snapshots of my life

Canadian bass player/songwriter. Sessionist, Bass for Dale Mac. Bearded. Boy dad. Outdoorsman. Jeep enthusiast. Kitchen magician. Smells fantastic!... i work outdoors year round on the Canadian prairies. i have a knack for making food. some recipes I've made before but lots i create by the seat of my pants. i enjoy the outdoors hunting fishing camping. my jeep goes topless as often as i can and when I'm solo I'm on the motorcycle. when the touring season starts there'll be back stage photos. I'm a do it yourselfer and will post those adventures as well. I'm a single father of 3 young boys so I'm also doing my best to turn them into fine young men. sometimes i struggle but i do my best to navigate life the best way i can spread love, help people when l can, and always trying to be a better man than i was yesterday.

All my breakfast plans fell through so it was just me and my little guy... I'm glad he still humors me when i want to have a real family breakfast where we sit down and talk lol (at Cathedral) https://www.instagram.com/todd_wakefield_bass/p/CYesgRqPV65/?utm_medium=tumblr

For 4 days we had extreme cold and a huge snow dump all the while the jeep waited patiently. Snow removal pushed up a ridge of snow. It didn't care. It just waited patiently... thanks to @kustomeis.ca this manual transmission jeep has a command start. It roared to life without question. I started it before i could even see it from my cell phone. I brushed the snow off and got into a warm interior with the steering wheel and seat heat already on. All i had to do was put it in gear and it punched through that snow bank and hit the streets confidently #jeep #jeepwrangler #wrangler #sahara #manualtransmission #Saskatchewan #sask #sk #themightysk #yqr (at Regina, Saskatchewan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYHAe9Xu7NL/?utm_medium=tumblr

My first attempt at tuna steaks was a raving success. I had an idea and flew by the seat of my pants all the way to success lol... sea salt, pepper, lemon, butter and garlic fried up in a pan 😋 #meninthekitchen #mencooking #tender #juicy #yummy #yqr (at Cathedral) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXKj_osF3M4/?utm_medium=tumblr

I love this picture of my oldest boy... at his age i already had my own bike for a couple years. He saw me in the hospital last year after a motorcycle accident and still shows an interest in riding. And because it's a Honda and will last forever i hope to teach him how to ride on it. It was given to me by my father. And I'd like to pass it on to him one day. #honda #shadow #spirit #familytraditions #yqr (at Cathedral) https://www.instagram.com/todd_wakefield_bass/p/CWqyIyjPltd/?utm_medium=tumblr

There's a certain satisfaction that comes with doing things yourself. Getting Hella Yella set up for towing step 1 complete. Next step is to install the factory wiring direct from mopar. There are cheaper options but I'm after the factory appearance. #jeep #jeepwrangler #sahara #doityourself #yqr (at Cathedral) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWnvHq4FgBK/?utm_medium=tumblr
