Life goes on and other Ramblings from the prairies

Lately Mother Nature has been trying to Kill me again , it’s an ongoing battle between her and I , she calls it my come uppance, I call it Karma …. see I used to drive a huge behemoth of a Ford Bronco 4X4 ( full size not the pansy little one ) , yep it was a BEAST , had a 8 inch lift ( which was funny watching my wife trying to climb in to it , I had to lift Hammy in to it ) and had monster 32’s (wheels) on it, Mud Boggin tires not really suited for the highway, anyway it had an Ozone frying 351 Cleveland done to the nuts power plant, and it got a whopping 11 miles to the gallon highway and about 5 miles to the gallon in the city…. yep it was my TOY, my BABY, I had it for 7 years and had about 10 grand in upgrades into it, never thought twice about burning up the Ozone, and I am sure that while goofing off in Jenkins mud pit I contributed heavily to Global warming…. which is why Mother Nature is p!ssed at me and out to kill me!

To say the last couple days have been hot is a drastic understatement !! keep in mind I am from the great white north where it gets cold enough to kill penguins ! … this heat wave is absolutely killing me!! it’s been so hot the Devil himself stuck his head out of a gopher hole and said D@mn ! it’s hotter than Hades up here!! …. I can handle 20 to 23 degrees Celsius with just a mild case of the sweats and about a gallon of ice water every 20 minutes or so , but this!! THIS!! 31.4 Celsius !! (88.52 Fahrenheit) is gonna be the absolute death of me!! too hot too too hot!! and it will eventually get to 35 – 38 – 40 Celsius by mid July ( about 104 Fahrenheit), I am sure Mother Nature is enjoying watching me nearly pass out working in this heat! it’s payback for driving that ozone frying global warming Bronco !!

I’ve been busy outdoors helping a friend get his yard fixed up the way his wife wants it, that right there is a comedy of errors, he has MS and is slower than molasses in January, but I admire him because he doesn’t let it stop him from doing what needs to be done. I have a bad back that likes to crap out at the worst possible moments , that and fibromyalgia makes for a lovely day at the best of times, the 2 of us are in great shape! (NOT) lol , but we muddle through helping each other and we get things done eventually.

So anyway , we are almost done his yard, when I am done at his house, I come home and work in my own yard, usually in my veggie garden, I am at war with the weeds, and I fear the weeds are currently winning , everything is coming up now except my corn, cucumbers, and pumpkins , hopefully those start popping up in the next week or so.

I am seriously toying with the idea of leaving my part time job at my other friends bar/hotel, heck I only make $10 an hour there and only work on average 4 hours a night 3 or 4 nights per week, the tips are good though, not often a Cook gets tips but I do, $50 here $50 there , but it’s not really the money that’s an issue ( I still run my yard maintenance business, and haul scrap so it ain’t like I’m sitting on my @ss doing nothing) I am semi retired…. by that I mean I only work as much as I want/need too, and I always have a couple irons in the fire, the only time I actually sit on my @ss and do next to nothing is winter ( at minus 45 I ain’t stepping out for nothing or nobody) …. why would i be entertaining the idea of leaving the bar/hotel….. because it’s summer and that kitchen is wicked hot, and it’s not so fun anymore, my friend keeps adding to my job list and those 4 hours are starting to stretch into 5 and 6 hours , it’s just not worth it to me to be away from my son for that long almost every night now, so i haven’t been answering my phone when my friend calls, and I won’t until I decide 1 way or the other what it is I want to do.

I got into the scrap business with another friend, he has a 5 ton tilt deck truck, so I invested and became a partner , I don’t own half of his business, but enough to earn a 6040 split ( he gets 60 I get 40) it generates a nice little income for me and I am learning new things so it is fun for me.

perhaps my greatest iron in the fire is , and this is so simple it’s ridiculous, I build large wooden construction waste bins , and rent them out to the local construction companies that come out here to build/renovate houses ( way cheaper than renting a big metal loras bin) and I haul it away with my friends 5 ton truck , and replace it with an empty one, the scrap wood they throw into it , I take out and what I can’t use for various small projects, I cut up into 1 foot lengths and sell it off for firewood! very little ends up in the landfill, most of it ends up in the village folks fire pits , I don’t just supply this village, I also supply 4 others , same goes with my yard maintenance business, I do 4 other communities not just my own.

