Mergansers on our shore.

The escape.



Last evening.



Still cloudy and raining. I think we are starting to get cabin fever. Seventy days or so 'till the first frost, but who's counting? ME!

Glad to help Razor. Happy wife, happy life.

The view while drowning worms last evening. The only bites we got were from mosquitoes.

TWO! Count 'em, two days in a row without rain! Temps in the mid twenties. The bugs aren't too bad during the day, except for the nippers which chew Kita's ears off. The black flies are mostly gone and the mosquitoes don't come out 'till after dark.

Happy Birthday Grasshopper!

This newspaper clipping is from the olden days when girls in uniform pumped your gas for 20 cents a GALLON. Boy, that was a looooong time ago.

I spent the last couple of days installing a solar system for the Doc and doing some rewiring. Another one off the noisy generator. The systems are now pretty much just plug and play, making installation almost idiot proof. Soon, even you can can install one yourself, making me obsolete.



Weather, more rain and thunder storms. Almost time to board the boat, two by two.

On Friday, Lynn-Marie visited Linda and waved to everybody on the lake with her kayak paddles. She also brought a whole day without rain. But, on Saturday we got 3/4 inches of rain in half an hour. Some streets in the city were flooded.


A Tadpole.

I forget what evening this was.



On Monday we picked up this northern 'bogan to haul behind the Yammie. It came all the way from Inuvik. Thanks Frank.

On Tuesday we dog sat Lexxi, Linda's doberman(woman?). She doesn't realize how lucky she was to be on the other side of the door. George howled, hissed and growled all day.

Yesterday I thought that we would get one day without rain, but we got a shower at sun down.

Wild life pics.

This rabbit is very tame and lets you get to three to four feet of him before he casually hops away. Unusual for a rabbit. A rabid rabbit perhaps? When Kita sees the rabbits now, he mostly just ignores them.



I found this very rare Northern Penguin cavorting at the beach.

I also found a complete snake skin shed. Thirty-one inches long. Don't worry Lizard, it was a long way from the house. It must of been two, two and a half, maybe even three feet away.

Jason, don't get your skirt in a knot, I've been out of town, or, rather, in town. We went to Kitchener to visit the Bishop Superkids. With the price of gas, a trip to Michigan to visit the Brown Superkids wasn't in the budget at this time.

Fireworks at Bedrock on Canada Day Eve.

Scooter-girl Ellia.



Finally got to meet Superhappy Athena.

Superkids at the Spraygrounds.




Kita watches over Athena.



Kman learned to ride a two wheeler while we were there. Awesome, Dude! Ellia will be riding very soon.
