OV, is that coast guard boat? Training to wreck and drown? I never hear about that, everything happens.
Is that the same coast line Jedi as that rainbow pic? If get chance, what does it look like when red sky and calm waters.
I have been up the coast there a couple of times and it’s all great scenery.

Yep! These boats are self righting they actually roll them over for training. Same area as most of my pics.
Creek I prospect on.

River 1/8 mile from me. We have 5 rivers within 50 miles, 3 famous!

Our coastline.

On the menu tonight stuffed eggplant.

Oh eggplant is pretty good but it rents space in the noggin a bit.

When I got out of the dry up centre in Calgary 1985 I flipped the quarter, and Toronto won.
I took the $99 special and the 3+ day Greyhound and landed in the big smoke.
Found a rooming house and the tenant that lived in the big sunporch was from Trinidad.
All Len cooked was every Friday this huge oval enamel pot that took up two burners on the stove.
Cod fish and egg plant, stunk the place up till the following Thursday.
The printing press operator commented to me once, you really must love fish-nope don't touch the stuff.

Jim,

For some crazy reason or other a lot of Carribean people love salt cod....don't quite understand it since they have lots of local fish available.

 

[bill from lachine]

Some tunes for you.

Salt cod has quite a history.

Preserved it could last for several years. Vital in survival stocks in an uncertain world when traveling and or colonizing , or just plain dodging the swings of wars and nature....
It rehydrates pretty well compared to other species as well.

Cartier mentioned a thousand Basque fishing boats after cod when he "discovered" the mouth of the St. Laurence and claimed it for France.
.. Cod were not to be ignored ..

South America saw/sees a catfish salted and dried and consumed around Lent. Why that choice , I don't know.

Norway had five grades of cod...
When cod stocks became depleted in a region , substitute species filled in.
Not uncommon today when zander for example is sold as perch.
And perch can be derived from varied other species as well.
What one country calls a perch , may be a very different fish elsewhere. Let alone the cup and ball shuffle within a given country. L.o.l..

That's for sure, and he was a big guy, high blood medication.
Len the salted cod might be a tad much 7 days a week.
Gee I can still remember that smell.

I managed a rooming house once, landlady would put a pot of potatoes on the stove, then fall asleep.
Another ranky odor that one never really forgets.
One day I went to do a check on her and the aluminum pot was melted right through the burner ring.
With potatoes in the pot.

OV,

Quite the steal on that used machine wtg!

Thank you! At the Local Goodwill I have found guitar multi effects pedals, slot car race set, vintage skateboard trucks/wheels rare mugs including official Metallica beer steins...
Now, a 9.5 spider coil is available for this white's prism IV.... But is it worth it? I have yet to test this unit on gold nuggets or the beach. It is still considered an entry level detector?

Heroes.

 

[Oregon Viking]

Wait... what the?? John Lennon backed up by Cheap Trick?
Yep!!

 

[bill from lachine]

I liked pretty much anything John Lennon did but in this case I'll pass.

This is definitely the best version and original.

 

[releventchair]

Went to a Cheap Trick Budokon tour or something concert in 79. No , not 78 in Tokyo (or Osaka where the actual recording succeeded , vs Budokan's failure..)
Boy howdy them fellas was loud!
L.o.l..
"At Budokan" had been out about a year.
