MRI today.

Finally had my appointment with the allergist, 3 months after the hornet sting incident. About 50 tests. Oddly enough, I'm not allergic to *anything*. I must have just had too much venom in me at the time, but it looks like my man-purse with epi-pen can stay home now except for when I'm deep in the bush.

Took a slightly longer route home as the graders are eating up my existing trail again. Grrrr.

Idiot. Weather wasn't bad when I headed out, and forecast was "A few showers ending this afternoon then clearing. Risk of a thunderstorm. High 20."

10 minutes from work the sky opened up and we got absolutely drenched.
Heard thunder as we biked along the sidewalk to work too. Visibility in my rx glasses was lousy too.

C • MRI 3

Actually took me almost an hour. My front deraillerur got all out of whack some how, and it's a b*tch to field-adjust on the new bike- no barrel adjuster.

Paddling with Bash from Arowhon to Gibraltar Rock where Bash and I got married. We had to hover a bit to wait for the folks to leave the site. Also had a nice paddle around Joe Lake.

Paddled with Bash up the river from Little Joe Lake to Baby Joe Lake, to burnt Island Lake and back.
On the way we demo'ed the T-rescue as we fished out a couple of newbie paddlers, and saved their drenched cell phones, iPods, digital cameras, etc.

On Burnt Island lake we found the remains of Camp Minising, and an old cart trail that used to go to what is now the Minissing bike/ski trail.
Bash's intrigued- some serious exploration potential and winter loops possible.

BI Lake was absolutely phenomenal, colour-wise.
