I woke up Friday morning. I was sick as a dog.

Thanks guys. I don't know of any name for this spot, although we started off on a logging road about 20 km south of Princeton on the Crow's Nest highway.

I bought the grill at this high-end store not too far from my place. I don't know if you have them in the US...it's called "Wal-Mart." It was $25 and I got it so I could take something to the beach and have little barbecue parties. Luckily I only have a few friends because the grill is not that big! But it sure is handy in dry environments, or places where open fires are not permitted. I also have one of those trailstove jobbies but they are really small - not much good for grilling. I take it when I go by myself (the winter, or long hikes. Erin does not approve of activities that cannot be done in heels. It is actually amazing to see a pair of running shoes by her there by the river. You are lucky witnesses to a rare event!)

It can be difficult to read with Erin around. But I do my best!
 
We don't really care about you or what you have to say. Got any more pics of Erin?

NIce comment...I'm sure he thought that was cute. I happen to like the fact that he goes out and bothers to take pics for us, and actually knows what he's talking about, his hot girlfriend is just a nice bonus. I don't think that biting the hand that feeds you is the smart thing to do. JMHO, Gene
 
What?!?!?! I'm shocked and appalled!!!

No, I figured you were kidding (if you are reading this.) Although it's good to have the clarification on the internet...you sure lose a lot when there is no tone or body language!

I am not very good at taking pics for this forum, because I never thought about knives as anything but tools, really. So I don't think to take a nice picture of my knife, same way as nobody here is taking pictures of the shovels they use to garden with. But I sure do like a good tool, from a shovel to a knife to a jack plane. So I guess I will probably buy some more nice knives. You guys mostly have nicer stuff than I do, I really only have a few knives I would take pictures of. Most of mine are moras, or something along those lines. I do use them a lot, though - I am one of the only guys I know who uses knives every day at work, for something other than opening boxes! I work as a piledriver, in theory, but in reality I run around a three-mile long jobsite all day sorting out screwball little problems. The number one question I get is, "Hey, Geordie, you got your super knife on you?"

I don't even know why they ask - of course I do! The super knife, BTW, is a ten dollar mora that has probably saved the company ten thousand dollars so far this year in increased productivity. I am thinking of leasing it to them for maybe half that...what a deal!
 
Crap!!!..... I need an assistant..... but I don't think the wife would like it too much. lol. Nice pics of the country side!
 
I too think he was kidding, its just that his joke was....bad. I am protecting the thread here guys, you never know, he might have more pics, and we cannot risk offending him......its to good of a pic thread to screw up.
trust me here, and get my back! I am right, and sure of it....Gene
EDIT:MIS. really, lools like a good trip, and I am looking forward to the next time I get out in the woods...if it wasn't for the pics here, I might never convince the wife, I have to go! I tried convincing her to take some pics with my knives, I got a maybe, She said something about not having anything cute to wear....I think that I might get a few..........now if I post them is another question!
 
Yeah, dude. It was sarcasm. Sorry that wasn't apparent, but my shit eating grin isn't always apparent over the internet.

but I don't think the wife would like it too much.

The fly in the ointment.

Now THAT was entirely uncalled for. :( :)

PS I'm still a Doc Canada groupy. In fact, I think I may cyberstalk him. (Still just kidding. Since I'm typing after having a few frosty brewskis, I figure I better be extra safe this time. Don't want a TUI.)
 
Beautiful country and a gorgeous woman! You'd better hold on to that one. Oh, and give pit his dog back!!! :p
 
Sounds like your "sick as a dog" day was better than most's "best day all year".

It's nice to have that sort of companionship until the companion puts the 1/2" group she shot on the refrigerator next to the 1" group you were so proud of along with a coupon for LensCrafters.
 
LOL!!! She is pretty deadly with her 686, all right! It's a good thing she's too pretty to cheat on, or I would be swiss cheese!
 
Sometimes just getting out of the office and away from the house can fix the "sick as a dog syndrome". I seemed to have developed allergies and they are far worse inside than outside. I don't know where you work, Mis, but if there are others present you never know what kind of bugs they are bringing in.

I think I need to wash my hands. Microbiology class sure does make one paranoid.

Micro-B will do that. Try parasitology...almost put me off meat forever. Just when I felt okay again, I got roomed with a food inspector. He needed help studying. I was afraid to eat...anything. Not just because of the study questions (what is the allowable quantity of insect feces per deciliter of orange juice?) but because he knew so few of the answers.
 
I've been saying for ages I need an assistant.

Anyway, great pics and thanks for the effort. That Gene Ingram knife is wild. I just love it.
