1 to 21
All in one day we went from a rainy morning to 1° with snow at 11,000 ft to 21° and a sunny afternoon to sitting around a camp fire in t-shirts at 9pm. What a day! We’ve crossed the Rockies, seen the Colorado National Monument and driven Scenic Route 128 along the Colorado River into Read More …
Posting frequency
Not that my blog posts have any frequency or pattern at the best of times but, for the next week or two I might be a little more frequent as we’re on a road trip in the south western USA. The order might be a little jumbled as well as the upload is dependent on Read More …
Bicycle Lanes – Blessing or a Curse?
Bike lanes have been showing up around Winnipeg, especially the downtown area over the last couple of year. Until recently, even though a couple of these lanes have been on my normal commuting route, I’ve not given them too much thought. Nice to have, but I was a little indifferent. Then the city created a Read More …
Closing
It seems like such a short time ago that we were opening the cottage for the season and here we are, putting it to bed for the winter. Hardly seems right when we’re enjoying a breezy +25° on the deck. I’ve put some of the boats away and Shirley has done some packing and year-end Read More …

I was on a hike with Shirley and some friends on the Tunnel Island trails which is a beautiful hiking area between Keewatin and Kenora. The trails are well used, especially by folks walking their dogs. It’s been a while since we’ve been out on the trails, and now they are very well signed with Read More …
Traffic
This struck me as a little strange. Perhaps it’s the result of too many law suits, but do we really need to be warned that there may be “two-way traffic” on a door to the Mens Room? Seemed a little self evident to me. What do you think?
Afternoon on The Lake
We’re making the most of this awesome fall weather and taking Friday off and hanging out at The Lake. We got away a little late on Thursday night and arrived Friday morning at 2:30 a.m. so this required some mandatory sleeping in. Up at about 10:30 and after a couple of cups of coffee and Read More …

FOG ride
Yesterday’s ride with the FOG crew was the 1st in a number of weeks as I’ve been at the lake on most weekends, and did the Muddy Waters Grand Forno on one of the weekends that I was in town. The weather looked very nice early in the morning, with a little coolness in the Read More …
