Numb Nuts
April 19, 2012 By Kevin Blackmore Leave a Comment
Numb nuts, cock Issaac and stundarse all fall into that category of descriptions which are applied to people (of either gender and those in between) who you don't like. "My dear", "Dear Jeeses", and "I could eat you" are terms of endearment.(though that last one now is grossly misinterpreted) I know I shouldn't have to explain it, I know, but the next time I'm in Europe, Asia, or to Canada and some smarmy French person or some upity Brit, or some cocky Italian gets upset with me over a … [Read More...]
Going to BC
April 3, 2012 By Kevin Blackmore 2 Comments
We haven't been in BC in a few years, but when people mention BC they all think of Vancouver and the island, then the coast. We're going to Fort St. John and Fort Nelson. I bet there's a lot of people in B.C. who would ask "Where's that?" No problem. I had to ask where exactly is "Bide Arm" recently, how odd is that? You'd think I'd know by now! Every now and again though I hear of a community in NL and I wonder just exactly where it is...how many people know precisely where every community … [Read More...]

That's what we used to slide down over hills at Mach 2 on the side of Gander Lake, you got one run a day and had to walk the mile back up on a 45 degree angle in snow up to your waist, but stories from youngsterhood is not what I'm laughing at today...SLEDS! Ha Ha Ha! Stunned arses. I suppose you calls Quads ATV's too do ya! Been on the mainland too long b'ys! … [Read More...]
Clearwater river

Out on the Clearwater river walking along (no not like Jesus, it's March and there's three feet of ice on top) and I realized that the new skidoos are not Skidoos at all! Some company called "Arctic Cat" makes one, junk as far as I can see, and there are ones called "Polaris", junk too, and there's one called Yamaha! Now buddy, that can move! I think I'm going to put a new engine in my 12 ELAN. If I stick in two 12 HP ROTAX engines side by side I'd have 24 HP. That might be good, but I don't … [Read More...]
Fort McMurray

Fort McMurray here we come. It's interesting isn't it this perception of the Oil Sands as being the biggest polluter on the planet! I have to say in all the years going there I've yet to see the evidence. As near as I can see, while flying into Toronto Airport, in the sky over Greater Metro is where the big orange cloud hovers. It's also interesting that most of the outspoken as well as the closet enviornmentalists seem to hang out primarily in places like Toronto. If you gave me the choice, any … [Read More...]
