In what at first blush looks like an arcane form of elder abuse, Canadian Wilderness carpenter/everything else workman John Anderson, 83, tends to another chore at the Family-owned fishing lodge in Ontario. He's been maintaining, hosting, building for the family for 50 years and brought order and quality construction to the typically ramshackle outposts, where lumber and materials are flown in at great expense, and often pre-cut to facilitate assembly.
Winters are long in his hometown Ft. Frances, and when he's not shoveling snow or doing some other chore, John occasionally amuses himself by reading this blog and researching Rolfsrud family history. Which gives you an idea of just how boring life can be when the fish aren't biting or the bears aren't tipping the dumpsters. Despite the heat this week, the fish were biting in the over-warm waters, but we will resist any boasting, for now. Standby for trophies.
