Well that sucks Emil. I'm sure something will come along before long.

I wish Hamilton City council (Ont) thought like you do.

Nice.

Sounds like your typical Mom, spoil the Grandkids, spoil the dog.

Hey my neighbour is out there helping my 15 year old son do our drive and sidewalk after she finished doing her own. Sadly though her own 15 year old son is sleeping while his Mom does all the work..... Oh and how is Zoey liking all this snow Mike?

What I was trying to say is, the dark meat along the lateral line (a sensory organ) fat, bloodline (?), tastes like crap and perhaps is more prominent in the winter (?), remove and discard, especially oilier fish like trout, salmon and whitefish.....

I'd be happy with any one of those fishies.

I left Bell a few years back for better and cheaper service and haven't been dissapointed. Bell however has never stopped harrassing me to return, won't happen! But it would seem they can still affect what I pay. This is the letter I received from my ISP.... Dear Mr. Chris As you may have heard, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) has recently approved Bell Canada’s request to introduce Usage Based Billing on wholesale Internet services. The CRTC’s decision directly affects the High-Speed Internet service provided to you by Primus Canada and, unfortunately, the newly associated costs to Primus make the unlimited Internet service you are now enjoying no longer financially viable. This serves as 30 days notice that beginning February 1, 2011 there will be changes to your Internet service provided by Primus. As a result, the following changes will apply commencing your February invoice: Your existing High Speed Internet plan will now have 25GB of monthly usage included For the minority of customers who exceed this amount, additional usage up to 300GB will be charged at $2.00/GB to a maximum of $60.00/month. Usage in excess of 300GB per month will be charged an additional $1.10/GB Additional Usage Plans can be purchased starting at $5/month for an additional 40GB

The "red meat" is the lateral line and is a sensory organ. Best removed and discarded IMHO.

Shut up Farmer.

Micro breweries, well if you count the basement brewing I did for over 20 years I'd say I had some of the best (IMHO). ChrisK now has most of my equipment and has produced some mighty fine product. I've sampled a lot of Mirco Brewery beers over the years and one that stands out for me is/was the Niagara Brewing Company. Been a while since I had one but from what I can see from quick research it appears that they were bought out by Moosehead and relocated. A personal comment on Steam Whistle, thought it to be one of the worst beers I've ever had.

Ahhhhhh, NO!

Just teasing you Rick, you asked for a trout rod and you're catching whities, don't get me wrong, I love whities. I'm just looking forward to the report where your new rod puts a hurt'n on some big lakers.

Sheeeesh, they don't look like Lakers Rick but I'm pleased your enjoying the rod. They're not so hard to get Jacques, I'm taking orders for next years ice season.

Hahahahahaha....

Think I mentioned that. The trouble is not so much with the tire as it is with who you let drive the truck....

Seems to be getting more than a little personal. If you want to express your concerns, here is the link. http://ontora.ca/ont...-1/#comment-223

Cheating death on Long Point Bay January 29, 2011 Monte SONNENBERG, QMI Agency tillsonburgnews.com ST. WILLIAMS -A major tragedy south of St. Williams was narrowly averted last weekend thanks to luck and the knowledge three local men have of Long Point Bay in winter. The alarm went up around 6:20 p.m. Saturday after two men and two women from the Tillsonburg area failed to report to shore after a day of ice fishing. The group had travelled out to the hut earlier in the day on an all-terrain vehicle. They had a GPS unit, but didn't know how to use it properly. The private hut they were using was one kilometre off shore. The four packed up to leave around 5 p.m. By that time, however, a fierce snowstorm was blowing across the bay. As darkness fell, the group became disoriented and ended up heading in the direction of Pottahawk Point. Seven kilometres south of St. Williams, they stopped and agreed they were lost. They dialled 911 on a cell phone. As the OPP so frequently do under these circumstances, they dialled up reliable members of the St. Williams-Port Rowan community who have knowledge of Long Point Bay. Despite the darkness, dangerous sub-zero temperatures, the howling storm and the risk of frostbite, Darren Propper, Rex Easton and ice-fishing operator Jimmy Granger answered the call. The Tillsonburg foursome would likely have died save for one clue. As they headed south toward open water, one of them noticed a buoy with the serial number EC-5. Propper knew where that was. It also told him the group was in serious danger. Wednesday, he said it was only by luck that they were able to find the "needle in the haystack." "This was unchartered ice," Propper said. "No one had been out that far that I can remember. Let me tell you, it was spooky. It was cold, and there was a blizzard." Propper, Easton and Granger set out on snowmobiles accompanied by two OPP officers on ATVs. The snowstorm was so thick that they had to leap-frog their way to the area of the missing anglers. One group would drive ahead until their lights were barely visible, then the rest of the team would catch up and so on. The mission was harrowing because the ice is thinner the farther away one gets from shore. Crashing through and getting wet during the coldest weather of the season would likely have been fatal. Around 9 p.m., the stranded party saw the rescuers' headlights in the distance and headed toward them. By cell phone, they guided Propper, Easton, Granger and the OPP to their location. "It was the needle in the haystack," Propper said. "They (the OPP) wouldn't have found them until the storm had cleared. It was nasty, just nasty. I even had my doubts that we would find them." The missing anglers were scared and chilled to the bone but otherwise uninjured. On shore, they were treated by paramedics. Propper has worked in the ice fishing industry for 16 years. He shared several things anglers can do to avoid near-death experiences such as this. First, having a working cell phone is essential. As well, anglers should park their snowmobiles and ATVs facing shore in case they are blinded by a snowstorm. Working with a compass and driving slowly, anglers should be able to make it home despite conditions of limited visibility. Propper also recommends getting off the ice well before sundown. As well, never venture onto the ice when it is snowing or if the forecast calls for snow.

Verklemptness always makes typing difficult. And thank you Cliff for sharing Jackie's words with us.

Anyone here ever read the rules? Seriously? Please do not post VERY SPECIFIC information on fishing spots, ie pinpoint locations and maps. It is our belief that sharing this type of knowledge to the general public is not at all good for the resource itself. When communicating info on spots, please keep it to email or a PM. This isn't rocket science, just common sense for Christ's sake!

I won't say anything Mike, but I was surprised at how little room it took up next to the big tiller. Gonna be a real fuel saver this spring.

What time do we eat.

It took me a while to figure it out Dave as it sure appears as though they're hanging from the buck.

Well I believe to the left of Gord right above the railing is a trailer (black) and the chains would be on the trailer toungue.
