Sunday morning...

So how did you spend your Sunday morning? In my case it started with a telephone call advising me that our Air Inuit “pop charter” was landing in 45 minutes. For you un-initiated southern types that means that the store has run out of soft drinks that were brought in on sealift last summer. When that happens and there is still too much time before the first ship of this year we fly it in. That’s right… 1,100 12 packs of Pepsi, Coke and other assorted flavours and just about the only item that actually uses up more litres of fuel to fly in than the total litres of pop actually carried.

Oh, and I was lucky in that we had some great guys to offload and move it all into the warehouse for us. Big THANKS to Danny, Josh and Bobby.

By the way… the freight alone on each of these individual cans is just about equal to what you pay for an entire 12 pack on sale at your local “big box” department store!
