Eric T - Summer Trip 2007

Summer Trip 2007

Already on return trip: We had a wonderful time driving through the rockies. We're on the return leg now, I'm typing this right now in Lake Louise, AB. No time left...; posted @ Saturday, August 18, 2007 7:54 PM | Feedback (0)

Junior Training Camp: We almost finished the Junior Training Camp. I learned how to operate a commercial dish-washer, and I was in charge of cleaning all the plates, glasses and cutlery for about 70 people. It was neat running an assembly line dish cleaning operation. I wouldn't want to have to do that as a full-time job though!; posted @ Wednesday, July 25, 2007 11:14 PM | Feedback (0)

GPS: I got a GPS as an early Birthday present. Man, those things are fun. All our erratic driving is now recorded. I can see all the places where I got lost. We call our unit 'Eddie' (as in Eddie the shipboard computer, from the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy fame; famous for the line: "I can compute your personality problems to 11 decimal places!"). Our Eddie's suggestions on how to get somewhere can be just as annoying as his namesake ("Make a U-Turn in 1.7 km").; posted @ Monday, July 23, 2007 10:51 AM | Feedback (0)

Arrived in Saskatoon: We arrived safely in Saskatoon last night at 02:30 Ottawa time (00:30 local). The trip was fine and easy. The Google guesstimate of 35 hours was almost bang on. First night just outside of Kirkland Lake, second night just before Dryden. Now in a hotel, because we couldn't find a camp site coming into Saskatoon.; posted @ Monday, July 23, 2007 10:05 AM | Feedback (0)
