Venus shines over last sunset of 2011

Rather spectacular View from our friend's condo at Big White Ski resort.

According to the star chart, Uranus is just out of view in the upper left,

so...

...please keep it that way,

Spectacular views

From the "Tile Field" trail in Big White, Kelowna.

Cross country skiing at Big White

A fantastic winter wonderland. Empty trails. Bright sun. Blue sky.

Getting Cold Feet

Sandy doesn't like to put on her socks but she sure likes them once she's out in the snow.

Pre-renovations

Nothing that twenty five years of steak and vodka can't successfully obscure.

Everyone knows I'm a boob man.

This coming Sunday, I'm running in the 5km CIBC Run for the Cure to benefit Breast Cancer Research.

I'm trying to raise a little money. I only need a little bit. Some of my friends have kicked it off already (Thanks DIANE!, ROBBY!, PAUL!).

I'm running for my 2nd Mum: Marguerite Simpson, for our family friend Barbara Sherrington, and most recently for Cindi Armstrong who passed away just a few weeks ago in Canmore. All of them were taken before their time.

I'm also running for our friend Colleen F who is a survivor!

Donate to me with your credit card, just a few bucks is all I need. It all goes to the right place and Colleen provides cheerful evidence that sometimes you can win the battle.

Getting some pooch time with Bernie the St. Bernard on Galiano.

Mouthful

And then some: Johnny's footlong in Vegas.

Safe distance

Sorry that Mum is missing this. Next time...

Yesterday

Wished my pop (and Ma) happy birthday(s), rebooked Air Canada flights, worked a 12 hour day, helped wifey unpack and store a giant load of shopping from Costco, removed and repaired a glass shower door, unloaded my drum hardware from our SUV, did two loads of laundry, ironed shirts and pillowcases, took the garbage and recycling out, removed our closet door then the washer dryer and repaired a dryer vent (and put it back again), remade the bed, repaired a garment bag and watched a movie.

Back to it today.

Only because...

Levor climbed a tree and nailed it fifty feet up in the sky.

HiDef antenna a la Ghetto

This is the sorry assed HD antenna that I made from instructions that
I found on the internet. Our friends Sarah and Levor on Galiano Island
are able to get 12 HD channels where otherwise they would get only
peasant-vision.
