I was introduced to Gord Bamford. Well, maybe that’s not quite right. Let me explain: Marilyn loves country music, especially Canadian country music. She knows all the artists, she knows all their songs, and I’m a little behind. I’m still back in the era of Waylon, Willie , Tammy Wynette and then on the Canadian…

In The Pink
Our last conversation was all about blue so in an effort to balance this most erudite journal I think it only makes sense that today we should focus the color pink. Everybody agree? You, in the back, talking on your phone , does that include you? Alright then, pink it is. You saw…
Nothing But Blue Skies
The last time we spoke I was whining because it was so foggy, so dark, so drizzily. Well today is a different day. The sky is blue with big puffy clouds, the grass is shining up through the snow and the trees and bushes along the Weller Canal are acting like it’s spring. Those…
Dark and Drizzle
Yesterday was that kind of day! Absolutely no sign of the sun, rainy, foggy, becoming more muddy as our remaining snow melted away. I was up at Sicards anyway; A friend and customer’s ( in one word,what would you call a friend and customer? We have names for everything else) new factory order motor…
I worked. And I worked hard!
Might as well right? I’m only there for 3 days, so I can’t put anything off. I either do it or I forget about it. Did I have fun you ask? I had a blast! Forgive me if you’ve heard this before, but I love RV’s and I love talking about them. I remember way…

So this morning I am back at work. This is the weekend of the big RV show in Toronto and most of the crew is down catching all the buyers they can at the International Center in Mississauga. That leaves me and a couple of other experienced RV guys to man the fort….
Bad Behavior
Talking about sunsets the other day, I said “sunrises and sunsets always strike me as mother nature’s gift to me for being out there.” No Gift Today! Last night I check with Professor Google: He She tells me that this morning is to be about -4 in St Catharines, sunrise will be at 7:45 and…
Sunset and a Steak
Turns out I miss-spoke. It wasn’t an eight dollar steak, it was $10.95. But it was a fourteen ounce, a pretty good piece of meat considering the price, and we both agreed it was cooked just right. So for about twenty-two dollars we each had a delicious dinner. I had two pints of…
Hats Off
I gotta hand it to you, you picked a good winter to go south. that’s if you did. No “Hats Off” to you if you didn’t though, no-sir-ee! If I can say one very positive thing about this winter it would be that there certainly is variety. After a fourteen day (that’s really only two…
