LOST

Good Morning!
    Well, I am still trying to figure out my next MOVE! Either I go back to Cali, or someplace warm... or I head somewhere else. If it ain't warm, it's gonna have to be a music town. I'm leaning towards getting a BAND together, finally. Chop or sing... sing or chop??? Either way, I'm happy.
    I just wish I knew what STATE I was headed to!!!
                              CANOE! CANOE!

HEALED?

Good morning! 
    I rested my torn whatever-it-is, and it seems to have helped! I will wrap it up today, and see how I do. I must figure out which way I'm headed for the Winter, and what I will do with the little canoe. The big one is staying where it is.
                                CANOE! CANOE!
   

HURTS SO GOOD...

Good morning!
   Yesterday, Tom and Melissa helped me re-position the little canoe at Curlew Lake Canoe Camp. After "dressing" my camp, I got choppin'! 
    I started opening the middle of the canoe, and continued by opening the gunwales on the port side. I was excited to be chopping up top, in a suitable place! I may have been TOO excited. I ripped something in my right forearm... possibly a tendon. It's not good. The wood was cutting so well, and I was making much better progress, as I chopped. This set-back hurts in more ways than one. I could FINISH this canoe in about two weeks, if only I could keep choppin'!
    For now, I'm contacting local schools about coming to camp. I'm also making final touches on my new web-site for my canoe business. Will I ever be able to make a living doing this?
    I HAVE TO!

                         CANOE! CANOE! 

GOOD NEWS!

Good morning!
    Good news! The little canoe finally made it to Curlew Lake Canoe Camp! After my coffee, I'm headin' out to CHOP!!! The BIG PINE may have to be finished in the Spring, when I can spend more time on it, in it's awkward position. We'll see. It's possible that the tree brought me here to make the little one!
    The people I have met here, in Ferry County, have ben wonderful! There are SO many trees around here, that I might make this my Summer Canoe Camp on a regular basis. The Winter is NOT accomodating, however, and I still need to figure out my next move. Welcome to my world!
                               CANOE! CANOE!

COME TO ME

Good morning! 
    My little canoe is still missing. I'm a little concerned, to say the least. I've been leaving the BIG pine alone, since she's already oiled and happy. I'm getting stir-crazy, though, and might have to chop!
    It's clear to me, at this point, that part of THIS dugout journey was learning that I need a proper rig. or a better system of retrieving these trees. The arch-type skidders would work, IF I had a good truck. 
    I would have to trade or sell a canoe for a truck... or anything else. It's about time to market some of my beautiful canoes. I just wish I could FINISH the canoes I've been working on, lately!

                             CANOE...

                        COME TO ME!


                      CANOE! CANOE!

PLANS

Good morning!
    Nothing but the same ol' FOG up here. I'm still waiting for the Barter Faire canoe to come home! I want to finish at least ONE of these canoes before the snow comes! I'm still up-in-the-air about my Winter home. Gotta get ready to move soon.
                                     CANOE! CANOE!

DEJA VU

Good morning!
    Waited again, and nothing happened. Keith was coming by last night, I thought, with the little tree. Maybe he'll make it, tonight. Meanwhile, I'm trying to figure out my plans for the Winter. Where will I finish these canoes?
                              CANOE! CANOE!
