Journals/Diaries ... February-March

- Alanis Morissette, you little sweetie ...you have been promoted to "GREAT" at Thompson Lake ( after hearing that operatic -like song that tested your register !!)  Anybody know the name ?

- spring, where are you?

- excitement for today ... a mouthful of gas ... never again, how come Jared did it a couple of hundred times without any ill effects?

- patiently (kinda) awaiting plane.

- Debbie and the girls are going to try Crystal Voice today for chatting ... yeah!

- have to change web hosting sites for Thompson Lake Lodge ... this site is totally out of control re; pop-ups.

- well, it appears I made it through the winter... I shiver every time I think of last Xmas/New Years.

- the trees I cut behind me were approx. 40 years old and rotting down the centre ... nothing lives long in the North.

- a HELPFUL HINT from Alena: if your wood/hand saw is binding/jamming ... use soap or candle wax.

- Jen you little slut... you broke his artistic heart.

- I’m so far behind ... I get into a 1990 vehicle and believe it’s new !
- thank you Sipowitz and all ... for the many , many years of entertainment ( Jared and I started watching NYPD on the C-band.)
- 0C --I do believe I’ll go dive for pearls.

- how do I shrink cotton ?

- yes, Thompson Lake has certainly been a training ground for bush pilots re; topography – right Rob, Dave, Johnny, etc. ?

- from an amateur radio friend:
Q: How the hell do you land on your lake ... there are super hills from every direction.
A: Very, very carefully !!

- hello George – good buddy ( Mar.19) ... it sure was good to have company for an hour or two.
- hey pilots ... put that load up your log-book !
- George said there was a moose in behind me; yes I know her, she should have a calf with her... but we all know what happened to the calf, don’t we? You BASTARDS ... I’m now counting the months till next trapping season.
- tactical holsters are not great for the bush.

- for the would - be woodsman: you can tell a half dry tree (pine/spruce) – the bottom/top will have no green growth.

- well, what should we talk about now?

---

- Mazolla oil works great on leather – thank you !!

---

- hey that was hilarious ... exactly two years ago I received that coffee pot for Xmas and this Dec. 25 my old coffee pot sprang a leak.

---

- second time that chopper has flown over me with that giant transducer dangling from it ... yes, of course they are scanning me !

- wow ! What a difference in seasons ... between power from the wind and the sun I am not running my gas power plant.

- Jared continues to do well in town... well, except for the super stress.

- you all like my trick photography? Yeah - like I really planned it!
- look good people, I am rambling about nothing , so I will sign off now...

Wishing you all a great spring and I’ll see you at break-up.

Your buddy... Mike@Thompson Lake  March 22, 2005.

If Mike gets REALLY hungry...there's "Miles"!

I caught "Miles" trying to steal the snow machine!
