Back from the lake, boy is it nice to have a shower and shave. The weather was not the greatest, but the clouds did break occasionally. It managed to only rain after the days were done.

Being on the lake makes me wish I lived in a place like Atlantic Canada or coastal BC. I read books like Captains Courageous by Rudyard Kipling or 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea by Jules Verne and I wish I lived on a boat. The cool breeze and the freedom of floating on the ocean (or in my case, lake) is like true bliss. I'd even settle for a nice secluded cabin on a far away lake and a nice old wooden Chris Craft to float around on. One day.

My summer is shaping up to be jam packed with fun. This weekend is a lake trip at Jackfish. Boating, beer and burgers. Next up is Elfros 100 year weekend. That will be much like the lake trip. Next is Clay's hot tub party. Too many things, not enough money or time.

I've been scouring the job boards looking for industry related jobs, but thanks to the resession, the jobs are few and far between. There is one that I am going to apply for, but I'll stay mum until I hear something.
