Hey gang.
A rough couple of days for me, gastro troubles, upper and lower, I won't go into details..............you're welcome.
December was my head smashing fall, January was my nearly 2 week respiratory deal, can't wait to see what March brings.

In other news, bacon prices here in the USA are the lowest in a decade, something about tariffs, but we won't go into that.

Good morning all. Hump day already for those of us who still work and for those who don't it is just another day to eat bacon and not buy a K-3. I am finally getting time to go through some of my holiday pictures. So need to do post-processing on a kick-butt work station rather than a flunky laptop.

Happy hump day. I've got this one trussed on the floor, but it still is rather violent in its resistance while I slowly pull its teeth one by one.

Oh, and happy processing

That's rough. Let's hope Spring brings easier times, eh.

Those shoes don't look too comfortable, Charlie. How do you manage to keep your balance?

It frightens me to think that your mind would even wander that way but heck, from someone who celebrates Hump Day with trussing and teeth-pulling, it is expected I suppose.

Don't miss it, coolest video I've seen in awhile.
Warning, it's alt-country, but don't let that stop you.

I grew up in Montreal and would never go back; it is just too big. Ottawa is still relatively small and it is clean and pretty downtown. There are some nice little towns not too far away that would be nice to retire to....Almonte is one of them

eddie1960 · 02-20-2019, 07:52 AM

i have researched the quebec side a bit. some nice ski areas and inexpensive compared to the ones near toronto

I’m kicking myself for not getting some photos of the pile at the Big Shed. It was about that high before it settled.

Now a crew is slowly scooping it into that snowmelting machine.

Still, it is gonna take some time to dispose of it all.
