Day 564

I am heading waaaaayyyyy into the bush tomorrow.  No internet, no cell coverage, and no electricity.  I am getting dropped off miles away from the nearest road by a float plane for a week of rest and relaxation on a remote lake in the middle of Nowhere, Ontario. 

I will be completely off the grid until at least August, 2nd.  If the weather is shitty on the 2nd the planes may not be able to fly to come pick us up.  That actually happened to us back in 2006.  We were stuck in the middle of nowhere for an extra day and a half because there was a massive storm that basically just pitched a tent right on top of us for three days.

I just wanted to throw it out there so that everyone would know why I suddenly disappeared.  There is no danger of us caving because we aren't taking any tobacco products of any kind with us on the trip.  And there won't be a store within 20 miles of us once we get dropped off..

I will be back and posting roll on August 2nd or 3rd depending on the weather.

Day 508

I am heading north on Friday and will be in the bush by Saturday morning.  I know the area pretty well and should have cell coverage in a few places unless something has changed since last year.  So, I will be posting and ghosting for about a week and a half.  And I might be a little late posting roll on a few days if I have to search for a signal.   

Stay frosty, my friends!

Have fun buddy

Day 454

My wife just came outside to tell me that my beard was on fire.

That is a first for me.

I threw a couple pieces of wood in the fire pit and there was a bit of heat that exploded when the wood hit the fire.  I felt the heat hit my face, but there was zero pain.  About 90 seconds later my wife came flying out of the door screaming that my beard was on fire.  And she was correct.  My beard was on fire.

I’m sorry, but that’s fucking funny.....Ok, are you ok? Any serious burns?

I am fine.  And it was fucking funny, which is why I shared it. 

My wife was totally freaking out and I honestly didn’t feel a thing.  I rubbed my beard when she started screaming and it was definitely on fire, but it never burned me.  It was kind of weird, actually.  I had been drinking a little, but I was not drunk.  The whole thing really was funny.

Day 433

I am down 32 lbs since the first of the year.  I have lost the weight mostly thru exercise and cutting back on my calories at lunch.  It feels good to feel so good again.  My goal was to lose 50 lbs this year, but now I am hoping to hit 50 in the next few months.  I am sure the weight loss will slow down once beer and bbq season hits full bore.  I am going to try to focus more on grilled salmon and grilled chicken this year and see if I can balance that with the weight loss plan. 

I am going to the liquor store today to purchase a variety of low calorie/low carb beers to see if any of them might "hit the spot."  I am usually a pale ale or IPA guy so this might be a challenge.  Wish me luck!
I was drinking a 12 pack a night when I stopped.  Thought I would lose a bunch of weight but it didn't happen. Had to kill starches and especially the late night PB&J before I saw results.  Was trying to exercise my way into a diet.  Doesn't work.  I'm down 15 pounds for the year so far.  20 more to the target.  Then I can host the BBQ.  Getting a hog next week, maybe two.  Would love to host an east coast meetup. I could send my wife and girls to the beach for the weekend and we'd be free to lay around in our shorts and eat meat with our hands!

Fuck shorts

Badass quitters like yourself do not need luck, you own shit.

When are we having the BBQ cookoff at Athan's place?

A BBQ weekend sounds like a pretty good time.  We might need to put some thought into it.
