The cool cap will NOT make me play better. This Lefty can't seem to play... Maybe, a shot of juice will help Lefty sing... maybe even backup for K&Klapton with my "Sparkly Boobies" T-Shirt ... Men may remember this shirt and the uproar it caused in my classroom...
Sometimes, like shown above, I wish we only had K&K's "Original Computer"...
Memory was something you lost with age
An application was for employment
A program was a TV show
A cursor used profanity
A keyboard was a piano
A web was a spider's home
A virus was the flu
A CD was a bank account
A hard drive was a long trip on the road
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived
And if you had a 3 inch floppy
You just hoped nobody ever found out!?!

... to have a glance behind the wall, click on the picture above. Jens seems to have a very relaxed time ...
This side of our wood shed was empty 2 days ago. It looks much better now. This is mostly alder wood (Erle in German).
Easy to split while fresh. It is white when freshly cut but turns orange by the time we get home.
Wood cutting day 2. Rain in the night, fishing during the day? Hope my Toyota boot doesn't sink ... little Randy would have loved to play in this pool!
We made it, probably thanks to the new licence plate.
Hard working girl in "the Land of the Lord" - that's how European news call now the US of A's. All because of the religious wrongs. Thanks A's!

The East Coast Music Awards (ECMA) are used to showcase diverse music talent in my region of Canada, which is away from the spotlight of Toronto and Montreal in central Canada. This year there is an ECMA Radio station which is, in part, powered by BIKE POWER! Click on the photo above for a video clip describing the awards and the "Green Radio" station.
No rain today - perfect for cutting firewood! While riding my mountain bike last week I saw that a crew was thinning up here. Adele called the Forest Service and a permit was faxed to the local office here in town.
Our first load. We really appreciate the rear roll-up door of our garage.
It makes it very easy to unload the firewood and stack it in the wood shed.

If you have rechargeable Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) batteries that won't hold a charge, don't trow them away. There is an easy battery fix. It will save you money and help reduce waist. Click here for instructions.
Just as in real life, it takes sometimes more that just an easy fix. All 6 of my batteries that went bad during the last months couldn't get fixed that way. I am using Craftsman 19.2 Volt Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) batteries for my cordless power tools. There are 2 parts in the battery pack that can die. One is a thermistor which increases as temperature increases. It is about 14K at room temperature. The other one might be some kind of CIRCUIT PROTECTION. That was the main problem on all my batteries. I couldn't find a replacement so I cut it off and soldered the wires together without that part. All defective batteries are taking now a full load again after I reconditioned them. See Instructions link above.
Saved me lots of $ - 1 new battery is around $40.00

The story of the "Seal Cove dolphins" has seen world-wide attention. Here in our area, there has been great debate and anger that the "experts" wanted to sit idle, and let nature take its course. The morning before the above video was shot, on my commute to work the mayor of the town was on CBC Radio (public radio in Canada) pleading the government wildlife / environmental agenices to do something, as the combination of winds and temperatures had encroached the pack ice even closer on the dolphins, and they were doomed for sure without some type of rescue effort. The feeling in the small town (approx. 750 residents) was that it was better to do something - try to help, even if they fail - rather than simply watch the dolphins die, inevitably. There was even a town meeting called. Evidently, you see the decision that was made: If the "experts" were going to do nothing and watch the animals die, the smalltown residents would not.
There have been no news postings / updates since these last two stories. It is up for debate as to what is the true fate of the dolphins, if they managed to survive once they were allowed to get to open water.
Since the efforts shown in the video, this area of the province had another winter storm blow through. The storm with onshore winds would have sealed the tiny hole in the ice that was allowing for the dolphins to surface and breathe. Me... I'm glad the dolphins got the chance.
Cheers,

Winter's not actually a chore... sure, you've got to shovel a bit of snow, but believe it or not, it's not a bad way to start a day. And picking apart a dead snowblower and then watching it work again is actually pretty cool. Then again, I am nuts. But hey: crazy... AND LOVIN' IT!
Today is my day off. Friday (Freitag) translated from German means "day off" - there you go!
Ma wife said she married a child. Does black make me look younger Kathy?
A sidekick for Murray: You need to get a recumbent (small front, large rear wheel) blower. They do a bitchen job. After blowing away all that white shit you do another run and mow that green stuff short. I know some people would smoke it off.

Hmmm, I think my preaching days are over!
