Closet Weapons

I have jumped onto blogger and looked back towards my last post.  Whoaaa!  Way behind here.  First an update.  I recently came from Lloydminster down to Medicine Hat, then back to Grande Prairie, and now in Weyburn Saskatchewan.  It has been extremely long drives, and tight time lines to get back and forth across the province dealing with equipment break downs and foul weather. My schedule will be to complete work here this Wednesday, drive to Grande Prairie to pick up a trailer and on to Grande Cache for Death Race check-in on Friday.  Following that, back to a small job in Redwater, up to High Level, then back to Grande Prairie.  I won’t be likely around the Kwoon any time soon, which is a shame.

One issue I am running into this year;

Walk to a park with a Katana, and you get some very strange looks and potentially a ticket for public mischief.  True, some of the problem can be avoided with a switch out to a bokken, but I really would like to get some reps in with my weapon.  I hate being in the closet with weapon practice, but the truth is, being in various unfamiliar locations across the province, it is very difficult to find a location that is private and safe for weapon practice.  Any thoughts on this?

This week I have spent in Medicine Hat, previously in Lloydminster, scheduled to move straight to Grande Praire, then back to Weyburn Saskatchewan which will run me right to the Death Race weekend located in Grande Cache at the end of the month.  Pheww. After enduring a flooded worksite, and problems with contractors over the last weekend, it has really caused me to take a step back and remember what matters most to me.  It is easy to get distracted in the work environment. 

Just when I thought I had reached an all-time low, a rainstorm goes over, lights up an awesome rainbow and all of a sudden my perspective changes.  At first thinking this was a sign I needed pizza, then looking closer and realizing this had a lot more significance to me than I initially thought. I snapped a shot of it outside my hotel door to remember it by.
