What's happening this summer? Where is everyone? Where are you going?
Myself and Sarah are on Vacation from July 1st to July 15th. We will be driving down to Niagara Falls on July 5th, staying a few days and driving back to Toronto on July 7th (I think) for a night or two. Sarah NEEDS to see the Zoo! Then from there we are going somewhere we don't know where yet or just back home because animals are tiring (zoo not Sarah).
Len and Todd are headed to Algonquin Park for 7 days of canoeing. I think they are leaving on, not sure when, actually it might be this Friday or Saturday, till July 2nd.
Then the first two weeks of August Sarah is off to the Rock for 2 weeks.
I am looking to go Camping/Kayaking (touring, not whitewater) a couple of times this summer. Any one want to go? Any one know any good places? Thinking of doing Tobermory or west side of Georgian bay. Who knows. Anyone have a Touring kayak for sale that can hold camping equipment for 3 to 5 days?
Cathy, when are you guys headed up next?

All the other new stuff that is not important
Let's see...
Dad found a flower or two. Yes, apparently it is the very rare and unknown Cypripedium acaule (Pink Lady's-Slipper). So we all thought this was terrible exciting. Well, all the flora and fauna people thought so. So, I said "OK, let me look this up". Unfortunately, I came up with a bunch of sites (click on title) that say it is in 10 Provinces and 1 Territory (I don't remember how many we have in Canada).
This weekend there was a "Sarah Bird House" assembly going on at 60 Johnson Rd. Take a look at the June Photos to see who did what.
Oh yes, the biggest news is the Septic Tank at 60 Johnson Rd was to be pumped on Monday morning (yes that is today). So we got to digging and lifting the concrete lid to take a look. As we popped the cap to the Tank, we soon found that it was VERY close to the limit and someone ran off gagging looking like they were going to POP!
That's all folks

WOW, I am wanted!
First thing first.
I am so popular and extremely in demand, because apparently I can not even keep my blog updated fast enough. I am being hounded and hounded by the public..."Jason, where's the new stuff?"..."Jason, gives us some more!"..."Jason, we love you!"..."Jason, please put ME on your blog"..."Jason, why haven't you answered your fan mail?"..."Jason, why do you not have pants on?"...
Ok, I am trying to update once a week on a Sunday night or a Monday night. Sometimes, I do try and go out into the real world.
As for all those other comments...keep them coming. Anything you want added here, just let me know by email, phone, fax, courier, car, train, bus, plane, etc. I can be bought and sold.
People of the land, I love you all too.

Bens' 8th Birthday
A big thank's to Ben, Mitchel, Tasha and Mark for a funny movie and a fun day. We appreciate the invite to Ben's Birthday. I hope he had a good time, as we did. There were so many photos that I made a Photo album just for him. Just click on the title or on the link on the right.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!
Hot weekend
Well, what a weekend. Hottest one so far and it is only the beginning of June. So on June 11 the thermometer on the lake said 37 or 38, add the humidity to that.
What do you do on the hottest day of the year...order a dump truck full of sand and shovel it around! As you can see by the new photos in the June Photo's there is not a soul near the dirt. Ok, the photos were taken after it was shoveled, raked and leveled out.
There are also a few photos of Chuck's first love (and maybe one of his daughter).
Cathy and Tod, so sorry to hear what happened at the cabin!
Len and Todd, nice tent. Don't spend too much time in it.

Level 2 Adult Golf
Oh yes...and last Tuesday was the first of my 6 week "Learn to look like you know what you are doing" class. Should be good, same pro as my last class. He is a funny guy so should be some laughs as well as fun and knowledge. This class I will be able to say that I purposely am practiceing my hooks and slices when I am on the course.
Congratulations to Chuck and/or Todd
Congratulations to Chuck and Todd for being the first to test Johnson lake's temperature on June 3rd, 2005. I really don't know who did it first, because I was not there. As you can see on the link section to the right, June is here, so a June photo album has been added.
Some people do weird things when they have nothing to do...
What do they (TODD) do?
Well, wake up and get on their bicycle at 2:30 in the morning and ride it to Johnson Lake!
Do they bring water? NO! Buy some at a store near the entrance to Gatineau Park. "OOPS, it's 3:20 am, no store's open".
Oh well, find a vending machine. Great, on with the journey!
The trip was 88 kilometers. Doesn't seem too far, but, you won't catch me doing it.
So, Todd got it done in 8 hours and arrived at 10:30 in the morning. But there were plenty of stops along the way. Except for the trek through Gatineau Park, where he kept hearing motorcycles catching up to him in. Turn, look, nothing there. Hear it again and again and again! Still nothing around. Turned out to just be the thousands and thousands of mosquitoes. He would not even stop to take a break they were so bad. Who needs bug repellant!
Todd, good job. Glad you did it. Next time, ride back as well.

First camping trip
First thing is first. Thank God it has cabins!
Friday after work, myself and Uncle Len, drove Sarah to her first camp. Yes, it is only Friday evening till Sunday afternoon, but a good start to try and get Sarah into the camping thing.
Three leaders and ten little girls all sleeping to gether in a nice cabin! Unfortunatley, this Girl Guide Camp has thing against men. I offered my services and volunteered to stay with them for the weekend, but NO MEN allowed. I was distraught!
Dropped off Sarah on Friday, she just ran away as I stood there trying to say good-bye. No problems yet!
I was heading up to the lake so, forward the phone for emergency calls. Next thing you know Sunday morning rolls around and it's pick up time. Not a single problem. She had fun, but she looked exhausted.
Sunday evening at home, as I was installing the air conditioner, came downstairs to find Sarah fast asleep, half on and half off the couch at 5:30pm.
Asked if she wants to go for a week or two during the summer..."NO, 2 days is long enough, too many mosquitos!"
