Throwback Thursday – Locked in The Camper (August 2015)

I told this story soon after it happened but now, five years later, it also qualifies to be a “Throwback Thursday” post as well. At the time, we were at Shea’s parents’ campsite getting ready for supper and no one was paying much attention to Sasha in the camper as people bustled in and out. […]

Saturday Snap – Our New Camper (2018 Forest River Cherokee Grey Wolf)

Shea and I had been tossing around the idea of upgrading to a bigger camper for a couple years but Covid sort of forced our hand this year. The initial restrictions for campgrounds included the fact that bathrooms would be closed and people would only be allowed to use their own camper’s facilities. Our rPod […]

Saturday Snap – Camping Can’t Come Soon Enough

One of the first things allowed in Saskatchewan’s reopening plan is camping. We requested and got approved to move to a new site in the regional park where we have our seasonal site so have spent a couple weekends moving various sheds, storage bins, fridges and other supplies to our new site. Looking forward to […]

Saturday Snap – Drive-Thru (Our Grille) [Content May Disturb Some Viewers]

I don’t do warnings on this blog very often but I know the photo shows a dead animal and so may bother some people. You’ve been warned. So anyhow, we went out to Weyburn all day yesterday.  Last fall, we applied for and received a transfer to a new seasonal campsite – bigger, closer to […]

Five Lists of Five Things I’m Thinking About As Scott Moe Prepares To Release His Five Phase Plan for Reopening Saskatchewan

Premier Scott Moe had a press conference tonight to announce that…he will be having a press conference tomorrow night to talk about how his government has a five point plan for reopening the province now that we’ve flattened the curve…maybe. There’s no doubt that Saskatchewan has done very well during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to […]

Saturday Snap – Hockey’s Back! (And so is beer!)

I’ve been trying to greatly reduce my beer drinking from summer camping levels (essentially down to one per week instead of one per hour!) and I’m also trying to drink only terrible tasting low-carb beer (fuck, I’m old.) But I made a special exception for one last beer I had left from our Calgary trip […]

Camping Stereotypes

The camping season’s over but I can’t help but share this funny video…  

Music Monday – “Now in the pouring snow, sad, but swift/I headed down the highway/Hoping that the burden of my blues would lift/And praying that the whiskey would keep me brave”

Easily my favourite song of the year (I can’t believe I haven’t posted it before!) “Letter to Madeline” – Ian Noe

Five Things I Want From An All-Inclusive Resort (Before I Go)

Ever since we bought our camper a few years ago along with our good fortune to be able to go on winter holidays for a few years running, I’ve begun to feel that my life basically oscillates between those two annual highlights. We get off the plane in late February/early March, tanned and rested and […]
