    Building a House with Wood

    Our cedar deck is 17 years old and definitely showing its age. Still walkable but looks a bit sketchy. Never painted or stained (hey, it is cedar, why bother?). Dumbest thing we did was pressure wash it, this raised the grain and opened it up to holding water and decay. Had we treated it with...

    Do you have a sign out? "Clean fill wanted" signs are very popular here. Usually created with spray paint on a piece of plywood.

    Silverball Arcade: Asbury Park NJ, 08/09/24

    Very cool, what a fine way to spend a day. Did the arcade have any of the early digital games, like Asteroids, Galaxian (personall fave) or Frogger?

    Today’s Paddle

    Ha, opiated is a funny way to describe her. She is pretty chill once in the canoe but getting her in is a different story. She is not a big fan of the water, will wade in a bit to get a drink but that's about it. I've coaxed her to wade in up to her chest on occasion but then she freaks out and...

    The Fire and Rain and Smoke Thread

    The fire in Jasper is devasating. Latest reports are that perhaps 50% of the structures in the historic town are destroyed. One of my friends from school days was general manager of the well-known Maligne Lodge for many years, it has been completely vapourized. He retired last year but has to be...

    For my birthday micro-adventure, I drove into the back of beyond and enjoyed a nice paddle and hike withe the dawg. A 1990 Blackhawk Zephyr that I have owned since new. Such a joy to paddle: Moira in the canoe. She hates the PFD is is much better behaved without it:

    Today's Ski Jumping

    Cool! Though I would not want to take a sliding fall on whatever material they are landing on. Talk about rug burn.

    They found Glen Plake at the TDF

    Plake is an awesome role model for all us old farts. Of course, he is well funded, which helps.

    Dog Thread

    Also this. Some Atta history and background. A local eccentric I know posted this on my Facebook birthday post for Moira. He is a very interesting fellow but also a little bit obsessive and maybe a bit crazy. Loves the dog, though: What a great Northern Dog you are Moira! '...and 'such great...

    There was a huge DeBeers diamond mine there, now shut down and being rehabilitated. The town does have a trust fund from mining profits but there is some controversy over how it is managed. Like many Indigenous communities, they are in need of clean water, quality housing and job opportunities...
