I've developed a routine. Every time they announce another shut down, I go and have a good restaurant meal with a couple of beer, never know how long it will be .

Fearing the next round of restrictions we went to Costco yesterday and loaded up on beef, essentials. I dont miss restaurants but we do occasionally get meals to go, I know some of the owners and they appreciate it.
Some day things will be normal and we will have a new PM....oops wrong thread

I can’t wait until the rivers are ice free up here and I can get out for a day on the water.

I just hope when the ice leaves it doesn’t leave like last year.

Can't wait for my new camo fat tire e-bike to arrive - 96km range and 320lb payload. Looking forward to some increased range stealth hunting!

I hear yuh Vinny. I tried getting my trailer last April . Told customs officer he could damn near see my trailer from border and i would not be anywhere near another human and cross back in less then an hour.
But rules are rules and i got a very stern NO.
So there she sits , and your probably right.....next year.

Can find ammo and components for whatever I want and not have to pay with my kidney!

ALL people to be accountable and own up to their actions and not make some excuse or blame someone else for why they did what they did!!!!!

We just sold our cabin near Glen Lake last year. What a gong show trying to get the stuff we needed across the border. We called the border before hand and gave us the weekend (48 hours) to get our stuff. Get to the border and gave us 24 hours to pack up.

Yeah I have a feeling the trailer won’t be worth staying in by the time we get back. We were planning on building this year but would still need the trailer to stay in while we build. It’s a raw deal for sure.

Can't wait to see and hug my son, and enjoy dinners and cold beers with him. Last time I saw him was January 3, last year, when I took him to the airport and he flew to Toronto. Since then, him and his partner have both battled Covid and lived to talk about it, and we were unable to help them.

Been a tough stretch, and at least we had facetime, but it is not the same.

Seeing my physically distant family, hugging my nephew, the opening of a new fishing season.

Strippers in the champagne room.

That is the best reply I have seen, on this forum in a very long time.

If you are close to Lloydminster, let me know and I will buy you some 12 ga shells for practise.
