    Tough Canuck... :)

    For those of you fortunate enough to have been up here, you will remember Nathan. He is the contractor that we have had working on the house. He is also a good friend and compatriot. For those who have not met him yet, here is a shot of him. He decided to take a week off and go up into the hills...

    Another day.... another afternoon of washing the skunk-infested dogs!! :D:

    Yeah... they went down the [skunk] hole and came up smelling......... well not like roses, that's for certain. Anyway.. the skunk made the mistake of coming out [a little bloodied and wounded.. The .410 took care of that. :) So, the house has a rather diminished pungent odour for now. Thank...

    What an incredibly depressing and unfortunate day..

    Alice and I went out to get the absolute, this is the last, load of firewood today. We now have almost a 3 year supply if we give some to our kids; and probably a four year supply if we don't. On our way back down the hill, Alice says "Look, there is a bear". I stopped the truck and backed up...

    My gawd... do I ever have some catching up to do.... got back yesterday from a 4 hour dive..

    This was a job for a friend.. no money involved.I was setting a mooring anchor for his sailboat and it entailed moving large chunks of metal to basically make a heavy pile. Then we anchored the chain to that and went from there. All of this was at 60 feet so I did my exercise yesterday. :) I am...

    Thief!! Thief!! :)

    Went out to pick some of our apples yesterday. We got to the tree and heard russeling in the branches and saw apples on the ground. I knew immediately what was happening. So, I came back to the house, got camera and rifle [just to be sure] and came back. I tossed a couple of rocks at him and he...

    A strange, and fortuitous meeting.. part 3

    Fast forward to the late 1990s. I was still diving, albeit perhaps with a tad more caution than before. We still lived in Victoria and we were retired. We were in the process of redoing our house and had decided to tile our dining room and entrance hall. I had never tiled before and when we went...

    A Strange, and very fortuitous, meeting

    Victoria, B.C, in the mid to late 1800s and early 1900s, was a genteel city dominated by theatres and the arts. At least, that is the history that is portrayed by the city archives and museums. There was indeed, a great deal of upscale arts and entertainment in Victoria during these times...

    Two guys go bass fishing in open waters, return home with venison

    xoB finds this, in heavily e-mail-forwarded fashion, to be "making the rounds". [attachment 65007 deerfishing1.jpg] [attachment 65008 deerfishing2.jpg] Quote: Last Saturday morning, my buddy Bo Warren and I were trolling for stripers in the Bay. We were 1 1/2 miles offshore in about 80 feet...

    Now this is a rapacious monster!!!

    13 days ago, on July 17th, I phoned the forestry branch up here and reported this fire. I told them it was small, maybe an acre or less in size. If they wanted to get it under control, now would be the time...... send in a chopper with a bucket, , spend two hours dropping water on it and it...

    It was 38 years ago!! :)

    It was 38 years ago today, that the young couple walked, with trembling feet and uncertain hearts, down the aisle towards a future together. They were not sure of their future together, [he had not job, nor any prospects at the time; she only did part time work gardening]. However, with love...

    Well... South East met West yesterday...

    And it was a good time had by all. As has been said before... This was not a meeting... but a reunion. [attachment 54633 billlinda-004.jpg] Willy however, does like his wine. :) [attachment 54634 billlinda-006.jpg] More later Fair winds M

    Well, if Friday was a good day.... today would rank as spectacular... And Royal:.... I am really, really, really, sorry 'bout this. :)

    What to do and where to go today. With the lake rising at a pretty good rate [it ain't supposed to do this for another month... the jerkweeds!!! :) ], our choice of places is getting a bit more limited. Linda suggested, and we concurred] that perhaps where she found her last arrowhead would be a...

    Yesterday was a pretty good day..

    After a slow waking up, and Sunny complaining because I only had decaffeinated coffee [hey, I know nothing about coffee], we did the horses, I welded the muffler back on the truck [boy they sure make them cheap these days] and we set out for a time at the beach. It was really calm .... so much...

    How to help increase your finds. :) Not one of my stories in the usual sense, but I felt it would go in here.

    Most of us on the forum gravitated to this site through our metal detecting activities. We started out searching for the detecting aspects, and wound up on Royals forum because of the family and friends atmosphere that we have found here. There is not one, not one, person on this site that I...
