How time flies…. Let’s see, what’s happened in the last year that kept me so busy. Work was work. Been at Southland Honda 17 yrs now. Some faces have come and gone, but most are still there. That says something for most car dealerships. At least the ones in the bigger centres. When I think…
Bomber Practice Today A.B. – After Buck
What a whirl wind week in the CFL. Montreal Allouettes fire their head coach after only 5 games and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers hand the reigns to a man that was #4 on the depth chart last season in Justin Goltz.While it’s been well documented that starter (when he’s healthy) Buck Pierce is a fierce…
My Neighbour is offering space on the Rider Bandwagon…
My neighbour and I have for the past few seasons had a lot of fun and discussion regarding our favorite CFL teams. I am an ardent Bomber fan of 47 years and he, being Matt Friesen, is a Rider fan. He can’t help it, he was born there…it comes with the territory.Well, as the Bombers stumble…
Went looking for snowy owls…
It’s Good Friday. The evening before, we went to Wpg to pick up our daughter for the Easter weekend. We saw at least 3 snow owls along hwy 23 on the way in. So with both my wife, Arlene, and I off today, we thought we’d head back out there and see if we could…
A break in the weather…
So, it was a balmy -10C to -8C on Sunday with very little wind. You could tell we were heading back toward spring, albeit slowly, by the warmth given off from the sun.Days like this make winter in Manitoba very bearable.My wife and I decided to take the camera for a walk in one of…
Gettin’ through winter…
Well, it’s been quite a while since my last post. We’re at the end of January in what’s been a fairly cold spell. It’s been nice to notice that ever so slightly, the amount of light per day is increasing.Winter is a fair bit different for us now. Kids are in post secondary so there’s…
Back to work…
Well…holidays are done, leaves are turning color and school is just around the corner as we head into the ber months. September, October, November, December. First day back at work was pretty good. Catching up always takes a bit of time, as does getting through whatever piled up while away. We did a new video…
Some final thoughts from our stay away…
Yesterday we talked about the River Ride and going back to Famous Dave’s BBQ.But before we left for the evening, I needed to watch a bit of the Bomber game. Found a spot online that streamed it live. I only watched the first half before we had to go…..how disappointing. I really hope this team…
Minni Trip – Day 4 or Thursday for those of you keeping track at home…
Well…today was a little more relaxed. Woke up, got outa bed….dragged a comb across my head…. Anyone know what song that is from?We walked over to a Perkins close to our hotel for breakfast. Busy place! A whole table of Apple guys having a meeting. Another business guy at the table next to us had his…
Minni Trip – Day 3
Woke up in time to see the sun rise. Mostly because the pain in my gut was like a someone stuck a sword right through me. I kinda miss home cooking. Eating on the road is a bit of a crap shoot (no pun intended). We’ve made some changes to our eating habits and we’re…
