I sure miss work

I sure miss work.   Nope !

 Did you think I really missed it.  Today what great weather here in Victoria.  My wife and I went for a nice walk in Sidney.  Spent a hour or so going in and out of a few stores and then had coffee at a nice coffee shop called the Red Brick Cafe.  Then we walked down by the water and then found a nice bench to have our lunch at.  The sun was blazing away , with nice calm seas, and a bunch of wildlife performing for us.   We had a Heron drop by and give us a little show.  Then we had a seal that was catching some kind of small fish and the seagulls trying to get the fish off the seal.  

What a nice day.   No I don't miss work

 

shaving

Came across this video on youtube.  I cant imagine ever being brave enough to try something like this.  I mean what if the blades start to go wrong.  This guy is either really brave or hasn't really thought of what could go wrong.   Enjoy

Email Horseshoes

This month I started a new kind of horseshoe league.  It is called
Tom's email horseshoes.  The concept is that anyone that wants to play horseshoes can wherever or whenever they want.  

Heres how it works.  You play once a week where ever you want, and it can be by yourself or with someone else.  You throw 50 shoes and count all your points.  ringers= 3pts shoes 6in from the pin= 1pt.   you just email me the total points after the 50 shoes.

The first week had 14 people join in.  A good first start.  most from BC but had a couple in Ontario and one from PEI.

Hope to get more people involved as the weeks and months go on.

If you want to see the first results  then check out the web page at

Ok till then  happy pitching

Odd Shot Feb.07

Well here is my odd shot for the return of the odd shot series. This is an old model cannon that is famous in Victoria's Ross bay.  It is infront of a mexican style house right at the end of Ross Bay.  It is missing the actual cannon which I believe was also made of wood.

Suddenly things change

Just updating from my phone but one minute I was working in the yard and the next minute I am lying on the couch with a sore back.

I did a good one lifting a cement block so now its rest for a few days to give the back a rest.
