Canadian Stuff

Actually looked for the rods and tackle, no where to be found which is odd. Should have been at my mother's or brother's place. Whenever I see an ad for a rod in the fliers I sometimes think I should go out and get one. But then need to get all the other stuff.

Busted 7" off the tip off my 5/6wt fly rod which had already lost about 5" off the top of the butt end when my dog as a puppy chewed on it 25 years ago so that 8' rod was down to just under 7' and doesn't cast worth shit. I bought a cheap replacement I'm not happy with so picking out the parts I'll need to build my own custom one. Sage or Orvis blanks are $500+ so going with a lesser known brand but gets great reviews for $150 then another $100 or so for the rest of the parts. Haven't built a rod since '84 but still love fishing with my 7/8wt Powell that cost me $200 for the parts back then.

Bought 2 other rods recently that were $180 each. 9'6" spinning rod that casts like a bullet loaded up with 10# braid line. First time I tried that stuff and I'm liking it. The 10# braid is thinner than the 6# mono I took off the reel with zero memory and zero stretch. The other rod is an 11' float/drift rod and I don't even have a centre-pin reel tho it should work great with my Abu Garcia baitcaster or a spinning reel. It's a Luhr-Jensen and the matching centre-pin reel is another $250 on Amazon . ca so that can wait. My son fishes one of those out in BC for salmon/steelhead and loves it.

Here it's mostly pike and walleye so I'm just getting back into fly-tying and dressing up a bunch of jigs to go after them with. Now I need some newfangled head cement that's water based and uses UV light to make it set up fast. Got a bottle of the old fashioned solvent based stuff and the jigs still stink a week later.

Huge dump of rain here with lots more coming so the wife has me helping her get the garlic in before it goes bad. Smoke break over so out to pick peas before they go to shit too.

The cost of housing and groceries are the main issues driving up expenses for people. The government needs to get into the low-cost housing market again and open up more competition for groceries by various means.

Good help is hard to get...

And the cops should have drove me home all those youthful nights in response to the disability I was under at the time.

People who are legally blind have a disability too, should they be driving trucks?

Is the court gonna order a reduction in the increased insurance premium that I assume her employer has to pay?

Oh please no, oh please no.


But it would be funny on one level. Wearing the Liberal red.

Did some yard cleanup tonight, lit the plant trimmings that have accumulated for the last year. Ran to get the camera, thought it might have burned cleaner. Was really thick but settled down by the time I took the picture.

because the steaks have never been higher

For America that would mean 4 to 5 million more, mostly brown, new citizens a year and the magats would not be happy at all, they are all educated in civics and American history better than most Americans as a requirement of citizenship.

I’m surprised nobody else noted that you seem to be smoking your Cannabis.

I was hoping to smell up the neighbourhood but it just smelled like regular smoke. I loaded it up in the winter but was too chicken to spark it up.

Hey Canadian guys, my previous Clinic, The Clinic Network Canada folded and I have to find another to get my ACMPR paperwork that does not cost an arm and a leg? Called up one and they want $250 +100 year.
