    Handy and Useful Tips

    We used to have a burn barrel for debris that feel from the trees etc and one year we decided to punch a hole in the bottom and attach a leaf blower to it. We then decided that we were going to burn anything we didn't want in that barrel. It was glorious!

    Transgender Day of Remembrance – November 20, 2020

    Yes, the shaming has to stop. It's an attempt at social control by those who want power as professional victims in my opinion. If people want to celebrate something, they can. Anyone can celebrate anything at any time. But you cannot force others to join in.

    Transgender Day of Remembrance – November 20, 2020

    I think people can choose to celebrate whatever cause on whatever day they like. No one is forced to celebrate it with them if they don't want to or they can join in if they wish. We're living a time time when everyone has to feel special I guess.

    Snow has arrived in SW Ontario

    Well it did not stay. I am sure that it will be back through. I had the snow blower tuned up and ready to go, but I guess that I will have to wait to use it.

    Tell me all about buying silver...

    So since my last post I went and bought a few 1 oz bars of silver. I went with silver because at 38 bucks an ounce it's affordable. Ironically, they have since gone up to 40 bucks an oz so I made a few bucks I guess. I could not afford around 2800 bucks for an oz of gold. ;) I have started...

    I've been to Cuba several times now. If you can get to the local cuisine I found it to be quite good.
