On Friday, Aug 10 at 2:30 am, 3 buddies and I met up, packed the vehicle and headed to Canada for the 25th (or so) time in the last 30 years.  We drove to Armstrong Station, Ontario - about 800 miles north of here.  We stayed in a little place on Friday night, partied it up, and flew up to a remote camp on Saturday morning - 65 miles north of Armstrong. 

As always, fishing was tremendous.  Spending time with guys who you have made some really tough trips over 30 years was outstanding.  Having no schedule, doing what we wanted, or doing nothing - what more could a guy want?

so - at midnight last night, the vehicle rolled back into my driveway.  the annual trip was over.  I came back windburned, relaxed, and ready for life once again.  Of course, I have a ton of ideas to write about.  but for today, am still enjoying the feeling you have when you get back from a vacation where everything went according to plan.  of course, how hard is it to mess up drinking beer at 8 am?

so - starting tomorrow I can post some new pics, rant on some new topics, and basically start tying myself back into the knots that I went to Canada to get rid of.  or, as the imbecile Biden would say "I will put chall back in chains".  what a douchebag.

and, yes - I will be eating peas.  many peas.

Will winter never end?  This weather sucks - can't do anything outside.  and, looking at the pics I post, you know I love to be outside. so, Gov. Fudd   Quinn has come up with yet another bit of geniusness....giving a tax break to families with kids.  http://www.myfoxchicago.com/dpp/news/metro/pat-quinn-taxes-state-illinois-speech-families-20120128 at a time with a bottomless pit of a budget deficit, and handing out tax breaks to every corporation threatening to leave Illinois, we are cutting more taxes to a special group...now, just who do you suppose will be asked to make up the difference?  and, of course, when the TEMPORARY income tax increase expires, what then. How ya coming on fixing the pension mess, Einstein??? Gov. Quinn:  please tell us your IQ.  If the question confuses you , please make a confused face and answer with your fingers. Does anyone miss the obligatory outdoors pic?

finally Friday. due to the overwhelming success of my Ghost Moose story (in my own mind), here is a parable entitled: THE WOLVES In a nice town where wolves were not indigenous, a wolf showed up...then another wolf....then many wolves.  The townspeople asked the government to help them get rid of the wolves...the government said "no - we will set out food for the wolves, and make them places to live".  the townspeople said "but we don't want wolves around here.  they take up space that we townspeople built, and we cannot go there because it is unsafe due to the wolves.  the wolves have gotten into our schools, and our kids cannot learn at the right pace because the teachers are too busy dealing with problems caused by the wolves.  we do not want wolves around, so please stop feeding them and making places for them to live."  The government said no - wolves are ok, and we even want them to vote in your elections.  Get used to the wolves, they ain't goin

Not much left in 2011...and each day we are a bit closer to spring... The toilet that is Illinois will be enacting over 200 new laws at the start of 2012. http://www.myfoxchicago.com/dpp/news/metro/new-year-comes-with-more-than-200-new-illinois-laws-2012-20111228 In these laws, I cannot find: - a law limiting pension abuse, and illegal enrichment - a law limiting the public's exposure to pension debt - a law prohibiting insider deals from  politicians - a law prohibiting municipalities from selling assets that have been paid for by citizens - a law prohibiting illigal aliens from parasitically consuming resources paid for by legal residents the list could go on forever.  these 200 new laws are largely to keep the middle class in line so the rich can continue to be richer. and if you throw out your compter, prepare to be fined. Illinois - what a shithole.
