Fishy,

I prefer Michael Corleone's quote...

It's not personal Sonny, it's business!

He also had my latest quote which is how I feel right now about my beloved Pale Hose... They are dead to me! LOL

Just emailed with our old pal, Buzzsaw. He says hi to everyone.

Windy,

Since it is so recent and still in our minds, I have decided your avatar for the first week in July wll be, "The Broom" so you are always to be reminded who the better Chgo team is. How do you say it? "I haven't seen a beating like that since someone put a banana down my pants and let a monkey loose".

Hey Geno,

Do you have any idea what the total record is for Sox/Cubs since interleague started?

Windy

If you mean Sox vs Cubs, the series is about dead even. As it should be IMO. That's what makes rivalries so much more fun than a "normal" game. 29-28 or something. I can't believe they have played that many already.

Spinner,

That's about what I thought it was. Dead even. I will try that url Geno, I hope it does not lead me to some porn pic or Hawk and DJ in a hot tub sipping mojitos or anything weird like that...LOL

Windy,

LOL, I'm thinking you're lucky this is a family site.

BTW, Ozzie must have stolen your Corleone speech and used it on your team this week. Best results they have had in awhile. I wonder how the Godfather lines sound in Spanglish? smile.gif

Geno,

I tried using your link and all I get now is this stupid red x. I need some help from the techies out there, remember you are dealing with a computer dinosaur here.

I'm afraid the "Red X" means you've been marked for deletion.

Not sure if it's too late or not, but I think I'd start an "I love Joe Mauer thread" if I were you.

Windy,

Sure, nice try, but I feel you are not trying hard enough??

Just right-click on the pic in my post and save it to your pc. Then put it in your photo site (I use photobucket.com) and tag that URL as your avatar.

OR send me your email and I'll send you the jpg file for you to setup as your avatar.

Spinner,

Are you just yanking my chain? I have been a good boy, no bad posts or photos in forever. I sure hope that is not what this means. If so, I may have to reconsider my affiliation to this site.

Geno,

I will try what you told me and see if it works. I am not yanking your chain, Geno. You have seen me put a few aviatars up but it is always a chore.

OK Geno,

I got it to work, I copied your thread and then pasted it into the my home page. I think Spinner was just trying to stir the pot Geno? What do you think? Enjoy your spoils of victory, short lived as they may be, LOL!

Before I can answer your tongue-in-cheek "short lived" comment, I will have to research the schedule for this month BUT 5 games is alot for the WSox to make up on the 2ND PLACE Cubbies.

"Spinner,

Are you just yanking my chain?"

Yes Windy, I heard that you are being watched close. Nice avatar BTW.

I'm a rebel, Spinner. Just the other day I tore the little tag off my mattress that says "Do not remove, Under Penalty of Law". I don't care man, they can't stop me!

Schedule looks pretty tough for the WSox (Kitties, Twinks, Tribe, O's, and BoSox) so I think you had better get used to a Cubbie avatar, Windy.

Tell me about it, and the Cubbies have a walk in the park for what looks to be 2 months at least. I guess I can take solace in the fact that I am old and can't really see the avatar too clearly, especially without my specs!!! LOL

  • 2 weeks later...

That's kind of fuzzy but hey it's your dime your dancefloor. Let's wait until it's official on July 31st. Remember,I will be up at Cass until Aug 5th so you may have to wait until then to see your lovely fuzzy red and blue logo. But hey, my beloved could mount a huge come back combined with the Cubbies going into a slide and then....

Monkeys could fly out of our butts!!! LOL

Enjoy it now Geno,

Your Cubbies are like butter....On A Roll!

But beware the Ides of August (or is that March)

I have only four words of warning Geno.........

One

Nine

Six

Nine

We all know what that spells....1969! LOL

Did you leave any mushroom swiss burgers at the Hole or did you guys scarf them all???

Plenty of M/Swiss left for you....got there later than I wanted to since the Kitchi pike action was hot that morning. I had a heckuva time docking at PHole and all the guys got a great laugh watching me - almost took out a guy's lower unit but I got her docked safely. Then after lunch we had the scariest boat ride in my 30 yrs to Cass when leaving the Turtle River back for BVilla. Out to O'Neils shoulda been 5 mins but took me 20. I was never so scared on Cass and I been out there in lots of big rollers before, but that day was the worst ever for me.

Be careful and stay safe.

And catch lots of fishees.

Oh yeah, and say hi to Brian and Commanche when you see them.

PS I would have really enjoyed last night after my Cubbies came from behind but your PaleHose couldn't quite give back all of their big (9 run?) lead...lucky you got Jenks.

But they tried they only fell one run short of giving it back! You got to love our bullpen! Buckvich, Dey and somebody named Boone, all those famous names that every other team is trying to steal from my beloved Pale Hose. I am sure they are putting the finishing touches on Mr. Buckvich's plaque for Cooperstown right now!!!! ARGGHHHHHHH

We've still got Cotts in the minors to give back if you want him.

Oh yeah, and that "early in the season" comment I made about Ohman.......I take it back now.

I just gotta love it when Mike North is talking about how he would love to have Ronny Cedeno playing SS for your Sox instead of that "fat guy who dodged the murder charge". Cedeno can't even sit on our bench as he too is in our minors now.

My first chance to gloat in awhile, so I know you'll let me enjoy it while it lasts.

And how about us getting Kendall?

not a cubs fan at all, but the Kendall move is a good one, especially when you look at what the cubs gave up to get him. Solid catcher and hitter and good in the clubhouse. I still think the cubs need another OF to make it really interesting coming down the stretch. Brew Crew losing Sheets for ?? helps alot. How much can Cubs gain with Sheets out?? That's the difference to me.

But we still will have the Cards breathing down our neck when Edmonds and Carpenter return.

If the monster of subs(Floyd, DeRosa, Pie, Jones, etal) that we have playing outfield can hold up, then we won't need another OF.

Long ways to go still. Every journey begins with that first step - just one at a time (beat Barry tonight I hope).

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .  
    • SkunkedAgain
      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!
    • PSU
      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
    • leech~~
      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!  
    • jim curlee
      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
