Grasshopper

Great looking dogs, they look very happy.

I do work for a few that have money than brains....works good for me.......

Good memory... Yes, a Keeper of the Books by day and an international spy agent by night......

.

Way to lighten the mood.....

Perhaps? $250 CAD But it was a gift from one of my clients, so I don't mind.

Ohhh, look at that smile I have the same thoughts now........NEVER again, can't do it........ But, I have a feeling that will pass and I will have another dog someday.....they are just so awesome!

Speaking of Kettles.....I just spoiled myself and got the Kelly Kettle Scout Ultimate Kit It's a stick stove and boils water super fast...... ...and it has a whistle! This is not a bike camping kit, but still very nice!!!

I keep having "dog moments", feel like I have forgotten something, or should check on her and say hi..... Last night I thought I heard her drinking water in the kitchen, so weird. The house sure does take on a different feeling. I love my GoPros and making videos. I find it fun for myself, too look back at my adventures.

So nice to know I am not the only one, everyone is always going on about their mummy bags..... I do not like them at all, so uncomfortable....... freak me out too.....

No, unfortunately.....the temps went up just above freezing last night and turned all the snow into slush and muck........just a mess out there and my tires on the Himalayan are too old for any traction that would help.....

......lol, so true

The roads look nice and dry! What is the building in the first pic?

To be fair, I am a rural Canadian...... . It's just how us simple folk roll......

If I stayed in a place like that I would still sleep in my sleeping bag, maybe even on the floor...... Hotel beds scare the heck out of me and beds are too soft.... It would also be too hot and stuffy in there..... Give me a tent any day.....

Thanks, ohhhhhh, Grasshopper Flies, now that you mention that, I might just need a new name for my new adventures......

I also find myself in a similar position now, without a dog the world has opened up and it's a bit freaky.... Travelling is the plan.... Someone already mentioned the heavy weight low and the light high, but also remember to think about what you pack on the exhaust side. I saw someone once pack their camp stove and fuel too close and well, you can imagine. Excited for you and your new adventures.

Well, managed to get the driveway cleared yesterday and got out for some food and beverages. The snow is sticking around, which is weird, and now they are calling for more today..... By the end of the winter I will have super big shovelling muscles.....

No, you didn't........ohhhhhhh NICE!!!!

His unstableness is slowing itself again isn't it......

Started the New Year off right with a lovely long hike and found where the elk had been sleeping. I had forgotten how hiking without an old dog can be, I can go so much faster and further. I can track the animals in silence.....cool ...and not worry about the dog eating poop.....lol Funny enough, I went looking for the Elk, found where they had slept, but didn't bump into them until I was almost home, right in my yard.....lol

Beautiful day for a ride, wow... Love some of your photos, the angle of the sunlight is golden!

That's it, I'm out of here.....
