August 29th, 2010

p201008-027-arnieretirement201008-111-arnieretirement201008-141-arnieretirement201008-080-arnieretirementIt took me awhile to sift through and work on pictures. On August 12, 2010, Arnie Schreder had his last official flight in a DC-4 before heading to Kelowna for retirement. We will all miss him, be it while flying, socializing & partying. Buffalo is loosing a great pilot. I am sure he will come back for the odd flight. Enjoy your new house and time in the Okanagan… you deserve it Arnie.

Sadie goes camping

August 23rd, 2010

201008-005-prosperouslkcampingWell Dan finally got a green weekend (not on call) and I was off so we went canoeing and camping . Our friend Robyn and her dog Sierra joined us. We got a life jacket for Sadie and off we went. Sadie loved the canoe ride and watching Sierra swim the entire trip. Those labs are crazy swimmers! Both dogs had a blast – Sadie eats everything – sand, rocks, sticks, grass – oh yes and butter that she stole in the blink of an eye!!!

We had a great time – good food, great fires and just enjoyed relaxing.

Our lap dog…..

The constant biting and drawing blood has stopped. She finally understands the word “no”. I think for the first three weeks she thought that was her name!

Last Training Session

August 20th, 2010

I think today we got our last one hour long training session in the CL-215. The fire season is coming to an end. Below is a time lapse stitched together from 520 individual still shots from a Nikon D300 on interval timer. Enjoy.

I did not do that!
