Well done Emil! Your hard work really paid here! Great lookin ride! HH

Got my renewal form in the mail on Friday and renewed via the phone system. It was easy and fast... the only potential draw back being, I have to wait for the card to come in before I can fish in 2008. They said on the phone that it would take up to 20 days for the card to arrive. I hope they have their poop together as I may/will want to hit Quinte again early in the new year and would prefer to be "legal" at that time! HH

RE: Magic Erasers.... don't let your kids near them! They release toxins that will really harm a child's skin, cause burns... never let kids use this product! HH

15/20 here... darn those tiny little buggers! HH

Not an expert, but it looks like a Marten to me! If it is, yes they are vicious and territorial if push by humans. HH

Roy, I'm now choking my BBQ pork lunch! That's flippin hysterical! HH

Can't help you in your decision making process as to which camera to choose from, but I did notice that Henry's Camera's has a HUGE sale on everything, including Digital SLR's. I think they are dumping old stock to prepare for new stuff coming in for the Xmas season. Quite a noticeable drop as well. Good luck with your purchase! HH

Well, for those un-able to attend last weekend's festivities, here's one of the things you missed... "Hey Mike!" seemed to be heard all over the park... I guess because it seemed like all of the OFNer's who were there were named Mike! Actually, it was quite comical! HEY MIKE! HH

Boy those Sheepies were in thick eh! H

I think I'm jealous Wayne!LOL HH

Although it's not the same reel, just ask Gerritt or Bill Parker how much I like my Okuma line counter! It is poop! HH

Sorry guys, I think I may have got this thread wrong. What I had hooked up was a meter and switch that was hooked up to my A/C unit, in-line with it's power source. When demand became high, they could TURN OFF MY A/C unit remotely, until electricity demand dropped. Now, I didn't pay over 2 grand to have someone else have their hand on my A/C switch! Hope I didn't confuse anyone other then myself!LOL HH

Hey G, I had one of those meters hooked up to my house when I bought it. I had my air conditioning guy remove it when he replaced my unit this summer. There is no way in H E double hockey sticks that I was going to allow someone else to turn off my a/c when ever they wanted. It's sitting on the garage floor right now. Next, they will be locking our car keys in a special box in your house and only letting you drive when the air quality meets their expectations. That'll be the day! HH

A couple of things.... Terry, Insurance will pay out for suicide, but only after a period of time after the policy was inititated. 2ndly, yes I'm a smoker and I really do enjoy it most of the time. Like most here, I grew up with smoking parnets and can remember female dogging at my dad all the time. I used to smoke in the house, but that ended the moment I learned my wife was preggers. I have either smoked outside since, or in my garage, where the kids don't enter. I don't think you can legislate common sense, but again, thi is only wtep one in a long line of control features the various levels of government are trying to force down our throats. One question for the non smokers... why is it, when we smokers gather outside to fullfill out needs, that you insist on joining us outside, then complain about the smoke?We have made an honest and conscience decision to get away from you, yet you always want to join our little smoke fest? I think it's because most of us smokers are the fun people to be with! HH

