Senior Men’s Curling

Lynn — Mon, 19 Feb 2007 05:36:50 +0000

Way to go! They won … skipped by George Hilderman, ably assisted by Buck Bernie, Gord Zealand, and his truly, Lawrie Stewart. So the story is, they went to Watson Lake to establish the top two Yukon teams and came first, then they went to Yellowknife to establish the Northern Team and came first. Now they are on their way to the Nationals, this year being hosted by Trois Riviere, Quebec. Congratulations guys!

Of course this collides with our holiday in Mexico, but I guess Mexico will always be there, whereas the Nationals won’t!

Sorry, no team picture yet … maybe later.

Okay, here is later!

2006 National Mixed Curling Championships

This has been a great week! Whitehorse Curling Club was host to the Canadian Mixed and we’ve been volunteering our time. Of course this means we’ve spent the week up at the curling club or running around on errands. But it has been a lot of fun and we’ve made some new friends while we have been at it. All the games were great but Ontario came away with first place. They lost their first three games and then won every single one after that. Congratulations team Ontario!!! Saskatchewan was our team to escort in so they were naturally our team to cheer on. Unfortunately they didn’t curl as well as they are used to doing and didn’t make the play-offs. For statistical stuff you can go to Whitehorse Curling Club’s website at www.whitehorsecurlingclub.com where they spell it all out.

Moose hunting

I think Lawrie should be writing this … but he isn’t! They didn’t see any bull moose, so they didn’t come home with any meat for the freezer. Now this is fine by me cause we don’t really eat meat anymore. The rest of the folk on the trip though aren’t really happy about the absence of their winter’s meat. Everyone enjoyed the camping and canoeing though so all was not lost. I suspect if it had rained or snowed much they would have been grumpy, but this wasn’t the case.

McQueston River

Saturday morning we were up early and did the final packing and organizing for moose hunting 2005. Lawrie is off to canoe this river in Yukon that is located north of Mayo and south of Dawson City. The folks along are seasoned canoers and it should be a great time if the weather is reasonable. Reasonable weather would be no snow, above zero temperatures, and less wind than a hurricane. It was raining most of the way to the put in and the road was quite greasy. I left them with their gear on the beach and washing the canoes. Have fun I say! I didn’t run out of fuel before I got back to Mayo and was surprised that the price there was a meer 109.9 for a litre of diesel. Not bad considering it is around 102.9 in Whitehorse. After getting permission to leave the truck at the take out I put the Os in the car and came home. 10 pm it was by the time I got here. Just a 14 hour contribution to the hunting this year. I think I’ll actively start encouraging Lawrie to take up sky-diving. This saga is not over, I’ll return for the next installment tomorrow.
