You realize that probably 10,000 Cod will give up their tongues for your pie.

Not to mention cod has become somewhat of an endangered species on the east coast of Canada

After Mike's '10,000 tongue' comment I began to wonder how big a tongue a Cod has. It turns out that Cod don't have tongues. WHat's refered to as a Cod's tongue is a small muscle from th eneck of the Cod.

As to Carol's comment about the endangered Cod, I always feel when we go to Newfoundland that I eat Cod at least every other day. For some reason there always seems to be enough for local consumption. In the pre-endangered period, Newfoundland was a big exporter of Cod, no longer. It seems they keep it for themselves.

When in Newfoundland, eat as the Newfies eat! I don't blame them for keeping the cod to themselves...there's enough of everything to go around so long as "everyone"'s a small enough group.

Just too bad for the rest of us that we're not in that select crowd- I love cod.

Eat a couple of cod tongue sandwiches for me when you're there, Norm!

I converted the Index to a PDF file.

Hope this helps some one. Nothing about my solar panel installation is in this thread. It all ended up in another thread on Solar.

Francesca,

We pretty much eat Newfoundland food except for possibly breakfast which we usually eat at home (in the trailer). We love seafood and already have plans for some Newfie Lobster.

Today we began stocking up the trailer with non-perishables...... the excitement begins.

Our picture was taken in the province of Nfld on the top of Whale Hill.

Yup when there isnt enough of something to share all around that pretty well sums it up as to why some feel its endangered.

I tried out your index and it works great. Was able to find some various posts.
Would have been nice in different colors. e.g. red for Casita, green for -Uhaul etc etc.

otherwise THANKS for the data file.

That would be Blue for Casita, Red for Scamp and Orange for U-Haul.

I think everyone is celebrating Cinco de Mayo early today.

honda03842 · 05-05-2013, 01:01 PM

Carol,

I'm not surprised that it's endangered, primarily because the world came to Newfoundland's shores to fish for about 500 years, feeding a good portion of Europe . It's amazing to go to Red Bay and see the sites where the Portuguese came in the 1500's to hunt whales and fish.

Apparantly Newfies in some measure are allowed to fish.

LOL Norm, the right of a Newfie to fish for cob kind of falls into the same category as an American having the right to keep and bear arms, regardless of what the rest of the world thinks of it.

honda03842 · 05-05-2013, 01:24 PM

Carol,

It turns out that recreational Cod fishing is permitted by anyone without having to get a permit, only 5 fish per day during the season.

Darrell in Al · 05-06-2013, 02:10 PM

Sir
You and the Lady of your life, could have a best seller books with your mods and travels.

honda03842 · 05-06-2013, 02:16 PM

Darrell,

Books are work and I did a lot of that and enjoyed it. Now we're focusing on each other and travel.

The trailer's packed waiting for next Wednesday.

honda03842 · 05-06-2013, 02:28 PM

Tongue Weight

Weighed the tongue today, 189 lbs. Our goal is not to exceed 200 lbs. It includes our clothes and food, 1/2 tank of water, full propane, and ant-sway bar.

We'll weigh the trailer as we leave town next Wednesday. Both of us our ready, sort like sneaking off together when we were younger.

Did not get as much done on the trailer as we wanted; a little focus on the house since were gone 11 months and home for only 6 weeks the year before.

Ken in Philly · 05-13-2013, 08:29 PM

Newbie here. Your mods are amazing. I'm starting slowly, adding plastic and wire bins, and maybe a small plastic drawer set to sit on the top bunk, without cutting into my Scamp yet.

I'd love to take a poll for the best places to shop for various plastic bins, drawers, locking containers, etc... I was thinking of IKEA, maybe Walmart after that. What have you found?

I wasnt sure if i should post this here, or as a separate thread. Chose here to reduce clutter. Please advise if I should split the poll question off.
