The earth is round. Prove me wrong.

Shit. That is good. I’m gonna try and work “oblate ellipsoid” into conversation today. I got a family BBQ for niece’s first birthday later. I’m sure I will have a chance then….

Also an accurate description of a good friends physique. He is a Chef and a damn good one.

Monday sucks, have you ever noticed that nobody ever wants to go riding on Monday'

This is incorrect. I always want to go riding on Mondays. Unfortunately my boss won’t add it to my calendar. Adulting is hard.

 

[Tinsnips]

17 riders turned out today and it was just a regular practice day, seems the cooler weather has peaked interest in riding again

How are the mosquitoes up there? Those and black flies are what do me in.

Can you witch for water? or do they teach you about that

I am not sure. I had always thought it was fake. My Uncle did it to locate a hydro cable at the farm and it worked. I tried it and it worked for me too inspite of my disbeleif. I still don;t know what happened there.

 

[Tinsnips]

Oh I'm not denying that.

I'm just saying that water witching is astrology for yokels

( in the most playful manner possible. Obviously )

I always had water witching on the same list as Ouiji boards, crystal balls, and mood rings. Perhaps it was bias but I did find the cable. Not crazy, just really confused now.

You forgot to list Tarot cards and Runes...here you go:

Water Dowsing | U.S. Geological Survey

"Water dowsing" refers in general to the practice of using a forked stick, rod, pendulum, or similar device to locate underground water, minerals, or other hidden or lost substances, and has been a subject of discussion and controversy for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.

Believe in something enough and you will convinced that it's real.

The Magic 8 Ball is real though...

Great video. How did the electric bike do compared to the gas bikes? He would have a ton of torque. Did it end up being an advantage? The last guy in green and black was awesome.

Man it is pounding the Atlantic provinces. It is a mess out there. They are saying they may have recorded the lowest air pressure in Canadian history - the storm is that strong.

Since the season of gift-giving is upon us, I think that it's appropriate to recall the words of a very wise man who once said:

" Don't value the gift by the value of the gift - it's the thought that counts - and if the recipient doesn't appreciate that, then fuck them."

...oh, wait, that was me who said that...

Merry Xmas all.

Sounds right. I don't even care if someone gets me a gift just don't be a dick all the other days of the year & we are good.

Have you ever tried one of the track conversions?

I have also heard garlic will attract fish.

Nice! Those are a great size. I would guess lamprey eels made those wounds.

 

[Tinsnips]

The sea lamprey is all through the great lakes and wounds like that are common on salmon and trout. If your body of water isn't directly connected to Lake Ontario by a decent size river it was likely a Northern Brook Lamprey. The wound would be about the size of a Looney. A hit from a pike is usually scars top and bottom from teeth. Yeah, if that was the case it would suck. You will figure it out when you catch one attached to a fish.

I have been wanting to build one. Maybe not drone style but closer to an ROV. Just for exactly that reason - There are some huge pike and lake trout where I fish in Quebec.

British english is traditionally taught in Canadian schools or at least was. Today they may just be trying to get them to form sentences.

Spelling is obsolete, we no longer use words. Acronyms are sentences now. LOL. OMG. NVM. FML.
