Speaking of floating boats ... also been into Great Lakes freighter videos. Someone films those massive steel bathtubs coming in and out of the Duluth Harbour.

With our golf trip in Niagara every year, I've been fortunate to see quite a few of those big boats in action. They come trundling through the Welland Canal and I've seen 'em at the Regional Rd. 59 lift bridge just south of the QEW in St. Catharines and a few kms further south between Thorold and Port Robinson at the Allenburg Lift Bridge over Highway 20.

I’m like ….a punctuality nerd. I think it started being a competitive swimmer for a long time and practicing by timing intervals with the clock.i started at a very young age. Held the 10 and under 25 Yard backstroke record for a long time.in retrospect that makes total sense. I am still good at not seeing where I’m going. Lol

I like to show up 3 minutes late to drive the punctuality nerds crazy.

I went to Niagara so one night while (I can only presume) drunk & high, my college roommates and I climbed the Allenburg bridge. My finest moment? No. Oh to be young and dumb again. Actually, no. I’m good :cool:

To the top? You had to be high AF Mr. Chiz cause that is a pretty big fall into the canal.

Well ... it's a good thing it all worked out in the end.
