Big storm? Big decisions. Hockey? Or fishing?

Taken a few minutes ago on the little pond where I sometimes Kayak.

Ditch the kayak and grab the snow shoes?
Stay safe & warm, mate.
My friend Liam paddles the Thames (the real Thames in London, Ontario, Canada) in minus 10 temperatures.



Dry suit and partner are essential.

But yesterday it was minus 22, so he decided to take his photo from shore.



Regarding the Thames in London England. My wife and I received a wonderful tour on a police boat courtesy of the Metropolitan Police. It was impressive.

Did they also drive you around in a blue light taxi and offer accommodation in HM's Stone & Bars Hotel?

The Thames. Too thin to walk on, too thick to drink!

Terribly sad day here...



Long before she found success in films and on Schitt's Creek, she was part of, IMO, the best TV comedy show ever, SCTV. She created and played so many fantastic characters over the years.

Actually in the 🇺🇸 earning money 💵 to buy as much of Tasmania as I can 😉
About 14 000 kms away. Long live OF.

Bit closer at the moment…

So he taught you how to sharpen blades by video?

As a ex-butcher and a knife maker….it’s basically good advice and instruction

Funny as I visited a USMC Major,s house for a beer 🍻 and a 🍕 last night and showed him how to sharpen more efficiently (pizza boxes didn’t stand a chance)

I think we might have to lock this thread temporarily as it appears there isn’t a great deal to appreciate after all.

New Zealand has offered political asylum to the entire Canadian hockey team where they have an opportunity to redeem themselves by learning rugby.

Pour out a bottle of maple syrup for the boys

Trust me, no one is angry at the players. The refs who blew a ton of calls, like when the US had 7 men on the ice, well they should probably go incognito for a while.

Canada did still take out the men’s curling so at least they have that and don’t need to hold a royal commission into the results
