Sooooo Bored….

I’m stuck up here in Ft. Simpson, NWT. What a ‘delightful’ place.

1 grocery store, 1 gas station and 2 restaurants… 1 of which is closed while the people are away on vacation.

Whoo-frickin-hoo.

And, to top it off, there is little flying.

Oh, and no internet at the crew house here… lovely.

This sucks.

Dude, not sure if anyone has told you but Alberta is BURNING!!!! We have 3 machines on fires in La Biche alone right now-and of course I am not one of them. Not flying much eh?! Well hopefully it will come around up there. Take some shots of the scenery for me, I had a couple instructors that said that its beautiful up there. I am off to the range for Sunday and Monday and then out doing cathodic surveys for TCP for the rest of the week. And no I am not rubbing in that I am busy, I would trade with you in a heart beat. Have fun and call me when you get home if you can find the time with the move and all. On a funny note I finally got my new helmet and the ear phones don’t work-I guess that’s what $1800 gets you.
