yeah it's a bummer. It's starting to dawn on my wive that a cottage her dad and granddad built in 1919 might be gone. It was built with hand powered tools which I now own and it's sad looking at the axes and draw knives I have hanging in the living room. If it's still there I'd be happy contrary to what I said and I know it's dawning on her too. If it survived after seeing video's of houses hitting the bridge only a couple miles away I'd be amazed and take a bow to my late father in law cause if it's there it's a hell of a structure. We cant get there from here so theres no sense worrying bout it, I just parked the racecar out front here at our house and me and the kids are playing with it and I know were the lucky ones.

Both of your names came up in that conversation along with your families, my 85 year old uncle in Pa, and my cousins and their families. I was hoping and praying you all stayed safe and as Backitin mentioned that no more lives would be lost due to the flooding.
Pete, sorry to hear so many of your and Coleman's friends and sponsors have been affected by this devastion. The pictures I have seen on TV are just horrible.
Prayers are going out to all those whose lives have been affected by yet another act of Mother Nature this year.
Coleman pull off another win this weekend in honor of all your friends and sponsors that are suffering rigth now! I'll be cheering you on!

Shores of lake ontario huh ? we have a little cabin 12 miles from the lake just off the Salmon River. Best flyfishin hole in the world and I used to be a flyfishing guide. Any of my friends on here want to catch monster salmon and steelhead on a flyrod hop in your car in a few weeks and take a drive. I used to have poeple come from all over the world to fish with me. I got plenty of gear and dont charge no more. I just take out folks I like. Not to sound stupid or arrougant but most people dont deserve to see and experience what I do on the river. It started pissing me off that I'd take out some yeahole that has no respect for nature and have him catching literally monster steelhead. But me being me I couldnt do it anymore for all the money in the world, so now I take out who I want and it blows there minds. The cabinis tiny, no water or electric and I stay from bout next week till thanksgiving killin the fish, we'll not killing them it's all catch, kiss and release fishing. I live like a bum me and my dogs and it's the finist time of the year.
