Been working on another 16 foot by 5 1/2 foot wide aluminum boat I got the other day, keeping me busy and out of trouble.  Things are rolling along, but going to be needing a windshield for the front of it.  If anyone has one that they don’t need or don’t use any more and not wanting to much money I would sure appreciate hearing from you.  I will give dimensions once I find some one that has one.  I did put a bead of Marine Glue on the old one yesterday, which I am hoping will hold things till I find another.  Got to be one out there somewhere.  Other than that, gardens are growing nicely.  Salads bowls are heaping full come supper time.  Pretty tasty let me tell ya.   Hot one yesterday an will be the same today, so good idea to keep th blinds down this morning and ceiling fan circulating the air a bit through the day.  That is all we ever use and our home is nice and cool all day and night.  Never need an air-conditioner.  So there you have it, have a great day and enjoy the sunshine.  Oh and for those that might have a boat windshield you can reach me at [email protected]   Thanks!!

Quiet day today, not much movement up and down the highway.  All the travelers that were on the roads have made it to their destination and is resting up for the coming week, I suspect.  Can’t say I rightly blame them neither.  Yesterday I took our Giesler boat out with my lovely wife and have to say it sure was pretty out there.  I didn’t get any fish though but did  hook on one nice one.  Didn’t have it hooked good enough I guess and as it flipped itself out of the water, it shook the hook right out of its mouth.  If there is anyone that has ways of that not happening let me know, as have lost a lot of fish that way lately.  Thinking my hook is to large or something that is on the lure I am using.  Maybe get to changing that.  At any rate, we had a great afternoon let me tell ya. Sunshine on ones back, calm water with s light breeze, taking in all the smells and surrounded by nothing but what nature has to offer.  That is what life is all about.  Well tea time here my friends so have a great day.  Oh with the bug report, the Black Flies and Mosquito’s weren’t bad at all out there on the water yesterday.

Well other than a great looking day out there not much going on.  Folks are busy at their cottages and I am sure more will be headed this way through out the day, being Friday.  I was talking to a OPP Officer in Britt the other day and he said the Highways were hectic out there with accidents and folks speeding.  You know….driving to fast doesn’t in reality get you to your destination any quicker. What it does do though, is put you, your family and others, in a greater risk bracket of not getting there at all, or becoming seariously hurt.  When that happens no one wins my friends, so drive according to what is specified and drive safe.  Bug report;  Black fies and Mosquitoes still not to bad but they are out there.  Not enough to discourage a fellow or gal from fishing though.  Have a great day my friends.