I like being my own boss, I pick and choose my hours, work at my own pace and am always keeping a weathered eye on the horizon for new ventures . I am by no means rich and at times live paycheck to paycheck, most times with all my irons in the fires, I generate enough to take the winter off and enjoy my days at home.

I save money where I can , I bought an old 100+ year old home that was a fixer upper for less money than most spent on a down payment for a new huge Mcmansion home , I drive older cars, and do a lot of horse trading ( bartering) for things I need or want , my furniture is used , but nice, and I have some antiques as well as home made stuff , I chose quite simply to pursue life and personal happiness over monetary gain , I do plan on eventually going completely off the grid, I want to install solar panels and 2 small wind turbines on my house and generate my own power, I will stay hooked to the corporate power for only one reason…. to put electricity back onto the grid ( they actually pay you for doing that) I won’t make millions or even thousands doing that, but even if I get a check for $50 or $100 per month from the power company…. well thats $50 or $100 extra a month I didn’t have before!

I know I have a nice shiney new high efficiency furnace , but eventually i want to turn that off too for good, just keep it as a back up, I’d like to upgrade my little wood burning fireplace to a high efficiency pellet fireplace, heat the whole house with that ( my house is under 900 square feet split level) replace the gas water heater ( it’s a rental) with an electric which will be powered via solar/wind … most likely a rental again, because if it craps out it gets replaced free and is not my problem. The only area I’d have trouble stepping off the grid is the water supply, yes I have about a 20,000 gallon cistern , but that hasn’t been used for anything in about 50 years , except for spuds, I put potatoes down there for cold storage , I would have to make sure it didn’t leak before even attempting to use it for water, then there’s the issue of …where do i get the water? …. digging a well in the village is frowned upon big time. course I could fill it with rainwater and meltwater and use it for the toilet , run it through some filters and it could be hooked up to supply the entire bathroom , the garden and for watering the lawn etc. and just use the village water for drinking that would cut my water bill down to next to nothing. ( I will have to ponder this awhile)

So anyway my kidlet is off on a 3 day camping trip with his school , so it is just me , the 4 cats and the dog for the next few days, which means for 3 days I don’t have to wait for him to get off the computer , I have a laptop up in my bedroom, but we only have 1 wireless turbo stick .

So that’s all for tonight, Remember Folks:express your love often, never take tomorrow for granted, and be kind to others.

Excuse me can I borrow your woman for a quick second and other rambles from the prairies

Soooo … the big city is gearing up for the big LGBTQ pride festival, City Hall is even getting in on the festivities by flying the Rainbow Flag right next to the Saskatchewan and Canadian Flag , I hope they have lots of fun and don’t have to deal with too many right wing religious loons .

That said, I was at walmart today grabbing some stuff for the house, I needed more tub and tile caulking , and a few other things, and decided to stop in the paint section and look at those paint cards… now I am a handy person with tools, can fix most anything and have a “thing” for power tools …. however… home decorator I am NOT!

While standing there holding paint sample cards …way out of my element ….completely baffled and lost not to mention confused as all get out… trying to make sense of the funny names of colours… pure periwinkle??… it’s BLUE! WTF is a periwinkle? sounds like some kind of foreign fruit! … “No you can’t have a glass of milk until you finish your periwinkles!! … yep put that right up there with brussel sprouts ! Ick factor 12!

Old Bronze?? … Bronze my @ss… that is not even a colour… it looks an awful lot like the stuff in the cat litter box after Peepster ate the chia pet and washed it down with the heavy cream she spilt all over the counter !!

Easter Egg??… it’s frickin PURPLE!! … I can just see myself standing at the counter asking for a can of periwinkle and Easter egg or flax seed (yellow) … like that is ever gonna happen!! … who the h3ll comes up with these backasswards names? … it HAS to be a FEMME thing!! … no self respecting Butch or manly man is going to ask anyone for a gallon of periwinkle at any point in time, for any reason …. it just ain’t gonna happen!

So I did what any person would do who was trying to save their dignity and self respect… I asked a complete stranger if I could borrow his wife for a quick second ! …. yeah I got a strange look outta him at first… so before he could tell me to go to h3ll or knock me out in isle 3 …. I quickly held up the paint cards and simply said periwinkle!!?? … he quickly realised I was in the same situation as he was …. stuck picking paint colours with absolutely no clue how to match coordinate or otherwise decorate , he must have felt real bad because he glanced around and saw that I was flying solo …. perhaps he was relieved since he would get a few moments break from his wife’s questions… what do you think dear? this would look nice there don’t you think/ etc… questions that married folks quickly learn to just say yes dear or if you think so dear … if they ever hope to have sex again.

