Thank you for the warm wishes epigramman. I do late nights on occasion to catch up with things. I love going to Port Dover and I love to watch them catch lake perch off the dock. Someday I will fish with them. Perch is so wonderful to eat. There is nothing like it. Thanks again for the compliments. Have a great night tomorrow my fellow Canadian friend.
