Another beautiful day in paradise.


I went for an atv ride this morning. I have an appointment in town tomorrow and wanted to do a test run. I took Kita along thinking I would let him run out to the Gibson's road and then put him aboard the bike. That way he could go to town too. I had a little trouble close to the house, in the spot that I got my GMC stuck to the frame a few years ago. At the first right turn, there were moose tracks every where. See ya later Kita! I had one other tricky spot but made it out to the road. I then went to the A5 road and checked on the Birkby and Milne homsteads, AOK. On the way back I got stuck close to the house and had to use the winch to get out. So, if I leave early enough, getting out won't be a problem, but getting back might be. When I got back, Kita was in the yard, jumping around like he was ready for a run!? I guess I can't take him to town tomorrow. If you hear crying tomorrow, it'll be Kita. Maybe I should tie him up over the spot where I'm going to put the new water line so he can start excavating.

In the afternoon I went for a canoe ride. Kita, who LOVES boat rides wouldn't get in the canoe??? Wimp! Such a nice day and I didn't see another person on the lake, I don't know why. Wimps!

The bottom of the ice is hard as a rock and sharp as a knife.




I had stepped on the skidoo track and dragged the canoe inside the circle. A bergy bit broke off, but the wind blew it back, trapping me inside the circle.
