Hi all. It’s been a while since I’ve updated this blog. I’ve been busy working for Sue, my wife, she’s a big Michael Jackson fan so I have been hanging around Ebay trying to find a couple of his books at a reasonable price. I can find the books, the reasonable price part is harder to come by. I did manage to pick up ‘Dancing the Dream’ and I’m now looking for ‘Moon Walk’, his biography. There seems to be hundreds out there but there must be thousands of people bidding. You certainly wouldn’t think the economy was bad by the amount of $$ going out for these books!
I’ve also been getting ready for my trip. For those people new to this blog I’m going on a kayaking trip in British Columbia in a few weeks. When I made the original reservations in early April it was so far off in the future I was excited about the trip but now I’M EXCITED ABOUT THE TRIP!!!
Believe it or not I actually got out the manual for my camera and I am studying it! Hard to believe a guy would do such a thing isn’t it. I knew most of the stuff already but a friendly reminder cannot hurt. I also picked up a 100% waterproof camera case for my expensive point and shoot camera. A $60 investment to save a camera sounds like a good way to spend money. It’s supposed to go down to a 30’ depth. I don’t plan on testing out those specifications; the water is cold up there, about 50 or so! My hope it to keep the camera close so when I see something it is ready to go. I loaded up on memory cards and batteries for my camera so I should be ready. I picked up the case from Amazon but you can go to the manufacturer’s website by going to http://www.dicapac.com I hope to have a lot of photos for you to see.
I’ve also received an email from the woman that owns the shop that’s adopting out my bears. You can see some of them at ToonaRoona This may become a good news/bad news thing. It’s good that I adopt out some bears but now I get to make some bears to replace them. I’m hoping to get some great photos of other animals on my trip to use as models for needle felting.
Thanks for stopping by.

hmmm. after experiencing really rough water in Ontario last week, I certainly hope you have better weather for your trip in that little boat! I can't wait to hear how much you enjoy it (or not!). Sounds like the adventure of a lifetime. So you are selling bears, I am so glad! even if it does mean more WORK.... :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great vacation!!
ReplyDeleteThe unfortunate thing about turning a hobby into a business is that it's not a hobby anymore. But, I'm still glad you're selling bears.
