Where the spirit leads the feet will follow.
Down distant paths for unmapped miles.
Heads forget but hearts remember:
The art of living knows no bounds.

Silo's Retirement Gift

Silo retires early next week, so we had a Four Wheel Pop-Up Camper installed on the new Chevy.

It's a Hawk Slide-in with a front dinette, queen bed, heater, AC unit on top, 2 wide solar panel, tracks for a roof rack, and lots of inside storage. We plan to continue camping off-grid and boon-docking, but this camper gives us the option to pull into an RV park and hook up to electricity and water when we feel like it.

Yes...we plan to be away a lot the next several months. Hike-Camp-Climb-Kayak-Fish!

Dubbing Blend

Dubbing blend for balanced leech fly pattern.
 
I wanted some Firecracker red, but not as much as the Arizona Diamond Dub provided, so I blended it with Hairline Ice Dub in UV Black. I like it.

Letowski Is Hurt (old)

..."There's a big hit by Kyle Mclaren on Trevor Latowski and Letowski's hurt". OoooHHHH!!

This is a YouTube clip for back in 2010 (I think) by YouTuber thereaperjkidd.

I think one of the most brutal hip checks by the great Kyle Mclaren that I have seen...and he had A LOT! 😆

This video is probably somewhere else on this site, but it never hurts to post it again. I'm unsure of what Kyle Mclaren is up to these days. A quick web search didn't turn up anything recent. He was one of our favorite Sharks player back in that era. Thanks for all the great memories Kyle!
