We heard that this year’s Salmon run (In Salmon Arm, BC) was going to be the largest in 100 years so we took a trip up this weekend… pretty cool.

He now weights 33lbs and had his first hair cut. He still looked like a puppy until then, now he’s a teenager... **sigh** they grow-up so fast:).Loves the water, looking forward to camping this year.

He wasn’t very happy about it but at 11 weeks we gave Pilot his first bath. At first he seemed ‘ok’ with water, mostly about drinking it. I found it odd that even though he hasn’t ever seen water more than his dish, just before I dropped him in the tub his legs started paddling. As soon as the water hit more than his legs he wanted nothing to do with it, the soap just added to his urgency to

Introducing the Campbell family's newest member “Pilot”. He flew in to Kelowna on Sunday, October 11th at 5:00pm. Pilot is a Soft Coated Wheaton Terrier and is 2 months old. After getting him home and opening the crate door in our living room... nothing. It took about a half hour to get him to come out... the photos kind of show his progression. He’s now exploring our living room and had his

Being in Network Security, I have to think about all kinds of ways someone could hack into a network. As it turns out, the biggest security breach is the staff from inside our network. Here’s a little story that happened to me to help prove my point. Not too long ago I was in a Starbucks having a nice cup of coffee, I really enjoy coffee. It was dim and quiet, except for one guy on his cell,

Sheila’s job allowed us an opportunity to take a ride in a helicopter today. I’ve always wanted to so I’m all over it!Lost a bit of sleep thinking about it for the week leading up to the trip... had the theme song for Magnum P.I running through my head, picturing me, Rick and A.J flying away from the bad guys.

This last Labor Day long weekend Sheila and I left for Washington to go camping. As we’re driving over the Kokahala Highway, an hour before Merritt BC, we run into snow! In August, it’s crazy up there.

What a great trip!Friday, July 28th we took off from Kelowna at 3am (6 am) and headed up to Spectrum Lake for three days. Because of the 14 hour hike (2.5 hour) that was almost vertical (it was fairly flat) and the fact that we could only carry about 180lbs (40ish lbs) on our back we weren’t able to bring a lot with us, completely ruffing it.The first day, after the travel and hike, we didn’t do

What a great day!We rented a boat this past Saturday for Lynn’s Birthday (Happy Birthday Lynn!) on Kalamalka Lake, just outside of Kelowna. The weather was perfect, next to no wind and hot. We were out ripping all over the lake for the afternoon, sunburn and bruises to prove it.Here are a few of the photos of the dayHEREAnd a little video of me tossing Rob of the tube in less than 10 seconds…

Well, it had to happen sometime… odds were against me, it was inevitable. I can only be the guy who pulls Pathfinders out for so long before I need to be pulled out myself and, very humbly, here it is.

Sheila and I went out to a friend’s (Julie and Rob) ranch just outside Armstrong BC on Easter Monday to meet a horse that was named after me (long story). Julie and Rob breed horses for racing here in the Okanagan Valley with good success which is also really cool… but not the point of this story.I’ve never experienced anything quite like it. Every horse I’ve ever met in the past has been timid

Here are a few pictures of Sheila and my journey to the Caribbean this month. Our friends Rob and Lynn joined us, looking at some of our trips over this last couple of years you’d think they were fun to travel with or something:). Rob had filmed the trek and made an amazing video, kind of a summary of the whole trip… I hope to get it posted soon as well.Our itinerary looked like this;Landed in

I was in Prince Albert this week visiting my Mom and thought I would share one of our adventures.One morning I saw this BIG black and red… thing in her apartment. I went to get something to kill it with and when I got back it was gone. We searched everywhere; it was nowhere to be found. Of course all day I was freaked, feeling it on me or seeing it somewhere… but nothing. I knew it was watching…

I don’t really know what to say beyond what the pictures will tell you of the result but Pathfinders do make the photos for our journey more interesting… thanks Michael :)This is the start of the trek (Rob & Lynn) , notice how everything is clean.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything to my Blog so I thought I would get started again with something we did last weekend, we as in “our bad selves”. It may look funny but the fun! The whole gang zipping around “beeping” at everyone. We spent two hours, non-stop “zipping” for a whole $1.80 in fuel…

Amazing new pictures of Saturn taken by NASA's "Cassini" spacecraft. Cassini launched on Oct. 15, 1997… and it’s still 111 million kilometers from Saturn. Total trip to Saturn is in about 3.5 billion Kilometers… At a total cost of $3 billion to build, let’s see… I guess that’s not bad mileage. It is the largest interplanetary spacecraft ever constructed by NASA. It measures 6.8 m in length and

Sheila and I ride together most of the time so I had to look for a bike that would be comfortable for the passenger… tough to do when you’re looking for something that will perform and look good; this bike definitely has both covered nicely.
