Thanks Tom The top one is for a friend who made the reel. He chose the wood based on the acrylic he had previously bought, Great match.

Sharing a little of what I've been up to lately and daily. Lots of rod work when I'm not cooking. These two builds showing reel seat to grip designs created by me were recently featured on CTS' FB page.

He's on his sail boat heading back south, currently in the Erie Canal. A quote from his FB page four hours ago. " We are stuck at a lock that has closed for the weekend. Oh well, the weather is supposed to be bad anyway. "

It's sad. But closer to home (very close to home) I know of a chain of spring fed lakes that has had perch, smallmouth bass and pike intentionally introduced into a natural Brook Trout lake because the locals couldn't catch the Brook Trout. Suffice to say, the Brook Trout have suffered huge. Even more disturbing is these fools have now introduced the three species into an upper Saugeen watershed that was once home to natural self sustaining Brook Trout.

LOL....When my neighbours crank up their outdoor speakers with country, I reciprocate with Tool. No mercy!

You just can't play this loud enough.......!

So very sad and so very wrong.

As have I Brian, terribly sad. I've just heard that it's not Kevin. Who knows? But whether it's him or not I'm certain that any chance of finding him alive as long since past.

That's correct Sinker. " The fisherman, identified by police as Toronto resident Kevin Wong, was reportedly filming a video with a friend when he disappeared. Police say the friend was out on the water in a separate boat and lost sight of the 31-year-old shortly before noon." https://www.cp24.com/mobile/news/search-resumes-for-fisherman-missing-in-ajax-1.4083860

I was told early this morning that it was BFSC. Tragic regardless of who it is.

What's up with that big eye staring at me.......

Looking good Sir. Oh and I'm out of salsa.

It's all pretty quiet here just below the escarpment. Must be something going right over my head.

Yum!

Had some for dinner Bruce, warmed up with some lean ground beef over pasta.....delicious!

I stocked up on Bruce's salsa..... I did leave a little for you though Albert. Good to see you today Bruce. Many thanks.

Nice to see you pop in CH Jr. I miss those days very much hosted annually by you your Mom and Dad for many years. I do still keep in touch with your Mom via FB. You grew up in a very special place, many a fond memory for me there. Be well.

That nonsense can get you in a whole lot of trouble real quick. If'n you want make it personal take it to PM.

Thanks TJ

Peanut Butter and Banana......giddy up!

Seriously! Well done Sir, looks every bit as good as described.

Outstanding Simon. Looks delicious. Well done.
