If I had the money and the storage space my toys would many.

Does it come with holes in the floor for ice fishing ....

Brilliant!

It doesn't help us Lew, it's just chest puffing rhetorical nonsense from self important fools hoping to buy votes.

You need more toys Simon. Mmmm, Crappie.

I can't wait to see how this "stunning" piece of highly figured Quilted Poplar turns out once finished. It's in full round now and will become a reel seat, butt cap and two wood handle inserts over the next several days.

Yum, yum! That there is definitely fine dining.

Or maybe this one .....?

Anyone else remember.......?

This is sad but a poignant safety reminder about propane heaters in small places...... https://edmontonjournal.com/news/local-news/two-men-dead-ice-fishing-tent-carbon-monoxide-alberta-rcmp

I have had more than my share of issues with CP over the years Brian. I'm not sure if you remember a former member here, IceGuyD? Many years back now I ran little raffle on this site for a custom built ice rod and he "Don" won it. So he gave me his work place address to ship it to. As the weeks rolled on he failed to receive so I inquired with CP as to the whereabouts of the parcel. They claimed it was undeliverable as the address I used did not exist. Strange! When I asked why the parcel had not been returned to me they said they didn't know where it was! So they eventually issued me a cheque for the value of the contents ($150.00) as I of course had insured the parcel. So to be fair I built another rod for Don and this time delivered it to him in person on the way back from a Lefroy ice outing at the address that CP claimed did not exist, it was at the time the well known adult entertainment establishment known as "The Cannon Ball Express!" It was a good afternoon to say the least. So months passed and I'd forgotten all about it until a parcel arrived at my door. Yes, it was the ice fishing rod. It seems that once it was deemed undeliverable they sent it to a sorting facility in Ottawa rather than returning it to the provided return address on the packaging. Idiots! Needless to say, I now had the rod and I also kept the cheque.

Ya I hear it's a crap fest out there. My friend had a four day stay at Brechin's Ice Huts cancelled last Friday because of the on ice travel conditions. She told me that she was told, all operators were sadly cancelling bookings on the east side of the lake. When the Bombardiers are bogging down, not good.

Oh ya, and it's Black Forest too....Yum, Yum.

More Quiche! A busy day in the kitchen using up a mess of eggs in need of being used. My oldest daughter absconded with one of the two Quiche Pies I made a month back and the youngest was like, where's mine? Naturally So I made four Pies today, one for my youngest daughter, vegetarian (red bells, onion & broccoli) and one for my 7 year old Granddaughter whose just getting a taste for scrambled eggs (hers is just eggs and cheese). Then the last two just for me, red peppers, onions, broccoli and ham. Daughter's..... Mine......
