  1. This is an under-rated track.
  2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gadAdD4yVQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gadAdD4yVQ Over 40 years working at the club and seeing him in other bars I got to know Big Dave a bit. There are a few stories there. Big Dave Mclean and Colin Munn (Colin James) were at the Winnipeg Folk Festival, and Muddy Waters was there, and he had an afternoon workshop. Dave said "Go ask if you can play with him" and Colin said "No way, that's Muddy Waters!" and Big Dave said "If you don't, you'll be kicking your ass for the rest of your life." I can't remember if it was Colin or Dave that told me that, but it doesn't matter.
  3. Welcome to the forum!
  4. Not a problem. I can help that painful lobster tail or crab claw by dipping it in soothing warm butter, with a hint of garlic. [I'm also the guy claiming the best meat comes from the animals with the biggest, brownest eyes]
  5. I caught it around 3rd week in July, tested positive for about 6 days and spent another 4 at home until I felt right, just thankful I didn't lose my sense of taste and smell, because I dearly love to eat and drink. I notice my memory isn't quite as sharp since then, and I may have to wait an hour or day to remember a name or fact that should come easily. Yesterday I drove to the pharmacy and got a flu shot in the left shoulder, and my 6th covid booster in the right, in and out in 20 minutes, very efficient.
  6. It's half-time in the Grey Cup final in Canada, Montreal Alouettes v Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
  7. Welcome to the forum. I've used half a foam earplug quite a few times, and keep a couple in a little jar of glug.
  8. Most vans here (and most other vehicles) are now automatics, but I've had lots of standard shift cars and trucks over my lifetime. For carping I had 2 Ford Windstars in a row, a 2000 and a 2002 and they were the perfect size for me because I take a lot of stuff. My first consideration was will my holdall fit? Probably a bit large by UK van standards and a 3.8L V-6 (my 2006 Liberty has a 3.7). A lot of people here who don't need them have big 1/2 ton 4x4 trucks with V-8 engines, but some people really use them.
  9. I looked at a Sedona last summer but didn't buy because it felt cramped and I thought it might be uncomfortable on a long trip. The Jeep Liberty I eventually got isn't built for fat men either, but it was such a good deal and is so much fun I don't care.
  10. I think duckduckgo is actually a better search engine, and have been making it my homepage for years. I use Google Maps, but otherwise avoid the filthy company as much as possible. Only sign into YouTube when absolutely necessary, and I use Chrome even less often. Likewise Google's twin Satan Microsoft - I'm a Linux man.
  11. @commonly my condolences on the loss of your dad. Mine also introduced me to fishing and that's something I'll always be grateful for. Re: the social - Just renewed my passport so if I win the lottery I'll be in there like a dirty shirt.
  12. Welcome to the forum.
  13. I had a Silstar fly rod, and it was a budget rod without much character. I think I have a Silstar 3lb carp rod too, but it's a bit of a barge pole and I had to glue the butt ring back in first time out - but it was cheap. You can probably find something usable for the time being from local used tackle until you get dedicated carp stuff. Lots of baitfeeder reels are used in sea fishing and used ones must pop up from time to time, and depending on how far you need to cast, a long rod might not be needed. I used garage sale stuff for years before getting real carp gear. Good luck in your search!
