So I'm unemployed again.  Got laid off because of a bunch of stuff at the mine.  NOT about me though, just stuff I don't feel comfortable talking about until the Company puts out their own public statement.  But regardless, I had a great experience at the mine and learned so much, especially these last 4 months working in the exploration division ( Read more... )

Went camping at SNAFU Lake this weekend, and despite the lack of sleep due to freezing cold nights and way too much smoke in our eyes, we had a great time.  I haven't been camping in years!  We went on a hike yesterday and found a winter trapping line and an old camp site, complete with rusted metal fuel tank and cans ( Read more... )

Went to a Halloween party on Saturday night with D's hockey team, and oh cripes I was pretty gone.  Had less than 4 beers, but I was addicted to the jello brains, and I suspect there was a lot of alcohol in it.  Could've also been the shots one of the big guys kept handing around ( Read more... )

Today was a much, much better day.  Right after writing that post yesterday, D convinced me to come over, despite my threats to cry on him.  Good man, D.  Anyways, he put on one of my favourite shows (Top Gear UK) and cuddled with me for a while before going to bed.  Cuddled some more this morning.  Put on a movie I wanted to see (The Hulk) and ( Read more... )

I'm off on an adventure tomorrow!

A good friend of mine's Mom is up in Faro, visiting her sister, and unfortunately, her sis can't get time off to do the 4+ hour drive (one way) to get her back to Whitehorse to fly back to Ontario on Friday.  My buddy contacted me and asked if I'd be willing to play chauffeur for her Mom and drive up to Faro to pick ( Read more... )

Uh, so we sort of yarn bombed an airplane today!  Check out @yarnbombyukon on twitter for pictures and progress posts!  It was so much fun, and the cumulation of 6 months work by the organizers!

I've managed to pick up a new hobby.  I've been putting it off for years, mostly because I so don't need another hobby.  But between a few projects friends have been making, and a gorgeous sweater on ravelry, I've gotten sucked into the world of knitting.

D keeps calling me a granny.  I keep hitting D.  Someday I will train him out of it.

I signed ( Read more... )

That was a pretty good weekend, despite all sorts of plan changing.

D and I were supposed to go to his best friend's place to camp overnight before the 4 of us (best friend and his wife) floated down the Yukon River from his place back into Whitehorse, fishing, sight-seeing, and camping along the way.

Then D's friend and his wife waffled on and ( Read more... )

Ah man, I had a great day yesterday.

Rode into city centre to do some running around, and stopped at a little 50's diner for lunch. Mmm poutine (with real cheese curds too) and chocolate milkshake.  So good, and so damn filling, I could only eat half of the poutine.  I'm definitely going back there, and probably dragging someone in with me to share ( Read more... )

Going on an in-town adventure!  Local museums and coffeeshops, here I come!

Let's just hope I don't ride off the curb again.  Heh.
