Walk in the rain for Dixie's morning route

Dixie doesn't want to go out by herself. I get it, I put on my shoes put the fresh pot of coffee on a thermos.  And get out the door. Enjoy a book and coffee. Walk 👉✅ Going by this house, kids come out and jump in a vehicle and look at someone walking a dog. Poor dog 😢.  I smile and think of the freak out Dixie is going to do when she gets inside. She is going to have a full-blown energy fit after this walk.  As I say this, she is going to town on her stuffy and throwing it and flinging it around the house. A few times I just had to wipe the camera and go, this is pointless; thee lens is going to get dropped on by the time the timer goes off. Yet the number of photos taken and some did get blurred.  It only happens to put the perspective on how much is coming down. The rain forecast is supposed to go on for a few days as I got lead on with my wife on the matter yesterday that it was raining for a few days. The garden will be edible after it. At the beginning of the...

E bike or motorbike

As I write this your like right.  Yah right. Ok I have been looking at bikes for awhile.  I wish I could get a gas bike.  Yet for 3 times the cost for entry even for scooter it's too much. I go electric automobile is now cheaper to buy than a fuel automobile.  They say by 2020 electric output of cars will make oil and gas never return economically.  We are in 2020.  You all should look up a Google search of an ebike They look cool, you pedal and you get energy to move, like a mopeds but more interesting. Ok it's a moped👉👍✅😉  They have really gone a long way and have improved, affordably and technology. It's not called cheating it's called assisted. Hahaha. I have seen them. I saw them when I was working at Bow Cycle in Calgary many years ago. They used be as much as a motorbike or scooter, now they are 1/3 the cost. Not school yard bike And now I am looking at these They look cool, I have been looking at motorbikes but can't afford one  Some of...

Saturday Drive

At a Cenotaph for oil and farmers in champion. We finish went to little bow.  Yet they have a no dog policy.  So we left after we ate some crackers and cheese.  Will get there, I'm sure if we are fighting over fries, it's my fault.  No lie, I will admit it, it's my fault. Kim looking at the signs, family could of made those signs and ability resources center could of put in the frames for the Hamilton.  There was a recycling shed the is open for the town and looks always open.  Thinking the city gets it picked up with ability resource centre and I smile as we go by. Walk around the town. Telling Kim that these Hamilton's everyone watch's you come into the city and leave.  All wondering who is visiting the city of 50 houses.  Everyone knows everyone.  It's gossip completion.  Everyone knows everyone. I go quite the show, every thing around these cities for miles is owned by one farmer.  That's worth millions. Like 100 million at leas...

Smokeless Jerky

The Instant Pot Air Fryer and Dehydrator  The wife asks to go but an air fryer a while ago. https://www.cnet.com/google-amp/news/instant-pot-air-fry-lid-adds-a-new-dimension-to-the-instant-pot/ Kim and I get talking which appliance we could get rid of to trade of space.  We could decide between to instant pot devices. Turns out you could get a lid or our device, it's still a bit different from the device link below. https://www.buzzfeed.com/hannahloewentheil/instant-vortex-air-fryer-review-instant-pot Ours will dehydration of meat to make beef jerky.  We get stewing beef and go to town on our sauce. We have made a few batches of it.  No pictures.  We ate it all.  Goes quick, takes about 3 hours with our recipes. And a couple trays later we have Jerky. Friends have told me similar machines with smokeless BBQ or radiant heat stuff like that. We stuck with Instant Pot, which it's a Canadian appliance.  And they are leading the appliance for a company....

