  1. Mechanics are going to end up being like today's TV repair man. Making house calls and swapping out boards. HH
  2. You're right, ketchup it is! HH
  3. I have a 7 day camping/fishing trip planner for early June. We've done this trip a number of times and it's a ton of fun. That said, one thing we do struggle with is bringing enough water with us, while being able to get our boats on plain as we are typically over-loaded on our 17 mile trip to our island camp site. I've been thinking that we could eliminate a lot of weight, if we didn't have to bring enough water for 6 guys for a week with us. I've been eye balling the various offerings in this realm and would like to get some experienced suggestions as to what you have used and how well it performs. I've seen this on the Sail site as an example of the kind of thing I am looking for. https://www.sail.ca/en/lifestraw-peak-series-gravity-filter-system-3-l-833663-21-078680001 Many thanks in advance.

  4. Just added this song the my band's play list. We needed something a little slower to give the dance floor folks a bit of a breather! LOL HH
  5. But don't dare offer him a live minnow! HH
  6. So much for Newfie jokes on the board!!! HH

  8. If you watch the 60 Minutes expose I posted earlier in the thread, you would have seen that Fusion is still very far away from being useful. There was a big guffuffal about having generated a split second of power in the lab and claiming that the reaction generated more energy then the lasers put in. What was not talked about on the news was how much energy they had to produce, to get enough power to drive the lasers. 300 units to get one unit back. That aint very efficient! HH
  9. https://www.cbsnews.com/video/nuclear-fusion-60-minutes-video-2023-01-15/#x It seems that fusion is still a long way from being usable... HH
  10. Ditto! LOL HH
  11. There are a number of companies capable of issuing cards here in the GTA. Priced themselves out of contention? HH
  12. Return of the Viking! HH
  13. I may have to sell my first born and provide a spinal fluid sample for sale to afford my crab desires. HH
  14. Abstract This history of the salmon in the Great Lakes describes the decline and extinction of the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in Lake Ontario in the 1800's; the failure to establish, by salmon culture, permanent or sizable populations of Atlantic or Pacific salmon in any of the Great Lakes in 1867-1965; and the success of the plantings of coho (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and chinook salmon (O. tshawytsha) in the Great Lakes, in 1966-70 -- particularly in Lake Michigan. Despite plantings of 5 million fry and fingerlings from Lake Ontario stocks in 1866-84, the native Atlantic salmon in Lake Ontario became extinct in the late 1800's primarily because tributaries in which they spawned were blocked by mill dams. Plantings of 13 million chinook salmon and landlocked and anadromous forms of Atlantic salmon in Lake Ontario and the other Great Lakes in 1873-1947 failed completely. The first species to develop a self-sustaining population was the pink salmon (O. gorbuscha), which was planted in Lake Superior in 1956; however, it has not become abundant. A salmon fishery finally was established when 15 million coho salmon and 6 million chinook salmon were planted as smolt in the Great Lakes in 1966-70. In 1970, for example, 576,000 coho salmon (12% of those planted in 1969) were caught by anglers in Lake Michigan. Most weighed 5 to 10 pounds (2.3-4.5 kg). Sport fishing for salmon was fair in Lakes Superior and Huron, and poor in Lakes Erie and Ontario. By 1970, natural reproduction of coho, chinook, pink, and kokanee (O. nerka) salmon had occurred in some tributaries of one or more of the upper three Great Lakes. It is expected, however, that the sport fishery will continue to be supported almost entirely by planted fish. Here's the link... https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/37635 HH
  15. For that price, you'd think that it came with a packed lunch! HH

  17. No dock for you boat, no problem... HH
  18. One of the first things we do is to bury our coolers up to the lid. Then cover them with moss to keep any sunlight off of them. You can't bring enough tarps and rope. Tie rocks to the tarp lines and throw the rocks up into nearby trees, wind the ropes around the tree truck to hold the tarps in place. If you have room, a fold out table can be really helpful. HH
  19. I'd quit workin if that was my backyard! HH
  20. If you haven't seen this show, I highly recommend it! Now, that said, it is violent, crude and silly funny, everything you look for in an anti-hero type situation. The hero of the show is a "hairband" junky, meaning that he loves obscure 80's bands and the sound track reflects that. John Cena stars. I have watched all of season one, season two have been announced given that this show is the all time leader in viewership for HGBO Max. PS... his "side kick" is an eagle who he named.... Eagley! LMAO! HH
