[Red Hering]

Winter,my 4th favourite season,(Fall is my favourite),was a great time again,especially when I did a few ice fishing trip’s recently in February & March,on long point bay. But, I was not too happy to see the snow this morning piled up again,especially on my boat,after I just recently cleaned it out,and I was anticipating my first trip somewhere on the open water,such as either on long point bay,or even on Lake Erie,Huron,etc. My other watercraft,( a recent Christmas / Birthday gift) which is a “solo” canoe/kayak hybrid,is standing by,for some crappie’s & maybe pike fishing as well,somewhere in the channel’s of long point bay,once the channel’s are thawed out again from this very recent “blast” of winter!! Finger’s crossed myself and likely others as well,will be out boating again soon,whenever this winter ever decides to leave!! Be Safe & tight lines everyone & see you on the water!! My boat has now been cleaned off again from the recent snow &
a “Thumb’s UP!!

I agree 100%.

Yesterday looking at the pool I said, "I'll be able to pump it off tomorrow (today).

Nope, not a chance.

Icing on the cake, not happy with what I pay Rodgers, so went to the mall in this crappy weather to "discuss" my concerns.

Well that didn't go well. LOL

I need to get this Season going. LOL

I’m ready to move on from the winter also. Went to the ponds today and fished in the crazy wind and blizzards. No luck for me. I’m ready to get the yak out for some crappie.

I hear ya HH. My wife and I decided to get rid of Bell (and our satellite tv through Shaw) because our internet didn't work more than it did (they came to the house 5x to "fix" the issue, told us each time it wouldn't happen again, even went so far as to install a new jack specifically for the internet, and nope 3 hours later it wasn't working again. That was it. We went to Rogers, they even gave us a brand new 42" smart tv for free as part of the promotion for new customers ($1200 tv at the time that we replaced in November when it started to have back light bleed big time, that tv only lasted for 4 years) for switching to them. Phone, internet and tv. Paid them the rate they told us for the 2 year term and when that 2 years had gone by suddenly the bill went up by over $120/month. So I called them to find out WTF was going on. They explained what had happened, and after a little discussion we decided to go from what we had when we signed up with Rogers to Rogers Ignite, and I'm paying slightly less now than I was paying prior to the initial term expiring for the same channels and services.

They sent me a promo offer to sign up Disney + and get it for a year for free so when I called and asked about it, it turns out that in order for us to do that and take advantage of that offer, we'd have to change our service package. Rogers CS rep told me if we wanted the Disney + channel it would be cheaper for us to just add it al a carte and pay the $12/month it costs to add it. We decided against it. Turns out that IF we had decided to do that, we'd be paying $60/month more than I'm paying now because the tv package and equipment we have, internet services, and phone services have all gone up substantially in price since we signed up for Ignite and because we haven't changed anything since we originally signed up 5+ years ago now, our rate is grandfathered.....but if we make any substantial changes to our services that would require them to change the service package to what is currently offered to new customers at a higher billing rate, we'd have to pay the new higher rate.

Bell keeps telling me I can upgrade my cell phone to a newer, smarter cell phone. I could, but why would I do that when doing so would mean I'd have to change my service package and that would cost me considerably more than what I'm paying now. I don't need a computer in my pocket everywhere I go. I don't have data, I don't use it to connect to the internet. It's a phone, and other than the camera feature it has, that is all I use it for so as I keep saying to Bell, why would I want to change and lose the current billing rate just so they could get more $ out of me when it's unnecessary for me to make that change. They hate that logic, but they understand why I refuse to do what THEY want me to do.

Without even saying a word a Winchester can a powerful deterrent. When they hear the back door open followed by that unmistakable metallic “chk chk” sound of the chamber closing on a pump shotgun they know they are in deep DU DU!

LOL, no @Wave Runner , the camera reports snow blowing across camera as a person, even the tarp moving enough will trigger a person alert.

Nice and sensitive.

I'm just pissed waking up to another snow day in late March.

Well you can always send the same message to "Oldman Winter." Maybe it will help. LOL!!!

I am being optimistic now that the winter will be over,because I just had my snow tires removed from my truck this morning,a appointment that I had made 2 weeks ago. But,I almost did cancel my appointment for this morning,because of the snowfall that we had received overnight & they are calling for more snow being forecasted for the whole day,and they are right,because it has been snowing steadily here in London so far for today. Finger’s crossed that todays snowfall is the last one!!

We never take the winter tires off until closer to me ending my hibernation mid to late next month or in early May. Usually once the temps and forecast stay at or above +7 consistently is when we'll get it done, along with the oil change.

As for the snow we got yesterday and today, Env Can said it was coming, and it has. I have made the executive decision that I am NOT going to shovel the damn stuff this time, nor am I going to drag out the blower to deal with it, not when the forecast is calling for +3 tomorrow, +6 on Wednesday with a potential for snow and or rain, and +14 on Thursday with rain. Mother nature is going to take care of it for me so why kill my already hurting back, hips and shoulders (caused by this damn constantly changing, mother nature can't make up her mind what season it is, weather) when I don't have too.

But the sooner mother nature kicks old man winter out until they reconcile in 8 or 9 months, the better. I'm almost out of fish in the freezer now and starting to stir a little while not quite ready to "wake up," from my hibernation, and although I haven't yet looked at any of my gear, I have started watching a few Saturday morning fishin shows on TV.

@Trevor M I have a couple of fishing trips planned within the next week or so,and one of those fishing trip’s is in and around the Pt. Edward area,fishing for rainbow’s & coho salmon and the less that I travel on my snow tires on the 400 series highway’s,the better. That pavement can heat up quite fast anywhere above 0 degrees,and by me traveling anywhere from 100 to 120 kilometres/hour,it will wear my snow tires out faster. I am trying to make my snow tires last at least another couple of winter’s. If I was only driving in around town,no problem then, I would leave my snow tires on much longer,something like what you are doing. Good to know that you are starting to watch some fishing show’s,(something that I haven’t done for year’s), and I am looking forward to be out there fishing occasionally on the pier again with you,and perch ON!! my friend & hopefully soon!!
