That would be the Canadian thing to do I guess? Walk away, let it happen, as long as I have beer, and enough to eat I should be happy.

 

Well, as you can tell, I am far from happy! The fact that I have grandkids and now great grandkids that are going to have to live with the mess that we allow to happen saddens me no end. Now I need to find a way to try to fix some of it so they at least have a chance.

 

My biggest problem is I just don't know what or how to do anything about it.

im far from your age big cliff, but i totally understand and agree with your post. Your obviously a hard worker and a great family man

My mom, bless her. When we lived at home she used vinegar for cleaning and desenfecting, The worst was when she would wash ciramic floors! We could never talk her out of it!

lol thats all we use

Just thought id throw this here. Pure vinegar will also kill ants

The kids are coming with us to help too. Hope it'll show them some lessons 1) helping your friends and neighbours is apart of being human 2) how destructive water/nature can be

Thanks spincast and lew:) yeah it just seems like that crazy winter weather has just carried over. We got gnarly rain forecasted again later this week, let's hope that changes

Just down from our shacks 2 days ago. The water has risen about 4ft since:(barwick lighthouse and boat launch yesterday. Water is still rising

With higher then normal water conditions in the rainy lake/rainy river, we got hammered with downpours and now the water continues to rise. Fort frances, international falls and rainy river have began sandbagging. FN's northwest bay and stanji are also currently in trouble. The township of rainy river looks to be in much danger, the river is feet from the township. More rain forecasted as well. Geez. We are pretty safe/elevated here but i think will go help our friends sandbag in rainy river. Crazy

Yep i seen that misfish. Sad that an "inkling" is viewed as hope for so many. Citizens deserve much better then that.

No disrespect here,but dose it really matter who gets in? I seen nothing that did me any good from either of the two top parties. The only inkling of positive with the libs,is that minimum wage will keep climbing. I don't know how anyone in this day and age can live on 11 bucks an hour. That's just insane. My mrs,s is starting over and making this. Long cry from what she was making. Thankfully, we get by comfortably with mine, and she is able to have some extra for herself.

 

Time now to get the fishing gear ready. Atleast we still have that.

and increasing minimum wage is just another illusion. The wage goes up, the labor force goes down. Sounds good but on paper its ridiculous. Corporations etc just increase wage but cut hours and jobs to balance it out. A truly flawed system. David Blaine would be the best politician ever

Crosshairs your input is always bang on. Always appreciated:)

A clearly unbiased opinion.

what???? All i was implying was the comments on the SUNS FN issues are a good place for racist drama, both ways. And thanks, i certainly am unbiased;)

The nugget convieniently forgot to open the comments on this article, sometimes I think the Nugget has a relationship with NFN. It's not the first time they haven't allowed comments on a story about the comercial fishery.

you wanna read all the ignorant quotes etc read the sun forums lol

Our family all went and voted... Let's see what happens next???

Wicked catch dood! Same as my pb, so I could relate to the fight it put up. Gorgeous catch dood, congrats!!!!!

Bass are the easiest fish to catch in or OOS. A reason why Morons fish for them.

nah man walleye, crappie and perch, and even pike are easier imo. I love fishing every species i can, but bass fishing teaches me way more the any other species, and those lessons carry over

And then the worst news possibly ever... Septic/electrical need work and wont be ready until late august or September:( good news is we can still utilize the property until then(weekend etc). Also cut a deal to help maintain the outside and free rent for two months once its good to go. Bad news, again, is will have a new house in our current area by October by the sounds of it:(

Thanks simon!!! Gotta head up with a load this weekend and get that lawn mowed now lol. Gonna be a long two weeks to move out whats left there, move are stuff up, all while working and getting the kiddos to school haha. Looking forward to it though:)

Ahh, I see. Southernish shore. I'm not familiar with that area. I fish from kenora to Sioux narrows and west to clear water bay. No doubt it will be beautiful. Tons of fish too

yeppers

Side of the house nice lil 16 ft that comes with the propertyview from front stepsto the south of the houseview from the kids room upstairsshoreline view on the west side of the lawnanother lawn shot property also has a few storage sheds, a riding lawn mower, a canoe, a paddle boat, a horseshoe pit, 2 nice apple trees, and a blueberry rock(through a trail to the east side of the property).

Thats Eleanor lake. Right near big grassy first nations

I need to plan my (self invited) trip to meet you in person....
