[180diablo]

The week off that I took for my holidays (July 30th to Aug 3rd), the gal I work with was all alone here (normally 3 of us in my Dept). My boss had taken the original week I had for my holidays as a medical leave for his Hernia surgery. So, the following week I was on holidays and he also ended up taking that second week to give the surgery more time to heal.

Needless to say the gal I work with said it was one of the busiest weeks we have ever seen here at my work ..... and I was off floating around my boat somewhere....

Way too many rockshelfs on Georgian Bay, particulary with the water levels being down so you have to know exactly where you're goin' ....

We had excellent viewing here. Early Monday AM when we just got back from the Owen Sound Drive-In the spectacle was amazing.

After dark on the water is ideal here. You have to be practically on shore to find bottom. Finding home is also a piece of cake, as the entrance to my harbour is lit by a flashing light. (mind you it was out for a couple of days last week...)

We have a use them or lose them holiday policy. So I'm using them!!

My cottage doesn't have a phone. My neighbours have a wireless router though, so I'm just borrowing some bandwidth... My cell phone stays off and in my bag, until I need to make a call.
