I also remember the look of rapture on Tim's face when he realized he could get sausage gravey for breakfast at the Perkins Restaurant. And finally I can remember Tim offering to roll my cigarettes from the back seat and him and Jay giggling like school girls when they told me how many mosquitoes they had rolled in with the tobacco.

Ya, the fish were named Re...These are fantastic! <br /><br />Ya, the fish were named Rex and Piglet (and for the record, I think it was you who named them) We had them on the TV in the hotel room during our 21 day shifts and we'd take them home for the 4 days each month we got off. Because we'd normally work a half day before returning to Calgary, we had to bring the fish out to the site with us for the morning. I can't find my photos, but I know I have a few pics of the fishbowl in tipi rings. After you went MUN and I went to Western, the fish lived for many happy years at my parents place.<br /><br />This was a really fun crew and project. I still think about the pancakes from the hotel restaurant, our experiments with the solar hotdog cooker, and you walking around the room with bloody toes because you decided to flintknapp on the balcony in barefeet. I'm pretty happy however that I'll never have to use a powerscreen again!Jaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5086026991280831425.post-78404071644859884422012-02-22T18:36:37.266-03:302012-02-22T18:36:37.266-03:30Hmm, That sounds like something I'd do; I gues...Hmm, That sounds like something I'd do; I guess me and the fish never really bonded.<br /><br />I'm probably a lazier photographer now than when it was film. I rely way more on quantity and photoshop than I do on composure and camera settings these days.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11473674521424237610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5086026991280831425.post-60823363106285639162012-02-22T16:16:29.806-03:302012-02-22T16:16:29.806-03:30thanks for sharing!thanks for sharing!jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10796305449502687894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5086026991280831425.post-55304060145361975382012-02-22T13:22:10.150-03:302012-02-22T13:22:10.150-03:30Aaaah the days of film - thank goodness they'r...Aaaah the days of film - thank goodness they're gone! Digital photography seems to have a way of making things look so much better (or at least affording us the luxury of taking enough photos that some turn out the way we wanted them to).John Erwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11557136521355806134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5086026991280831425.post-62180911854813403632012-02-22T10:25:41.996-03:302012-02-22T10:25:41.996-03:30You bought the goldfish to keep in your hotel room...You bought the goldfish to keep in your hotel room because you wanted a pet.
