Little family trip to the Thousand Islands. So far looking good. More to follow. Don't worry FFL peeps. I'll be back to dominate draft day. :p

1000 Islands very nice this time of year. Mrs.O's old stomping grounds, Canada side of course. If you're fishing hope you get some big ones.

Mikey's pool is like Auschwitz for racoons.

What the hell? Are those some kind of mats so people won't get sand on their feet?

I guess. It was kind of nice that I could scuff my water shoes on it and get the sand off before I got back to the car.

Water shoes? Bunch of beach pussies up in NY?

I like my feet nice and soft, not cut up.

Goober McTuber · Post by **Goober McTuber** » Mon Aug 21, 2017 5:36 pm

Cut up? WTF kind of "beaches" you got? Everyone wears shoes in the water?

BSmack · Post by **BSmack** » Mon Aug 21, 2017 5:51 pm

There's a few stones there. Nowhere near as rocky as Lake Ontario beaches. Anyway we're watching the partial eclipse. Not much happening yet.

Come walk on the beach here and see how long it takes until a clam shell slices your foot open.

That's the ocean. BSmack posted a pic of a nice sandy beach. They obviously picked up all the clam shells and sharp rocks off of the beach and threw them all into the water.

Hell, where I spent a chunk of my childhood we didn't walk in certain sections of the ocean lest we step on one of these:

Can be deadly.

We have sandy beaches along the river here inland, in Portland. You don't walk on those barefoot, either... syringes.

The Saint Lawrence River in the Thousand Islands region basically has a metric shit ton of glacial deposits. Better safe than sorry.

They could leave their mud huts unlocked at night during the Pleistocene age. It was a simpler time then.

I have no problems getting around on a beach. I have photographic evidence, if you'd like.

Spent some time at the Eisenhower Locks and Robert Moses Dam in Massena.

Looks like winter has taken its toll on the pavement. Seeing ships go through the locks is cool. I've only seen the Iroquois locks on the Canada side.

We saw this in a front yard on the way back. It ought to make our Southern posters feel a little bit better about their educational systems. You just know that this guy is the guy every single Town official dreads seeing walking into town hall.

Looks like we're going to be going to Canada today. Pics to follow.

Hawaii is nice and all, but the weather/water temp is about the same year round, so imo it's a lot nicer in winter. And the surf is up.

Some arial views from 1000 Islands Tower. We also took a ferry to Howe Island where we discovered that there is fuck all to do on Howe Island.

Wolfman · Post by **Wolfman** » Wed Aug 23, 2017 10:44 pm

Must have been by that 100 times, but never went up. There is an elevator? Nice view of the Ivy Lea Bridge.

Yes there's an elevator right in the middle of the tower. It moves 400-plus feet in less than 30 seconds. They have an enclosed viewing area and then two observation areas above that one, accessible by stairs, that are more open to the elements. I went there as a kid and I figured now's a good time to expose my son to some of my favorite spots in the islands.

And for tomorrow, a visit to Ottawa. It's going to be a long day.

Okay so I wanted to take a picture of the Terry Fox Memorial because Terry Fox. Problem was is that some Canadian Moving Sale thought the statue was his own personal rest area. I thought perhaps if I started taking pictures around the area they might get a clue that I wanted to take a picture of the Terry Fox statue. He did not take that hint. So fuck him, I took the picture anyways. Then I came back from Parliament later and nobody was there so I took a proper picture.

I hope you are able to get good and wasted some late night, then swim out and pet the sharks.

have a nice trip.

A midget can hide behind a clump of plankton. No possibility of a shark getting him. Better chance he will get scooped up by some feeding whale, but the end result is still the same so it it good.

He could hook up with some of that decent Hawaiian weed and lose his mind, since his SLO ditch weed is probably no buzz anyway.

More from Ottawa. The Canadian Firefighters Memorial and some shots of the Ottawa River on the Sir George-Étienne Cartier Parkway. We had lunch at a place called the Boathouse on the river.
