Hi from lutsel'ke via iPod touch little keyboard big pain

well I am hitting the road...hitting the sky rather, I'm flying out in the morning to Lutsle'ke NWT an apparently scenic little community on the shore of Great Slave lake. I've never been there, and once again my boss is in a pinch, so fort simpson saves the day, once again off I go.
the guy josh had originally planned to go in there, had an engine failure on his Buffalo airways flight to yellowknife and got scared and then wouldn't get on the next plane(Air Tindi) to Lutsle'ke. I know! what a chicken! He ended up getting some one to drive from hay river to YK to pick him up. I mean doesn't Buffalo Joe lose an engine on every flight? especially after ice pilots, people feel ripped off if they have a good flight. anyhoo gotta pack- I hope my plane doesn't lose an engine...it only has the one.

if anyone asks if there are polar bears in my neck of the woods you can tell them , yes, there is one. this one at the yellowknife airport(it's a bit of a joke with the locals) although the best taxidermy display I think I've ever seen.

the bear spots his prey!, and makes his move!

the lucky seal lives for another day.

recieving an award from my boss

another award

It was a good trip. really good to see some folks that I only get to see every few years. Shout out to my boss josh and Lisa from ottawa you guys put on a great trip. everyone had a good time.

and to Cam Mason, ouch! I wouldn't want to see the bill for this shindig, but money well spent.

and frank, yeah I am indeed a very lucky dude!

well I'm off to yellowknife tomorrow and fort smith the day after that. Over the last couple of mornings at work I've been adding up all the hours I've worked in the ten years I've been with ATS. I have all the pay sheets since it switched over to ATS from the feds-so I counted them up...twenty two thousand three hundred eighty-eight hours as of today. I have more clocked hours than ANYONE else in the company...including the founder and owner, Cam Mason.
when he hired me he asked me how long i figured I'd stay with the company and I asked him how long you gonna be in business? he's still in business, an' im still there.
