Prop your eyelids open with toothpicks and you could say you have an unobstructed view while sleeping!

post got messed up-deleted

Pls post the GPS co-ords so I can go catch some!!

Not to hijack, but I had 3 good trips with Gord & co. One to "A/B" Lakes. Have you been there lately? Gord is an inventor, too. Do you have one of his ice fishing buzzer set-ups?

There's a club in Scarberia that's still building bamboo rods, or at least they were 6-7 years ago when I was a member. Theey fish places such as B'ville creek for browns etc. If you want to dig more deeply into bamboo rods you could try contacting them. I'm not sure if |Gord Deval is still around. http://www.pathcom.com/~coachman/

tb, just make sure Elmer Fudd doesn't find out where you live! I grew up eating rabbits fairly often--wild ones my father brought home.---but now I eat more rabbit food.

The local groundhog is never wrong---an early spring and six more weeks of winter are the same thing!!

Sounds pretty normal to me---do you still have room? But any deerflies, I'm out

Banking With an 86 Year Old Woman Shown below, is an actual letter that was sent to a bank by an 86 year old woman. The bank manager thought it amusing enough to have it published in the New York Times. Dear Sir: I am writing to thank you for bouncing my check with which I endeavored to pay my plumber last month. By my calculations, three nanoseconds must have elapsed between his presenting the check and the arrival in my account of the funds needed to honor it. I refer, of course, to the automatic monthly deposit of my entire pension, an arrangement which, I admit, has been in place for only eight years. You are to be commended for seizing that brief window of opportunity, and also for debiting my account $30 by way of penalty for the inconvenience caused to your bank. My thankfulness springs from the manner in which this incident has caused me to rethink my errant financial ways. I noticed that whereas I personally answer your telephone calls and letters, when I try to contact you, I am confronted by the impersonal, overcharging, pre-recorded, faceless entity which your bank has become. From now on, I, like you, choose only to deal with a flesh-and-blood person. My mortgage and loan repayments will therefore and hereafter no longer be automatic, but will arrive at your bank, by check, addressed personally and confidentially to an employee at your bank whom you must nominate. Be aware that it is an OFFENSE under the Postal Act for any other person to open such an envelope. Please find attached an Application Contract which I require your chosen employee to complete. I am sorry it runs to eight pages, but in order that I know as much about him or her as your bank knows about me, there is no alternative. Please note that all copies of his or her medical history must be countersigned by a Notary Public, and the mandatory details of his/her financial situation (income, debts, assets and liabilities) must be accompanied by documented proof. In due course, at MY convenience, I will issue your employee with a PIN number which he/she must quote in dealings with me. I regret that it cannot be shorter than 28 digits but, again, I have modeled it on the number of button presses required of me to access my account balance on your phone bank service. As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Let me level the playing field even further. When you call me, press buttons as follows: IMMEDIATELY AFTER DIALING, PRESS THE STAR (*) BUTTON FOR ENGLISH #1. To make an appointment to see me #2. To query a missing payment. # 3. To transfer the call to my living room in case I am there. #4 To transfer the call to my bedroom in case I am sleeping #5. To transfer the call to my toilet in case I am attending to nature. #6. To transfer the call to my mobile phone if I am not at home. #7. To leave a message on my computer, a password to access my computer is required. Password will be communicated to you at a later date to that Authorized Contact mentioned earlier. #8. To return to the main menu and to listen to options 1 through 7. #9. To make a general complaint or inquiry The contact will then be put on hold, pending the attention of my automated answering service. #10. This is a second reminder to press* for English. While this may, on occasion, involve a lengthy wait, uplifting music will play for the duration of the call. Regrettably, but again following your example, I must also levy an establishment fee to cover the setting up of this new arrangement. May I wish you a happy, if ever so slightly less prosperous New Year? Your Humble Client And remember: Don't make old People mad. We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to piss us off.

Hey, nice catch....and the fish looks good too!!

Kingston at White's. A friend of mine went there regularly and chatted with Baun when things weren't too busy. He forewarned me that, if I went there, not to ask about that famous goal. Apparently he was tired of being asked about that.

True, you cannot set a date by mail, but you can tick off a box on the back of the ticket that says you intend to contest it.

Nope, sorry. Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, as they say.(Gotta at least get the town or city right)

That's ridiculous!!! Not a great way to encourage the public to have respect for the law!!!

OK, we have a 2 time winner!!. So many got the right answer---I guess the question was a bit too easy. Here's a double-barreled question for the 'grand prize' of 12 of the same liquid: Which former teammate of Tim's owned an operated a Timmys in the GTA and where was it loated?

OK, for a free 6 pack of Coors Lite( I drink a vaguely similar product called beer but don't know what to do with this stuff) name 1 other NHLer who owned a donut shop(maybe several).

Or...........if you have a spare rod tip lying around, you could cut it to suit, drill a hole in a wooden dowel and stick the tip into it.

Might be a tad tricky in a canoe, though!

Thx very much, TD. That gives me some ideas for next summer and maybe late spring. I have gone out on Lake O. on a friends boat using big cannonballs foe salmon. It's OK fun, but not the same as w/o all that weight.

TD, I often fish from a canoe. I don't know much about downriggers. I thought they were those heavy cannon ball things that folks use on bigger boats on Lake O etc . I have trouble visualizing how you would use that in a kayak. I'd be very interested to hear more details re your e-way swivel setup. Don't you still need quite a heavy sinker to get down deep, depending on the speed of course.

Holy smoke, what a fish!!! And he has a belly like he's been sitting on the couch drinking beer. How about the story behind it---we'd love to hear it! (Don't say you lost an even bigger one before that!).

Are you saying that some fishermen exaggerate? No, never, at least nobody I know!!

OK, thx. Just got lazy and skimmed thru the text---mostly looked at those beautiful fish!

On the third and fourth pix it looks like you were using a Rapala as well as a roe bag. Correct? How did you rig them? thx

You folks new here? This is Canada---it's winter---it gets cold---it snows---get used to it!