So this wife ( her name was cynthia ) … helped me out… or rather she did all the decision making … now with 18 years experience I knew to put on my clueless cap …. I told her I was clueless ( and really … I am!!) and needed a Lady’s opinion on colours since they are so knowledgeable about such things and home decor , I briefly explained that I am recently widowed and am trying to spruce up the house, to use the colours my wife would have wanted… but gosh there is just so many different shades!! … I told her it is just myself and our 13 year old son now, so I needed something with a feminine touch , yet didn’t compromise the masculine side of life either… Ohhh she was all over that like white on rice …. I told her I needed purple for the bathroom… but not a dark bold purple, I needed a subtle purple or something close to it, I told her I had dark oak furnishings in there with a grey slate tile floor…. she chose the Easter Egg colour… a pale purple … so I marked that card .

next the kitchen… I told her there was tan coloured furnishings in there, lots of pine , and I needed a yellow, but not a bright yellow … I told her it had light grey vinyl tile there , she picked flaxseed … it’s a subtle yellow , so I marked that card , lastly the living room, I told her I wanted to stay somewhat neutral here, some sort of off white, and asked if there was such thing as a bluish white? … there was and she found it… Ming Dynasty white … masculine but not overbearing , very subtle… I marked that card, and thanked her profusely , and thanked her husband for loaning me her expertise in such matters.

Now when I go back to the store , I will be armed with my marked paint cards and will just point and say this one, this one, and that one… no way am I asking for easter eggs , flax seeds and ming dynasty!! I have my self respect and dignity to maintain !!

My Butch card is still intact as is my dignity and self respect , and thanks to me making that guys wife feel extra important , that guy stands a good chance of getting a lil’ sum sum tonight…. so I was just as helpful to him as his wife was to me , he should thank me ! lol

well that’s all for now, I’m off to try and explain periwinkle to Hammy , so Remember Folks:express your love often, never take tomorrow for granted, and be kind to others.

Windows 10 my 2 cents and other shtuff from the prairies

Out here on the Saskatchewan Prairies we are just 24 hours out from a wicked 3 day storm, there were tornadoes involved and a torrential downpour of rain, the thunder shook my wee house and rattled the windows, and the lightening was an awesomely amazing light show, huge forks of white blue and purple lightening that lit up the entire sky for 10 to 20 seconds at a time …… I do love our prairie storms, they are spectacular and frightening, folks who are not from the prairies normally duck and run for cover, our storms are quite different than the rest of the provinces , they are something to be witnessed as they are not easily described.

So I went ahead and installed Windows 10 on both the home PC and on my laptop, and I have 2 different versions of Windows 10, I have Windows 10 Home edition on the PC (full version) and Widows 10 Work edition on my laptop ( full version) , there are subtle differences but for the most part both are easy to navigate and use.

As I stated in the previous post , you can get Windows 10 for FREE from the Microsoft website , and it’s the full version, not a demo or trial, just go over to their site and click on the upgrade … it’s FREE , it’s a 3 gig download, but it goes fairly quick , it takes about 20 minutes for Windows 10 to set itself up, save your existing windows version ( so you can switch back if you don’t like the upgrade) and save all your files and settings, from there it’s a 5 minute install and BAM your good to go!

Now, I will say you NEED to watch the how to video’s , and read the help files, let Windows 10 assist you in setting things up the way you like, it is practically idiot proof !

I haven’t played around with their new Browser …. yet … it is called Microsoft Edge , from what I have read it IS all that and a bag of chips , it is designed to give both Fire Fox and Chrome a good run for their money…. meaning it is designed to meet or exceed both Fire Fox and Chromes abilities and ease of use etc. Microsoft Edge is a Major player in the browser world , unlike it’s failed predecessors (Explorer) …. I looked at Edge briefly , I never went further than it’s home page, it IS streamlined, and had local news on it, my only dislike thus far is it uses BING as it’s search engine and not Google , though you CAN go into the browser settings and make Google the home/start page. I shall play around with the new Microsoft browser in the coming days and give a review (personal opinion) on it, I am a die hard Chrome user, which is very compatible with Windows 10 , actually every program and file that I had on both Windows 8.1 (laptop) and Windows 7 (PC) work very well with Windows 10 , Microsoft did not attempt to force people to use only Microsoft products and programs with Windows 10 as they had done with Vista , instead they made Windows 10 compatible with most outside programs and products …. and again it is very user friendly.

