Who wears the pants?

These are the pants that I like to wear for work and farming.

And also for hunting and fishing....when I am allowed to go.

Mmmmmm..Fish!

Since I have included pictures of processing poultry and carving up cows I thought it would be prudent to include another facet of my carnivorous lifestyle. That my friends is forty two pounds of fabulous fresh fish fit for frying, flambe, fricassee, and flaunting in front of your fishing friends. I also had the luxury of spending several wonderful days with great friends on the sun soaked shores of Haida Gwaii.

Timber Frame

Missing in action since fall 2009....sorry (a Canadian thing)

I am having fun these days building a barn for myself. However, due to an extremely wet spring...summer...now approaching fall there may be no hay to put in the new barn. On the positive there will be little snow on the tractor seat this winter.

Where's The Beef?....Here It Is!

2009 Beef Production
Today I slaughtered two Dexter beef steers. It made me contemplate whether I am a "left side" of beef person or "right side" of beef person.
I think that cows have little affiliation with politics so the spectrum hardly matters.
And if you are thinking the thought might have something to due with brain hemisphere dominance I can assure you a cow has no such issue.

Haida Gwaii

I just returned from Haida Gwaii where a friend toured me to the west coast to see some not so visited poles. They were spectacular and are not long for this world. It was as if it was the last chance to see them before another era ends.

Other than that I behaved like a bear. I ate lots of salmon, slept, fished, and did little else. I could get use to that pace.

Buckethead

When it snows for the first time each winter I am compelled to build a snowman. Even if he ends up covered in leaves, grass, and yellow spots.

Building with a Mountain View

This summer I built a home with beautiful mountain views. From the site you can see the Babine, Telkwa, and Hazelton Mountain ranges and looming over the house is Hudson Bay Mountain.
On a daily basis it was hard to decide which view to take in while having my coffee or lunch.
