Buy Local – safety work footwear
Terra boots Made in Canada We continue to support local business wherever and whenever possible. So long as product or service is reasonable in price. This week it was work shoes. While the ones I have will still do for quite some time, it doesn’t hurt to have a spare set.

Truck repairs by local company
damaged fender Last year I was backing up the truck and had forgotten the trailer was still attached. The result being I jack knifed the trailer and put a sizeable dent in the fender. 🙁 I went to the dealer for a quote and they wanted to cut off the fender and “glue” on another one. The fee, over $3,000.00

Homemade wood stain
homemade wood stain I read so much about vinegar and steel wool, and finally caved in and decided to see what all the hubub was about. I used a mason jar with one wad of steel wool and filled it with white vinegar (5% acetic acid).

ready to slab some logs, chainsaw is not
Last November I bought a ripping chain for the saw, based on the bar size I had, to use for slabbing some of the smaller spruce and fir. Online retailer Bailey’s recommended one they had and I bought it. Today I went to install the chain and clearly there’s a sizing problem.

Spiral scroll saw blades
I only recently started using spiral blades myself. A few things will determine a resulting opinion.
I have a +20 yr old Ryobi saw with the set screw to clamp the blade ends. So I don’t expect miracles from the saw as a tool is only as good as the person using it. First is blade quality.

Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken Breast
Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken Breast We did half of this slow cooker recipe with 2 chicken breasts, only change was to use just one clove garlic. Slow cooked on low for 4 hrs. It sat in the unplugged cooker for about 20 min by the time we got the other dishes together. A little dry for my liking, no fault of the recipe as it could of cooked for less time. The missus liked it and that’s all that matters. (click the image for a larger picture)

Snowbound Nova Scotians
I wrote this little diddy after seeing snow pictures my sister posted on Facebook
Sung to the tune “Farewell to Nova Scotia”
***********
Chorus:
Farewell to Sno-va Scotia, the snow bound land
may your cars be parked and ticket free.
For when I am far away on the Cancun coast,
Will you ever heave a finger or a curse to me?
************My son was buried in snow to his chest,
and homeowners were cursing on every street.
Mother nature seems gone out west
So still there was no rest for me.
***********
Chorus
***********
I think to grab my shovel in hand,
I wonder how much I can endure.
And my aging bones that creak and groan,
That plow driver can kiss my ass for sure.
***********
Chorus
***********
I have the family and they’re the best,
but their arms are folded in protest.
So a poor landlubber such as me,
Will have to endure the snow neck deep.
***********
Chorus
***********
The tractor drives by and the shouting begins,
The boss he calls, I must come in.
So shovel as I go down the street,
For its only Wednesday morning as I think of spring.
***********
Chorus.
***********

These Colours Don’t Run
These Colours Don’t Run When the situation gets hot,
these colours don’t run.
When there is injustice,
these colours don’t run.
When trouble comes your way,
these colours don’t run.
When help is called upon,
these colours don’t run.
When in times of need,
these colours don’t run.
When there is little hope,
these colours don’t run.
When you need a friend,
these colours don’t run.
When in counts,
these colours don’t run.
