It got up to plus three today. I've been torturing myself with online shopping-catalog shopping from my two favorite places to shop: the fishin' hole and Canadian tire.
we're going to yellowknife tomorrow and I will be going to the crappy tire store there.
I'm not sure if it's just me, or maybe it's this way with all canadian men, but, I LOVE THAT SMELL!! , and they all smell the same. I remember going there with my mom and dad when me and my brother Mike were kids. looking at all that camping gear and new bikes, man that was the best.
But I digress, the reason for all the shopping of course is the impending summer. I like to be sitting ready, fishing rod in hand, tackle box stocked anew, waiting for the ice to crack.
This year, I will be chartering a floatplane and flying out on to the Horn plateau for some fishing.
Steven of the burnt leg will accompany me. we'll take my boat and take the willow river back down off the horn plateau. Hopefully there are no major falls or anything.

And who will pack the sunscreen? Sounds like a fun trip (if you like fishing - yuck!) I agree - all Canadian Tire stores do smell the same - its one of Gary's favorite stores too.
