My luxurious castle [IMG] See the table my bags are on ? Yeah...that's not a table...that's a bed. [IMG] At least they gave me a 4" chunk...
The inflight movie was kind of boring. It was something about a couple of pallets of explosives and some pipes. LOL [IMG] I got the whole...
My latest venture into the north landed me a few degrees above the arctic circle. Goose Lake, Nunavut to be exact. It's an exploratory drilling...
Amen brother. That's my exact situation as well. I also like knowing that if the power goes out or the furnace dies, it's no big deal. My backup...
As a lot of you know, I'm traveling a lot now, and winter is here in the places I go. Very shortly, I'm going to have to be dragging all of my...
