    Is Chris Berman un retired?

    Watching Monday Night Football. We usually get all Canadian commercials during a US telecast, including the Super Bowl. Somehow tonight I'm getting a US feed. Rare. So I'm sitting here listening more than watching and I hear Chris Berman's voice, which is unmistakeable, telling about Sunday...

    Youth all over the World protesting over our Environment

    I'm watching some kids protesting in Boston. Many around 8 years young. These kids were in tears asking for breathable fresh air. In the 70's and 80's I personally sent so much crap into the air, into the water and the ground when I was at the plant it makes my stomach turn. I'm sorry, I really...

    We have lived right on the north lakeshore of Lake Erie for over 23 years and I have been fishing on Erie for the last 50. The fish of choise here are the Yellow Perch for the table and Walleye, again for the table. This has been the best season for Walleye we have ever seen. The sizes are not...

    Alternate Endings, 6 New Ways to Die in America

    There is a documentary out there called "Alternate Endings, 6 New Ways To Die in America" It has made me think. When I was a kid one passed through this life and was buried 6 feet underground or put into a wall. Cremation was a rarity. Celebrations of life parties were rare, unless you were a...

    Search and Rescue has become a Recovery here where we live

    heard the 1st yellow Coast Guard helicopter fly by very low about 2PM. The pilot was circling our place continually, not a good sign. I was going to a friends at Featherstone Point on the west shore about 3. There were 5 OPP vehicles and about 30 folks gathered at the cottage of a very close...

    Veggie Burgers, really?

    The food sellers are really pushing these "no meat" all vegetable products up here in Canada. From grocery stores to fast food joints. Same price as real meat products. Most burgers sold frozen and in fast food joints have a ton of filler in them already, and they aren't cheap. A Big Mac, fries...

    Bass opened Sat 12 AM here in Ontario

    Strange this year, in some areas in Ontario Bass were still on beds, some areas they were long gone. Here on the north shore of Lake Erie some Smallmouth were still nesting and where I am within a few miles they left the nests this past week. Water levels are the highest I have ever seen here on...

    Too early for Super Bowl predictions?

    Most of the talking heads are on the Cleveland bandwagon. If there is such a thing they won the offseason before they had a single full pads on practice. That is just silly in my humble opinion. Those thousands of NFL "experts" have come just shy of predicting a Super Bowl win. I'm going to go...

    Can't get more redneck than this.

    We live in the rural area of a small village, no stoplight, 1 snack bar, the corner store and a post office. It's on the north shore of Lake Erie in southern Ontario. I am telling the owner of the local corner store about locking myself out of my wife's car today. That's another story, I was...

    Your best "I lent out my ???? story"

    Based on a recent thread from a fellow that was asked to lend a neighbor his newer truck I started thinking about all the horror stories I have about lending things out. I had a small 15" gas chainsaw of an obscure Japanese make. Perfect for limbing bush and small trees, light and started on...

    Mods please advise.

    When I go to check my messages a large black pop up is on screen asking me to join up for the newsletter. It does not have one of those X's that I can click on to clear it so I can get to messages. I already get info from iboats in my email. About 2 weeks now this has been happening. Please...

    The AAF is dead.

    The league didn't make it through a single season. Great product on the field, television contract. How can they go wrong? No paying fans in the seats, simple as that. I have had experience in semi-pro Football. Owners and managers project the number of bums in seats. They will project sales at...

    Wax bootom of hull or no wax.

    A recent thread was resurrected after 17 years and closed by rule. I read through it and found it very interesting. It beats staring out the window at a frozen lake. A member asked if waxing his hull would get more speed waxed than not waxed. I read the thread and it was interesting, from a...
