PS.......any word from Paul G.........Snowball has been acting funny lately.......he's not eating....he's been hunching a bit...head down....like he is guilty about something.....won't play with me in the pool.....and his breath......smells alot like chicken and ribs.................the other thing......is.... I found a blue 92 FJ behind the barn...and one of my blue swim trunks on the ground by the bike...and it looks a bit shredded........hmmm.......probably nothing......... :scratch_one-s_head:

Hey!

I am in again if I can swing it!  To be able to make the first one was fairly simple!! - held my breath, turned purple, fell down the stairs. ..... Worked fine. :) lol !! Gonna try that again!!

Be sure to let us know if there is anything we can do to help, eh! I nominate you to cook again, Candman. ..... No pressure of course. :)

Ok I missed the first one,(previous commitment) but will definitely make the next one. Count me in... :good:
Saturday... Southern Georgian Bay Report:
Weather....NW wind 10kts +/- all morning, air temp...hot as hell all day, water temp 70 degree plus, bottom temp 50 degrees down 80' over 80'-120' for the most part. 2 Salmon on the SWR rig on a NK mag. One break off and the other one landed. Fished till noonish on the outside of island, then headed for the lea side for a swim and lunch break. Fished the inside till 4:00ish without moving  a rod. Called it a day. Crew had fun. Good stories, good laughs.




Not FJ related, but what the hell...is a close second in my books... :yahoo:

I've got the date Aug. 11 engraved in my noggin. I have SENA SMH10 headsets. One's always on my Shoei. I could bring along another set if it would help the group for riding lead and sweep or just if someone has been thinking of getting a unit and wants to try it out for tunes, GPS prompts and phone from your smartphone via Bluetooth.

What route/distance did you end up taking for the first ride and where did you assemble? Trying to get an idea of the range if I have some ideas and depending on where people come from. I live in Bobcaygeon which is a long way to anywhere else. No straight lines here :)

ok....just putting this out there.........but I am thinking......everybody meet at Timmies in Port Perry at 9 bells.......then head up to the Kawarthas.....and stop for lunch in Bob Caygeon......then shoot straight west towards Beaverton...where there's tons of Beaver :shout: :blum1: :nyam1:...maybe stop for a quickie... :good:....and come down the Simcoe coastline....to my place......it's probably 5 hrs for some(round trip).......but if you don't want to do the whole leg....just hook up with the group in Bob Caygeon............for lunch....now for those who think its a big ride.....just keep in mind....mr Paul wagar.....travelled 260kms just to meet the group to join the ride on Saturday.....that alone deserves the FJ man of the year award.......now mind you....he did get his moneys worth at the BBQ.........IN FACT THE ONLY THING MISSING IN HIS MOUTH WAS AN APPLE........and some pineapple slices.................................................................. ..............


sooooooooooweeeeeeeeeee........... :rofl2: :rofl: :wacko2: :lol: :wacko3: :empathy2: :sarcastic: :mocking:.......you da man !!!!! Anyways....do pipe up with this idea....and please don't feel afraid to speak .....truth is I have never been out that way before so I may be smokin a fat one this ride....... :crazy:
