Photo and Film A Day

Started out as a bet, with the winner getting beer.
Melissa and I were trying to figure out something for supper last minute and decided to hit up Mary Brown’s, specifically for their fish burger, the Marytimer. Brilliant marketing, haha, a fish burger called the Marytimer. We went to the closest MB’s on Freshwater rd, but they were all out, they said it finished on Friday and they were out. We were devastated! Melissa got me to call the Mary Brown’s on Blackmarsh … we were in business once again. These are the delicious fish burgers we enjoyed. Melissa says it’s better with mayo instead of the tartar sauce but I beg to differ, loves me a bit of tartar. And of course we shared some taters. *DS

The patio was done last week and the patio set was put together yesterday with the help of Michael and Justin. Here is the completed patio. Now for some lighting. Look closely and notice the petal in my hair from the tree behind us. It blooms for maybe a week and then for 3 or 4 days it snows down petals everywhere. *DS

Lot’s of talk tonight; Muskrat Falls and the lack of alternatives examined, EI changes and the impact they’re going to have, challenges facing rural NL, challenges facing the fishery, cats in Corner Brook, and puppy dogs were among the topics. A low key night just hanging out was a great way to end a busy week. This is Chris and Munky pulling out in Chris’ Forte. Riannon (spelling???), Jeff and Deanne were also over with Melissa, Heather and I. Bigg-E was humping Deanne and Jeff, it was funny. We’re going to bed watching Love and Savagery on netflix, an Allan Hawco movie from 2009, it’s really good so far. A busy day tomorrow. Good night! *DS

Well, finally had a feed from Long Dick’s Sausage Emporium today and it was deadly! So good. The sausage was great and the bun was equally as good. 2 sausages, 2 glass bottles of Coke, and a $2 tip was $20, but they were definitely worth it. The owner was a class act, too. He let me take this picture for the blog and then asked me to send it to him so he can send it off to the Toronto Sun as they have been asking him for a photo for a story, neato! Go get some Long Dick’s, you’ll be more than satisfied! He’s located next to The Newfoundland Chocolate Factory, go there for dessert! http://thescope.ca/scoff/long-dicks-sausage-emporium *DS

Melissa and I took Bigg-E for a walk around Quidi Vidi tonight. We went out past the breakwater to look at an iceberg. On our way back I let Melissa and the dog go ahead and took this picture. It’s hard to see the dog, he was trying to eat some kelp on the shore, you can make out his tail, haha. The sun was pretty well gone and a zodiac was on it’s way out the Gut making for an interesting picture. Hope you all enjoyed this awesome day! *DS

This foot belongs to a friend of mine who was making a caldron full of Kraft Dinner last night around 12:30 (technically today). 6 boxes of KD were boiling in about 5 litres of water when it started to boil over. In the excitement of the water boiling over he jumped up to grab some gloves to tend to the KD. As he arose he stumbled and fell towards the fire and the pot, he was able to roll to his left as he was falling but he hooked a 3 foot spoon sticking out of the pot, pulling all of the water over. People jumped up quickly, however, the dude who fell was on his back. He was able to elevate the left side of his body, closest to the fire, but, in doing so his right foot was holding most of his weight and was totally exposed to the boiling water. This isn’t pretty and he’s going to be laid up from work for a while, but this could have been much worse and serves as a reminder for us all that we can always be more careful around fire. Melissa and I drove him home from Cupids and then stayed in CBS for the night, going back to the campsite this morning to pack everything up. The good news is that everyone had a great evening and I was able to take some pretty cool photos once the clouds moved back to expose a beautiful night. I’ll be posting them on FB tonight or tomorrow. *DS

Another week in the books! I only had one day off this week (Wednesday), but I still somehow managed to film a decent amount of footage. I took a different approach to the video this week as I wanted to capture a day in the life of completing a todo list. It was fun to shoot, fun to plan, and fun to put together. I also saw the Avengers which was incredible. Hard to believe we have officially passed the 1/3rd mark of this challenge. 34 weeks to go, let the journey continue! Until next week. 

So this is a terrible picture but there’s a funny story to it. I was trying to take a pic of an awesome pulled pork sandwich I was eating by the campfire tonight but as I was taking the pic Bigg-E took a bite of it! Lots of pics from tonight but this one is probably my fav. I’ll be posting the rest to fb tomorrow. *DS
