Happy Canadian Thanksgiving
A general forum for anything related to flying the backcountry. Please check first if your new topic fits better into a more specific forum before posting.
Today is our Canadian Thanksgiving Day. We celebrate our Thanksgiving a month earlier than our friends to the south because we are so fart north. If we wait until November the turkeys have frostbite and the pumpkins are frozen so hard the only thing they are good for is making pumpkin ice cubes for our drinks.
Today we eat fresh turkey and pumpkin pie and pour our Canadian whiskey over clear ice cubes.

A few years back, the wife and I took a weekender for my birthday to Vancouver. We were surprised to learn that it was Canadian Thanksgiving! We were staying in Coal Harbor and this little upscale market had the most amazing deli with the whole Thanksgiving menu.
I have to say, I don't mind celebrating Thanksgiving twice.

Half a century spent proving “it is better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.”

Happy Thanksgiving! We celebrated a bit yesterday. Working today, be it at a more leisurely pace.
