Good Morning!!!!!!

[The General]

I made it through the day.  People bitching and complaining all day and then not taking my advise.  Makes a guy just want to hang up on them.  Thankfully I just kept thinking 1 more day then it's off to Canada.  No phones just friends and fishing. 

[HD]

I hear ya G, they wanted me to cancel mine....and I just laughed and laughed.....

Packing and precooking today is the game plan.

Sounds like people are ready for some cool weather to improve our attitudes.  I am.  Have fun in Canada you guys.  About 20 years ago two friends of mine whe really didn't do much fishing decided to go to Canada fishing.  They went on the opening weekend of duck hunting and were a little mad I wouldn't go with them.  They went just north of Winnipeg.  The guide they were with was a good guy and they had fun.  They called me one day and one of them caught a walleye that was just shy of 10 lbs.  That was a monster to us.  Then the other buddy caught one a hair over 10 lbs.  They loved rubbing it in to me too. lol  Well they left the walleyes with this guide and paid him for having them mounted.  He was going to mail them when they were done.  They never heard from the guy again.  He kept their money, wasn't such a good guy after all. 

Going to be about 75 here today so that is a plus.  I heard on the radio that Big Stone Co. has flood warnings due to all of the rain and it is getting rain now.  I have always liked that area.  I told the wife that if we ever move south to get closer to our families that I would want a few acres on Lake Traverse. 

Well time to go and RH don't let those wasps get you, they can hurt.  We haven't had any for awhile.  Seems like they come later here.

LPS that is a very nice area over there.  I have fished Big Stone many times and Travers once.  Well one more day of work and we are off.  No phones and no internet so you boys play nice while I'm gone.  That means Glenn and Boar

its ALWAYS boars fault!!!!!!!!!!!! the kitties away......so the mice must play!!!!!!!!!

morning fellers!!!!!!!!!!

oh and have fun in Canada!!!!!!!

[Dotch]

Yup boar, mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. Odd however when the shoe's on the other foot, it's supposed to be no big deal. For example, the wife proudly proclaimed when she got home that last night she'd got some sweetcorn at work. Sweet I thought as I hadn't sampled any yet this season. I had about a 2 hour bomb session with the tiller in the garden after chores so I got in the house about 8:30. I was wringing wet from my slaving away. Asked her if she'd eaten and she said she'd snacked but there was the sweetcorn...hint..hint. In the meantime, she'd been sitting on her butt, watching some Hallmark BS, doing sodaQ puzzles or whatever that nonsense is and yapping and texting on her cell phone. Don't husk the sweetcorn and pull yourself away from your cell phone and a precious repeat of some dumb chick flick for 5 minutes, noooooo! When I asked where the sweetcorn was and she said in the garage, the absolute hottest place it could've been kept. I was pi$$ed so grabbed the sweetcorn and went outside to husk it. When I opened the bag it smelled like silage. The top 5 or 6 ears were OK but on what was underneath, the husks were dried up and when husked it was already denting. It looked like it had been kept in a hot car all day and if I had to guess, probably had been. The ears I did manage to salvage were absolutely tasteless. Not sure the sheep will even eat it. Grrrrrrrrr!

You guys who are going to Canada, best of luck on the fishing. Wish I was going there now. My trips to Atikokan are slated for the fall. Likely one mid-September before I do unspeakable things to some of my customers and employees. The last trip's in late October to early November to help my buddy winterize his cabin and play with some of the natives.

[Dotch]

Not bad actually. Being nimble afoot and with my cat-like reflexes, I was able to elude her advances and escape to the far end of the house where I barricaded myself there. I fell into my usual deep, REM sleep due to sheer exhaustion and dreamt of my upcoming trip to Canada. 

[Boar]

i think we got the same wife dotch.

4 dozen eggs and a couple pounds of sausage later....we are almost ready to fly....

[attachment deleted by admin]

[LPS]

Not sure what you are making HD but those are two of my favorite ingredients.  I took some pork sausage awhile back and just added my own breakfast seasonings.  I love the stuff.  Almost gone.  Will have to make another batch.  Put it in 1/2 lb pkgs.  All of this Canada talk is getting to me.  Sounds like fun.

[HD]

Lps, you can't bring raw eggs or raw chicken into Canada....so, some prep has to happen. Yup, it sucks, but you do, what you gotta do.

We have never been asked about eggs.  Fruit, tobacco, bait, but never eggs.   We are canoeing so no raw chicken....

[HD]

Yup, they are still worried about the bird flu. So no uncooked poultry products.

[delcecchi]

Guys at Fort Francis never said anything about eggs when we went through in June...  This something new?
