A photo I took at our location west of Bragg Creek, the small trees look really funny on the side of the hill, there is nothing growing between them.
The road from Nordegg to Red Deer, this is what I was talking about when I said "Merry Christmas" in the title of my last post.
Two fish that I caught the other day at Fish Lake just west of Nordegg, big one was 5.25lbs and the smaller one was 2.5lbs. They are both Rainbow Trout.
I finally pulled myself together enough to hack out another post, a pat on my back is in order. :) I am working 5 extra days this shift, all of them so far have been at the shop. I put a bed in the back of my van so that I don't have to pay for a place to stay or drive to Nordegg, so far it has saved me at least $90 in gas or rent money t0 stay in my van. As it is raining like crazy here I didn't take any photo's of my modifications, as soon as if clears up I'll throw a few photo's of it on here. I used a old foam mattress that Mom and Dad had and cut it in half, I then cut one shorter then the other to make up for how much the middle seat sticks up and then placed the remaining parts of the mattress on top of this, suffice to say it is very comfortable and I have several blankets on it so it is also very warm in there. We are currently having a rain storm of sorts and it even snowed here today, pretty impressive for May 3rd. I also bought a pellet gun this shift, something to get rid of the boredom of sitting around all the time. I also don't have a photo of it on my camera yet, keep posted for one though. It is a Crosman 2240 .22Cal pellet gun, quite accurate, I can destroy a pop can with it very well. :). It does take CO2 bulbs to power it, which is the only thing I dislike about it, it only gets 30-40 shots from a bulb. I may buy the carbine version of it one day, as it is the same caliber and all, but you pump it instead of using CO2. Anyway that's about all I got for now, I will write something on here again just as soon as I get some more photos. Ride safe and have fun.
