Almost that time again

Well, I forgot we had a site...  hmmm.  Actually, what happened to the summer?  It has been a busy, hectic, stressful, uncertain time that we are enjoying!  I have been enthralled by the whole credit crisis and subsequent market meltdown.  I'm obviously 'pot committed', so now the challenge is to gain from the volatile times ahead.



A brief recap of the summer:  following lobster fishing in the spring, we spent 2 months at Southport RV Park in PEI, across the bridge from Charlottetown.  In our opinion, it's the supreme location on the Island.  A bit pricey minus a long term rate.  There is also talk of the park being developed - errrr- turned into condos.  It's happening everywhere!  Apparently half the park is being sold off next year with the future looking dismal for RVing that close to the (mini) city...



Check it out, it's the best spot to catch the firework display on Canada Day.  They usually put on a good show with the Festival of Lights.  We could hear the bands (the Hip, OLP) playing across the water!  PEI actually gets some decent acts.  I'm surprised - since last year Nickelback got cussed out by the local media for dropping the f-bomb.  Come on people, relax a little!  PEI is verrry conservative.





One other note, Charlie had an accident while we were staying at Southport.  He managed to make an escape, clean out the door, apparently his flight feathers had grown enough from his last clipping.  He went soaring towards the sun, and the crows too.  We ran out after him, across the park, it was a matter of less than 2 minutes ---  When we reached him, he was clinging to a wire fence, his head bloody, it looked horrible, we thought he was a goner!  Seriously, it looked as though he was scalped... not sure what happened, if he was attacked by bird -or- animal -or- mangled himself on the fence.  It wasn't pretty, Cat rushed him to the vet, luckily there was a veterinary office directly across the street.  Fortunately Charlie is a fighter, he was back to himself a couple days later, and his feathers have fully grown back except a small bald spot behind his crest.



So yo ho we were off, escaping Cat's favourite Island... and place in general.    We left the end of August, right before Labour day, so that sorta limited our options.  We wanted to stop in Montreal for a couple days but it was impossible to find a spot for the long weekend.  So we kept on trucking straight to Orillia and Hammock Harbour.  Arrived at 3am, woke Cat's parents to a surprise greeting, and crashed outside the gate for the night.  Luckily the previous campers vacated our favourite spot that morning, a day early.

The theory of relativity has been working overdrive the last month.  The time vanished, we have been throwing plans and ideas out the window and off the walls.  It always helps when you condense a year's worth of appointments into a month!  Cat has jumped into a new business project as well... she's off on super research mode.

Back to the plans, they are constantly changing, figure we'll do something different next year, after the truck lease is up (finally).  We never know that far ahead, but settling down in a house is not one of the options.  We may conduct a social experiment, depending on what opportunities present themselves.  As a good read, I recommend the Four Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss, it touches upon what we are trying to enjoy (maybe even accomplish) in this lifestyle.

Now, I just need to develop the discipline in posting and updates, the same that is soo necessary in the market.  Here's to getting our shit together!

And another marker the seaons have changed drastically...  we observed our first snow of the year.  Yikes!  You know what that means.  Cat said it's time to get outta here.
