Put up a "safe swimming fence"

Get in the mines. The trades arent dying. You just need to look in the right places An RN is a great way to go outside of trades however So is engineering

All i had was wood shop. They did teach us basic elictrical work though. But thats it. It was a huge push for university And we did "oac" classes to ready us for that

???

Put on a giant treble hook and snag their lines, cut them, and keep their $20 jigs hahahaha

Ark Easiest job out. Get your heavy duty operating equipment and apply at the mines. Sit in a cozy ride and listen to sirius sat all day long for 35 and hour If your on EI I think you can even get the 6 week course paid for

OI im positive youve heard this at some point?

Assualt over a fishing spot, keepin it classy...

Hahaha that was one of my favorite things to do with grampa when I was a youngin! Still sticks with me to this day. I got a few hundred bucks worth sitting out in my shack. We bring a trash bag with us when we shore fish. Its amazing the odd spots you will find trash or where a party went on in some weird part if the bush. We even found a couch a few years back and I had to wonder how it got in there? Its thick enough bush its hard to walk through for 5km, howd a friggen couch get out there lol

I think I mentioned it in here before? Reminder i guess. If you like yams.... Slice a 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle with olive oil. Add sea salt and pepper. Broiled for 35 mins or so. Flip half way. Mmmmmmm Eat em right away though or they get soggy

Nice job guys! Im still in the process so ill try to remember to to take pics. Smells fantastic in here!!! $35 dollar meal, woot woot!

I see this often, beavers are awesome engineers! Highly skilled animals. Off topic but one time as a youngster, me and two buds were coming home from the bar drunk. In my neighbours driveway stood a beaver??? We played around abit and its smackin its tail on the pavement. Next thing ya know its chasing us. Word up, beavers are pretty fast on dry land so yeah, dont screw with them. Super cool animals!

Hey now, I started this thread and now im being made a fool???? Great going guys!!!(lucas,brian,rodmaker lol) The fragrance in the house now are fantastic! Slow cooker is working its magic. She at 120 degrees now. Almost time to add the fixens?

Yes! Brians is on the yam train lol I love yams

I got a inside round slow cookin now?

Right on mike!!!

I feel for cliff. Imo hes right about his son. But.... is this an isolated thing or happens often? His son, if he cant be bothered to help his 70 year old father, thats not right. Thats assuming big cliff did his son right as well, but... Your money cliff, your decision.

I think at this point, most of us can agree to make your kids work. Love them, enjoy life with them, and set an example. Life is hard, work is hard, i have 7 kids Nobody is perfect though. Just do the best ya can. But really, really try. Or you have no right to complain

Going back to my first high paying job at the sawmill. Worst thing I seen was 18-25 year olds working for 6 months or 2 years. Pay was good, seemed stable. These guys my age, all ran out, bought houses, trucks, boats, atvs, wined and dined. I was on vacation when I got the news weyerhauser sold the ear falls mill and laid of tons. I was one of them. I was pissed yeah, i loved that job and woulda likely stayed for life. Others, not so much. Many filed bankruptcy, others had connections and moved to the red lake mine (goldcorp). Didnt hurt me one bit finacially but I had to smh at some. "Make a sound plan, stick to it. Live within your means. The toys come later"

???

Ill have 2 homemade lasagnas waiting at home after work thanks to gma Yes!

Geebus you guys!!! Some amazing looking eats!!!

Amazing!

And the discounted lumber I can get from the local mill lol. It does pay to make and keep good contacts, remember that people. I lay no blame on anyone young or old. Things have changed its undeniable. Nowadays you really need a plan, and exucute that plan, and then catch a few breaks. Its doable for sure. OI, where there is a will, there is usually a way. Some people just dont get it. Maybe some people just catch bad breaks(illness, disease, injuries etc)

Hehehehe
