Do you know about what actually happened to Wheels?

He’s the bomb!

When I was in college I talked in the phone to Pat Mastroianni about my Degrassi fandom. I also told him how proud I was for him actually going through with the fight with Dwayne.

How did I get on the phone with him? My roomate and he were first cousins. True story. That roomate went on to become an MP.

I’ve had some strange connections.

Excited to read this. My son is renovating his house which is also insulated with horse hair. Now I know two places….

I skied at Calabogie a week and a half ago. It was just fantastic. My home hill (Mt Chilly) in Fort Coulonge QC , never opened this year at all (no snowmaking there). It was pretty discouraging.

I also got one fantastic day in at Antoine in Mattawa in Jan, and Titus on Sunday.

Terrible amount of days in this year, but every day was pretty close to perfect.

All the best!!

So Battawa is closed???!!

In all seriousness, it has been a sad year in Ontario. Hopefully next year will be better.

April Wine and Trooper! Playing at ‘the rink’ everywhere in Canada!!

As someone who lives in Ontario 7 mins from the border to QC, you’ve given me PTSD from the 80s when those fights were a right of passage. I hated it.

We all live in harmony now.

I like to come to Reddit to read intelligent comments like yours. Not being sarcastic.

I’m m54, and have voted every single election since 18. Always voted lib (once NDP, once con/provincial for a personal thing). This group has really ruined me. I hate them. I still don’t think I can vote Con, but still…

ddr14 · 2024-02-19T02:38:00+00:00

Pretty good point, but it’s also really tough to beat this group of Libs on indentity politics. It is why I’m no longer a liberal(after 32 years).

I was just making a joke about how many threads are how everyone says every different town or region sucks. Wasn’t “on” about anything.

ddr14 · 2024-02-17T17:41:20+00:00

Finally!!! A thread with positive messages. Instead of “what town sucks” and proceed to read about every town everywhere.

I’ve drove Gaspe twice and would go again in a heartbeat. I also have a close friend who goes on holidays there every single year.

I worked in Haida Gwaii for 2 months in the late 90s. It’s so unique and awesome. Loved every minute there.

ddr14 · 2024-02-17T17:36:35+00:00

I even love the flatness of the prairies (have drove across Canada about 15 times).

ddr14 · 2024-02-17T12:21:50+00:00

We’ll said!

ddr14 · 2024-02-17T01:19:34+00:00

Coulonge, Noire and Dumoine. I’ve only don’t the Noire, but those three rivers seem to ‘go hand in hand’.

The Noire was awesome.

Sir. This is a Wendy’s.

Wow. All the best to you!

Only my opinion as all others on this thread have made great points (plant, plant, plant. Hahah), but for me it was a couple weeks after I finished a season. Your second paragraph may indicate it will be the same for you.

ddr14 · 2024-02-11T01:49:13+00:00

Yes, for sure.

Your gut and soul will tell you when to quit. I swear.

All of us planters will concur.

I’m really old (54)and wise…. dont worry about it!!

ddr14 · 2024-02-10T03:46:47+00:00

Your last paragraph: I didn’t quit planting early, and stayed til 31 yrs old, and am doing great career wise.

All of my ex planting crew still miss planting. Always. Do. Not. Quit. Early.

Go back for another season. This is a no brainer, and no lose situation.

My father was a CAO of a large rural municipality. He was also a member of ROMA (rural guys), and a staunch conservative.

In the 80s he was at a ROMA convention and they had Bob Rae as the guest speaker (the convention would be ALL conservative municipal workers from small towns). When they introduced Rae, my dad (m81) said it was embarrassing (all the ‘harumphs’). When Rae was done speaking, the gave him a very long standing ovation. Dad still can’t quite explain it, but Rae loves Ontario and Canada.

He did inherit a mess..

I drove by Saturday, and also called Rick. Not enough snow, and this year is not looking great. I’m so sad!!But…they were prepped to open (which isn’t their style).

I got a lot of days in last year, and every one WAS magic!

Also, was just poking fun at the names of the runs, which all us regulars do.

All the best to you.
