    bonjour !!!
     
    went to my camp yesterday morning to cut the grass.....a bout 3 miles before , a little bridge.....i noticed the water was brown...so , i thought someone worked during the night...then , i noticed a castor...about 40' away...started to take pics...then , after a few mins ....i realized that he never clapped his tail on the water...
    kept taking pics and looking at him riding....something was wrong ....he was riding in a little circle ..just like a needle on a clock and going under water for a few seconds...looks like he was stuck ...
    spent almost half an hr there....then he tried to .'' escape '' and i saw that he had something on his tail.....a trap ...
    someone forgot his trap there i guess....late afternoon ,when i passed there....it was 29c....he was in the sunshine ...no shade at all...jumping in the water time to time...
     
    well ,cutting my grass was nt a success....after 10 mins...blew an axle and a flat tire...ahaha...
    took a short 4w ride....harvesting trees everywhere....they still have another year to cut on the z e c ...talked with a guy doing his maintenance on his machine

    Damn, it’s that Putin price hike. For sure.
    Agree on the seeing places with no snow by road. Love spotting trailheads and checking out everywhere whenever I can. The Spyder trips have been awesome for this. 
    I like knowing where I am each time I cross a road no matter where it is. Can be very helpful maybe even lifesaving some day.

    Just sitting here watching the price of fuel go through the roof. Anyone want to take a guess at what we will have to pay per litre at the remote outfitters this coming season! I predict $4.00 per litre.
    On another note Lisa and I did a driving trip in Quebec last week and stayed at the Delta in Jonquiere one night I have to say the new Boston Pizza is a very nice addition and has an excellent atmosphere. After we drove around the Lake we stayed at the Coronet for a night sure looks different when you drive in rather than arrive on your sled! We then headed east to Havre St Pierre and of course we had to travel through the Pessamit native territory the group responsible for closing the TQ3 last season! On the return trip we had to back track all the way to St Simeon because the ferry was canceled at both Godbout and Baie Comeau and as we neared the Pessamit territory there was a guy hitchhiking with a sign that said Pessamit I did not give him a ride!

    bonjour a tous !!!
    some could qualify for '' just for laughs '' here !!!
     
    sorry for the long wait ...
    well , i wanted to take a break.....i got bored in april driving always the same roads to take pics....
    then , i realized that i could  nt leave home with my 4w to go riding on the z e c ...there was 2 entrances for my street , one has been closed....the one closed was the one i was using to go in the woods
    complaint from a person in town ....or bs between 2.....
    so, now i must carry my 4w with my truck for 2 miles in town ....then go riding...i did it so many times for the dealership ...sick and tired to load and unload..i rode 3 rides...about 225 miles ...so, not much pics
    took my last ride 3 or 4 weeks ago ....no camp yet ....my pics average is on the way down....
    saw friends last night and they told me that its time to cut the grass....
    then , my boss surprised me....im doing '' commercial thinning '' with chainsaw...never expected that ....tough for my back ....tbk !!!....still not 100% shape...ahaha
    ....and so-so weather....
    friend of mine works on park matane....still some spots of snow...as of last week...
    yesterday was '' la st jean baptiste ''...so, inauguration of the new bridge in town......took a few pics
    beside that , very quiet 
    everything liquid is more expensive now.......gas , beer and wine ...
    gas went up to 2 24... 2 weeks ago....friend of mine works for h-q ....he went to manic  5 dam about 1 month ago.....2 45 l
    so , thats  about it !!!
