Well, off to shopping.  So we went on a Friday, which changed the rhythm of the whole thing.

Where we stopped by the falls

Where we stopped by the falls

Isabelle has been painting cows, and looking for cows to paint and drawing cows and going to cow places.

Isabelle went to a small town fair this weekend, and also went to a workshop on 8mm film making.  Then she and Maddie did some art thing in the backyard.  I stayed inside as it was a thousand degrees.  

There was some really good stuff, some of it about the election campaign, that we recorded but Bossjock lost, so, if you want politics, go to What's Left.....

On Sunday we went and got an ice cream and then went for a bit of a hike at a local conservation area.  We talked about invasive species and about how I am an oppressor...

Isabelle has been working out a lot lately, and it is making her feel a lot more, well, healthy.  This led us into a discussion of working out and competition in general.  Isabelle is not much on that.  Then again, I played Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag for four hours yesterday to get 30 gamer points, which are, a completely useless thing.

This will be the last time I yell 'QRM!' on the show, promise.

Enjoy.

Episode 72 - Recording Through My Shorts

Lake Superior and all of the Inferior Lakes

Lake Superior and all of the Inferior Lakes

We had a bit of time on Friday afternoon so we went for a little drive and talked about Icelandic names.  They list their phonebook by first names there.  They are insane.  We then went to a pawn shop.  I've never been to a pawn shop, so, well, that was fun.

Then it was Saturday and off to groceries, but, no gin and pernod!  Yeah, we went shopping early as Isabelle is off on an artspedition this afternoon.  She's going up north of where we typically camp in Lake Superior Provincial Park.  

Oh hey, Isabelle has an Etsy shop, you should buy stuff from there.  (The words 'Etsy shop' are linked there, oh and there too).

What is a lake?  What makes a lake a lake?  I figure it is arbitrary.



Episode 70 - Fake Bikers

Today is the 11th anniversary of us arriving back in Sault Ste. Marie from Newfoundland.  So, we celebrated by podcasting!  Actually, umm, well it is Saturday and we had to get groceries.

We just had a really fun camping trip up at Agawa Bay in Lake Superior Provincial Park.  We were up there for four days and Jon had trouble finding wifi.  

There has been a lot of talk in town about the Algoma Central Railway, specifically the passenger service between Sault Ste. Marie and Hearst, ON.  The train has been shut down for now, which is rough on some people.  

While up at Agawa we ran into some faux bikers.  I, for some reason, found them really annoying.....
