Sis, coleman doesn't so much crawl as....I guess humps is the word I'm looking for. yup he humps around on the floor. it works for him though. chubby little bugger can't quite stay up on his knees yet. Coleman had his first boat ride last week, he didn't seem to mind it at all. he also had his first jacuzzi while we were in Hay River. It's been smoky here off and on over the last week or so, not so bad as to make you choke but bad enough to provide some welcome relief from the bugs. there have been a few fires in the area and some pretty big ones over by yellowknife. The pics, Charlie brown's self portrait(I'm ready for my close up, mr. DeMille) A Pickerel we caught over by Harris creek, Coleman in the boat, and one of the tanker crew walking the wing of the DC4 while refuelling for operations 10 south east of fort simpson. This is not a water bomber, these guys drop dry chemical retardant and are used primarily to contain a forest fire as opposed to attacking the fire itself. forestry has a base at my airport, and sometimes when we have 2 or 3 tankers and 2 or 3 bird dogs(small, fast twin engine a-craft that accompany and direct the tankers) operating in the area.
