It wouldn’t be a complete trip to Niagara without visiting the Bass Pro Shop while there. Picked up a few new lures, a new hat, along with some other things that caught our eye.

Yep, I remember calling home a few times, but in my case it was … Hey Dad! Then Click!
I kind of think this system is still being used today.
Actually, I have this once a week with a touch of brown sugar on it.
Just because I can.
I have to admit, the girls I knew years ago sure knew how to dress.

That statement is about right, too.

Yep, as a matter of fact, I worked part-time years ago at an old Sunoco Gas Station, and remember putting them air lines out every morning. I kind of miss them days.

Oh, and that is 49.8 cents a gallon, not a liter.
How many of you can remember these songs?

INCREDIBLE VOICE. ENJOY!!!
This is from the era before music went from listenable to NOISE!
When singers had class and didn’t have to do a pole dance or grab their …. to sell “music”.
It’s the 71-year-Old former member of The Platters—who still has a fabulous voice!
This is for all of you who remember this.
And for the ones who have no idea who he is, just listen and hear what you missed.
Yes, I can remember those cars, as my first one had the shifter on the column. Even had a dimmer switch on the floor board for the lights, high and low beam. Hell, I even had one old truck with a starter button on the floor. Worked pretty slick, too. Ha ha.

I also remember these days. It sounds/looks like the properties were cheap, but you have to remember that a $1000.00 was a lot of money back then, and a lot of folks didn’t have it. Kind of like today but different.

Yep, I am sure getting up there in years as I can remember quite vividly Laura the lady that raised me, cooking over an old wood cook stove. And I have to admit, the food sure tasted good back then, that she cooked, and I never went to bed hungry.

Actually, when my lovely wife and I went on a trip she was my guide so to speak, letting me know where to go as we drove along. I miss them days!
Things sure have changed over the years.

Click on link below. Kind of makes a person wonder where we are heading.
If you’re living out in the country like my lovely wife and I do here in Northern Ontario, then chances are you’ve got yourself a septic tank. And let me tell you, it’s mighty important to keep that thing clean and well-maintained if you want to avoid any nasty surprises!
Now, I don’t mean to sound like your momma, but you really shouldn’t be dumpin’ any old thing down that septic tank. Sure, it might seem like an easy way to get rid of stuff, but trust me, it ain’t worth the trouble in the long run. You don’t want to be dealin’ with a backed-up septic tank, believe me.
So what kind of things should you avoid dumping down there? Well, for starters, anything that’s not biodegradable. That means no plastics, no chemicals, like bleach and no non-organic materials. Those things won’t break down like the good ol’ natural stuff, and they’ll just clog up your system faster than you can say, “holy crap!”
And speaking of crap, you should also avoid putting any non-human waste down there. No, I ain’t talking about your dog’s poop (although you should really be picking that up anyway!). I’m talkin’ about stuff like , baby wipes, and other personal hygiene products. Those things don’t break down like toilet paper does, and they’ll just build up over time.
Now, if you’re like me, you might be thinkin’, “but why should I bother getting my septic tank cleaned out if I’m not puttin’ anything bad in there?” Well, let me tell you, even if you’re doing everything right, your septic tank is still gonna fill up eventually. And when it does, you’re going to have yourself a mess on your hands. Trust me, you don’t want that.
So how often should you be getting that septic tank cleaned out, you ask? Well, that really depends on a few factors, like how big your tank is, how many people are using it, and how much water you’re using. As a general rule of thumb, though, most folks should be gettin’ their septic tanks pumped every 3-5 years or so. If you’re not sure when the last time yours was pumped, it’s probably a good idea to get it checked out.
And speaking of getting your septic tank pumped, guess what? I just had ours done today! Yup, I called up the local septic tank pumpin’ guy and had ’em come on out. It didn’t take ’em too long, and now I can rest easy knowin’ my septic tank is good as new.
So there you have it, folks. Take it from me, a country boy who’s been dealing with septic tanks his whole life – it’s important to keep that thing clean and well-maintained if you want to avoid any messy problems. So don’t go dumping anything down there that shouldn’t be, and make sure to get it pumped out every few years or so. Trust me, your nose (and your wallet) will thank you in the long run!
