I've ignored this space for too long...
This posting is a homage to something that had been part of my life since April 29th 1993...
I tried to start the year off right. A few ice fishing excursions... Not much luck, but a few good sized perch for the pan.
But, May turned out to be a good, and exciting month! But there was one day that emotion might just have got the better of me...
May is a big month for those that enjoy the outdoors. In this part of the world it means opening the cottage, re-awakening the garden, all those plants to "plant," first mowing of the lawn, and, for many, the beginning of summer... Although, the calender tells us that doesn't happen until the end of June!
This May really was spectacular though. I can't remember a May "two-four" weekend that was as perfect as this past one! No rain, few bugs, AND, it was warm enough to swim; for those that choose to of course, as I however will not swim in these leech and snake infested waters! I want it "80" and salty! Give me sharks, NOT blood suckers!
But May, for the Ontario sporting type is REALLY awesome!
Walleye (pickerel to some) season opens... And all month long, if you're so inclined (and have the appropriate permits,) the wild turkey is fair game!
But at the end of the month the Jeep left...
After 23 years it finally went. I'll no longer drive it. It will no longer take me places far and beyond. And far it took me, and beyond it went...
