    Some of these pictures were a pixilated in certain spots because we were in the middle of a big city and had to carry protection. Just want to make sure it didn’t offend anyone that came across this baby.

If anyone out there has one add me! My address is flipjargendy {at} googlewave.com.

    If you think you would use Wave, let me know. The only way you can sign up is if you are invited. Just like when Gmail started, it is still in testing. So, just like the person before me and the one before him, I’ll have anyone who wants an invite leave a comment to this post with your email address encoded in Base64. I like that idea because that way we aren’t giving bots email addresses to suck up and spam… and Base64 is so cool.

    There are some awesome pictures Rach and I came across some awesome pictures which will definitely be posted on my next post. These photos are so great! The only reason I am not posting them is because of who is around me at the moment.

    ”Would you like to go Partridge hunting this Sunday?” they asked me. My first thought,”I love meat, why not?” So I told them yes! Then I told them,”I have never shot a shotgun.”
    A few days later Tim and I are in the woods. I am wearing a, borrowed, blaze orange hat and carrying a side-by-side (double barrel) shotgun loaded with two twelve gauge shells. My first thought,”Never thought I’d be doing this.”
    ”Now, when I shoot will it kick a lot? I mean, I don’t want to see a bird and not know what to expect when I shoot at it as its flying away.” I told him.
    He said,”See that stump over there, just line up the bead [on the end of the barrel] with the stump and you’ll shoot it!”
    After a little hesitation, being sure there was nothing living near my path of fire, I pulled the trigger and fired one of the shells. At the very moment I pulled the trigger the gun pushed into my shoulder and BB’s scattered on and around the stump. It felt good against my shoulder, like an expedited massage.
    I didn’t see one bird, or hear one fly off. The population is pretty low the past two years, I am told. Next time I go, hopefully I can bring home some tasty food.

» Winter in the Boundary Waters
Over the weekend Rachel and I went to Ely, Minnesota to stay at a cabin with Steve & Aimee. It was the first real snow of the year. There was about six inches of snow on the ground in Ely. When we left home there was no snow on the ground. It was as if we travelled thousands of miles. The woods do not look like skeletons when you go that for north in Minnesota. They are so full of different types of pine and spruce trees that make up such a dense forest, it is thicker and more alive then the forests are in the lower north of the state.
    Steve and I ended up hiking about 4 miles one day. We were about 6 miles from that Canadian border. We ate our lunch around a fire we made from birch bark and whatever dry wood we could find. It feels amazing to hike in such cold temperatures. It was so cold while we were there that the lakes, which were open the day before froze over completely. It was, at most, in the single digits during the day. The way your body feels when you stay warm just from moving in those temperatures is amazing. There is nothing like it.
    Throughout the weekend I took pictures. My next post will contain those pictures.