There are many features that I haven’t played with yet, such as Cortina , activate that and the computer will talk to you , you will absolutely love windows 10 if you have a tablet or a touch screen on your computer , and you can pass info back and forth between windows based devices without the use of usb cords , just set the tablet , phone etc next to the computer screen and swipe… the stuff on your computer magically appears on the other device and visa versa .

BTW windows 10 is also available for your tables and windows based phones… absolutely FREE and again it’s the FULL version, and is FREE for as long as you own what ever device you downloaded it onto along with any future upgrades , they will also be FREE.

There is also no limit on how many computers laptops or devices that you can upgrade to windows 10 , Windows 10 also holds your previous version of windows for you, you have exactly 30 days from the moment you log onto windows 10 for the first time to decide if you want to keep it or go back to your earlier version of windows , click the reinstall previous windows version button and windows will restore your previous version and remove windows 10 , if you wait beyond the 30 day limit windows 10 will permanently delete your previous version of windows and you will be running windows 10 permanently.

Windows 10 did speed up both my PC and laptop, it actually uses less than half the resources (cpu and memory) than windows 7 or 8.1 and the graphics are unreal! you can also set up the start menu to function and look the same way as Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 , Windows 10 gives you full preference and customization, you can do a great many things with it , I’ve only played with it for 2 hours so I am not aware of every feature and function …. yet. just give me a few days.

So that is about all I know of Windows 10 at this moment, I will play with it for awhile and report back with my thoughts and opinions, so far there is nothing I really don’t like except for the Bing and that’s a simple click of the settings button, as I said I am a Chrome user , so Windows Edge will be hard pressed to win me over.

Other than that I have been looking after a neighbour’s sick dog, a scruffy little pocket dog, not sure what breed it is , but it has the runs , I am going to get it some medicine tomorrow, I also have to do some shopping , I absolutely dislike shopping, but the dog needs food as do the cats and I have a 14 year old human eating machine (Hammy) to feed so it is a chore that must be done .

I have managed to pull myself back together after my grief meltdown, and Thank You ALL for your kind words, I do very much appreciate you all. I should be okay for a good while now… I hope.

Anyway that is all for tonight, I have to be up extra early tomorrow so I shall bid you all good night, oh and Remember Folks : express your love often, never take tomorrow for granted, and be kind to others.

Spring Flooding

This is our garden, under about 2 feet of water, all the snow we got this past winter has left our property a ruddy mess, its not just our garden that flooded but most of our property.

I have been busy pumping out the water but there really is no place to put it, the ditch out front is overflowing, the water I pump out of the yard is pretty much running down the road.
I am not the only one flooded almost everyone here in Pense has flooding to some degree and some are flooded worse than we are so the village held a huge sand bagging bee, in 8 hours we all together have bagged over 5000 bags, which are free for the taking by anyone who lives here.



This is the entrance to our secret garden, it looks rather dismal right now, but once the water is pumped out and the area cleaned up it will once again be a cozy little hide away to sit on the bench swing and watch the birds and squirrels and breathe in the scents of wild flowers while shaded from the hot summer sun.



All things considered, the flooding aint so bad, this photo was taken exactly 1 month ago, when I was busy digging the RED DORF out of the snowbank to get it ready to sell, so when it comes to the flooding, it could be worse! it could always be 40 below and we could still have 6 feet of snow on the ground, so yep, Ill gladly take the warm weather and flood waters!

Our garden may be a little late getting planted this year as once the water is gone the ground still has to dry, but with some hard work, patience, and a positive attitude we will have a wonderful garden around the first of June. better late than never eh?

guess thats all for now, yall have a wonderful weekend.

Speech from Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper

My fellow Canadians, for the second time this week there has been a brutal and violent attack on our soil.
Today, our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Corporal Nathan Cirillo of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders.

Corporal Cirillo was killed today – murdered in cold blood – as he provided a ceremonial honour guard at Canada’s national war memorial.

That sacred place that pays tribute to those who gave their lives so that we can live in a free, democratic and safe society.

Likewise, our thoughts and prayers remain also with the family and friends of Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, who was killed earlier this week by an ISIL-inspired terrorist.

