i call it Pink Death. i shouldn't have it at all (sugar) but it's pretty yummy. The Growers Cider company started out just making sparkling apple ciders (my dad called it "poor man's champagne" lol) but now they have all these flavoured ones

This is a beloved Canadian Christmas Eve tradition, but i feel compelled to point out that the CBC used a photo of the wrong plane. The plane in the story is a DeHavilland DH-100 Vampire

That's an easy one. Deciding to keep this deformed trout & have it for dinner, just because it looked weird. Almost cut my finger off, spent several hours in the ER, got 7 gnarly stitches, missed >1 month of prime salmon season. At least the trout was good when i finally got around to eating it

The passes are pretty snowy. I don't feel too inclined for any scenic drives, though

oop, looks like it's switched back to rain here already

back in 2004 i think, my ex & i went up there & he bought me a baby monkey puzzle tree for my birthday. i keep thinking i should drive past his house to see how big it's gotten, one of these days. it must be pretty tall by now if it's still alive

LOL! real flyboxes tend to be way more expensive (& i'm a cheapskate) so i've been using pillboxes for flies for years. Even chew-tobacco tubs (generously donated by some commercial fishermen whose boat i observed on) & Altoid tins. i've lucked into a few good ones in thrift shops or as gifts

me & aunty on the shorter horse, "Misty" when i was 6 or so. i think i was about 15 when she got the big guy, which would've made Misty at least 18 by then, i think. she eventually turned completely white.

while we're on the subject of French names for things, i just learned last week that "Beurk" is a French name for "yuck" & it made me giggle. Very onomatopoeic

it's pretty funny. Lawns are bullshit anyway (i'm trying to get rid of mine & bought a scythe in the meantime because i hate adding to all the yard-equipment noise). But you can't escape from the need to vacuum your home

i had a face to face encounter with a pine marten earlier this fall. Magical! Wasn't quick enough (& didn't want to move) to get a photo, but we both stood there for what seemed like a long time just staring at each other before it ran off. The orange chest IS orange!

this lovely lady was enjoying that yard this summer before it got dug up
