Her shipping address was in Sudbury, I guess living that far north in a dirty mining town can make you bitchy.
In '03 I took a motorcycle trip cross-country, with an excursion into Canada (north shore of Superior and visiting friends just south of Ottawa). I rode through Sudbury. By the place with the Big Smokestack I noticed some folks with a table and some placards. I stopped and chatted: nickel miners on strike. They had some really cool show&tell on nickel processing. I left there with a coupla balls of primary-production nickel in my pocket. It's now part of my woefully incomplete "periodic table" collection.

I bet the winding roads in northern Ontario were a lot of fun to ride, did you stop by the big nickel for a photo? I was there when I was little. We were passing through on a road trip to Thunder Bay. I don't remember a lot, but I do remember how dirty and rundown it looked, the bad smell and being asked to leave a restaurant as soon as we finished eating because they closed early on Sunday.

I caught a 24pk +/- buzz. Probably should have eaten but didn’t so kind of feel shitty this morning lol.

No salmon this time :-( it was sort of expected though.
Sounds like you had a killer day! It’s funny, i had always dreamt of having a pool and when I had bought a house with a pool i used the shit out of it the first couple summers and then hardly. It would be so fucking hot out which you think is perfect to go swimming and lounging in there but I wouldn't even want to go outside of my air conditioned home lol. The pool ended up being a pain in the ass. But now I miss not having one.
Sounds like my boat. :roll:

It got to the point that I wouldn't even go out unless conditions were ideal.

Unfortunately, the fish I chase tend to like shitty weather.
Best action is when I'm constantly fucking with my trolling motor with a drift sock deployed.

I think I looked at them over a decade ago.

A quick check reveals my test articles (arsenic, phosphorus) unavailable.

I've pretty much quit building the table. Macroscopic samples of the noble metals are beyond my current pay grade.

Bob Lazar? Maybe I should email him for a sample of moscovium. :joint:
