A rare specimen of Boothius Austinus was spotted at the boathouse this weekend.

A thermal spectroscopy study revealed several defects in the ice field.

Water over the ice, water under the ice, it's an ice sandwich. Melt!!!

Aleks, can I get a temporary UBC membership???

Happy Holidays to all! The wrist is finally on the mend...

After the weekend thaw, water returned to it's liquid form in the basin. (Still suitable for hockey upstream, though)...

Sometimes I think impure thoughts...

Frozen, definitely frozen.

And to think, two months ago, I was passing two or three people there.. :(

The basin is looking decidedly closed for business...

I can only wish that that were my car...

This is what broken dreams are made of..

Fortunately, the weather "cooperated" for once. Now, can someone tell me which pile of snow is my car?

And today, when the ice started to melt, I found a patch of ice... Good work, Igor!

According to my calculations, a goose weighs more than a seagull, and therefore, we are more screwed.

I found someone to blame for the weather!

Well, at least the Harbor isn't frozen. Yes, that is a crab in the sea gull's beak.

Good like in Lucerne, Dave!!! And don't forget to write and email chocolate. :)

And we are officially closed... BOOOOOooooooooooo!

Boooooooo

Pretty sure this was still on Saturday, but that's too many posts for one day.

Making the Awards Presentation Happen One Theft at A Time.

I thought Greg was in New Jersey, or was it Colorado? And I thought Halloween was in October...

At some point, things on this river started to take a turn for the worse. Probably not on this day, but give me a break, I am back filling.

It was a little foggy this morning...

I think I was supposed to be on that plane. :(

Evil obstacle #3.

Lovely sight that I hope to never see again from this angle.

Evil obstacle #2.

Heading over to UBC to launch for the Foot. View from the foot bridge.

Evil obstacles on the river, take 1.

Let the great blog backfilling begin.

It's 8am, school buses are everywhere, including the Charles. Check out the reflection..

Sunset over the Charles.

RBC South checks in with this lovely image. Cam, we are booking flights as I type.

It's all about the Peanut Butter (Cup).

I think Pete needs to send me some pics from Italy, because it's been REALLY low key around here. Except for all the shit we've been talking about the Peanut Butter Cup. But other than that, borrrrrrrrrrring.

Ok, I think that's about enough. Sort of entertaining how the same piece of river looks at the same time on different days.

Duck racing.

And more pointless survery pictures:

Conducting a week long survey of the powerhouse stretch, or until a better picture opportunity turns up.

November can be a wonderful sort of thing in New England!

The docks are a lot emptier these days... Darn...
p.s. the comic restoration process is in progress. 150 have been restored. "Only" 700 to go.

Taken earlier, but very exciting, nonetheless-Mike's got some real oars!!!

This was before afternoon practice. The after was posted on Monday.

"Hey, dude, look what I found! See, I told you I wasn't the anchor in the boat!"
(Acutally, these two gentlemen definitely look like they knew their way around a pair)
