Well, it’s been a hiatus. If you’re still checking the blog, I appreciate your perseverance very much! Camping on the Kootenay Plains in January. Stunning weather for this time of year.

This guy managed to fend off all other competitive males for the throne that is my backyard this morning.
The Ultimate Food Dehydrator.
•March 6, 2011 • Leave a CommentOver on the right, under the “Helping” header, you can find the lastest link to a fairly serious food dehydrator I’ve made for my sister. It’s no work of art, but hopefully we can fill it many times over with mushrooms this year! Click this link to have a look.

St. Leon’s Hot Springs – The Darker Side.
•January 28, 2011 • 1 CommentTwo men beaten the night after S. and I visited St. Leon’s hot springs. I’m embarrassed to even be from the same country as people who do this sort of thing.

I know it’s shameful to covet material things. But damn, sometimes it’s so hard not to do. And no, we didn’t catch any fish.
Dental Hygiene.
•January 14, 2011 • Leave a CommentOk, I don’t rant that often – probably too often for most of you. However, it’s January and we’ve all got resolutions to fulfill. If your resolute aims have something to do with dental hygiene (and all of you should have something in this vein!) and you’re uninsured and without dental plan coverage, check this out. The University of Alberta Dental Hygiene Clinic can help you out. The work is done by students, but the final product is no less than professional and the bill is 70% of what you’re currently paying at the regular dentist. That’s one heck of a good deal if you’re on a tight budget. Initially there’s a consultation and full mouth probe. At the second visit, the actual hygienic work. So there are some downsides – like heading to Edmonton twice, but that affords more trips to the Italian Store, among other places! In total, my bill came to $40, parking was $24 and gas $30. It’s worth checking out at your local dentistry school!
