As summer slides away, the warmth and green makes way for hockey, and a bit of childish costumer fun!

It has been mild and dry the last while but my big steps news day started out a little soggy. No doubt I soaked up a little rain during my steps but the fall colours were starting to show along the way.

Would I recommend autumn camping, even way up north? Read on and see! The good thing about living outside of the big city is that I can get to many provincial parks in an hour. An excellent drive through country roads in the fall. This time, we are headed…zekepickleman in # actifit • 24 days ago • 3 min readRide Shotgun with me on a Beautiful Fall Day!Time do do my part again this week to connect this small town with the news. Thursday means my guaranteed 10k step day visiting a bunch of cafes and news stands with a real, physical newspaper with local stories written by real local journalists.

I may be battling for the extension of summer but there are cracks in the armour. The weather has been relatively mild in the daytime in this small Canadian town but the skies hold some clouds and the evenings are dipping down into the single digit Celsius…zekepickleman in # actifit • 1 mo. ago • 2 min readFighting to Extend Summer!It was big step for me again as I fight tooth and nail for the continuance of summer.

This time it comes on the heels of another day of destructive wind! You might think that we are in hurricane alley in the Midwest instead of way up here in Canadia but we get extreme weather too! By the look of the picture above, you are probably wondering where the destruction is! This is what the sky looked like before…zekepickleman in # actifit • 2 mo. ago • 2 min readA Beautiful Late Summer Day!Adventure day again! Looks like a wonderful day when I got around to taking it but the day didn’t start like this. I had to hit the ground running for a meeting before we picked up the news we would be distributing again. This is what the sky looked like and almost promised that your travelling hero would get pissed on again this day.…zekepickleman in # actifit • 2 mo. ago • 3 min readSurvival Tips for Construction Season!Mater sais “HIYA!” from up here in his peaceful field. Even he can’t believe I have somehow broken into the top 200 @actifit users of all time! All because of consistent news delivery days and golf outings. I am kinda like the turtle that slowly and steadily wins the race when other bunnies are cranking out 10k steps every day. This…zekepickleman in # actifit • 2 mo. ago • 2 min readThe 90 Days of August!90 days of August is a term used by local restaurateurs referring to the busy season here. I like it because this month is as summery as it gets and I want that to last! You can see my weekly news pilgrimage started with some morning fog! Mercifully cool nights recently have made for great sleeps and chill mornings. By mid morning, the…zekepickleman in # actifit • 3 mo. ago • 2 min readLong Weekend Golf!Long weekends are special up here, especially during the summer time. Even more so when you get to spend some time with family, and golf is in the equation! Now, the weather really didn’t cooperate with our outing plans. 100% chance of rain in the forecast is not great for golf. That didn’t slow our wayward crew as we chased the…zekepickleman in # actifit • 3 mo. ago • 2 min readBeautiful Cool Summer Day!Welcome back to my weekly 10k adventure where I crawl around this small northern town and spread the news.

So, this week, you get a 2-for-1 and a dose of wildfire smoke! This morning, we are getting a break from the summer heat with a cool clear morning to start the day early. Last week, it was a different story. Hot…zekepickleman in # actifit • 3 mo. ago • 3 min readAll Hail the Dog Days of Summer!This week’s 10k adventure kept reminding me that we are in the dog days of summer and I should live in the moment to enjoy it. Up north, we enjoy the winters just fine because you would be in annual misery if you don’t. That being the case, we drink in the nice weather of summer that much more voraciously. The day started out much less…zekepickleman in # actifit • 4 mo. ago • 2 min readDay of Destruction!My Wednesday Walk was ceremoniously interrupted! It was Canada Day which presented an opportunity to relax in front of an afternoon ball game and a couple beers. Then the warning came in that a summer storm was about to interrupt the 33 Celsius heat wave. I looked skyward as the trees were starting to dance and saw some angry clouds.

So fulfilling helping our local multicultural association connect and…zekepickleman in # actifit • 4 mo. ago • 2 min readBack to Class?!Doesn’t it annoy you when stores start advertising Halloween in the summer? Christmas in October? Valentine’s Day in early January? My biggest early advertising pet peace is when they start promoting back-to-school in the summer.

A trip to the big city and a baseball game with an old friend was on tap! I like to make a weekend of it so we decided to head out on the town for some karaoke. Even before that, I visited one of my favourite breweries to see what’s fresh. Some good ones for the fridge I might share on…