Well, way to many people to thank for the fantastic time I had over the weekend. I got up 1/2 an hour before I went to bed on Friday morning, to be sure to be at the dock, thumb out lookin for a ride on Friday morning. Wayne (Irishfield) had graciously agreed to get me out on his new ride on Friday and man, what a ride. Someone described it at being a "Cadillac" and they weren't far off! Such a smooth riding boat, with all the bells and whistles, wow, fantastic are the only words to describe it! The company was excellent, with Wayne, Terry and Dano... laughed a ton and that helped make up for the stripped little critter that followed us around that day! I soon realized that I needed some new sunglasses as I couldn't find mine, so after the morning fish, I headed to CTC to pick up some stuff. I bought the best that Rapala has to offer, man am I ever one good lookin bugger in those shades!LOL The others decided to head out for the afternoon fish, so after getting back to the cottage, I decided to have a bite to eat and to chill for a bit. There was a knock on the cottage door and in comes my new "brother from a different mother", Ted the gadget. FishnSled and I had a space open up in our cottage, actually, it was floor space, LOL and Ted had posted in hookups that he'd like to come but needed space. We connected and agreed and there he was! As Ted's un-packing, he says to me, I stopped at No Frills to pick up a snack for later and holds up a Pork Roast. I almost hugged him! He cooked it up and man, it was awesome! We really hit it off right away, anyone who crosses Ted's path, will be impressed with this guy, he's a great guy! FishnSLed got held up at work Friday night and so Ted and I attended the various events taking place and had a ball! How can you have a bad time, when your laughing all the time! Saturday, I was fortunate enough to hook up with Gerritt for the day. Again, laughing all day sure makes the skunk smell a whole lot better! Had a ball bud, let's do it again real soon. After getting back with Gerritt it was time to start to get my pot luck contribution ready to go. I made some Aspargas roll ups on the BBQ and dropped them off at Mike the Pikes cottage. Wow, lots of food and some awsesome chili (DouG) a great time! Sunday, FishnSled arrived at 6:00am, dragged my lazy butt out of bed to be greeted by a lovely north-east wind for our run over to Thompson Point. As everyone did, marked fish EVERYWHERE, but no takers! Will, always a pleasure to fish with you! My other brother from a different mother! Left Merlands around 2:00pm and arrived home at round 5:00pm, tired but very happy! Folks, if you have never made it to a GTG, you really don't know what your missing! Folks who you have no idea who they are become friends within minutes, the jesting, laughs, knowledge etc... mind boggling! I would like to express my appreciation especially to Irishfield, Gerritt and FishnSled for there generosity, you'd be hard pressed to find better folks to hook up with. You guys have put out enough good Karma for the next couple of years and I hope you get it all back in spades! Some folks asked me to post the recipe for the Aspargas roll ups so here you are; Ingredients: Fresh aspargas ripe and fresh red pepper any sharp, firm chesse procuitto, sliced Marinade: enough to slightly cover the roll ups... experiment, you'll get it! Olive oil balsamic vinegar kosher salt crushed black pepper tons of crushed fresh garlic Clean and wash the aspargas. Slice the red pepper into thin slices and put aside. Cut the cheese into slices, about the same size as an individual aspargas. (Hint - when buying and using the Procuitto, be sure to leave it out of the fridge for atleast an hour as it is easier to peel the slices out of the pack, when it's at room temp. Lay one slice of Procuitto on a cutting board. Add three or four aspargas spears on top, one piece of red pepper and one piece of cheese. Roll this combo up and secure with a tooth pick. Once you've rolled them all up, put them in a flat container and pour the combined marinade over top of the roll ups. They will keep in the fridge for about 4 days, and simply BBQ them, until they are brown all the way around. Best served right off the grill, grilling time varies based on heat, but no more than 10 minutes total on the BBQ. Best put these on last if your serving it with a steak etc... Again, thanks so much to all that helped make my weekend and that of others such a great time! HH

Same here, read it as an audio file only, HH

Thanks Lew... sorry for hijacking the thread... good info there! HH

I know we have quite a few guitar players here, I thought I'd post this for your interest! Really though, if you can't tune the guitar, should you really be trying to play it?! http://blog.wired.com/music/2007/11/self-tuning-rob.html HH

Hey Lew, I really like your tether as well! Have had trouble with the Salty's letting go or are you simply being careful? HH

Hey G., I dragged one around last year for a bit, no takers. I don't think it's too big for the Q, but I think that the action on the lure is just not right for the bait the wally's are chasing. If you compare it to say a Manns 25 or 30, not that much different. Fall eyes seem to like a tight wobble vs a pronounced wally diver type side to side wobble. Also, I don't have a clue as to depth they achieve with various amounts of line out, so it's it and miss until you can come up with some sort of pattern of success. HH

Cranksbait, that may be very useful, especially for the pot luck dinner... I'd say bring it along and we'll see if we need it and help you out in gettin it set up! HH

Hometown, connect with Tedthegadgetguy, he's solo with a boat on Saturday! HH

Oooops is right! Dropping a cylinder type recording is not the best way to keep it pristine! Thanks for the laugh Cliff! HH

Surprise surprise... it changed again! http://www.accuweather.com/canada-forecast...ric=1&set=1 HH

According to recent reports, water temp in Picton area is 50 degrees f. Boat won't freeze, but if it snows, you'll definately accumulate in the boat. If your using any of the Picton docks, be very sure not to leave ANYTHING out in the open, it will get taken. HH
