Today is October 21, 2008 today is also Tuesday. I had a pretty plain day, it wasn’t filled with any excitement, it was just another one of my days. My truck is currently in the shop where it is undergoing surgery more or less. It is getting installed the lift components that I purchased in Edmonton and picked up this past weekend. The work is being done in a nice little shop in Dawson Creek, not at nationally known shop but yet have a shot run by local. For some reason I seem to trust this man more than a I would a national company. He seems like an honest man, a hardworking man, someone who’s just working because it’s a way of life. Not to get rich quick, or to try to cheat people out of money but just because he enjoys doing what he does and does it to help everybody else. Hopefully he was able to get all the work done on the truck today and I’m going to go pick it up tomorrow and around lunchtime with Bev and Deb. But that is tomorrow and this is today. After Ken finished work, he wanted to go off and see if he could find a Moose or an Elk. I went off in his truck with him. We drove about half way to Groundbirch and then turned off the road. Up and down we went along the narrow road in search. In search of what, I don’t know because we didn’t see it……whatever it was. We stopped a couple of times and got out and ventured around for a bit. At one point Ken got ahead and I went a different direction and as I walked I listened. Slowly I went a couple steps at a time listening ever so carefully. Waited and watching for anything. I bet you didn’t know that trees spoke; they have stories to tell if you’re willing to be patient and listen. I stood there for awhile appreciating life and the beauty of it and then proceeded on to find Ken. We regrouped and headed back to the highway and then home. Unfortunately we did not get any animals but we did find lots of tree that had been cut down that would be excellent for firewood. But that will be for another day.
