  1. you're thinking too deep on it!!!!!! "HE is the reason for the season!" This is the only reference to Jesus... relax and pat your self on the back ,unless that is too violent !!! you know what goes here - yep it's a gay poky thing, looks just like this Merry Christmas to All,
  2. A solider, Christmas, and Jesus Most of you might have seen this before, but it always puts a lump in my throat, Ann and I would always bring home any of the single guys from my unit that could not get home or did not have any one to go home to, always gave them their own stocking. I am truly going to miss that, this and every year. Damn screen is getting blurry, Please read and have a MERRY CHRISTMAS, and HAVE A HAPPY HEALTHY NEW YEAR HE is the reason for the season! The Night Before Christmas T'was the night before Christmas, He lived all alone, In a one bedroom house, Made of plaster and stone. I had come down the chimney, With presents to give, And to see just who, In this home did live. I looked all about, A strange sight I did see, No tinsel, no presents, Not even a tree. No stocking by the mantle, Just boots filled with sand, On the wall hung pictures, Of far distant lands. With medals and badges, Awards of all kinds, A sober thought, Came through my mind. For this house was different, It was dark and dreary, I found the home of a soldier, Once I could see clearly. The soldier lay sleeping, Silent, alone, Curled up on the floor, In this one bedroom home. The face was so gentle, The room in such disorder, Not how I pictured, A Canadian soldier. Was this the hero, Of whom I'd just read?, Curled up on a poncho, The floor for a bed? I realized the families, That I saw this night, Owed their lives to these soldiers, Who were willing to fight. Soon round the world, The children would play, And grownups would celebrate, A bright Christmas Day. They all enjoyed freedom, Each month of the year, Because of the soldiers, Like the one lying here. I couldn't help wonder, How many lay alone, On a cold Christmas Eve, In a land far from home. The very thought brought A tear to my eye, I dropped to my knees, And started to cry. The soldier awakened, And I heard a rough voice, 'Santa, don't cry. This life is my choice. I fight for freedom, I don't ask for more, My life is my God, My country, my corps.' The soldier rolled over, And drifted to sleep, I couldn't control it, I continued to weep. I kept watch for hours, So silent and still, And we both shivered, From the cold night's chill. I didn't want to leave, On that cold, dark night, This guardian of honor, So willing to fight. Then the soldier rolled over, With a voice, soft and pure, Whispered, 'Carry on Santa, It's Christmas Day, all is secure.' One look at my watch, And I knew he was right, 'Merry Christmas my friend, And to all a good night.' This poem was written by a peace keeping soldier stationed overseas.
  3. WOW that is really sad, I wonder how many that use them will change or stop to preserve the fish they so love to catch or will they keep on using it because it works? Another reason to go over to the light side, Fly fishing..
  4. Bet you would freak with the first rock chip, when I pass you on the dirt road to "NoNameCreek"
  5. But But But they are native to North America !!!!!!!! hahaha I agree,never said I did not, just do not agree with the extermination of the ones already here for the last 80 - 100 years.... I know that is not what this thread is about, but it is something that some biologists, non-biologist types would like to see.. Even if it would be for their own entertainment so to speak!!!
  6. That is a rainbow bright FOOTBALL!!!! nice !
  7. Post the PM if it is bad, let the world at least the FFC world see what he is like when he thinks nobody is watching..
  8. Again I was going to stay out of this one but here it goes.. Best steaks in order 1. moose 2.Elk 3.Whitetail. 4. Superstore Marinading steak, the one with all the fat in the meat(marbling), two bones= flavour, rind of fat along the outside, more flavour, and around 4-5 bucks a lb.. Bar-B-que hot, Montreal Steak spice, , tinfoil onions and mushrooms with lots of butter and garlic, turn the steak over once each side. if you want the hash marks like the fancy dancy places do, then lift steak and move half turn to the right and then do the same on other side. Baked potatoes in the microwave, be sure to put a hole in them or they blow up (seriously ), or more tinfoil and do them on the BBQ but I like all the room for the steak, and fire too hot.. Damn thing is when I turn 50, I will have to reduce my red meat intake. :$*%&:
  9. Does not matter PGK will claim his is bigger, have the edumacation and studies to prove it!! Also the other guys is invasive and should be removed from the province.. I was going to stay out of this but neaaa .. I can remember standing on the running boards of old duce 1/2's and MLVW's and taking a piss because we were on a night move, and in a convoy and you could not stop, the wind was in your favour but if the driver was an ***hole he would hit the brakes and your boots would get wet.. :$*%&: but you just paid him back by pissing in his sleeping bag!!!!
