    2020 NFL/NCAAF News and Nonsense

    I will gamble. But only when I have some control over the sequence of events. Play 9 or 8 ball on a table, catch the biggest fish, shoot hoops or a 40 yard dash (40 years ago). Bet on Football, insanity to me. And I don't believe anyone would bet that much coin especially on a NFL game for a...

    Back on the water, catching fish

    A fish is a fish no matter what size. I should be fishing The Peace River and Charlotte Harbor this time of the year. Can't cross the border to get to the new place in Florida. Frustrating but necessary to keep people safe. I picked up the condo for a song in July.

    2020 NFL Week - 10

    Almost recovered from the Bills, Cards game. I would rather loose like that to a good team than the 45-7 losses in the previous 20 some odd years to not so good teams. I might need a few more years to recover, 4 consecutive Super Bowl losses never heals, the Music City Miracle has left a faint...

    Nobody fishing?

    We have a freshwater fish in the Great Lakes we call a Silver Bass that gets to about 16" max. A very sweet meat very fresh, more than 2nd day and it's fertilizer. Does not freeze well either. Here is a good size Canadian Lake Erie Walleye or locally known as a Pikeral.

    2020 NFL/NCAAF News and Nonsense

    We have no idea if Bell was a distraction, contraction or no action. All we can do is wait and see. I don't think Jim Brown in his prime could run behind that abomination of a offensive line in NY or is it NJ? I wouldn't be to happy if I was a Jersey boy paying taxes to the county and state to...

    2020 NFL - Week 5

    A beat down is mild. They were trounced. Derick Henry is a beast for sure.

    2020 NFL - Week 5

    I should not post after copious amounts of cheap Vodka. Not a good game for the Bills, a better team won tonight, 20 cases of Covid or not.

    2020 NFL - Week 5

    I wrote at 6:30 EST, "Me tinks it's a gonna be a good game tonight." I can't be right 100% of the time." I had a big day today, up early at noon. This slowly became a blow out. Josh Norman who has had a Golden Jacket of a career so far may never recover if he looked at the film of him getting...

    2020 NFL - Week 5

    The Bills, Tennesee game is on. It was Payton Manning that once said "every interception has a story but no one wants t hear it.' Josh Allen threw a 95 MPH fastball that was intercepted, long story nobody wants to hear. Tennesee scores a TD and are up 7 zip with 13 minutes left in the quarter...

    Carbon Monoxide Co2 is Co2

    I've brought this up more than a few times in my day. We are well into storm season in the east of North America and with those storms comes electrical failures. Someone is going to die because people refuse to heed the warnings not to use a gas BBQ indoors to keep warm or cook. OK, anything...

    I experienced a "Road Rage" incident.

    I'm going into the grocery store the other day and a older model black Toyota Camry is parked near me. I see the licence plate frame has the name of a car dealership I recognize but not why I recognize it. I also notice the back seat of this heap that hasn't been washed in a decade has crap...

    Robot lawnmower. Anyone?

    I went to our local farm supply outlet to pick up a new BBQ curbside and they handed me a brochure for the Huquavarna automower 310. Does anyone have one of the robot lawnmowers? Do they work or are they a gimmick until all the kinks are engineered. I do know Husquavarna makes quality products...

    Not a puff of tar in over a month.

    We are both doing well with the smokes. With all that's going on in the World I figured that the stress we are all fighting we might as well give it a shot. Did use Nicorette gum and spray for those urges for a while but down to zero now.. I haven't been on my forums for a few weeks. My habit...

    StarCraft bilge pumps, where are they?

    1994 StarCraft Superfisherman 190. The 3 bilge pumps, 1 baitwell and 2 live wells aren't working. Strange all 3 at the same time. I can't see the fuse box for the life of me. Mechanics must have a trick, the fuse box is buried under the driver scouncil facing inwards, rediculous. Where are...

    Do you think you will change after this Corona thing has been defeated?

    I am sure I will be more diligent in public as far as little things like sneezing into my arm not into my hands as I was taught many years ago to do. I am always reaching out my hand to greet or meet someone. If you are femaleand you are a close freind or relative you get the 2 cheek kiss from...

    XFL anyone?

    I watched a bit of a game last weekend and am watching Tampa Bay vs. Houston right now. I kinda' like it. Quick action with a 25 second play clock, no extra point attempts, 1 point if you score from the 2 yd line, 2 points from the 5 and 3 points from the 10. Kick off team can't advance until...

    A tragic story that hits close to home. Peacock Point on the Canadian side of the lake isn't 10 minutes by boat from us. 3 children were playing on what little ice we have here in the area and the 9 year old and another went through it. The article explains the rest. We are on the next point...

    Today is a statutory holiday in Ontario Canada

    I don't know about the rest of the country but today is something called "Family Day" a paid holiday in Ontario. When it first came out about 20 years ago it was called "Heritage Day" for some reason they changed it. Probably because we don't have much heritage I dunno. But there isn a hockey...
