As a result of the boat show, and a few conversations in the family, we’re now the proud owners of a Sea-Doo Spark. On May 10th, our 1st weekend at the lake we’re getting ready to take it out for its maiden voyage. The weather is not the best. It’s cool/cold, overcast and a little windy. Read More …
Part 3 and hopefully the final chapter for another 30+ years. After detecting the problem in 2013 and doing the first half in 2014, it’s time to finish of the job. Pipes 3 & 4 get dug up and replaced. Scott & Eric were a huge help and made the job go so much faster Read More …
It’s August 2014 now and the problem is back. Apparently the previous years fix was just temporary and now we really need to dig into it, literally, in to it, all of it. “It” is the stuff inside the pipes in the field. There are 4 pipes going out across the field. It’s decided that Read More …
It’s August 2013 and it’s backing up. Never happened before. Another cottage 1st. The “it” is the septic field. This is not a good thing.

Between services at church today I got the privilege of spending a few special moments with Scott, Mandy, Easton and Clark. So nice to touch base and connect even for a few moments. Shared a cookie with Easton and had a nice cuddle with Clark who was so relaxed and looking around checking out Read More …
It appears that I’m a winer in the Tour of Sufferlandria! My prize? Well, interesting that you should ask. The prize is Taylor Phinney signed pair of Giro Empire shoes (Collectible – size 45) And sure enough he wears them! At first I was thinking what will I do with a pair of Read More …
I rode the IceBike today, probably my 10th or more, I’ve lost track, but I’ve got quite a few T-shirts from the events at home. For me, this year was one of the worst. Within the first couple of minutes I had a mechanical issue with chain suck that had me stopped and off the Read More …
