: Rob,

: I've hunted Moose on the Hayes River, don't expect to see many or
: maybe any people for days and days at a time, it's big empty
: wilderness up there. Much less populated then where you have
: been so far. You'll have to be entirely self sufficient, you
: can't rely on help from people who aren't there.

I am taking the Nelson River route but might change that once I get to Norway House and talk to the locals. If they can show me a route to the Hayes, I just might change my plans a little. I am not worried about being self-dependant...that is what this trip has been about. I am bringing two guages of suture this time...you never know, eh!

: Still working on your ride from Winnipeg to Grand Rapids, Sean's
: wife passed away 2 days ago so we'll have to see what
: transpires. Kerri said if all else fails she'd try to get time
: off work to drive you.

Ok, Ken...I will wait for your notice. Email me privately about Sean's wife...what happened? If you can't arrange anything, don't worry, I will do the drive to Grand Rapids myself.

: I'm helping a contracter buddy of mine who is way behind because of
: all the rain we've had. Been working all my days off so I'm a
: little whipped. Sitting in a lab watching fungii grow is a
: little different from running up and down ladders all day.
: Didn't realize how soft I've gotten. Most of the stiffness and
: soreness has past and I'm almost able to feed myself :D

Don't work so hard, man...I used to work like that but not any more...in the end, it just wasn't worth working so much and missing my rec time.

: Talk to ya soon.

Aight, I'm all ears.
