The Cottage story … a work in progress. The family cottage on beautiful Lake of the Woods was the brain child of my dad.

Just a fun loving guy who’s interested in technology, passionate about family, and a follower of Christ. The blog started a long time ago when we were family camping and I had an experience with one of my sons that made me realize how fast time is going by, hence the title, Tempus Fugit. I Read More ...

In addition to this blog I have a presence on several other online services for some of my various interests. Photography. The bulk of my online photography is over on Flickr. For the family, there are a couple of special albums that are dedicated to the grandkids. Parker Easton Dane Clark Other album collections are Read More ...
I’m glad to be heading home, its been a good week and very worthwhile but home is best. I’m looking forward to home cooking even if its my own. Resteraunts and caffeterias are OK once in a while but not for long. Shirley’s cooking is the best! I did an eBoarding pass with Westjet for Read More …
So much for the intention of blogging something every day. What happened to Day 2? Not much to report from TO., except a warning about taxi drivers. Since we don’t have a car on this trip we’ve been cabbing it the short trip from the hotel to the Agfa office. The trip can be anywhere Read More …
It’s been a while since I’ve been in Toronto on business but this afternoon I flew in for four days of education with Agfa for a project I’m working on with two other team members. The flight down on Westjet was uneventful except for the guy in the middle seat who thought he owned the Read More …
Amero, Debut of the amero The euro followed the same blueprint of stealth and surprise. It was already issued as replacement currency before the masses could coalesce to fight it. Goodbye loonie, hello ‘amero?’ A common North American currency would bring about lower long-term interest rates, greater price stability and improved trade, says a new Read More …
The weather was good today, sunny, warm for the time of year and light breezes. I slept until the sun poked through the clouds and into my room. It seemed like I’d slept in quite late, but it was only 9am. After a few cups of blender grind coffee and some scrambled eggs and toast Read More …
I arrived at the lake very early this morning about 2:30am. After lighting the fire and turning on the heat and watching Edmonton beat Calgary, I went to bed in a very very cold bed. Lying very still, I warmed up a small section and drifted of to sleep. In the morning it’s a cloudy Read More …
Just five riders turned out for the FOG ride yesterday, and after Lockport there were just four of us. It was warmer this week than last, but still fairly cool at about +3 and a light wind. One of the riders drove in from Brandon to join the ride, quite dedicated for a cool late Read More …
I’ve been working at getting my “stuff” under control and as part of that I’ve read GTD and am working at getting is implemented and established as a habit in my life. So far, it’s going fairly well, but time will tell. Hey Google, runs GTD courses for it’s employees! An empty email in-box seems Read More …
Today, may have been the last ride with FOG (they really need to jazz up the website). It was -4 at the start and about 14 guys started the ride. By Lockport, a mere 45 minutes into the ride we lost a few and 10 carried on over the Lockport bridge to Birdshill park. This Read More …
Wave Crashes Originally uploaded by Big Dadoo I thought I’d post this picture just to show that I’m actually using the camera. Just as I was arriving at the lake last night, Eric called by cell to ask if I had the camera. Then this morning Scott calls the cottage to ask if I have Read More …