Tonight we also pray for the speedy recovery of the others injured in these despicable attacks.

Fellow Canadians, we have also been reminded today of the compassionate and courageous nature of so many Canadians, like those private citizens and first responders who came to provide aid to Corporal Cirillo as he fought for his life.

And, of course, the members of our security forces in the RCMP, the city of Ottawa police, and in parliament who came quickly, and at great risk to themselves, to assist those of us who were close to the attack.

Fellow Canadians, in the days to come, we will learn more about the terrorist and any accomplices he may have had.

But this week’s events are a grim reminder that Canada is not immune to the types of terrorist attacks we have seen elsewhere around the world.

We are also reminded that attacks on our security personnel and our institutions of governance are, by their very nature, attacks on our country.

On our values, on our society, on us, Canadians, as a free and democratic people who embrace human dignity for all.

But let there be no misunderstanding, we will not be intimidated. Canada will never be intimidated.

In fact, this will lead us to strengthen our resolve and redouble our efforts and those of our national security agencies, to take all necessary steps to identify and counter threats, and keep Canada safe here at home.

Just as it will lead us to strengthen our resolve and redouble our efforts to work with our allies around the world and fight against the terrorist organizations who brutalize those in other countries with the hope of bringing their savagery to our shores.

They will have no safe haven.

While today has been, without question, a difficult day, I have every confidence that Canadians will pull together with the kind of firm solidarity that has seen our country through many challenges.

Together, we will remain vigilant against those, at home or abroad, who wish to harm us.

For now, Laureen, Ben, Rachel, and I join all Canadians in praying for those touched by today’s attack.

May God bless them, and keep our land glorious and free.

from far far out in left field again

Okay so umm Ive developed an unusual habit of watching the clothes get sloshed around by the agitator in the washing machine, so lets just back up a moment and say that I, Butch, blew up my wifes washing machine by accident *sigh* this happened almost a month ago, what happened was I got tinkering with the machine and thought hmmm I can increase the pump velocity thereby making it drain faster... so I did and it did, I had that piddly pump draining at around 20 gpm where as the stock drained around 5gpm , I was pleased with myself, it served no real purpose and didnt help the laundry chores go any faster, but still I was pleased with myself,

well things worked well for a few days, then ummm BANG! what happened next was simply EPIC!! the piddly little impeller inside the pump sheared off at such a high velocity that it not only blew apart the pump but also the hoses from the wash tub to the pump before embedding itself in the floor, okay THAT was pretty freakin AWESOME in my books, but my wife didnt see it that way! she was so mad at me she was speechless and just glared at me while the sparks flew and the water pooled at her feet.

Now fast forward to the present, I replaced her old washing machine, and it was old, at least 15 years old, so I bought a heavy duty C6 model, not brand new but a 4 year old with a ground up rebuild, it only cost me $100 and came with a 3 months parts warranty, my wifey is happy and that makes me a happy Butch as I can finally come out of the dog house.



as you can plainly see its a used washer, but dang it works great, its not that old just 4 years, and it can handle anything, as I discovered you can put a weeks worth of laundry for 3 people in one big load! I be liking it, and my wife has yet to use it because I have volunteered to become the laundry taker carer of person, and heres where it gets a bit weird, its the agitator, it doesnt just go back and forth like the old washer! this one is a 2 parter!! the bottom half goes back and forth while the top half goes in a jerky continual motion in 1 direction.... counter clockwise, and for some reason unbeknownst to me it fascinates me! to the point where it has become my personal obsession to stand there with the lid up and watch it as it sucks the clothes down under the water.



it is just a washing machine, but I am obsessed with watching that agitator for reasons I cant explain, my wife and kidlet think I have finally gone nuts! maybe theyre right and I have, but everyone has got very clean clothes and the laundry hamper is always empty!


well Im off to.... you guessed it, run a load of laundry

A simple little note to God from our 13 year old reduced me to tears tonight

We have our Faith but I seldom talk about it here or anywhere online,and unless someone asks in person, I seldom speak of it, why? because it’s a personal thing , that and there are so many right wing loons who try and shove their beliefs down everyone else’s throat that it makes it difficult for the not so crazy or obsessed over faith or religion reluctant to speak of their beliefs, I just don’t want to get thrown into the fanatic pile (trust me I’m no fanatic) and I believe that spirituality is a personal thing and not everyone believes in what I do so why should I say anything? (and yes I know you Atheists probably think I’m bonkers for even believing….but that’s okay ,I do understand as before the shit hit the fan not once but twice in my family, I to was an Atheist, so I get and understand where you’re coming from)

Anyway, I’m not here to discuss God or Allah or any other Deity , nor am I here to discuss beliefs, you have yours and I have mine, I respect yours so please respect mine that is all I have to say about that.

