A kinder gentler world via public execution? Sounds like a brilliant idea there Chief. Nothing quite like a good old fashioned hanging or be-heading to warm the heart.

Public execution? You guys have been drinking right?

I'm sure the kids would love that.

Maybe kids are missing public executions?

 

I would hope this is just hyperbole.

No one wants them to 'walk'. You are being very disingenuous with that type of argument. If you want to have a reasonable discussion on the matter, then you must proceed with at least a little bit of intellectual honesty. Giving choices of one extreme or the other is, for a lack of a better word, dumb.....

It would get some attention alright. I know a few places where public executions take place all the time. The same places where terrorism is rampant and theocratic fascism is king. I can not even believe that I am entertaining this argument.

 

Be honest just for a few seconds, do you want to live in a society where you gather around the town square and watch the executions with your family? Give your head a shake....

No kidding.

 

You guys should be ashamed of yourselves. That's just as sick as the original crime.

This false dichotomy is rediculous. Public executions vs. "letting them walk",?? I seriously doubt some of you have anything past an eight grade education.

 

Let reason prevail. Let the invesigators investigate. Save the fear-mongering and speculation for a forum that endorses that kind of tripe. Some of what has been said here makes me sick.

Makes me sick....no need to make it a public execution ....just throw them in general population. They won't live 30 days.

When they go to jail, they will have a fate worse than death waiting for them.

What did I tell yaz? Ok, so it was a limited public execution but it had the desired outcome. We don't need to know why. We just need to stomp them out, One down, one more worthless piece of _H_T to go.

Thanks for the info CJ.... I guess it'll take more than three wet seasons to positively affect lake Huron... we are lucky it wasn't a dry past 6 months!

 

What has Quebec been doing to our resource, Moxie?

 

They're always up to no good. They can put a few logs in the dam for starters. Besides, If they can whine about anything and everything why can't I?

Theres one public execution taken care of. Now lets hope the other one gets the required amount of lead in his diet as well.

Sad news for sure. Dangers lurk everywhere. Many gas mains that were once in what were considered rural areas have been over run by the urban sprawl. Worked on a sewer installation in the area of Yonge st-Gamble road in Richmond hill a few years back and had to cross two mains, the smaller one being 24". Its' neatly tucked no deeper than 15-20' under a walkway-bicycle path intersecting neighbourhoods as it snakes East-West.

We need the Mericans and the Quebec to stop screwin with our resource. Plain and simple. Just a thought.

Theres at least a $100 worth of floats n shot hangin off that wire. Great post. Thanks for sharing.

Biebers such a donkey.

Like an "Ass", right? Sure honing his skills into becoming a great one at that.

Bout time!!! They've been in my Hall of Fame since childhood.

Send an e-mail to the company and chances are they'll replace it.

X2 and I suggest you wrap them up and ship them off and they should return them with a lil' sumthin' xtra for your trouble. Its costing them mere pennies on the dollar to have them made overseas and/or down south. Good luck.

Just a though Mark. Normark is located in durham so if you're ever in the area drop them off in person.

Pretty quiet on the water that day.

investigators. I won a class spelling bee in Gr 6 you know.

Sweet! I got out today for some slabs. It was a lot of work to keep on them, but we managed a good feed for our efforts. Lots of small ones, but we managed to weed out a limit of keepers

 

S.

Good to hear.

Oops

Thank you. I knew I'd catch a at least one Lib. There cannot be an intelligent conversation with a Lib cause they always think their way is the only way.

Edited cause I've never been trained in the art of Liberal Warfare. I appreciate the education Grimace.

Braved the elements and were rewarded with a the clue of clues.

Hoping last weeks four days of rain would wash away any last traces of ice off the lake and Environment Canada's forecast for last Sunday predicted to be mainly sunny with a temperature of 7 C and winds between 10-15 k, the conditions would be just about right to warm up a bay or two and activate the feed bag on some soft water Crappie. Add to the forecast the fact we made road trips both Thurs and Fri to check ramp conditions and any signs of lingering ice packs or bergs, anticipation and expectations went into overdrive.

Saturday: Honey-Do items.

Sunday: Hit the ground running at 6:30 Sunday morning, round up the boys and head north with blue bird skies following us all the way to the ramp. Launch and head over to the first bay as clouds begin to roll in, wind picks up and temperature falls. We see a school of smaller fish and our first hour or so doesn't even produce a single hit. Now under full cloud cover, wind still blowing and even the odd flake of snow falling we make a decision to try another spot and roll into bay #2. It didn't look like the day we anticipated or expected would come to fruition until one of Mother Natures' own tipped us off.

As we start picking the shoreline apart looking for our quarry I notice an Osprey hovering over head near the end of the bay. The bird is locked onto something and within seconds begins its dive only to abort part way down. We watch as it circles and starts to hover once more. As it dives a second time its posture suggests full committal and as it hit the water we waited to see what, if anything, would be pinned to its' talons on the way out. As it left the water the fish in its' grip was indeed a Crappie but as it flew away the fish shook loose . We were hoping we would fair better as we bee lined it to the spot, and connected with fish. The cold, wind and flakes of snow seem to matter much less as for the next few hours were spent engrossed in the "thrill a minute" our sport can sometimes provide. Just takes some Moxie at times.

If it was in fact an attack and regardless of whether it was carried out by dissidents or foreign I think it might be time to bring back public executions. Eye for an eye instead of this hug a thug and throw them back into society bulls#!t. Hope of a kinder gentler world is becoming a scarce commodity. As blessed as we are to live in this part of the world it saddens me to know that I will have to one day have to leave my children behind.

And a smouldering cigarette in the background.

Take a bath and just say "NO" to Drugs!!!!!

I have spent roughly $700 purchasing items from ebay in the last 12 months and have only been hit with a customs/HST charge only three times. Even with the shipping charges I have found that at the very least I save the taxes but usually more. I'm just lucky i guess.

lol......

Goin out tomorrow just to see if the itching stops, spring or no spring.

Poop and Pee are the least of our worries( Chlorine fix: use your backyard or community pool as examples). The heavy metals and other chemical pollutants on the other hand.......

Hey guys, looking at upgrading the electronics on the boat. Specifically looking at the Humminbird 898c HD SI to go along with the I-Pilot Link equipped Terrova I just picked up.. From what I've seen, I'll be dropping close to $400 more to purchase the same unit up here as I will in the US. I'm all for supporting Canadian vendors, but not to the tune of an extra $400 out of my pocket. I've been looking around for the past few weeks and it looks like I can get the unit I'm after for just under $1300 US. If anyone can give me some suggestions on some Canadian retailers I should check out, I'd really appreciate it.

Supporting Canadian retailers is a nice thought but in the end its' what comes out of your pocket that matters especially considering we are beaten nearly to death by taxes. Good luck.

It's been several years since I was in there, but I remember at one time he had a good supply.

 

Always like dealing with John, perhaps I should take a road trip one of these days.

He is good people. Let me know if you ever make it down, stop in for a coffee.
