Ha, yeah he did, I'll still take him out fishing , I never herd from him after he fixed the starter but let him know in the spring if he wants and you too if you feel like it. Whether or not we find a musky is another story

 

Dang John! That creek usually wasn`t more than a slow trickle, some kid of blockage from the ice? Global warming means you can now go by boat all the way for beer runs? Store? WOW Last time I was up the only store I remembered was Kennedy`s.

 

Hope everyone makes out OK!

 

Thanks. I'm not sure why it flooded, obvious factors was the amount of snow we had this year and 2 days of heavy rain and wind, I've only been here for a few years but a old local told me the only time it flooded before was a 1953 hurricane. Wouldn't that be nice if you didn't have to walk the whole 50 yards to the LCBO, lol, boat through window.

 

 

 

 

 

OK the road is open again guys as of around 5am, I guess when the heavy winds died down the water leveled out, the water on the road is gone. The gas station is still under ice but the traffic is fine on 69..

John, do you know Eldon, the manager of the LCBO? Him and I grew up together south of Parry Sound.

WOW..what a mess,they were showing lots of areas on the news today about all the flooding up that way !!!!there sure is going to be lots of damage when all this is over,and now they are going to be getting a storm with lots of snow & rain,i think its going to get worse before it gets better,i hope nobody is hurt or trapped by floodwaters.....

[GbayGiant]

No problem guys, looks like the weathers calling for colder temps again so hopfully it's back to normal for a gradual melting spring.

 

 

John, do you know Eldon, the manager of the LCBO?

 

Yeah, great guy, I've had a couple people ask me about him he's a popular fella.
