where he plans to use it with our niece's husband...
  7. Geeze....I wonder if Uncle Dave showed them his badge...LOL
  8. I haven't the slightest idea of the make... I never learned how to do handyman stuff in accounting school and neither did my bro-in-law from the police force...LOL I found this picture and the motor is 50 hp
  9. I took my old 4 hp mercury in to them the first year I was up here for winterizing and they charged me well over $100...Everybody said I paid too much but I later found out they charge $100 once they remove the cover...I used Corkies Small Engine Repair for a couple of years then Cliff was my man after that until I sold it to my neighbor after I had to get rid of "The Tin of Beans" due to poor health... Dave will have to make the decision but so far Buckeye has 2 against and 2 for...

  11. Thanks for the replies Cliff and Ernie...Will let you know how we do...
  12. My bro-in-law wants to get his Alumacraft ready for open water this year. He hasn't had it in the water for five years or so. It will need a good going over...Work interfered with his retirement and fishing but a recent hip replacement has put a stop to that...Damn that four letter word (work). Up this way the only places I know of is Buckeye Marine and the place across from Corky' Small Engine Repair on hwy 36...Anybody got any recommendations near Bobcaygeon or Newcastle ?
  13. You gotta love the way Crappieperchhunter fillets fish (I defy you to find a bone)...I have gone back to cleaning them whole like in the video then deboneing them after cooking...The way my grandpappy taught me to clean mudcats... They look like a chain saw massacre when I try filletting...LOL
  14. From opening and for a couple of weeks after on Rice Lake we would jump in the boat after supper, motor out to one of the islands, beach the boat and then pull on our chest waders... We would then proceed to cast a Rapala into the westerly wind while standing in the water...usually got our limit each just before and after dark...We kept them on a stringer tied to our belt...
  15. There are strange things done in the midnight sun By the men who moil for gold; The Arctic trails have their secret tales That would make your blood run cold; The Northern Lights have seen queer sights, But the queerest they ever did see Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge I cremated Sam McGee. That's all I can remember Folks !
  16. Ten some odd years ago, our family chipped in together and bought us return VIA tickets to Montreal and a junior suite at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel ( the train station was under the hotel) for our 25th anniversary... We spent a lot of time wandering around visiting various cathedrals including a trip by cab up the mountain to the oratory... One evening, Roy came and picked us up and we had dinner with him and J. at their place in Boucheville (SP) It was all very nice...
  17. You have my emphathy Brian...I have been dealing with bladder cancer since July of 2009...6 operations since and a cystoscopy every 3 months...damn tumors keep recurring but it is a relief when my uroligist tells me "all clear" after each check-up...I find the cystoscopies are an uncomfortable procedure but they only take 5 minutes and better safe than sorry... Hope things work out ok for you...
  18. So sorry to hear this Paul...I will miss teasing her about being better lookin' every time I see her...She was one of my most favorite persons on this site... Condolences to you and Joey's family...

  20. OMG...It has been many years since we fished up at Uncle Jack's Pond... If I remember correctly you used to bring your little puppy with you... Here is a picture of one of the Crappie Fests... Me thinks you are in the front row 2 over from the right...I am in the back row 3 over from the right, Big Cliff is beside me...Good Times !
