Cute, and cool.


Lotsa nice colour. With all that snow we had, most of our trees went from green, to on the ground.

I had put this on facebook, but though I would share here. This is from our 5 day canoe trip last weekend at Maligne Lake, in Jasper National Park.

Stunningly beautiful, Jim... You were towing the hand made canoe behind you, right?

Greg, in terms of stupid people (re the holding up of a store with a boomerang), this one is great:

Ideally, I'd have both.

Ideally, it would be nice to have a full quiver of boats, including lots of canoes and kayaks. With canoes I have a tandem river and a tandem lake canoe. The former is great in big rapids, turns fast, etc. The latter is sleeker, and goes way faster, but does not turn as easily.

Some people use double blades for solo canoeing. You do need a boat that you can sit really low in, otherwise you need an absurdly long paddle due to the angle of entry into the water. Double blades for canoes are typically 20 cm or more longer than what you would use in a kayak. If you sit higher, as you normally do in a canoe, the angle of entry becomes quite steep. I know a few solo canoers who use a double blade, but they almost always have both it and a regular paddle, opting for the double blade in windy conditions, and the single blade for better control.

My solo cedar stripper I am building has been put on hold, unfortunately. Just too many things in life to do, those of necessity like work and stuff around the house, dealing with parental issues, etc. And then, there are so many other fun things to do, that I can't seem to find enough time to do them all, like backcountry travel (just a couple trips this year), trailer travel (though did get quite a few extended weekends in this year), destination travel (just one short trip to Mexico this year), guitar playing (only learned a few new songs, and forget many more), family time (did get lots of this in), and so on, and so on......

Where did everybody go?

We just got back from a week's trip to Disney World topped off with a ride on Amtrak's Sunset Limited from New Orleans to LA.

It is nothing but rain, rain and more rain in Orlando this week. This poor Sand Hill
crane was so wet he wanted to hop in the car.

You were in Orlando? I wish we'd known that. We could have met up.

Well, obviously not the Canadian Rockies, 'cause we like ours neat. Admittedly, there are a couple we add a sprinkle of water to,to open up the taste a bit.
