Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Sunset at Jan Lake

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – When Politics Gets Hairy (January 2013)

Went to a meeting of my local constituency association tonight and was very impressed, not just with the big turnout on a frigid night but some of the numbers I’m hearing about fundraising and volunteers. Not sure if I’ll ever have as much fun as I did being part of the Ryan Meili leadership campaign […]

Random Thoughts From A Cold Snap

The picture above is pretty much the main reason we have kids – to make them do the jobs we don’t want to do! 🙂 I wish Dyson made “air blade” hand dryers but body-sized. I put money in a parking metre today and it literally took two seconds to register each coin I put […]

Music Monday – “Good job getting the bags ready/Take your time/Take your time”

A big cold snap in Saskatchewan has got me thinking about Mexico and all our previous trips… Here’s a montage someone made of Cancun and Isla Mujeres… “Shlow Motion” – Oomiee

Winter Wonderland

I think Shea and I are going to enjoy having a beautiful green white space outside our back door in our new house!

What first snow of the year? “Hips Don’t Lie” – Shakira

2019 Edition of “First Snow of the Year” – Hawksley Workman

It created a pretty magical “snow globe” effect at the Heritage Classic last night, continued to fall through the night and it’s always a bit of a judgement call but it feels like it’s time to do my annual post of this song as it feels like the snow is here to stay again for […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Christmas Card House (December 2014)

It’s not quite “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” level decorating and I really should’ve gotten my butt up a ladder and extended the lights in that cedar tree in the front of our house right to the top. But I’ve always liked coming home to a snow-filled yard, some green and red floodlights, a blow-up decoration […]

Flooded Campsite

When we got to Nickle Lake Regional Park last Friday, we could see that there’d been a big downpour and there was a lot of standing water in some of the lower lying areas of the campground. When we got to our site, there was a bit of water in our site but nothing major […]

Putting The “Bin” In Cabin

A husband and wife who are retired farmers decide to convert the grain bins they can’t sell into very unique rental cabins. I wasn’t much of a farmer growing up but I did shovel out a few bins in the summer, often in extreme heat (if it’s hot outside, it’s *extremely* hot in the bin) […]
