Random weekend pics....












Notice I caught no fish.......

Gonna pack with the wolves, Better learn how to howl..

As most of you know I was ice fishing all weekend, but I only fished for about 2 hours the rest of the time was spent snowmobiling, eating , drinking and bullshiting. Although the fishing trip was a great success, I am soooooo tired from the fresh air, the beer, and snomobiling. It is about a 2km drive off the main plowed road to get to the camp. We arrive Friday night Paul and his truck towing a trailer with a snomachine and me in the Jeep towing a trailer with a snow machine. Paul asks do you want to drive in on the snow machines, or leave the truck here parked on the main road? I was not to crazy about leaving the jeep there so I asked how far is it 2-3 km I was like I really don't want to leave the jeep here in the middle of nowhere plus we would have to go get the sleigh to pull all the gear in. So we made an executive decision at 10 o'clock at night to drive in with the trucks Paul's leading and it's getting to be alot of snow to drive through 4x4 is howling jeeps sliding around everywhere,were making progress Finally made it to the camp where we were parking unloaded the sleds and gear and whipped em across the lake to my buddy's camp where we were staying. I learned that If you want to pack with the wolves you better learn how to howl !It's time to go cruising to visit people on nearby lakes and ice fishing huts, there was a total of 6 of us howlin till 3am Friday night. Crashed out and was up at about 7:30 to go ice fishing for the day. It is a 20mile ride from camp to the lake we planned to fish, so what's the lesson here? Gonna pack with the wolves better learn how to howl off we go! Got to the lake the boys built a nice fire on shore and we set up for fishing but it was so windy we just huddled around the campfire sheltered on the shoreline from the wind. Made some hot dogs on the fire and decided to move down lake where we could fish and it was sheltered from the wind. Two five plus pound lakers were caught in this spot in 53 feet of water, not by me tho I suck at ice fishing! One guy brought a portable fish finder top check for depth the ice was 3 feet thick and there was 50 ft of water where we were fishing. we fished all day and howled back to camp for supper. I lit the sauna with full intentions to have one but after our moose steak supper with all the fixins I was ready for bed. We venture over to the neighbours for a couple o bubbles I was there till about 10 did i tell you, I'm a candy ass because I went back to camp was crashed out by 11. The next day we as a group(when I say we I mean Paul) were worried about getting stuck with the trucks on the way out. We were up early Sunday, Paul had a theory that the snow would not be as sticky because of the overnight temps and the sun not beating on it all day ... were leaving early bounced our way out with a little difficulty but I made it home by 1pm actually it was noon but the dam time change really started to effect me. I crashed whit ch explains the fact that I never put the pictures from this weekend on my computer... so when I get a chance to post em tonight or tomorrow I will!

Shit Happens!

There is a urban myth about rainbows there is supposed to be a pot of gold at the end of every one, I say this is as close as your gonna get ever! I do quite a bit of shopping at the Beer store and I think it is safe to say "Shit Happens at the Beer store" let me explain.....
It's dark out, I pull up in the jeep park it and get out, walking towards the door blinded by a cars headlights on the other side of the parking lot, I notice this guy walkin (sort of) towards the door of the store I think wow did that guy drive here......No good that was a cab blinding me anyhow He beats me to the door, enters the store and orders his beer the chick workin was reluctant to serve him but she did and told him "no more tonight" He was like yup and left. OK my turn I smile , order and tell the girl I thought that last guy was driving. She started complaining about the cab company always bringing drunks to the store, so were chatting away Then the fun begins, this guy stumbles up to the counter she or I can't even make out what he was trying to order.I guess he gave up and went outside to send his buddy in. Chatting with the chick at the counter , his buddy stumbles in and stands in front of the wall of beer selections one hand over one eye, reciting out loud what he wanted to order.were kinda laughing as he Wanders up to the counter, were standing there He's just standing there.He says the words "beer" the chick is like your at the right store. I guess he forgot what he wanted in the 20 steps he took to get to the counter so needless to say he was not served and stumbled out.
I was laughing she was laughing .... never a dull moment eh! I grab my beer and left. What I did after that I can't say sometimes shit happens other places then the Beer store!

Bubble up

Survey says.......


So I like Bacon, and so do most people I know. I had a crazy Idea if you were to take the smell of freshly cooked bacon and somehow turn it into aerosol spray for air freshening and counteracting odours around the house. That would be stellar!
You could also trick people in the morning, wake up before everyone else, Spray a little around the house before you know it the people get up. One things for sure they will wake up hungry and you get out of cooking Genius or what? As ya'all can see they do actually make bacon scented air fresheners but do they come in aerosol ?
Not yet!

Load Me Up


Well Hello racefans! I know I have been slacking in the blogging department lately and I actually feel a little guilty when I don't come up with something to post. But really I have not gone out or done much exiting in the last week so what's left? Although Friday was a snow day so I took the day off blogging. I could blog about my couch or the cold weather but who the fuck wants to know about that? So what to write about?... and bam there it was, I'm at work reading the paper and the "top story" was the fact that our slowly dying poor excuse for a city only wants it's residence to put out 2 bags of garbage per household per week. I bet we pay the same amount tax dollars we did when they picked up 3 bags per household now That's fucked! Don't get me wrong I am all for recycling, reducing waste and saving the planet but I don't think that someone will try to fill 3 bags every week I'm just saying if you do end up with lots It is nice to be able to get rid of it. Let's just say it's fall time and you rake up 2 bags of leaves plus you 2 bags of trash = to many bags! It costs a minimum of $5 to go to the city dump and the recycle drop offs are locked tight on the weekends. I think it's safe to say the council that we have voted in is royally screwing up this town Don't even get me started about the skateboard park in the marina.... I think all ya'all should email the city council and tell them something dumb they have done in the last year!!
It should be easy !

Advertising on police cars





To start off the month of March ....I got A new favorite show! I liked it before, but I used to have a dish and I guess I watched other things. Anyhow now that I only have 2 and 4 I look forward to Corner Gas coming on. It is a Canadian produced programme and in my opinion it is truly one of the funniest shows out there.It is on the local channels Monday nights but I Think I'm gonna go buy the previous seasons on DVD tonight!

If you don't like it then my suggestion is........
