and a T-bone once in awhile.

I sure am glad we bought new furniture last week for the basement. Be nice if I could actually use it some day ?. 

One of my latest projects at work. The first two pics are of a fireplace that came from a cottage that’s been in my customers family for over 100 years. They tore it down, and brought the stone about an hour drive to their current cottage, and I reused the stone to build a new, much more efficient and safer fireplace ( last pic). I’ve had the chance to reuse/rebuild several extremely old fireplaces over the years, and I always enjoy the fact that the finished product came from someone else’s work that was done perhaps over 100 years before I was even born. Being a fourth generation stonemason, I’ve even had the privilege of doing this a few times with fireplaces my grandfather and great grandfather built many years ago. 

Not sure why it’s sideways, but you get the point?

That’s cool, and nice work!

My last boat ride of the season today. Didn’t get a chance to wet a line, but I had to install a wood stove and chimney on an island on Georgian Bay. Air temp was 17deg F when I launched at 8:00. Took a minute for the water to thaw the boat enough to float off the bunks. She’s now parked in the garage for the night, and gonna be winterized and put into hibernation tomorrow. 

I was standing one foot away , cast out and looked down. 

This is what was there.

Is that a good snake or a bad snake?

"Good" may be directly related to proximity.

It's just a water snake, non-venomous. I almost stepped on a really cold one this morning when I stepped off the dock to get the truck. Had to pick him up and move him out of the way before the next guy stepped on him or killed him for just being a snake.

 

I didn't even want to catch the stupid white bass, but then he had to go and do this to my reel when I grabbed him ?

Tell me you wouldn't consider it ?
