The Plumber

I've become a plumber since the last time I've posted! Well kinda... Last night the toilet wouldn't flush so I had to unhook the pipe from the wall to toilet and then when there was no filter on that I had to lay on the floor between the toilet and the sink and pull out an orange filter thingy. Well unfortantly I found out it was two pieces and the second part dropped out and almost fell right in my face. Finally I got a the little rocks out! One rock did get in my eye- and I may have been slightly worried about pink eye no matter how many times I was ensured that was the in pipe not the out pipe I was still cornered about the "poop rocks" in my eye. Ali thought it was hilarious and I may have told her to fuck off but I really didn't mean it! There also may have been a few tears from me, but as Ali says we are beauty queens not plumbers!

In the last week it's been pretty busy and definitely interesting. I've started working full time as a restaurant manager, and it's pretty crazy. I have a lot of work to do and most of the current staff seems pretty excited and willing to see changes but only time will tell. However this blog isn't about my job, it's about my adventures in the bush so I'll move on.

On Wednesday we went into Sault Ste Marie, Michigan to go shopping. Thanks to Jess' guidance and company right across the border there is a TJMaxx, JCPenny, and a few other stores, but most exciting Bath and Body Works! The shopping was slightly better than it is on the Canadian side, but I'm still thinking online shopping is going to be my new go to shopping method. After shopping came lunch at Applebee's, holy it was cheep! And of course with my luck there was hair in my food, they were great and replaced it and I received a free lunch. However I'm thinking next time I cross the boreder I try something different!

Wednesday night I experienced another first! Ali and I attended our first Soo Greyhounds game! And they won! Exciting yes, but very strange at the same time, I am 99% sure everyone there knew each other. And we were outcasts!  

I have discovered I SUCK at chopping wood. I was successful enough to not freeze to death- however shamefully I have to admit I've been using fire starter. Until today when I went stick hunting, yes that's right I went hunting- wore camo and everything. I filled an entire basket full of sticks and twigs pretty great hunting day I must say. Oh and that's Hank the deer. 

The fox now has a name. Meet Gus! 

He is not my friend, but he has turned Ali to his side and now both Marc and Ali think he is a pet! 

As you can see he enjoys cat food and Ali touched his nose! I'm not impressed! 

To sum up the rest of the week in photos:

My new drivers license came in the mail! 

Ali and Toby are best friends

I can fry perch

The view is fantastic!
