I'm just getting things packed up here to head out of town up to the cottage (us Northern Ontarians actually call it a camp) for a week. Its up in my home town of Thunder Bay, Ontario - a couple hours north of Duluth, MN.

Plan on bringing my canoe out, maybe do a bit of fishing, burn down the big ole brush pile, etc. Our dog (yellow lab) loves it out there and will be swimming all day. I've been looking forward to this for a while now. I've been pretty busy lately writing my thesis so this will be a nice change. I do have to bring a laptop with me and get a bit done - thesis draft due Aug 1 :)

Anyone else have summer vacation plans?

I will be heading to northern MN at the beginning of September for some canoeing and camping for a week. This will be my first trip up there. Some of the people I am going with make the trip a couple times every year. It should be a great get away.

hmmm. Nothing real notable as our weekend get-away serves as a periodic respite from the city summer heat.

Well I had to cancel my planned trip up north due to a broken heel. Maybe next year.
I guess this will give me time to post some scans. Not much info will be provided along with them due to the difficulty of me getting around.
A silver lining I guess.

Darn, Sorry to hear about that, Mike. I hope it gets better soon. Sounds like you might have fell off of something rather high?

It was only a 3 - 4 ft drop. My doctor says it was a very unusual break from that height. I must have landed just right to fracture it.

To paraphrase a famous author:

The mind is it's own place
And in itself can make a Heaven of Hell,
A Hell of Heaven.

Great work with the RF, mike! Applause

Sometimes when life serves you a lemon, you gotta try to turn it into lemonade.

I will refrain from posting the pictures of the outside.

As weird as it may sound, that is kind of cool looking.
So are you going to go all Steve Austin on us and begin fighting crime? Wink

On a more serious note, hope you are up an about soon.

Cheers,
Curt

No crime fighting for at least another month Laughing .

Yea the beeping is going to be a problem. Hopefully I can get a card or something for it, otherwise I need to plan more time to get into work.

Ouch. I forgot about that. I think you have to metal detector every day, no? The good news is, Big Blue have next season to look forward to. Wink

That is a high tech heel! I don't have anything so fancy (aside from scares and disfigurements) from my feats of glory. I am metal free having been through a broken femur, broken collar bone, dislocated patella and trauma to my fourth cranial nerve.

Yep, several times a day.

Michigan was supposed to suck this year, and they are living up to it so far. It was great watching Charlie get taken out though. Twisted Evil
