Canadian Winter Weather

There is a funny saying about Canadian weather that goes like this "If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes, it will change." I was driving out to a sporting event this weekend, early in the morning. The outside temperature was about -13. For some reason we had fog just before daybreak, and as the fog was burned off, everthing was left in a frozen coating of ice crystals. It was like in the Spiderman comic books I read as a kid when Mr. Freeze shot everything with his ice gun.

The photos failed to capture to sparkling, almost diamond like coating, but they are spectacular never the less.

Enjoy.

Wolfpack Annual Awards Dinner 2006

Corporal Dozer receives his promotion - way to go guys!

Another year has past and the big night arrives. Awards are handed out, guys are promoted and a lot of food and drink is consumed. My only regret is that I couldn't stay past 1am.

This year the good people at the Legion allowed us to use their facilities in Mississauga. We did a potluck for the food, and used the Legion bar (drank them dry of a lot of stuff actually) and had a fabulous time. Claymore did a tribute to Robby Burns with "An Ode to Haggis", which was nothing less than a stunning performance, and a piper from the Legion came over and gave us a couple of bagfuls of notes to go with it. All of this was done off the cuff with no rehearsals.

Before I get lynched, I've posted the pictures. This year Morbius got a Rebel XT and is snapping away as well, so the pictures here are both his and mine. I've posted the EXIF data for the photos. When you see the XT, he took those and when you see the 20D, those are mine. There are about 230 photos that I chose out of about 450. Enjoy.
