Had another massive rain storm last night, they are moving across Northern Ontario like bad magical carpets. Probably another couple of inches last night. Around 3 years ago, one of my firefighter buddies told me he never thought the water table would return to normal, it was so low from years...

Had over a 100 mm (roughly 4 inches) of rain again yesterday. More falling now, nig thunder storms. It's a weird Sumner, seem to be breaking records.

Very nice report! I have to get to the canoe museum, maybe this summer. Interesting sign for the museum, the first title in Anishinaabemowin, Jimaan Kinomaagewin, roughly translates as canoe teacher, or canoe teachings. Did any of the solo canoes you tried out want to come home with you?

Pretty hard to shoot if the gun is lashed in lol. One would have to work very hard to tip a Tremblay, they were designed to be able to dance in.

Wish I could be there with my Tremblay. Only thing I changed on it was to make a carrying yoke, plus i took out the thwart behind the bow seat so I could solo it. It's a very nice canoe, floats along like a cork.

Which ones are you looking for?

The border will be fine. My concern would be the cyber truck. There are very few charging stations, and the ones that are around often don't work.

Lol, this image conjured up thoughts of Alan manically scouring the internet for the last few weeks looking for a goat in a canoe. You can't just post this pic without an explanation....did the guy read this thread and think it was a good idea? He kind of looks like a meatier version of Les...

Could be any one of several generic fiberglass canoes that were mass produced. However, at some point in its life, somebody did a reasonably good job putting wooden trim on it. The condition of the wood doesn't look too bad, sand it well and apply either oil or varnish and it will come back to...

Great story! I'm not even going to be bitter about the kayaks. lol. I noticed something very peculiar this spring. I live beside a bridge over the Kenogamisis Lake. Every spring when the walleye come back from their spawning grounds, the bridge is a hotbed of activity. For the past 30 years...

Ppine, I believe the nature of forestry practices up here is much different than what you are used to. Clearcutting is the standard, it is justified by whatever patchwork quasi-environmental theory the MNR throws out there to keep concerned citizens off base. I certainly don't disagree with...

Holy, smoke has been so thick in G Town for the last week, can't even see across the lake. Every summer has these periods up here, we are a tinder box at the moment. Walked a 2 kilometre port yesterday, usually has a huge loon sh1t sucking hole in the middle that swallows shoes, and it was dry...

You got my interested, as I have never deleted any off mine. Perhaps you have already tried this, but this is what I found on the garmin site, but have not tried it myself yet. https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=VBETx9sPHo60RXB6CwEQK9

I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking at in the photo, but from your description, it sounds like you had some larger air bubbles form. If so, the solution is pretty much what you speculated. Cut the bubbles out and epoxy a patch in, it will be fine. I sometimes just sand the bubble out as...

There was a Hudson's Bay store in Nakina up until a few years ago. When I came to the area 35ish years ago, it still sold freighter canoes and regular bush stuff and groceries. Since its closing, Nakina is now without any kind of grocery store, although it does have a fully stocked liquor...
