  1. My dad used his 72 Grand Marquis to pull our 14 ft fiberglass runabout. Darn thing was so big as kids, we weren't sure which was the boat! HH
  2. It's my understanding that folks are parking on the ice off of Keswick. Why pay or worry? HH
  3. Thinker boxing here... it looks to me like the front end of Sally is lower than the back. I have to wonder if being like that will be driving the front end into the snow? Have you at all considered raising the front end to balance out the body. Again, not experienced, just thinker boxing.... she sure does look great though! HH
  4. Wow, a blast from the past! Nice to see you here again! HH
  5. If you are over the age of 40 and looking for a way to pass the long winter, I highly recommend this Netflix show called "The Kominsky Method". It's funny, really funny... stars Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin. Arkin is probably the best character I have seen in a long time, unique and really smart. HH
  6. I've told this story before, but it's been awhile so... Fished Quinte a ton back in the 90's, mostly from November until ice up. We arrived early, in the dark and proceeded to the launch in Picton. Temps were somewhere south of minus 10C. Back the boat down the launch, me holding the rope. Trailer is all the way in the water, but the boat looks wrong in the water. The trailer is frozen to the boat! Just hanging there. the thinking at the time, let's just let it come off in the water. Fifteen minutes later, no luck. We pull the boat out, still on the trailer and make a run to the power-wash car wash in Picton, and hit the bunks with the hot water, race back to the launch and the boat floats off the bunks. HH
  7. https://globalnews.ca/video/6438754/woman-leaves-car-window-open-in-newfoundland-blizzard This made me LOL! HH
  8. Their induction into the RnR Hall of fame is still an emotionally charged moment for me, even after having watched it numerous times. Such an amazing response from the crowd. HH
  9. That last pic sure looks familiar! LOL HH
  10. I still have my toque from the fishing show at the International Centre somewhere around 13ish years ago? HH
  11. https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/22/entertainment/terry-jones-dies-scli-gbr-intl/index.html So sad to yet again, lose one who has entertained for so long. The guy had talent and was such an influence throughout my life. My sense of humour is directly related to being a fan of the troop. He will be missed. HH
  12. Glad to see you back Roy! HH
  13. It would look better with some peaches one the side... im-peached so to speak! HH
  14. Apparently Muzzin skated on his own today, so maybe just a couple of weeks out? Re late night's game.... lucky they were playing Jersey, don't think they would have won if they were playing a good team. Leaf's need a goalie! BAD! HH
  15. Reilly out 2 months, Leafs recall Sandin. Fishheadjoe
  16. So Freddie decided again last night, that playing the puck was a good idea... hey Freddie, want to hear a really good idea, stay in the net! HH
  17. Once the parachute is deployed, I bet that baby trolls down pretty good! HH
  18. Stay away from anything made of cotton, in the cold, cotton kills! Any nylon dress sock will whisk moisture away from the foot. A good wool sock on top and you should be good to go assuming you follow the advice above and remove the insole each night. Any boot rated for -100C is a definite asset. See the Baffin lineup. HH
  19. It's the most wonderful time of the year! HH
  20. I'm guessing you have aluminum rims. As aluminum contracts due to cold, the rim seal gives way and you have a slow leak. It's the reason I keep a tire inflator in my vehicle all year round. There are solutions, but it requires that each tire and rim be removed, the rim set needs to be thoroughly cleaned, re-painted and re-installed. It aint cheap! HH
  21. Here's a couple of tips for buying Prime Rib at Metro... Buy your roast during the first three days of their sale. Those roasts are fully aged and I have never had a tough one. If you buy after the first three days, that meat is usually not as aged as they are strapped trying to find meat, to meet the sales demand. Metro butcher told me so... Also, always "marinate" the roast. To do this properly, you need to add the spices you would normally use on the roast, plus, add an onion, two carrots and two celery stalks, place them in a food quality bag, with the roast and leave it in the fridge for two days prior to cooking. Cook the roast low and slow... HH
