  1. 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
  2. Ditto! LOL HH
  3. There are a number of companies capable of issuing cards here in the GTA. Priced themselves out of contention? HH
  4. Return of the Viking! HH
  5. I may have to sell my first born and provide a spinal fluid sample for sale to afford my crab desires. HH
  6. 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
  7. For that price, you'd think that it came with a packed lunch! HH

  9. No dock for you boat, no problem... HH
  10. 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
  11. I'd quit workin if that was my backyard! HH
  12. 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
  13. We've been watching Peacemaker recently. It's basically a super hero series, but the super hero is a Richard Cranium! It certainly isn't a movie that will leave you thinking, it's really eye candy, but I have found myself laughing out loud through every episode! It stars John Cena as the lead and is available on Crave or HBO+. I would post a link to previews, but they are definitely not safe for work (as is the whole show!) and I don't want to get in trouble here... HH PS... Peacemaker has a sidekick, his pet eagle who he named... wait for it.... Eaglely! That still makes me laugh!
  14. I have to wonder how folks would feel if that crap show going on in Ottawa was happening in THEIR backyard... HH
  15. Despite the rules in place, some of just can't seem to be able to comprehend that this is not the place for your political views... HH
  16. That's a beauty! I haven't seen one that big from that body of water for over ten years! Well done! HH
  17. I refuse to put on winter tires because: • It’s my car, my choice, my freedom. • The effectiveness of winter tires is not proven, except by studies carried out by the manufacturers (like I’m supposed to trust them). • My neighbor Bob had an accident even after putting on winter tires. • Some drivers are already on their 3rd set of tires, which proves their ineffectiveness. • We do not know what the tires are made of. • The tire manufacturers scare us with winter just to enrich themselves. • In fact, I read on the internet that the tire giants invented snow and spread it at night when you sleep. • If I have winter tires, the government can track me in the snow. Educate yourself, open your eyes, stop being sheep! This year, I say no to winter tires! HH
  18. Filling lakes with microscopic plastic bits seems like a no win to me. Don't we already have enough micro plastics in our oceans to deal with? There has got to be a better way. HH
  19. And bed time after Jeopardy! LMAO! HH
  20. I knew your were getting old @misfish, but I didn't think you were that old! Cooking dinner at 2:30pm means dinner at 4:00pm! LMAO! HH
  21. To say that I am "hooked" (see what I did there! LOL) on these Boneless Blade Roast might be a bit of an understatement! Cooked up another for Sunday's dinner. Again, 72 hours in the Sous Vide at 133F. I took it directly from the freezer, added kosher salt, black pepper and instant coffee to the bag and vacuum sealed. it then went right into the drink. After the 72 hours, I took it out of the bag, dried the roast with paper towels and put on another layer of slat and pepper. From there, onto the side burner on the Napoleon for 30 seconds per side. A quick ten minute rest and sliced again the grain. Note the dark "crust" a result of both the instant coffee as well as the high heat from the side burner. What you see on the cutting board is what was left of the roast after dinner. Tonight, we are having home made French Onion soup and roast beef sandwiches with melted swiss and au jou for dipping. Unfortunately this is the last of the blade roast I scored on sale... HH