Our 13 year old son writes notes to God, his prayers really, and usually keeps them safe and private, however one of the cats managed to find his note stash and dragged one out to play with, thinking it was just a piece of scrap paper I was about to throw it away, until I read it ….. here is the short note, unedited only the Dear God in the title and our sons name have been removed.

Dear_____
Let the cancer leave my Mom, let her be safe, let her be strong, cancer is dangerous, my Mom means everything to me and my Dad, cancer must be stopped don’t let the cancer spread. My mom is the best person I know along with my Dad. from __________ Amen

That little note/prayer choked me up, our son doesn’t really talk about his Mom having cancer much, he only talks when prompted and if you ask the wrong question he will refuse to talk about it further.

I really don’t know what to say or what to talk about now, but if you’re wondering my wife is doing well, we won’t really know what happens next until next Tuesday when we see the oncologist, until then we try to live as normal a life as possible.

So remember folks:express your love often,never take tomorrow for granted,and be kind to others

Winter’s on it’s way and other ramblings from the prairies

So for now we here in our little corner of Saskatchewan (Canada) have avoided the dreaded white stuff that falls from the sky (Snow) , (having said that I probably just jinxed myself and will wake up to 10 feet of the shit) but the temperatures have just screamed snow on the horizon hovering between 2 and 5 degrees celsius during the day and dropping as low as minus 7 at night, our saving grace? …. we keep getting a southern wind from our neighbours (Thank you USA) as long as they keep sending the winds our way we shall remain snow free.

cartoon31

I know that the snow isn’t far off now, the Blue Jays are setting up shop in our back yard, there is 5 or 6 of them so far, funny they only come in winter, don’t get me wrong I love the blue buggers, but what I really want to see is a Cardinal !! I have only seen 1 in my entire 47 years of existence and that was 40 friggin years ago! I really really want to see another one. The hawks and falcons have gone south for the winter and the great horned owls and snowy owls have taken their place and the Canadian Geese are staging in the fields for their journey south , the good thing about that is at least we won’t be stepping in Goose shit for the next 7 months, they will soon be the USA’s problem (you’re welcome)

cartoon32

Today I put up my snow fence along our driveway , all 100 feet of it, I have some left over snow fence (about 50 feet) so I gave it to our neighbour to help him out, this will be his second winter out here (he and his family are city folk), last winter his driveway blew in something fierce (got snowed in) and about that time his shiny new snowblower crapped out on him. He almost died last year with the amount of snow we got out here, nor could he believe how cold it can get, in the city he was sheltered from the winds by multiple buildings walls and such, he got a taste of minus 50 with a 40 mile an hour wind and blowing snow out here in the open prairie , to say he was a little freaked out was an understatement lol

I have had a pretty easy day over all, just winterizing the house and property, topping off all the fluids in my cars and dealing with a wicked weather induced migraine , always happens to me this time of year as the atmospheric pressure drops and it will happen again 7 months from now when spring hits and the pressure changes once again, this will be an ongoing saga for me for about 2 months until the atmospheric pressure stabilizes, it’s also that time of year when I really begin to feel my age (47) , my joints hurt and I’m stiff most of the winter, but you won’t hear me bitching about it often as it is merely a painful reminder of a very full and active life I have lived (so far) I’m not as crazy as I was 20 years ago , but I am still active and I will be kept busy all winter shovelling paths to and from the work shed and various other locations, as well as the driveway and helping the neighbours clear their drives.

cartoon34Of course I will be taking my wife to the city weekly for her doctor appointments keeping her alive and as healthy as possible despite her lung cancer is of utmost importance, hell keeping myself healthy is important now since I am the only person that drives, I can’t afford to be sick, my wife’s life depends on me looking after myself and staying healthy. Our son is as healthy and as strong as an ox so I don’t really have to worry about him much. So it’s month 2 for me on the crestor and metamucil ( anti cholesterol) and I have definitely noticed a change in my overall health, I feel better, I have more energy, and I’ve lost 5 pounds! I am now down to 220 pounds ( I carry the weight well , I’m 5ft 10), I have gotten used to the metamucil so I don’t feel like I’m dying every time I drink a glass of juice with it, so far so good, I am hoping to have lost another 5 pounds by the end of November, ideally I’d like to get down to 180 to 185 pounds , that is my goal and it’s realistic , if I just keep on doing what I’m doing I will eventually get there.

