The weeks roll around

Man, is it just me or does it seems like weeks go by like days! Every time i turn around, the week is almost done. Connor and are going to go down the little colpitts river fiddleheading the next fine day we have. Megan is saying she wants some river time too (yay, there was a time when she would scream the whole time she was on the water).
I'll put up pic over the next few weeks, I'm going to build Dar a greenhouse. Hopefully It'll look and work good.

Pollet river run!

What a great day! Connor, and his buddy Ryan and I went on the annual pollet river run. Loaded up the 17' green canoe, and put in at 11:00 AM. We had a bracing good breakfast in Nixon at our men's breakfast to start, that made us late. Rafts were bouncing along in the shallow water. All the people, (though very drunk) were really glad to see the boys, and immediatly cleaned up the language as soon as they saw us.
After the first half of the river, everyone else pulls off at a big party and mud fest, but I always keep on going all the way down the river to Salisbury. After the crowds, we saw eagles, geese, and a little red fox. In all it took us 7 hours to go from Elgin NB to Salisbury NB. Google earth it, and you'll see that we paddled about twice as far as the crow flies.

Back again

Yup, Dave got a new computer, I got a new keyboard. Oh well, we got the interweb at home now, so I'll be able to be more regular at this kind of stuff, (The river is high though). Saturday is the Pollet river run, and the boy and I will be canoeing it. Gotta keep my presence up if I am to continue to state that it is MY river.
Trying to get insurance on the three wheeler. Gonna cost more than the bike did. Imagine, licence it, insure it, and you still can't drive it on the road. Cleaned out the old chicken coop, the new one later on (maybe next week).
