Yeah, Couchchiching is rougher than Sparrow, but Simcoe trumps them both for being rough. I would be happy to make it down to the Narrows one day without too much of an issue. Just that bowling alley and cruisers = freaky riding.. lol.
Soo as for my trip of heading down to my buddies place Saturday, that changed over the weekend.
The previous weekend the toilet at the cottage was blocked up. Being that the toilet is 40+ years old, we figured it finally had enough. After a run down to Home Depot and about an hour later it was back on, but only worked "fine" for a few hours. Needless to say we ended up digging up a bit of the backyard up to the holding tank to find a few leaks in the PVC pipe (that was laid.. who knows how long ago) to try and figure out what was wrong.
Turned out.. umm there was a blockage mid-way down the line, and we found a tree root growing up the drain pipe from inside the holding tank. Another weekend we will be removing the existing pipe (that had 3 different connection points in a 22ft span) and to try and get rid of the tree roots that probably clogged up the drain in the first place.
Needless to say, I did get on the boat over the weekend with my brother, my wife and his 2 young daughters (8 and 6) and we enjoyed a ride and a swim on Saturday. Wow it was hot and it was much deserved !
They were all happy to be on the boat enjoying the time out there..
Lake Couchchiching, Rama