So I guess that’s it for tonight, remember folks : express your love often,never take tomorrow for granted,and be kind to others.

Suspended from Face book for speaking out against Islam

The sounds of silence, a different perspective.

The sounds of silence as never before, apologies to S&G, but too good not to use!

So if you speak out against Islam you get called a Racist by Muslims .... FYI those who call you a racist for speaking out against Islam are complete and utter IDIOTS!! and here is why .... Islam is NOT any one race of people .... Muslims are not a singular race, in fact Muslims are of all races, and colors and genders, white, black, brown, yellow, red, etc. so to call someone a Racist for speaking against a Muslim.... is completely moronic and makes the accuser look like an uneducated buffoon !

You will also be called Xenophobic .... not just by Muslims , but by every over sensitive politically correct Two legged Twonk Donkey on the planet .... when you take a stand for your rights and the rights of your Country .... you often stand alone... how ever ... North Americans are beginning to wake up and take notice of what the hell is going on in the world of Islam ..... the Mainstream Media water the facts down with words like Alleged crime, or out right lie to people , or more common dont even bother to report the news .... so Europe.. Germany... Cologne .... over 100 non Muslim women sexually assaulted beaten and raped by .... Muslim Refugees .... this isnt a one off crime ... the men who did this were well organized and surrounded the women .... in case that doesnt faze you ... just remember these women are someones Daughter, someones Wife, someones Mother ... the choice is your now... either you wake up and start searching for the truth because the mainstream media wont tell the truth, the police are instructed to suppress the truth, the government denies the truth ..... either YOU take a stand ... or what happened in Germany ( it also happened in a dozen other countries that took in Refugees ...) will happen to your daughters wives and mothers ....

Look, Harper may have been an asshole, but he did have some control over who exactly was allowed into Canada and who was not .... now Justin, I like the guy , but he has to slow down on the numbers of Refugees he is bringing into Canada .... I am not saying deny them entry, but I do want to know why the Christian, Atheist, Jew, Yazidi, Kurd, the LGBT and every other extremely high risk of being killed refugee is NOT being brought to safety in Canada ... why is it predominantly Muslims?

Now lets get right to it... Islam is NOT a religion ... it is an Ideology ... to a Muslum Allahs laws are above mans law .... they feel they do not have to follow the laws of their host country .... and that is an absolute fact ...another absolute Fact... our western culture, our multi religious beliefs, our very society goes against EVERYTHING Islams Ideology .... Islam and the non Muslim... can not co exist peacefully ... Islams end goal is to make the entire world Islamic , convert everyone to Islam and those who refuse to convert ... kill them. ... that is a Fact ... doubt me? you can read the Quran in its entirety just with a simple mouse click on Google.... you can also do the same with their Hadith and all other islamic texts .... the Quran is not a Muslim religious Bible.. it is an Ideology in writing that details exactly how to trick the non believer into believing Islam is peaceful ... it teaches how to conquer the infidel... that is you and me (assuming you are not muslim)

Now people will say.... but the Christians did the exact same thing .... dont you know about the Inquisitions? .... okay well yes Christians did go on a murderous rampage and try to conquer the world..... back in the Middle ages ... but this is no longer the time of the Templars , the inquisitors , you dont see any knights do you?? no , no you dont this is the 21st century Christians are not quite so backwards and barbaric any more , nor do they try to kill you if you speak out against their religion / beliefs , they dont strap a bomb to themselves or high jack a plane and try to kill as many innocent people as they can ... just because others choose not to believe in their god or made fun of their holy book .. there is only 1 Ideology that does that today .... anyone dare to say which one? ... or are you too afraid to offend someone in this overly sensitive politically correct world? ..... fine I will say it for you ... Islam... Islam and those who follow it ( that would be Muslims) are the only ones doing this.

So I will leave you with that , and my comments are open... I am looking forward to all the oversensitive politically correct leftists leaving me all sorts of foul comments ... I look forward to mislims commenting as well... I love it when they say I should die.... your victim card doesnt work with me... so bring it .

Peace
Butch
