O/T On the Road Again

[ecoaster]

The double edged sword has struck me again. It seems to be a blessing and a curse that I have gained a wealth of construction experience in my career and this, in turn, has resulted in me travelling the country from job to job. I just got the call that I have to go manage a job in Newfie. Never been to "the rock" before and I'm looking forward to it. From what I'm told the moose sighting and scenery is second to none.

I lived there for a few years. Full of brooke trout and Moose everywhere. Do not ever pass up a meal of cod tongues or jigs dinner. Both are very tasty. Also one of the few places you can hunt the Woodland Caribou. This time of year you should be able to find some rivers with some good runs of sea trout. Have fun. If you are a mumbler when you talk you will fit right in.

I hear ya Catcher. Working in the marine industry I have worked with a lot of Newfies. Great people and hard workers. I can understand them until they get a few drinks in them, then the thick tongue comes out and you can't understand a word .

Lucky you!

Been there once and would love to go again. Great people and a beautiful province. Also keep your eyes open for 'Fish and Brewis' ,another delicious local dish. Cod and scrunchins, molasses and brewis, potatoes and/or termits. Excellent fare!

Enjoy your time there and keep us posted.

That's the one place I'd like to go moose hunting. Never have hunted moose - yet.
