Hi gang! Well, there went the last long weekend of the summer....so sad! We had mediocre weather at the Pinery, with a litle sprinkle of rain, mostly ion the night, but it could have been a lot worse. Sitting around a campfire and playing cards is never time wasted. Dr G, I ran into the doxies at the survival camp, and yes, they DID survive. I gave them a bag of jujubes and some chips to bribe them into being friendly. They floated much better after eating all the candy [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Peter, glad to hear that you survived your weekend. However, I am not pleased that you gave the doxies candy. They are in training to be attack doxies, and raw meat (freshly killed, if possible) is the staple of their diet. Still, your heart was in the right place.
A beautiful day here in St.John's. Spent the day in the garden.

Minnes, this is the season when moose are killed on the highways of Newfoundland and Labrador. However, it it illegal to take a moose that was struck by a car, since it was not a legal kill by a hunter who is in posession of a valid license.

So what happens to the dead moose?
My friend hit a big deer near guelph a few years ago.
It really damaged his car and the deer will never be the same either.
The most you can do is make a hood ornament with the antlers.
Good morning all! Sorry about the jujubes Dr G., but the doxies REALLY liked them and it made me their friend instantly. However, I gave them only the red ones so as to look like bits of meat. I ate all the black ones
Peter, glad to hear that Rootie, Daisy, Jack and Abby took to you so well. I guess they have a sweet tooth..............to go along with their badger-destroying set of canine teeth. Such is Life.
I shall send you a couple of jpeg of what the pups looked like when they were cute...........and before their candy-induced trip of pleasure.

I started my long weekend late only on Sunday and continued through Tuesday.
I experienced a nostalgic trip to Halifax on Sunday/Monday as I got to move my eldest daughter from the South End to Clayton Park.
The nostalgia comes in as it reminded me of, back in the day, I worked for CN Express does any one remember the orange trucks with the white lazy 3 (CN logo looks like a 3 lying on its back). This time of year I moved many students to University and helped to ship their stuff back home in the spring.
With all of the post secondary schools in Halifax the workers used to refer to moving students personal effects as “Trunk Patrol”. Steamer Trunks were the favorite containers for shipping.
With all the private vehicles trucks, vans and u hauls in Halifax. (As my daughter repeated Yeah! Team Ontario.) It would appear that the common carriers (trucking companies) of today do not perform this service anymore.
I felt as if I was back on Trunk patrol. On Tuesday I “fell into highway service” and then fell back into trunk patrol “service” in Fredericton with the deliver of my sons personal effects.
Back in the day I remember the eagerness on the faces of the student, and it seems for this generation nothing has changed.
Where in the clubhouse will the first mixer be held?

BigDL, an interesting "trip". Thank you for sharing this with the rest of the group. This is what the Clubhouse is intended for, in terms of postings of thoughts and experiences that are outside of the "Everything else" realm.
Re the mixer, why not coordinate this and let us know when and where it is to be held. We are a democracy here in the Clubhouse. Paix.
