I've had Canada Goose, wild duck, black bear, elk, white tailed deer, Buffalo, etc. and I like wild game. Healthy for you too.

Most likely places to end up after trades training, in 4-5 years time, is either Edmonton or Petawawa as that's where the two Combat Engineer Regiments are. So if I'm ever in the area, that's not an offer I'll turn down

Horrifying sight when walking our Shih Tzu. She eats their poop like popcorn and then we pay for it all night long.

Brings meaning to the dogs breed, if you say it as one word...

Hmmm. Most things make good sausages at the end of the day - all the spices covering up any unsavoury tastes

No adventures then?

We had a friend lose the wheel off their truck while driving up a logging road for firewood. Dad was out, so it was up to me to go and help the rescue, got the wheel back on enough to drive it onto our flatbed, then chained it all down before driving into town. Didn't fall off at all on the drive down bumpy roads and the highway - I guess I did it all securely

If you get the 60 years.

My father said that by 1939 most of the WWI veterans who had lived in the resettlement area near where he grew up were dead. Many of them because they came back with half a lung after being gassed on the western front.

We cannot do such conversions of the geese on the meadow between my place and the river.

You did offer free beer to a soldier.

Yes, in english for sure. Personally, I think it's Tibetan for "The most stubborn but loyal being on the face of the earth"

It means ‘lion’ because they are bred to look like the Chinese artist style of lion.

Well my son and I did get into homemade Margaritas Sunday afternoon; I went to bed early. Dangerous.

And Monday, myself, my son, and a friend left the house alone to my grateful wife. We loaded up the SxS and headed into the bush. I dropped my son at a lake with our inflatable boat and electric motor where he proceeded to catch fish. My friend and I continued into the wilds of Eastern Ontario in search of Bog Elfins. I drove, he searched.

Butterflies of Ontario - Bog Elfin

That's his page BTW.

Anyway, a fun drive, explored a few more trails, marked a few more trails to be explored, Rick found his butterfly, my son caught many large fish so we went home and celebrated with a cold frosty beer. Oh, and Ms Charlac V3 was very happy for her "no boys in the house" time.
