What a beauty. Congrats.

I just talked to my boss Wayne and we are too busy. I thought I could sneak out for a few days but I can't. Lloyd's record is safe. Lol. Sorry man. I was really getting excited at the prospect.

Oh just so you know. I think Lloyd is a bum and I will catch a 45 pound Lake Trout. Take that Lloyd , you bum.

Ok. Dismiss my pm. I will talk to my boss tomorrow. I would love the opportunity. I will get back up you tomorrow night.

Wayne, Is that next week, wed the 23rd? I would love to try to wiggle this in. Lemme know and I will talk to my super!!

Awesome.

Work has institutionalized me into waking up this early, even on the weekends when I do not have to. December 30th 2041. I retire. It falls on a monday. Aloha.

I think if making jokes about starving children in third world nations is classless and repulsive. This is not that. The fact that what is happening is positive and worth getting excited about would seperate it. People are demanding their freedom from these despots and this is worth celebrating. Throw in a Leafs joke and it is fine because the joke is about the Leafs not the people. I really think you are stretching here. I happen to think Dave is a pretty classy dude and innocent on the charge you are laying.

I made a similar comment a few pages back as I never know what to say either. Just a quick reminder to Wayne that there are a bunch of us quietly rooting for you guys.

My better half has a strong dislike for the sun and heat as I do. She likes to come with me when I rent cabins. Problem is this, she loathes camping and I have a love for it. I want to start doing a fair deal of camping as my boy is almost two. Looks like I might have to wait a few years until he is old enough so I can take him myself. Oh well at least she does not want to drag me to the carribean to sit in people's pee at the swim up bar.

I for one have always been a big fan of the evening bite over the morning bite. I still fish both as I am well aware of the benefits of the morning bite. I just love fishing as the sun goes down and I visualize as it gets darker how the world comes into focus for the walleye. In the morning it seems I am in a rush to catch fish as the bite wanes, but in the evening it is just heating up.

Atta boy. I got a good chuckle out of that. Hey Lyra, there are acouple different types of anglers. People who like to fish and people who like to catch fish. Clearly you are the former. Good for you.

Looks like it scopes in for transport. Excellent.

Well done. I like the long ice scoop so you can clean the holes standing up straight.

Right on. Nice fish. Stuffing dead fish down the hole sucks but it is what you have to do.

Great report. All those hours on the ice and no hut? You guys are as tough as nails. I hope you get well as quickly as possible.

Awesome. That guy rules. I bet the Kawartha Muskies guys are trying to get a hold of him as we speak.

Nice haul. That first one is quite plump.

That sucks. I liked having that shop there. I hope it all works out for him.

Toronto would do good with an NFL franchise. We should have our own franchise not Buffalo's. Why would we want the Bills? There are enough terrible teams up here.

I do not agree. I thought he addressed his concerns in a dignified way. You have 19 posts on this board and I would bet that all of them have to do with your own agenda. Do not be such a bully. I do not have a pony in this race as I do not fly fish nor do I float fish.

You are probably down to your last one by now. Don't smoke it. Eat it. Eat the damn thing, then you will really hate them. lol. Good luck.

What a chubby Laker. It must have been something slogging through all that snow. I am glad you were rewarded with an amazing day.

I remember that feeling. Oh crap, half a pack left. That was Feb 6th 2010. Almost a year. Two packs a day to nothing. The first couple of weeks are like hell. I had the sweats like a junky and everything. Do not make excuses for your self. Do not entertain the thought that it is ok to slip up. Your lungs are going to feel great. I can now shovel my whole driveway without a rest or even a second thought. My muscles get oxygen now instead of carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide and hemoglobin are a better match than oxygen and hemoglobin. If given the choice hemoglobin will pick up carbon monoxide. Hemoglobin transports oxygen in your blood to your muscles, but if you smoke it brings carbon monoxide, so not only are you out of breath because of tar lung your muscles are getting poisoned. The cravings go away. I moved a buddies car out of my way the other day and the smell inside was disgusting, my truck used to smell that way. You can do it. You owe yourself that much. Excel Polar Ice. Carrot sticks. Water. It has been a year for me and I went from 6'2" 217 (not bad) to 6'2" 235 (getting a boiler). Next project is weight. I am slowly and surely taking my body back. You will not be sorry you decided to do the same.

I thought it said "what a great beard". Was expecting a portrait of an impressive beard Like This perhaps. Just for the record, I like this board as well.
