Early Morning Kayaking
I took a paddle down to the bay at the bottom of our point to be with the wildlife and nature as the sun rose. With a coffee on board it was a leisurely paddle with fog rolling across the water in the coolish 3°.

Fishing with Grandkids & Friend
Two days of fishing just around the corner of our point yielded 15 bass in short order, lots of action! The three boys kept me busy getting fish off the hook and into a bucket. /im
High Mileage Week
Funny how we still say “mileage” when things are typically measured in kilometres. Kilometerage certainly sounds funny and I don’t think it’s even a word. Anyway, this week my mileage was about twice the typical week at 425km thanks to a FROG (77km), FOG (95km), solo ride (82km) and my Ride to Conquer cancer (160km) Read More …
Ride to Conquer Cancer
2022 is the 15th anniversary of Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer to raise funds for Princess Margaret Cancer Centre research and my 2nd ride. Not being in Toronto it’s a bit of a solo event as opposed to the fully supported ride from Toronto to Hamilton on Day 1 and then on to Niagara Falls Read More …
Col de route secondaire trois
There is this hill. It’s on branch road 3 off the main Storm Bay Road. It’s steep but mercifully short. It’s always at the end of a ride coming home, when there is a little less in the tank. There are two pitches with a short less steep bit in the middle to try and Read More …

Formula 1
Surprised that I’ve not done a post about my F1 addiction. After watching a lot of Drive to Survive while in Toronto hospital last year I find F1 fascinating. Probably the most interest in any sporting event in my life so far. I’ve never followed a sport his closely before. For whatever reason I was Read More …
Kitchen Update No: 3
Today was the templating day where they come out and measure your kitchen exactly for the new countertop. Originally scheduled for around 10:30 there was a cancellation so Larry, the person doing our templating, is able to arrive at around 9 am We were told by some other folks that they would make a cardboard Read More …
Kitchen Update No: 2
Tomorrow the installers arrive to template for the new quartz countertop. That mean that I need to remove the old countertop before they arrive. Several sections of countertop are easily removed. Just unscrew from underneath, cut off some silicone sealant and off comes the tops. Then there is the more interesting section, the “L” shape Read More …
