Ok, all bases covered. A few additions to my equipment and now I'm ready for anything. Gotta have all your gear and it has to be ready to go at all times. Picked up a new tent, some paddles, some hunting clothes (I'm putting these to the test this week. I'll be video taping the effectiveness of high quality camoflauge, hehehe. Check in later this week for video.) binoculars(for bird watching of course) and a bunch of odds and ends.
Also I picked up a can of boat paint so I'll be giving the canoe a fresh painting this week. It's the least I can do, the canoe is on loan for the summer. Thanks Becks! By the way, why is that stuff so expensive?!
On my to-do this week is riding lessons. I've been on a horse before but lessons are the best way to improve skills quicker. So I got riding boots on stand-by and my cowboy hat, although they might make me wear a helmet in the beginning(also on stand-by) Place is in Pickering called Stone Ridge Farm. I'll let you all know how it is.
And Monday morning I'm stopping in Whitby to sign up for sailing lessons. It's 2 weekends, full days, total learn to sail but in a smallish boat in moderate weather. Gotta wait til fall to take my coastal navigation but I've learned how to navigate fairly well already. Charts people! There's a reason these things are made.
I've asked just about everyone if they want to go riding or sailing and it's no's all around so this will be solo. And as far as camping goes the job I'm doing will be finished this week so I'm marking myself 'unavailable' next week and I'm off to Massasauga for a few days. Looks like it'll be just me and everyone's favorite wildlife.
The most dangerous animal on the planet.
She likes camping, killing things, and chasing balls!
