Zeke: Reporting for Duty!

With so many distractions in a life of adventure, business ownership, and the firehose that is blockchain and #web3, I don't check in here enough. Through the magic that IS this blockchain, I still transact daily on #blurt but it is mainly passive through my delegation to @offgridlife, who was the one who actually informed me I have a stake here years ago now.

Here's a little custom check in with some Canadian summer photography highlights exclusively for the pioneers here!

Summers are for gardening and this one was no different. Plenty of hours spent setting up, enjoying and now harvesting the last from and interesting season. We probably have much less summer and growing season than other parts of the world but 4 months is enough to grow food.




How about an escape to the Caribbean for early summer with 50 like-minded friends? Another vacation of a lifetime for me and my brother as we hopped on the Grapplers Escape to hit Curacao, Aruba and the Bahamas. This shot is not so much about the photography as the immersion in such a great group of fighters. training every day with world champions and then partying the rest of the day as a crew. I can't imagine an enjoyable weekend as well spent with the best company.




Despite almost too much vacation this weekend to attain any kind of work/life balance, there was plenty of work. Our company https://towncriermarketing.ca now has a downtown office which puts me in the middle of this quaint little city full of unique shops. Funny how thousands of people choose to spend their vacation here because of the theatre which is only 3 doors from our office, though this is where we get to work and play every day. Great progress this summer and fun views to share.




I was also blessed enough to take a family vacation out to the mountains in western Canada. This is our view of Banff up and to the east looking down on the mountain town. Such a neat little tourist trap just floating in the majesty of nature.

Hiking seems like a bit of a chore when you live in relatively flat areas but get into the mountains and canyons and I think I might be able to walk all day. Hard to worry about the uncontrollable parts of the world when you are surrounded by timeless beauty.




Speaking of surrounded with beauty, I FINALLY got back to backwoods canoe camping with a big crew. It has been quite a while since kids arrived as they are more luggage that doesn't paddle. So great to turn the good old days into living the best life right now and enjoying the moment. Gliding through the old interior, barely touched forest to camp sites where you unzip your tent to see the lake shore. What a pure Canadian gift this summer.

So many other fun things this summer that made it feel like the Dog days of summer never really arrived. Except every day where I take my little dood out to enjoy dogwars. I may not miss the mosquitos as the autumn slides in but may soon miss the warm days sitting on the grass.

Well, there is my check in! Hopefully I can work my schedule to build and be more here.
