Good thing you have brakes.

Good thing you have brakes.

We were talking about taking the bikes over there for a day or two this summer just for the hell of it.

 

[Hillbilly Canuck]

Lots of ice washed up in my backyard the last few days that didn't go back out with the tide. I hear there are a lot of actual bergs on the go already but we've been down with a bad flu the last couple days. We're getting a little better now so you knows we won't be chasing them again.

You have the most beautiful pre Exxon Valdez back yard I've ever seen.

No crude ships coming in here. Sometimes low tide is so shallow you can walk halfway across the bay. Might get a canoe in from the point if I time it right.

Was doing some serious trucking last week or week beforebut the ice shut down the haul road

I've got a small spot with no trees on the side of the driveway about 50 feet from the road where the wheelie bin for garbage sits and we take it to the road the night before garbage day. In our flu induced stupor we forgot to put it on the road but when I finally did go put the next bag in it was still in the usual spot but empty. That was pretty white of Mike.

Yes @Rigjockey I knows my garbage man by name and have had several conversations with him

Just the fact that you put an S on the end know tells me you are fitting ins just fines b'y.

I think it's ironic that I get YouTube ads for Sobeys lobsters when the closest Sobeys is about two hours away and we have a fish plant 15 minutes up the road.

They will sell you anything that comes out of the ocean straight off the boat cutting out all the middle men.. You won't get any fresher than that.

Can you get Halibut out there?
It's pretty pricey here.

Probably. I haven't really looked for it though. I much prefer cod or salmon. We catch a fair amount of trout ourselves and of course you have the capelin roll every summer.

 

[Hillbilly Canuck]

Well here we go again. Good thing we got 3 or 4 days of monsoon coming.

 

[Hillbilly Canuck]

Well it's definitely July again.

 

[Hillbilly Canuck]

 

[Rigjockey]

Smelt?

 

[Shreck]

Smelt?

That’s what I was wondering or maybe sardines?

 

[Hillbilly Canuck]

Smelt?

Capelin.

We ran into a couple old women said they were from Ontario renting a cabin not far from where we got them. They had never seen them before and that was the first question they asked. They're similar though.

They roll in on beaches with the tides to spawn June and July. Get yourself a bucket and a net and go get your fill. They're a good little snack. Clean a couple dozen and fry them in flour.

But those women acted amazed when I pointed out a storm on the horizon coming into shore that you could see plain as the nose on your face. My wife told them they had about three minutes tops to get in out of it before the sky fell which was about right once we got in the truck. She says boy they must have thought we were some kind of newfie gypsies.

Smelt?

Sure did!
