    We have had guests from Victoria for the last few days... But we did get out and play for a while.. sooooooo..... a few shots of our area [with one ra

    We went out to Burton for a mornings walk and arrowhead hunt. We did not find anything since we spent more time walking and talking. But through the morning mist, we saw this tug emerge while pulling a few loads of logs. [attachment 51535 tug-fog-001.jpg] [attachment 51536 tug-fog-002.jpg]...

    I was not going to post this.. { I am certain that you all are getting tired of it]... But Royal asked me to so,,, being a good peon, I said I would!!

    Todays finds from Burton. On another note, I found another virgin area for arrowheads. I will probably just leave it sit until everyone shows up. :) [attachment 50377 1900-1901-001.jpg] Fair winds M

    Misadventure on the Reservoir Dog!!!

    As many of you know, I did some commercial diving for a living. I did this over a period of several years, and the jobs were all varied and fascinating. One of these jobs entailed diving for sea urchins. For those who have not read about this period of my life, I will relate some of the...

    Well, it ain't quite finished. ... But the back is broken and from here on in, the job should be easier..

    As some know, I have been a little busy this year restoring a 1964 land rover. When I got it, I had no idea of just how much work I had put upon myself. Banjo, the original owner, God bless and love him, loved to take things apart. However, he wasn't any too proficient at putting things together...

    Well , as usual, we are busy again... Alice has recieved her date for he new knee to be put in.. It is March 2nd..

    and of course, that means there is much to be caught up. I have missed being on regularyly and only being able to dart in and read the posts. However, by this time next week, she will have had it done and then she will be almost 100% again. What a novel concept... Walking around with no pain. :)...

    "I took my troubles down to Madame Rue You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth "

    Well, the day started out fairly nice. At around 9:00 o'clock , the temperature was around 38 degrees and the wind was non-existent so I decided on a Burton run again. {I know, this is the wrong forum, but..... :biteme: :lol: ] But, at 10:00 o'clock, it was starting to snow. However, it was too...

    I guess that I am going to finally have to take a detector with me to the beach.. This eyeballing finds is getting too easy!!! :) :)

    I figure tomorrow or The weekend, I will take the machine and do some detecting and arrowheading at the same time. Meanwhile just going for a walk produces some nice finds. :) [attachment 48215 quarter-008.jpg] Calm seas M

    Well, while you Eastern guys are being bored [what with all that snow], I took a day off and went arrowheading [ Willy... I told you I wuz gonna do th

    Actually, it was a pretty good day. I have been working on the Rover pretty much non-stop for the winter [a few side jobs... but mostly the Rover]. I decided to go to Burton to have a look. When I got to Burton, the beach, from a distance, did not look all that good. Lotsa snow and a long walk...

    Practical jokes gone wild.. :lol:

    In reading Franks story of the flamingos, it jogged a memory of practical joking gone wild between a buddy and me when we lived back in Victoria. Now Ed and I were good buddies; we had been so since he had emigrated to Canada from England back in the early 1970s. He had married a lovely young...

    AOOGAH, AOOGAH... dive, dive, dive

    Anyone who has been diving for any length of time will spend hours telling you about the world underwater. The life, the peace and serenity, the finds that have been made. Just give us a chance and we will talk your ear off. This tale will tell just what my most unusual find has been. We were...

    Lost, Found, Stolen , Pawned and Found again

    In 1990, my son turned the magic age of 12 years old. I say magic because he had been bugging me for a couple of years to let him learn how to dive. 12 years old is the youngest at which he can take a diving course. I had taken him to a few local lakes and gave him the basics, but I always told...

    I think this is a proud grandpa moment. I took the grandsons for a sleigh day this morning...

    We arrived at the lake and , being the chicken I am, I sat out the frolics and fun. However, the four boys set out to sledding with a will. The photos are only of the two younger ones. [attachment 44979 matthew-009.jpg] First, they have to make the actual path down which they are going to...

    Okay, it is cold, [and I do not like that at all], but even in this weather, you can find beauty..

    While I was driving to a tiling job I have been doing, I saw this tree that had been hit by silverfrost [sometimes called hoarfrost]. With the sun glinting through the branches, and catching the frost in such a way as to look like diamonds, I could not help but be struck by this. Wish that those...

    Well, since it too cold to do much of anything outside, I thought that I would work on this project.. :)

    A friend, whose parents and grandparents have lived in the valley since, well, forever, loaned me her photo albums. In going through them, I have found a LOT more places to go detecting next year...... Places that I did not even know existed. So I am taking photos of the photos. This is a very...

    How NOT to do an investigation

    It is funny how stories can be remembered. Last weekend, when Willy and Carol were up visiting, Willy was telling me about the great deal he got on ebay for some diving equipment. During that weekend, I had a buddy phone from Victoria who was looking for a BC and he asked if I knew where to get...

    Talk about dodging a bullet.. [figuratively speaking] :)

    Alice was having a little lay-down to rechrge herself and give the pin a rest. I was out in my shop doing some work for a neighbour. I heard a thump-thuom and looked out and saw one of the horses pawing at a water bucket. Since we are trying to train them to drink from the river, I loaded a...

    Okay... I had my fun with willys' picture... But in all honesty...

    We really did have a great time while he and carol were up here. It cannot be cheap to come up that distance and time-wise... and,well, it does take a pretty large chunk of time out of their life. They really are a class act.. we did not find very much. but the fun is more in the search than...

    The day was wonderful.. GREAT weather [no snow.... Bahahahaha :)]

    Not a lot to show for our efforts... But with scenery like this, it is pretty hard to complain. We are going to try Burton tomorrow. With any luck, we may have a few arrowheads to post Meanwhile, enjoy these. [attachment 37834 billcarolr-011.jpg] Looking south along the lake with the ugly...

    God looks out for Drunks, little children and dumb scuba divers :) Par III

    What could go wrong? Well, pretty much anything that could, go wrong, did go wrong. First, as Royal has explained, taking a tank off and moving it from one area to another is a pretty safe thing to do, if you keep the second stage [that is the part that goes in the mouth] firmly gripped in your...

    In the Port Hardy harbour, the seas were calm. There were no waves and only a very slight chop. Knowing that
