A Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT

Good guess, but once again no. It was the Canon EOS 5DS. You only had a 1/56 chance!

I have crampons I can loan you...

I've got some crampons if I can find them.

Rei boxes ?

Rei boxes ?

No, I think it is still in its original box tucked away in one of my canoes.

Makes perfect sense, crampons in a canoe

I hate to ask but … “one of my canoes”? And how many canoes do you have ?

You, more than most, know how the Scatmind works.

2 Canoes, both are Wenonahs, one a Spirit II, and the other a Minnesota II.

Do you keep those in the basement too? In case it floods?

Well … we do store our two canoes in our basement during the winter months. sub freezing temps that we experience in winter aren’t friendly to their Kevlar hulls. And we do live on a hill so no worries about floods!

Now you bring rationality into the discussion, come on, canoes in basements with crampons.

Now you bring rationality into the discussion, come on, canoes in basements with crampons.

And in SLC which is a desert.

Why as a matter of fact, I do.

A little over four weeks ago, we had a pipe in our ceiling downstairs start leaking while we were asleep. It flooded four rooms downstairs and ruined the drywall and the ceilings. I'm still waiting for the contractor to come and repair what they tore out. Also, I had the entire house re-piped. What a mess, especially on two crutches! Good thing I had those canoes handy.

It's the only way to store them you know.

There is the Great Salt Lake.

Not sure. It's been over a year since I was last out at Antelope Island.

Happy Turkey Day all fellow BCPers! I hope that all of you are either stuffing your faces, or out hiking/backpacking.

Normally, I am hiking up Ensign Peak on Thanksgiving morning, but not this year. So instead, it was time to clean out the gutters and hang X-Moose lights before the snow flies, which isn't an easy thing to do on one knee. But at least I got to ditch my crutches this week!

Notice that I am favoring my right leg.


And down to the dirty work.

All right. . . am I the only one who is seeing a Minion. . .




For the record, I think the Minions are hilarious. I may or may not be one of the oldest people watching the movies in the theater (without kids).

Happy Thanksgiving. I have decided to expand my POV a little this year so I got some Fancy Feast and I’m sharing that with a neighbor. He/she is very appreciative and we will both go take a nap when dinner is over.
