Hey folks, just stopped by as I do from time to time and I saw this sad news about Pete. He was always very nice to me and I appreciated his honesty, sad news. Hope everyone else is well and having some fun adventures.

Be a dentist....

Well, that depends.... On one side of the family you would never..........wait..... Now I am having flash backs of unpleasant visions from both side of the family......DAMN IT, thanks for bring back some dreadful sights from my childhood.... .....so ya, I guess it is a Canadian thing, but not all of us participate....I am keeping my socks on for sure....

Happy New Year everyone. I hope 2023 is a good year for you, well balanced with a healthy amount of smiles and adventures.

....well ....actually, I can think of a few worse places to be than a cottage with a fellow maritimer..... I know, I know, it's a hard thing to understand....

Hey, remember we talked about this, play nice

In the middle of a Province that spoke a different language, Quebec. It was different, I did ok with the language, but accidentally ordered too many apple pies.... Not the worst thing that could have happen....

I did make it through and so glad to get out of Quebec, didn't like it very much at all..... But on the other hand, I have only been in New Brunswick a few hours and I love it. I have heard music a few times already, met some nice people, seen some lovely scenery, enjoyed the highways.....love it here!

Some really lovely photos and those look like fun roads.

There is a lot to it, I guess I just get tired of people using the word which was based on a misconception to start, it seems like a lack of education. It's also a ridiculous generalization. I have lived closely with the indigenous of the Sunshine Coast and have come to respect them and other indigenous groups for their individual traits, so perhaps I took it differently than most would. I guess I just wasn't in the mood to keep my opinions to myself the day I saw the thread. I should know better and just let people do what they want, I'm sorry I said anything.

We got slowed down again by some snow but we are heading to Sudbury today. Then one more day and we are in Quebec. . Excited as I have never been, but nervous about my French speaking. I’ll just smile lots, seems to work…..

Meanwhile in Canada, this is how our moose deal with people who get in their way….

Although I see the humour in this it is offensive. Perhaps in Canada it is more so, not sure how strong the native culture is in other places, but here I respect them enough not to call them Indians at least. Canada would be American if not for our natives kicking their butt all those years ago. Anyways, just felt the need to express my thoughts on that, carry on.

Looks like what I was driving through today.....

The van is front wheel drive, thank goodness. She’s like a cat clawing her way through snow. We are ready for a rescue if needed, but I’m hoping it doesn’t come to that.

My partner drives the van and I am in the 4Runner. My skills are not up for the van in this weather, I need my 4x4.

Yes and we did think about it, but the propane was empty…

In Ontario around Wawa. Going around the Great Lakes right now. It’s going to snow too, will be an interesting day of driving.

I hope everyone had a lovely holiday. We waited out the storm and got back on the road yesterday. The roads are slowly clearly up and we could see rain by the end of the week! I'll take that over -30c . The rain sure would help clean our oh so dirty vehicles.... Tonight we are in a small town in Ontario near the Great Lake Superior. A quiet place with friendly people, but I don't think anyone is making hamburgers tonight... ohhhh, and I got a new hat! It rocks in the cold!

It's all good, I still voted for you! lol

Either you and Pedro need to lay off the sauce or perhaps you are both dyslexic......lol, it's all good, you are amongst friends....

I as well have family in Sault Ste. Marie.

We were, then as expected we have been slowed down by the Great Lakes. Thunder Bay is getting a snow storm over the next few days so we are staying put in good old Dryden, Ontario for a couple of days. Every time I cross Canada Ontario swallows me up for days and days.....lol, most Provinces are done in a day, not Ontario....but strangely it is fun being back in my birth province. Very familiar.
