Float Planes, Water Bombers, and Houses on the Water

Arrived in Yellowknife a few day's ago attempting to get a job rolling and places to train besides my room. As far as work goes, you couldn't ask for a better jobsite that is right beside the lake. The only draw back at the present moment is truckloads of steel and materials that are sitting on the highway. Sitting because of the 176 forest fires that are burning up pretty much everything including the roads. It's pretty sad the amount of forest fires burning in western Canada right now. Water Bombers are flying over continuously, fueling up and back out. I have to commend the brave men and women that are fighting those fires from above and on the ground. I hope they all come home safe.

As far as my training goes at the present moment all it has been in my room. I have scoped out some walking trails that are of various terrains I intend to run on. I hoping that I can find some isolated areas and use one of Sihing Krebb's suggestions of reaching a destination and doing forms or anything pertaining to Kung Fu. I also located the local rec center so I'll check that out too.

I did manage to smuggle my Long Axe in the sea can so I could keep my weapon form sharp. I have figured out a few blocks and strikes that I want to add into the form. This once again however poses a challenge. Without going into specific details, you have to really watch where you train here, let alone swinging an axe around. Fortunately one of the guy's on the crew used to live here, so he is helping me find an isolated spot.

Well that's all I have for now, more to come and hopefully some pics or videos. I hope you are all doing well in your training and enjoying summer.
