  1. The Haliburton Forest can be selective who they will allow in and are not obligated to provide a reason. They can just do it. Just like when a kid asks their parents why and the answer is because.
  2. call your insurance company... I got mine for our vehicles. A little under $100.
  3. Just got back from our daily trip to the park with the dog. Met up with our Coroner friend and his dog. He tells me that if he is specifying cause of death for someone with a heart condition that was stable but died of heart failure and had COVID he would state the cause of death as being the heart (one of the many tongue tying conditions) but exacerbated due to COVID.
  4. Exactly... if I don't get to use my trail permit this year. Oh well. That's the way it is. $190 is the cheapest part of the sport and I will buy a trail permit next year. Would everyone be grumbling like they are if it was simply a matter of no snow and predicting doom. If I have a very wet summer and don't get out in the boat I somehow don't think that I would get a refund on insurance and if I was at a marina a refund on dock fees. I won't get a refund on my season lock pass for the trent system either.
  5. If the person has COVID and dies it is very likely, almost certain that the virus is what caused their death. The person who has a heart condition but is able to live with that heart condition and has done so for many years catches the virus. That person dies because the virus pushes the persons health and ability to deal with that heart condition beyond what their body can handle. Did they die as a result of the virus? I say yes. If not for the virus they would still be alive. I had a conversation with my friend a couple of weeks ago around cause of death for a person. They had a fall about a month earlier and there were health implications in the recovery from that fall but the person was recovering nicely. The person contracted the virus that resulted in a turn around in the recovery and the person passed. What would you say was the cause of death. If not for the virus the person would have fully recovered from the fall.
  6. The bottom of Mount St. Louis Moonstone just before they closed sure didn't look like anyone was social distancing or following mask policies.
  7. Same here... If I get to the point where my existence is in a hospital bed and that's it... let me go peacefully.
  8. One of the people I see in the park with his dog when I take our dog out for his afternoon walk is a Coroner. He signs death certificates. I believe I will ask him when I see him this afternoon what his take is on the numbers. Something tells me that those numbers don't include everyone who has died in Ontario. They may have pre-existing conditions that are manageable and they are living with but COVID was what pushed them over the line.
  9. I am out of likes for today so... well said... just like Horvath who criticised everything from day one but hasn't offered up one single alternative solution
  10. I never gave my address or other information to Royal Distributing. I tend to be very careful who I give this information too. If they don't need it they don't get it. The only snowmobile related organizations that got my address is the OFSC for my permits.
  11. So you believe they could have built more hospital rooms, produced more doctors and nurses in massive numbers in 8 months. They ramped up and have increased the availability of ventilators and PPE to meet the demand very quickly with the cooperation from businesses but the rooms, doctors and nurses can't happen that quickly.
  12. So would you have voted for a widespread unchecked uncontrolled virus that kills a lot of people?
  13. And what would you have them do... build new hospital rooms. Graduate more doctors and nurses. All in less than a year. It's down to those who don't believe this is real and still party on as if it wasn't real. I watched security remove a crazy from the drug store 2 days ago while he insisted it was a violation of his rights to require a mask.
  14. Okay... This is a new one for me. The mail came today and there was a notice... Your subscription has expired - Renew today. www.osmmag.com with a promo code to save. 1 year $10 2 years $15 3 years $20 And here I thought this was part of your trail pass benefits? Am I wrong? What has changed?
  15. yeah... I have all kinds of dates I have to remember... I almost forgot our dogs birthday... that was a near miss
  16. I live in the west end of Toronto... I was driving to the east end to do a porch drop off. As I got off the 401 at Leslie there was an OPP spot check at the end of the off ramp. They checked my license and sent me back home. Said I needed to stay in my local neighbourhood. Now if you believe that I have some ocean front property for sale in Orangeville. I took the dog for a walk this morning as usual and for the first time in a long time I heard the woman yelling from her front door that I'm going to kill people and that I need to go home and stay inside. I haven't heard her rant in months.
  17. I must be a genius... I even remember my wife's birthday to renew the tag for her vehicle. I am also wise enough to remember our anniversary and nobody sends me reminders for either of those events.
  18. On Barrie news a person representing an association of Ontario ski resorts mentioned the ski resorts didn't have information coming from the province whether they would be able to open for business after the 23rd of January. They were trying to determine the value of investing in snow making. If they weren't going to be able to open there wouldn't be much point. He also suggested the resorts may be looking for a financial bailout. They have had bad snow years in the past and received government bailouts. Interestingly though they haven't paid anything back when they have had record years and profits. I recall one year where Blue Mountain was boasting that they were able to provide skiing and golfing on the same day due to an exceptional year weatherwise. Perhaps it's related to the Ski Patrol that comes to the rescue on the ski hill for your injuries.
  19. It was reasonable considering it's a nice dining room, far nicer than a pub type setting. That would have been about 5 years ago that we were there and for the two of us it was a little over $100 plus tax and tip. 1 glass of wine for my wife. If it was just me I would have leaned toward something like wings in a pub atmosphere but happy wife happy life. Going to Mc'D's is indeed getting costly. Everything is going up. Yesterday California Sandwich for my wife and I was $30 for the two sandwiches. I've found myself looking for the specials these days... Mc'D's had 2 Sausage'N'egg muffins for $5 for a while.

    Stopped by who? Told to go home by who? So far nobody has the authority to stop you from traveling. It is a recommendation. 400 north and south bound between Toronto Barrie and beyond has personal vehicle traffic.
  21. There's a lot that happens before the first groomer rolls out. There's a big chunk that goes into insurance. Then trail work in general. Clearing, brushing, installing culverts, seasonal draining, bridge maintenance, replacement, construction, filling in damage caused by ATV's and trucks, repairs and maintenance on groomers so they can get out when possible, signage. Just some of what goes on in the background before the trails see a groomer and it takes money.

    The OFSC should be complying with the direction of the province and the Chief Medical Officer.
  23. My wife and I have been to the Log Cabin Inn for dinner. It's a bit upscale and the prices reflect that. If I recall dinner for the 2 of us a few years ago ended up just over $100 then add tip. H&H has always been busy every time we have stopped there for lunch. They also have gas available and there is a side trail that runs off of the main trail to get to the resort. Large parking lot for trucks and trailers as well.
  24. It's also good for insomnia... in university if it was late at night and I was having trouble sleeping I would crack open my Economics text book and read about things like balance of trade... lights out soon after.
