Do you realize that in about 30 (updated as requested) years, we'll have millions of old ladies running around with tattoos?

So, the canoe spent the last five years hanging in my Dad's garage, so she was a little dusty.

Today, I cleaned an waxed her.  She has been well used, therefore has many scratches where she has been dragged over rocks.  She could use a new coat of varnish in the future, however she is completely serviceable as is.

Seeing as I don't have anywhere indoors to store her, I bought a cover bag for storage.

Oh, and she is a Ranger 15.

You need another shed.   :rofl2:

That is beautiful, GBA.  A functional piece of art.

Yep.

I'd hang that thing on a wall and admire it!

You can see why I'm so excited to take it on Lake Louise and Moraine Lake.  Classic Canadiana.

Built a bag support for the Chinese moped bags that I bought for my bike trip. There is one model (sort of) available for my bike and they wanted something like $400USD. I ain't paying that! So built this one out of spare aluminum kicking around and a few bolts.

By the way, GBA, I would not leave that canoe outside in Winnipeg.  You will never see it again.

I plan on doing a bunch of camping with the fam this summer and purchased a new tent.  We have four weekends booked now and hopefully a few more as well.  I set it up in the backyard over the weekend.  It's not a small tent by any means, but I guess we'll have lots of room.  lol
