Lucky day


Day by Day No Comments »

Despite the fact it rained most of the day, and I have a sore back from the landscaping work I was doing, it turned out to be a good day.

When I got home from work, Bandit was ready for a game of frisbee. There was no debate on the issue. After all, he had a hard day guarding my house while I was gone and needed a little recreation. It’s sort of his way of going for a beer after work to unwind. Read the rest of this entry »

Beginning renovations


Day by Day No Comments »

Nothing cheers up a rainy day like power tools, sledge hammers, crowbars, dust and a wall that needs to be knocked down.

I was supposed to be landscaping today, but the weather is not exactly co-operating with any outdoor activities. So indoor fun and games were the only option.

I’m not exactly sure what I want to do to Grannma Dot’s house, but I felt the urge to knock down a wall. Read the rest of this entry »

Sunday afternoon B-B-Q


Day by Day, Photos 1 Comment »

On Sunday afternoon, Graham, Ivy and Natasha came over for a while. It was a sunny afternoon (which turned sort of drab and cold later on) but we bar-b-qued some burgers and had a couple of beers.

Natasha, as usual, didn’t want too much to do with me. I’ve decided that’s okay. It’s one less Christmas gift to buy :wink: Read the rest of this entry »

The robin’s nest


Day by Day, Photos No Comments »

I’m posting a couple of photos of my new boarders here. A pair of robins have built themselves a nest on top of the front porch light. I don’t mind, they don’t complain about the plumbing, the old paint, or anything else. We haven’t worked out the rent payment details yet. I don’t expect that to be a problem.

They do get up very early in the morning though, and since their nest is pretty much right outside my bedroom window, sleeping in past 4:30 AM is out of the question. Read the rest of this entry »

Waxed toilet paper


Day by Day No Comments »

I understand that public washrooms are designed as a convenience, and not as one of the top tourist attractions you must visit when you are in the local mall, department store or service station. Generally, I avoid them, because you just never know what you might find, or worse yet what might find you. Read the rest of this entry »

First offical day of retirement


Day by Day, On Retirement 2 Comments »

Today (apparently) is my first official day of retirement.

I thought I was still an employed person until the end of May, but apparently they way payout of vacation and other stuff works, yesterday was my last day. Not that it matters – either way, I was not going to work today. Read the rest of this entry »

The New Internet Thing-a-ma-jiggy


Day by Day No Comments »

On Thursday of last week SaskTel told me that they wanted to replace my old modem with one of their new hi-speed wireless router internet access units.

When they asked me if I wanted to have someone come and install it, or save the $25.00 and do a “self-install” I figured that I know enough about computers that it should be an easy task.

They assured me that all I had to do was unplug the old one, and plug the new one in. I’m not stupid. Nothing is that easy. Read the rest of this entry »

Stacey and Phil’s Wedding Photos


Day by Day, Photos No Comments »

About five months ago Stacey asked if I would take photos for her wedding this spring. I said I would, but I wouldn’t guarantee anything.

The big day was last Saturday, and if I do say so myself, some of the pictures turned out quite well. Of course, I took close to 500 photos throughout the day, so there has to be a few good ones. Read the rest of this entry »

Sunset photos on Buffalo Pound Lake


Day by Day, Photos 3 Comments »

Despite the fact Bandit the Wonder Dog and I acted as tick bait (I mentioned yesterday I hated wood ticks) I did manage to get some good photos of the sunset setting over Buffalo Pound Lake.

The pictures were taken at the old causeway on #2 Highway. Read the rest of this entry »
