Another Trip
Well Dora is gone. Off to Toronto for an extended weekend to visit with friends from 10 years ago. Back then, she did a stint in Canada World Youth and traveled to Indonesia. Well, it seemed fitting to do a 10 year reunion so that's where she is. We boys back home are doing just fine and hope your having f...

LadiesFest
Well, Dora was up for another race today, Ladiesfest, an all female 8k that goes up and down the coulee. She was planning on running it with her mom, but unfortunately, she became ill in the morning and was unable to race. Dora's sister-in-law was also running, so they ran it together instead. Her official time is not available yet, but it would be 47min + as we have a picture of her approaching the finish line at 47:01. Last year her time was...

Boy's Camping Trip... sort of
Well me and the bro headed out to Waterton mid week for a little rest and relaxation.... yeah right. Funny thing is when you go camping with 3 kids, rest and relaxation are just silly words you tell yourself to encourage the exodus from home. Any smart man would throw the kids in the backyard, grab a beer and be happy... but not us! We're not that smart! After traveling 40km and stopping twice, we realized the dire situation we were putting...

Star Trek Cartoon + Shatner’s “Common People” = Kirk/Spock Slashup
Courtesy of Neatorama....Behold the best Star Trek mash up ever: the animated Star Trek + William Shatner’s cover of Pulp’s "Common People" = greatness!Done in the style of Kirk/Spock (or K/S) story: In the science fiction TV series Star Trek (1966-1969), the characters of Captain James T. Kirk and his Vulcan science officer Mr. Spock share an unusually close friendship, although both characters have relationships and sexual liaisons with women. Almost from the beginning, fans noticed the loving nature of the relationship. A few fan writers started...
Happy Fathers Day
Well it was fathers day over the weekend and it was a pretty good couple of days. It started out with me helping my Father move into their new house. I must admit that I'm starting to feel my age and my lack of exercise as I felt the pains of moving the next day. It was however a great day as it started with a "treasure hunt", was followed up with Smitty's for breakfast, next a paddle down the Oldman river with a BBQ to finish.Thanks to Dora for...

Need a tent?
Someone locally is selling a tent and I thought I would mention it. Seems like a good price so if a friend is interested, I could pick it up and we could arrange delivery later. It's a bit heavy but if your getting out in the winter it's a good tent.http://waterton.blogspot.c...
High water in Waterton
With the heavy rain in Southern Alberta, I thought I would make a quick post for the Lost LOMAHs so they could see what it looks like.photo: Chris Goblehttp://waterton.blogspot.com/2008/05/waterton-high-water.h...
The Broken Group (1 of 3)
Well 9 days later I am back in LOMAH, after a 5 day paddling trip in the Broken group in BC. The trip was awesome and I will do my best to tell the tale and provide insight if you ever plan a trip yourself.First I cheap. No wait.... thrifty! Instead of flying into Victoria, I found a cheap flight to Vancouver for $185 including the taxes! To add to my...... thriftiness, I decided to take public transit to Victoria rather than pay to take the bus, Pacific Coach line at $85 return. So instead I did as follows:1. Take the 424 bus to the airport...

TGIM!
I know, I know - thank god it's Monday!?! But that is the day my adventuring husband returns from Victoria and area. Hopefully full of all sorts of great stories, some that he is able to share. We have been doing fine here on the home front, though missing dad of course. It's been an adventure here too. Thankfully there are contractors out there that still have enough pride in their work to come and fix things in the rain - for free.One more morning to get to day home before work...And one more supper to make...Having Marko home this year was...