Dog Walk, built a Gate and the infamous 20 pages left of book

Dixie and I go for a walk. Not much else to say here,besides a few photos and since the garbage can lid is up.  One can rest there phone on the garbage can and take a photo. There were a couple times that worked out.  The other problems arised and the phone fell of the lid of the can on the asphalt. A few of these photos were quiet fun to take, other times Dixie would make the camera shot difficult going and smelling a spot while the phone had a 10 second timer. Might go for another walk or do my pushups ✅. None the less as of today.  I should get on doing those pushups. The wind kept the bugs down.  Made the heat good to walk in with out over heating. Dixie is laying down and I am sure it will be ok. It's sort of tense, we want to see family, yet the hard thing about it is travel and outings.  It's nerve racking on how much it entails.   At 11 I worked on a gate and fence. Until 3, and I got enough sun there.  We made the gate look incredible....

Saturday fire

Sitting by the fire 🔥 Dixie has her stick and the fire started. Watching a storm rolling in with thunder in the distance and having a fire while a few or morw drops come down in a soon to be rain storm. It's a cool event, that needs to be experienced in summer, there's places it's absolutely amazing when it happens.  Then some times is nice to be in it anywhere. To be expected is some delight 😉 to the commotion of the day. Kim's friend came over and I come in and out to put wood 😁 on the fire 🔥 pit. Got sitting watching the fire.  The clock is running when it will rain.  As I am looking into my garden below here in my Canadian Natural. The garden will like the rain.  Our plants are growing.  Going in and weeding often.  Kim is usually the care taker of it this year.  Although another board popped off and I went and drilled it back in. The screws were just under the length needed. These boards since they are pallets left over are a bit thicker and t...

Morning Cuddle

Dixie comes, Climbs up and rolls in her back in my lap. Here I catch a photo in time for a yawn 😴 waking up routines are get with a dog.  She goes outside to do dog dirt business. First she has to greet me, make sure we are starting the day.  We have to see each other before the day starts. Which I like the morning routine,vi often wonder how it will work when I go back to work.  How much will it change.  Will it change at all.  The dog will be alone more often.  How will she handle it.   It's still quite some time til we go over those work drills. As of today or tomorrow,. It's only the get the walks in. Cigars. Or ball, stick tosses.  Those drills.  The come sit, let go. Don't jump drill. As such these are a few of the thought to this. Kim and I go for our mail box walk with her. I sort of get a photo after by the green stripe.  Yet the sun and get home, in the moment photo guy never really got appraicated in the moment. I have g...

Rain rain Dixie takes the tame.

Dix and I sit Video chatting a Sunday Morning. Dixie the girl 😍 taking a nap in the chair.  At times her eyes focuses on people walking by and jumps up to see the walkers in the rain. We notice the conversation we got into over the calls.  Enjoyed the company 😁 be with those around.  Sipping my second pot of coffee.   I Video chat a friend making a fire 🔥 in his garage.  Chatted over our smokes and herding lambs. Our gardens have produce, the talk relaxing quite the difference between life that I wish I would of known when I was younger. I often look at me younger through a window.  Adding to the commotion of life, one goes over there budget last night.  Figures the turn around. Some things need to be budgeting for.  A preposition to find or the open to join. Work together with an idea of hope. It also 🌮 might be an easy way to alienate myself from my self. Or how some say.  Life might be falling apart.  It's ok, tacos fall apar...

Next Time, I am buying a Kawasaki

The bike key is left in, The 🔋 battery goes dead in the bike, bring the truck around and boost it.  The battery is a bother to get at. I am certain this is a bike thing Corporates don't want to compete in.  Yet the hang of tools is pulled out way to many to get a bike boosted. I go around some neighbourhood circles. More than a dozen times.  Sometimes there are lots in the neighborhood. Go by my house honking by my brother's house honking and revving.  3 or 4 times no one comes out. A couple of moms are walking there stroller and kids up the street as I honk, going by my house to get there attention.  Then I turn around honk some more. As my eyes focus and I see 👀 the women are in front of my house. Ha, they're smiling I'm smiling.  I drove around the west side for a few hours. Come back and get my photo taken. I needed to blog this trip. Fun, days I go and that's fun. Usually all I am is stuck in my 🏠 house.  Reading on hours. Today I rode a bike. ...
