Ok, here are some of the better pics. As you can see they're in reverse order and I am too lazy to organize them. The last one I think is his nose or paw, you can see one which looks like he's biting it, then another is a glimpse of his paw once again. You can see where he shifted the camera, I forgot to move it to another tree, maybe a little closer. I will do that probably on thursday or friday when I drop some more food. I need a big barrell, the garbage can took a shit kickin!

It took two trips, but we found a waterfall. The first trip was in the rain and I almost broke my wrist. After driving around all day we still hadnt found one. This time (28th July) we went to a different area. Spent the afternoon swimming here.... cold water, but completely secluded.

Pictures of my new rod ;)

I was trying to get some pictures of another woman holding Rob's rod for you Tina, but those shots may have to wait a little longer.

The one on the left is the 6wt 8'6, then the new 4wt 9', and the other is the 3wt 7'

This is my grandfathers bamboo rod, which I want to refinish. It also has the reel that I found for it at a flea market (with a bit of elbow grease to clean it up) If anyone knows where to get fine silk thread, or what kind of varnish to use please let me know.

So I finally have the bike running again.... hopefully without spitting oil onto the back tire this time. The whole engine rebuild last year....well it was all caused by a bolt on the sarter motor being too long. The bolt had snapped a couple years ago, and I finally replaced it with a new one. It was only a couple mm too long, but that was enough. It was pushing down on the final air baffle before the crankcase vent tube. The ping that I heard, that I assumed was a piston ring, was in fact the bolt punching through the air baffle. It must have finally heated up enough to soften the metal.

I drained the battery this weekend trying to start it. The engine kept flooding, like it wasnt sparking properly. Turns out I was right. The fuel sensor wires were corroded. I shorted that sensor and the bike finaly started. It ran really rough at first, backfiring, and not having full power. The spark plug boots were not pushed down on two of the cylinders....Duh

Runs fine now, except for the fuel leak from the pet cock valve. The new one arrives tomorrow morning........

The yak does much better in the river, thats what its made for. This was the end of the trip for the photographer, but I ran down it. Its about a 5 foot vertical drop over three ledges. Looked bad coming up to it, the river just dissapeared over the ledge, but wasnt too bad. I cant wait to do a bigger one.



Getting ready to go.



This is just over the first ledge, the tail of the boat is just going over the ledge.


Over the second ledge, approaching the third ledge.

Day out kayaking on the ocean just outside Lunenburg... The photographer shall remain nameless at this point :)

The kayak is definetly not an ocean boat. It did well enough, but it doesnt cut through the water or glide very well. Or I could be fat :)

This is the new kayak, set up for fishing.
