I really had a hard time refusing.
In chat
a guy
offered
to eat my ass
so far up that I wouldn't have to chew my food.
Was I wrong refusing?
It might have been just what I was looking for.
Vowing to be a lil more open to new experiences.

As I always am, towards the end of the season, for a change. I am now looking forward to fall. I have had enough of the heat and humidity. I am looking forward to warm days and cool nights.
Before fall is well and truely over I will be looking forward to winter. Snow storms and wild weather. Long before winter is over I will be looking forward to the green of spring which will in turn blend into summer starting the whole process over again.
I don't think I will ever understand how those of you who live in temperate climates don't go absolutely insane with the sameness of your weather.
Ready for the beauty and serenity of fall,

After all these years I finally got my self a real computer chair! It's sooooooooooooooo comfy and it spins!!!
Grinin' and spinin'

I will accept responsibility for it.
Being accused of something that I haven't got a clue about is something else!
Wondering how I got dragged into something that I wasn't even there for,
ju

an afternoon/evening/night of alone time!!
vids, check
arrive, check
vids, check
arrive, check
I think I am starting to see a pattern here!
Feeling oh so good,

I am trying to make a safety harness out of an 8" fire hose that will hold a 2" character onto a roof made out of wire shelving, that is mounted on top of an SOS station.
"It shouldn't be around his feet!!"
"Why does it keep falling off?"
"How come this ladder doesn't have the hooks on it like a real roofing ladder?"
"It's too short!!!"
insert tantrum here.
Just trying to keep breathing,

One more holiday pic.



That is a small portion of the miles of slag that have come from the nickel mine that supplies 95% of the worlds nickel. Slag in case you don't know is garbage rock, nothing will ever be done with it, it is just piled up, mile upon mile of slag. The massive dump truck you see in this pic is actually dumping soil on top of the slag in hopes that something will grow.

Some interesting facts.

Albert Einsten staked a claim here needing a limitless supply of nickel for his new batteries. He abandoned his claim 35' from striking nickel.

Queen Elizabeth II visited one of the mines here. Women are NOT allowed underground they are considered bad luck. The mine she visited was closed for 6 months following her visit.

The number one use of nickel is the making of stainless steel kitchen sinks. No matter where in the world you are if you have a stainless steel kitchen sink you have a lil bit of Canada in your house.

I found this site morbidly facinating the sheer scope of the piles of slag that have been accumulating since 1900 are mind boggling. Daily we felt and heard the blasting in the mine.



Left to right me, cap aka bng and nita at the big nickel.

Sometimes things are just too big to comprehend,

nope I didn't find NN I had been here for months before that and I had stopped masturbating long enough to find chat and not leave for the next 6 months solid. But 4 years ago today I became a member.
Happy aNNiversary to me!!

We rented a van today so we could all head north. At least one kid thought the van was far cooler than any of the sites we saw sheesh!
For all of you waterfall lovers this is Onaping Falls, a site made famous by Canadian Group of Seven artist Ay Jackson.

From the top.



From the bottom.



They must be a magnificent sight in the spring during the runoff because they are stunning now.

Our next stop worthy of mention (we won't mention pee/smoke breaks) Was my first venture into the James Bay Frontier. For those of you who don't know, James Bay is that big bay at the bottom of Hudsons Bay. Have a look at a map of North America its that big hunk of usually ice shown as water at the top of your map.



And then our final destination and picnic spot the Arctic water shed.



Yup, the other side says "Atlantic watershed from here all rivers flow to the Atlantic"

It was an amazing day for me. The watershed is literally in the middle of nowhere the only places to stop along that highway are boat launches at the many uninhabited lakes along the highway. You are warned as you leave "civilization" that there are no gas stations for at least 100 kilometers. We left behind the southern forests and moved into the boreal forest area and in one spot we saw evidence of a huge forest fire.
Six hours later we were back from a road trip I will never forget.
Thanks Cap and Nita.
