What’s another 12 trees?

What else can you do but feed your addiction… so out west I go!! This time to get a few bigger trees but less of them. Only 12, this time!! Large beautiful starter trees for the yard 😎

🍺 Beer Time!! 🍺

Out grow that…

Well, the tree growth over the last 7 years has been slowly starting to hide my flag … so it was time to add some extensions to get the flag back up above the trees 🌲 🌳

Hopefully, the wind doesn’t get the best of it !!

It’s that time again 😔

Sophia needs front tires again!! The crappy part is the price of new tires keeps going up!! The service from Stettler Kal-Tire (Travis) is truly an amazing experience!! There is no one better!! He understands what this car means to me. He touches her with his gentle hands and a great deal of respect!!

I just wish Turd would learn a thing or two about respecting Sophia…

Hunting

Damn it’s COLD!!

Somehow, brother John talked me in to doing a little hunting while I had a few days off. -25c sounds like perfect weather for hunting even the quads wouldn’t start!! Had to use the exhaust from the trucks to warm them up to get them to fire!! Then a slow chilly drive to the top of the hill only to see a monster moose at 690 yards downhill!! What to do? The bugger didn’t give us much time to figure out a game play before he run away!! Spent the remaining part of the day trying to stay warm. Returned the next day only to see him again but this time 800 yards!! It’s pretty clear that he is a big moose for a reason!!

Fun and Games!!

So it’s time to do the driveway!

We know it’s lots of work but we must do this to preserve the driveway! It looks like the weather is going to cooperate so we got started on Saturday morning…3/4 of Saturday (10 pails), all day Sunday (13 pails) and we still weren’t even close to finishing!! Another 12 pails during the week and FINALLY COMPLETE!!

WOW!!!!

Just what I needed…

Just what I needed to hear on my way home from hunting….”The carpet is wet in the basement!!”

Well, raced home to a wet basement!! The outside tap somehow cracked and was leaking into the wall as Joanne watered the trees. 2 1/2 months with no significant rainfall!! There’s are so dry…except the basement carpet!!

Looks like work…

Twice in a week…

Well, I can’t believe it!! The boat has been in the water twice in one week. I mentioned a boat ride to Henry and Steven while they were camped at the Delburne Golf Course and they accepted.

Had to hide the white!
Even Bugsy kinda enjoyed himself

The weather was a little cloudy so nice and warm. Great night for a little cruising, music and chit-chat.