  10. Damn good point, and well put, have feelings for the resources and you have a resource to have feelings for!!!
  11. Hay, what is your address, I want to send you a Christmas parcel, I mean ticking card, I mean singing card.. hahahahhaa J/K Too much family in the O&G business, Funny thing, the two places I have lived here in Alberta, my father, has lived in in the sixties, after he left me and my Mom.. So My family has been in Alberta and have been in Cowboy/Rodeo/O&G world for 40+ years..
  12. ahahah Just a return to my roots so to speak. Remember in the early 80's we had a bit of recession, going on and I knew it was change Tractor Trailer tires in the family business for the rest of my life or get out of dodge (Saint John) , so I join the only crew that was hiring.. and have not worked a day since...hahahahaha J/K Was a long haired skinny kid then and now I am a semi long haired somewhat skinny old *hit, that can blow *hit up and shoot damn straight, literally and figuratively.. Sitting here having a hot toddy and a laugh.. Take care Peter.. Have a happy snow day!!!!
  13. WAIT A FIRGGIN WOODSTOCK MINUTE !!!!!! I am a hippie and I do not want your fish..I want my fish... and this is my province and the fish in it are mine!!!! The good the bad and the ugly ones...Which is why I oppose the killing any one of them, controlling yes, out right killing off no that will not work, any way.. I also don't want your silly cake, but and there is always a but, if it has boiled frosting, the cake is mine too, and I can fish and eat cake at the same time!!!! I once caught 7 cutthrout in a stream that was only suppose to have rainbows and Brookies, I caught all seven out from under one little tree stump. I had to hike to find two little brookies, and they were very hard to fool.. so WTH ..
  14. This is the reason I would never ever call a sports celebrity, of sports figure a "hero" never ever, they are just people who happen to have a talent, that is it. Not my definition of hero, or somebody to worship or to be envious of .. just saying that is all.. Might be a bit heavy but just the way I see it... This guys are heroes to me.. http://www.calgarysun.com/news/memorial/20...2/10223286.html
  15. NO The soles are clipped in and tucked under the edges of the boot.. check out the web site and you will see how they do it.. I did a lot of walking yesterday, and did not have a prob and have done a hell of a lot of walking in the Korkers and not had a prob..
  16. couple of pics from today.. had not a problem getting my wading boots off.. got to love the Boa sys.. gratuitous Fischer pic..
  17. And to think I had nothing to do with that!!!!!
  18. Which is healthier ? Starbucks Blueberry Oat Bar with Organic Blueberries. VS. Tim Hortons Blueberry fritter doughnut. Organic berries may make Starbucks' oat bar sound healthier, but at 390 calories and 15g fat, (including 5g saturated fat), the blueberry fritter may be a better choice, with 330 calories and 10g of fat (including 4.5g saturated fat).
  19. That's just RUDE !!!!!!!!!!! I have not made up my mind on this, When I hit 100,000 years old, I will tell you what mother nature decided to do.. with or with out our help... But and there is always a but - I do try and keep my CFP as small as possible, while living as well as possible...Smaller car, recycle, sweaters, compost, only the best Cuban cigars, and cheapest beer, and single malt whiskey...
  20. you're right People Eating Tasty Animals should not get bashed they should get an extra portion of gravy and cake!!! An organization that preaches what they preach and then gets caught killing 2500+ cats and dogs gets no respect from me.....same as the GTA SPCA.. Do not pet the sea kittens they scratch and bite!!!!! beyond that You have your rights to vote any way you want. Seriously and respectfully I do like to understand as to why, so why no, is it because of the aspect of a safe haven for the fish that being the park, or some other reason?
  21. Agreed, selective restoration, would be beneficial to native species.. Just read in a mag that the USF&W plan to poison wild trout in Silver King creek and reintroduce native pure-strain Paiute cutthroat Trout..their native range is only 10 stream miles.. and the USF&W want to poison the whole river ??? Not sure this thinking is happening here in AB, I hope not..
  22. Taco Does that include the rest of the province or is that only in the parks? and where do we draw the time line? 100 years ago most of those lakes in the park were barren of fish or with very small populations of natives.. Doe we wait until we have utopia, or do we nudge it here and there.. Do we tweak the streams to keep the native and introduced populations as separate as possible.. Taco This is the type of exchange I wanted from all this, not just introduced Non-native species are bad and we got to kill them.. because if that were so you would be out of a job unless you can look at bison toes.. Where is the original poster in this now? what are his views on what has been brought up..
