Mounties may get their man but I got the gold

From the land of the Bluenose.....yesterday was a hot one me son. How hot you ask? So hot that the salt cod laid out on a rack to dry were jumping back in the water and this bouy decided that a land dig was in order before work..........not. Went to a local park and dug one copper youz and was sweating so much that everytime I moved I was watering the grass so away went the Freedom 3 and out came Water Baby and into the drink did this bouy go amoungst a kazillion rug rats frolicing in the water and asking the usual questions in rapid order getting the standard answer that I was searching for leeches. Lord love a duck. Headed for deep water and clearer channels and began to swing. Lots of earings and a few coins then the Mounties got me! Didn't know they Grc (gravel road cops aka RCMP) were in the area! Man if someone stepped on this pin they would have yelled.

It was after this that the ring parade started as I netted two 10k and one silver in need of a cleaning. Think that was the spoon type and is stamped .925er.

Time to go to work came oh so quick and the thought of wearing my vest made for a fleeting thought of calling in sick but then again one has to eat and have the occasional Bud.

Take for the dig at "Kiddies World" park was 2 gold and one silver "O", 3 earings, a strawberry hair clip,key, super bouncer ball (taking that with me to the golf tournament next month, a dewy and 18 coins @ $4.88

HALT, in the name of the Crown !!

That was from "Sgt. Preston of the Northwest Mounties" T.V. serial that aired in the 1950's & early
1960's too, I think. Did you ever get to see the program in Canada ?

All of your posts are so well written. You have a real talent there. You find a lot of nice things MD'ing, and I enjoy your photos of the magnificent Nova Scotian countrysides and lakes. When I see that you have left a post I know there is a viewing treat coming up. It's a lot of hard work. I know you've earned everything you've brought home.

Also from Sgt. Preston: On King, on you huskies !!

Still got Otto?
