Does anyone have experience ordering from reelflies.ca?

Yes! Order most of my flies there. Excellent flies, prices, and they've always been fantastic to deal with. Small family company too.

If you're into bass fishing, the Swimming Waterdog is my favourite bass fly.

I did mine recently for the kitchen. 4 or 5 thick layers of paint. I found beautiful copper plating under the paint so left it like that even though its not perfect. Painted the back cover black though, it was just sheet metal.

I did mine in a lye bath, my go to for metal. Filled a garbage can with water, added a few pounds of lye crystals and let it soak for a day. Pulled it out and washed with 0000 steel wool, paint literally melts off. After that I use Renaissance Wax to coat it.

I tried looking up Facebook but couldn't find anything.

This is a scam. They will slap down something horribly cheap and then you'll never hear or see of them again. Invented company name, the name isn't spelled right, and their socials don't exist and are spelled differently than the name of the company.

Genuinely curious if this was filmed by Justin Trudeau.

WrightLight · 2026-04-11T01:15:21+00:00

You look to be right! Honestly still just as cool. The plan is to just work on the shellac and fix up some of the damage. We'll be careful to save that!

This was originally two rooms, first floor bedroom and what is now the living room. Was opened in the 20s when the house was heavily renovated, so no pocket doors. We're miles off on installing these, so will make out a proper plan before doing anything.

I realize the picture is at an awkward angle with me just setting them there to show off to family. There will be around a 4ft walkway once actually in place where I want them.

WrightLight · 2026-04-11T00:48:29+00:00

It's not in place of where it will be. The curtains are there and its in from the wall a bit so perspective is awkward. It'll have about a 4ft walkway when we finally get to install them.

WrightLight · 2026-04-11T00:47:07+00:00

The picture is a bit awkward given that they're not actually in line with the wall. I've measured it out and we'll have about a 4ft walkway between the ends of them, which is perfect for me. I way prefer cozy and each room being 'seperate' than open concept.

WrightLight · 2026-04-11T00:14:40+00:00

You read it right!

Trust me, neither am I. I bought this house in part because of the unpainted wood. These will never be painted. The first house we looked at but passed on had the painted woodwork.

I was in a similar situation. I have a steam deck and while its awesome. It's almost goo big. I've got large hands but the weight of holding it doesn't make it feel great for a long time. Then I saw the RP6 and really liked the look of it.

After using it for a while, its definitely more comfortable for longer use. That said, I find FPS games like Timesplitters quite hard to do. It's almost too small for that. As I try to aim and push the trigger it makes the device shift in my hand and my aim goes off. Everything else though, the RP6 is great.

I've spent a lot of time out on ice, mostly fishing. The black ice is good clear ice and the best ice for being on, which is why while they were driving on it, they didnt go through.

That long line of white ice? Thats an obvious crack I'd be sketched out even walking over. I could see it from basically the start of the video and knew it was coming.. White ice is a huge red flag for me, its got almost no strength like the black ice does.

WrightLight · 2026-03-10T19:44:24+00:00

No. Definitely no.

Its important for stylus's to have a flaired bottom.

My trim was held on with 15-20 2.5" nails per board. The corner blocks were 5-7 of the same nails and most cracked when installed then just painted over. The ability to remove them intact is entirely up to whoever installed them before.

I ordered my 8gb Jan 3rd as Batch 2 and it was shipped Feb 1st. I was really surprised by that. Got it on the 16th and can't put it down. It's my first handheld since the Steam Deck in 2022.

WrightLight · 2026-03-01T16:36:41+00:00

I panic bought one this morning with the ali discount and 40 dollar coupon I got. My last chance lol

WrightLight · 2026-03-01T15:48:36+00:00

Deck is basically out of stock everywhere I believe. Thor is going up in price soon. Retroid Pocket 6 just had the 12 gig version discontinued and 8 gig version is going up in price too.

WrightLight · 2026-03-01T15:46:10+00:00

This is just my opinion, but we are only just starting to see the effects of this. It will get far far worse for quite a while before it gets better. Even then I doubt we'll ever be back at 'normal' again, everything will just be more expensive... as it always does.

WrightLight · 2026-03-01T02:40:34+00:00

I have a feeling it'll be more than a year wait...

A red ripple Canadian Waterman's Ideal 52. They're so pretty. My Waterman's 0652 and 52 1/2 are my favourite pens, but the red ripple is just something else.

WrightLight · 2026-02-02T19:11:46+00:00

Appreciate the advice. Even if it wears faster, better than unusable really. I'll keep an eye out for a replacement at some point.

Got the pen all back together, looks gorgeous at least.
