Mark and Wayne are hard at work this morning assembling Sue's new shed. The original idea of a wood storage area morphed into a full fledged project. Ha. So while they are busy with that, let me tell you about a local celebrity we met while fishing.
Kenora's own, Mike Richards, is a hockey star. He played, at an early age, with the Kenora Minor Hockey league before being drafted in 2001.
Mark and Julie were fishing just around the bay from Chippy's Hollow where Mark caught this big walleye.
There's a lovely cottage high on a rocky ledge that Julie admired. Anyway, a fishing boat came near us while we were in the Crestliner ... "Hey, are you catching anything here?" said Mike. Of course, Mark and Julie, not being familiar with local celebrities just chatted him up like any fellow fisherman. He was very nice ... had a kayak strapped to his fishing boat, and later returned in his kayak and talked to us again.
Mike Richards in front of Husky the Muskie in downtown Kenora. A homegrown hero and all around good guy.
Tonight, a large meteor shower is expected! Our plans are for dinner, Cribbage and meteor watching at 11. Lets see if we can stay awake that late!!! LOL
