Riding the Waves for a Letter
The mailbox is about a kilometer from our house, and Sam usually check it while driving. But since the weather was nice that day, I decided to go by kayak. The blue sky and green trees reflected on the lake, with the sparkling waves, seemed to herald the beginning of an adventure. When I arrived […]
Getting ready for summer
Each year, setting up the bridge spans for access to the lake has been a manual task, but this year, it was accomplished in record time: a mere three hours. Sam, always striving for simplicity, innovates his approach each year to make the process as effortless as possible. Ready for summer in every way.

Fitness Challenge Mini Triathlon
I completed PO2 Craig Blake Memorial Fitness Challenge. It is a mini triathlon for military and DND personnel, consisting of a 300m swim, a 6.5K mountain bike and a 2K run. It was short, but very tough. It was a perfect day for this event. I didn’t have to wear a wetsuit which takes times […]
