I just heard that the sail training ship Concordia, which now calls Lunenburg home, has sunk off the coast of Brazil.
It looks like all have been saved.

Well, we’re getting our share of snow today. Must be a foot high at this point. But with the high winds, we have snow banks. But we have been very fortunite this year. We never got all those storms that the U.S. received. It was amazing to watch the weather maps and see all those [...]

Yep! Another birthday. And that would be no. 67. That was on Monday. They say that I have a 50% chance to live to 85 and a 25% chance to get to 92. But time flies so fast, I should be there in a couple of years.
My wife gave me a multimeter (Broke my last [...]

Got our bit of snow. Just 6 ins. Did my driveway with the snowblower, plus 7 more neighbours. Two of them are sick (one has a broken wrist) and the rest were at work. So I don’t mind doing it. It’s not like I have a lot to do in the winter. Anyway, that was [...]

And by that I mean I’m drying bananas in my Dehydrator.  Been doing it for a few days.  Bananas, apples and pineapples.  Love pineapple the most.  Just like eating candy. Got the fruit for half price.
Snowing out right now. Supposed to be getting 15 cm./6 ins. or so. Be this evening before I go at [...]

Right now it is 0C/32F.  I have a chore for today. Most of the wood I put on the patio has been used up.  So I have to restock.  Lots of wood at the back of the yard.  Have to get the wheelbarrow out and get at it.  After lunch, when it will be the [...]

Yes, plumbing problem. The bathtub drain is frozen. When I first bought my house, it was green. No pipe problems. Then I painted my house white and the problem started. What I did at that time was wrap a heating cord around the pipe and plug it in for the winter. That cured the problem [...]

Well Christmas is over for another year.  At my age , they come a lot faster.
Only had one snowstorm so far.  So I got a chance to use my snowblower.  It worked good but I think it should throw the snow out farther. That would mean changing a belt which is probably the original. It [...]

Went for my walk a couple of days ago and saw a friend of mine throwing out a lawn mower. He told me it wouldn’t start, so of to my house it went. Yesterday I checked it out. It was a no start. Took off the carb. and cleaned it. Still a no start but this [...]
