Just me!!!!!! HH

Just got back from a trip to the grocery store. I watched a women grab EVERY orange in the rack, squeeze them then put them back. She's lucky to have survived our encounter. HH

A couple of other things to consider.... -if you have pets, be sure to pick up 2 months worth of food as soon as you can. It's likely that they will close those stores, sooner than later. -they say that washing your clothes and putting them in the dryer will kill/get rid of any virus on your clothes... just remember to completely disinfect your laundry basket between washing/drying and folding. If the virus is on your clothes, it will infect your laundry basket. You will be back to square one. HH

Good ole Clorox bleach, mixed with water to dilute is what you want. If you are cleaning surfaces, use bleach and let it sit on the surface for 5 minutes before you rise it off. @Lew... good luck finding isopropyl alcohol, if you did, count yourself lucky. Metro has announced early closings starting today...8:00pm. HH

Lew, if I recall correctly, your wife had heart surgery not too recently? If so, you and her MUST self isolate immediately or potentially deal with the ramifications to come. I find it difficult to get my head around the actions of so many people during this crisis and yes, it is a crisis. Recent numbers out of the U.S. are showing younger people are also getting severely ill and those numbers are on a straight line up. We are two weeks behind Italy, so if you want to know what will happen here, take a look at Italy and make your plans based on what you learn. Lew, stay home!!!!!!!!!! HH Edit to add... forget the kids going back to school this spring, that's all but done. They will be lucky to get back in September. We are in this for the long haul.

Have a read through this. Here's a numbers guy putting forth the results of his study of the virus. This should give us pause for thought... and MAYBE keep our collective a$$es at home! https://medium.com/@Jason_Scott_Warner/the-sober-math-everyone-must-understand-about-the-pandemic-2b0145881993 HH

Perfect Vue on Hay Bay. Drops mic and walks away HH

I have heard through a reliable source that this bug does not like the cold. I joked with this person that I may self isolate in front of an ice hole and his response was suggesting that I wash my hands in the cold water, it'll kill the virus. HH

What I have heard Brian is that people who get it, beat it and feel well enough to go back to work can still be shedding the virus... and they don't know how long that will continue. HH

It was the 80's and I was playing in a "touring band". By touring, I mean playing some of the stickiest floored establishments from Windsor to New Liskeard. We were playing in Barrie, right downtown during their annual street party. The hotel provides the band with "accommodations" while playing there. We load our personal items into the room, only to discover the following... -light switch for the room is a coat hanger, hanging off of two bare wires in the switch box -there is graffiti covering every square inch of every wall in the place. we spent hours reading and laughing -there is no shower, only a massive bath tub. Written in black marker on the inside of the tub, a picture of a cockroach and a note saying "go ahead, get in"! -We quickly discovered that it was best to leave the lights on, all the time! We turned them off once, the walls and floor began to move! We also made sure that all of our bags we sealed shut as best they could because we didn't want to bring home any uninvited guests -we were required to play a Saturday afternoon matinee. up on stage, doing my thing and I look to my left, at the bar and the entire top of the bar is moving! La cooka racha are racing up and down the bar. -Barrie was celebrating some kind of street party as mentioned, down town street is completely closed off. Now remember, we are a rock band and as such, we didn't usually hit the hay until sunrise, too jacked up from playing. At 9:00am sharp, this massive pipe organ on a flat bed truck starts playing. It's right outside of our window and shaking the entire building. I have grown to hate pipe organs! -back the Saturday matinee... locals we encouraged to come up and play a tune with the band, we were happy to do it. A guy shows up with his guitar, we greet him enthusiastically asking him what song he wants to play... I kid you not, this is how the conversation went. Local - "do you guys know "slow moving Walter, that fire engine guy?" (DEAD serious) Band- looking at each other thoroughly confused... "no, we don't know that song" "Can you maybe sing some of it for us?" Local - starts humming the following "Bah bah bah, bah bah babha, bah ba ba, bah bah. (Smoke on the water) Dude thought that Smoke on the Water, Deep Purple was "Slow moving Walter, that fire engine guy". There are more, but this is the one that I'll never forget! HH

I've been out the last two weekends so no fishin for me this weekend! I don't want to come home to hot tongue and cold shoulder for dinner! HH

i love fishing for perch, be it on the ice or from a boat. The fact they they are generally willing and able partners, is really appealing to me. That said, when ever a perch report comes up, I take notice. @misfish showed us pic of his 15+inch perch the other day and there was another poster who mentioned a 17+inch perch caught outta Simcoe. Myself, I managed a 13+inch perch a couple of weeks ago and it got me thinkin how long before we see a 20inch perch pulled outta Simcoe? With the vast amount of food available to them, i have to wonder how much longer before we break the 20inch barrier and what do we think that will mean for the perch fishery on Simoce? HH

You're putting on a clinic Simon!!! I'll take day two action any day of the year!!! Thanks for sharing... HH

Buddy measured it for me... 13.5 inches. So you will Brian, but it's still a PB for me! HH

I'm working on getting a pic of mine. As I didn't get enough for a family feed, I dropped what I had at a friend's place. He can't ice fish due to medical issues, so he was quite happy to get a feed for himself. Hoping to get a pic from him soon. Funny, I can't stop thinking about that perch! Definitely a P\B for me.... HH

Nice feed Brian! I was on Cook's yesterday. It was pretty slow all morning.I did manage to get one bruiser pushing 15 inches. Pretty sure it was a male, based on it's body shape. Sitting on the ice, almost looked like a Peacock Bass it was so big! Would have been nice to get a few more of them and yes, blowing up the bottom, bouncing your bait was the ticket to getting them interested. Still, a great day to be out with good temps and some sun! HH

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

It's my understanding that folks are parking on the ice off of Keswick. Why pay or worry? HH

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
