Done and Dusty (and Thirsty)

Done and Dusty (and Thirsty)

Mowin’ the lawn near the end of a hot day. When I mentioned in passing that it seems like ages since I had surfed the turf the missus seemed to have the exact number at hand as in two weeks and 3 days. TMI as far as I am concerned. You see, my thumbs are closer to a...

Twenty-Two Tigers and a Hot Dog

Twenty-Two Tigers and a Hot Dog

Check out the artwork on the can. Looks like a nice tiger pattern but look closer. Twenty-two tigers and a hot dog? What’s that all about? That got me wondering how old Noah made sure that those two tigers didn’t end up making a few other species extinct on their 40...

Call of the Falls

My plan for Father’s Day. Take a motorcycle ride (no falls), have a beer and mow the lawn. So after my bike ride I am doing some Father’s “day” drinking, and the song “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad” comes to mind. I tell my son this and he says “as long as you weren’t...

Fields of Elora

Fields of Elora

It could well be that the origin of the word gorgeous comes from the Elora Gorge, a beautiful place to be sure.* Well worth a drive, depending of course on where you live, the mileage you get with your vehicle and the price of gas. Apart from all that it is a...

Exploring? Have You Checked Out….. the World?

Let’s go exploring! Where? How about…..the World! With a spaceman on the can I guess they are telling us the world is not enough.* I’ve been around the world once or twice and let me tell you, the novelty has worn off. So these days if someone says “Let’s go...

Staking a Claim

Staking a Claim

Time to pack up the mule and head for the mountains? Back in day, that was the reaction to news of gold in the Klondike. Ironically, what seemed like easy money - just pick the gold out of the stream, turned out to be one of the more difficult ways to earn a living....

Sweet on Argentina?

Part of Muskoka’s Big World Small batch series, this one is greetings from Argentina. I’ve been to a lot of places in the world but Argentina isn’t one of them, and to be honest, it’s not on the kick the bucket list either. Let’s see, what’s Argentina famous for?  I...

Rye Road Ramblings

Brewed in the North…. at South River? I guess North is a relative term, South River is South of a lot of places I have worked and lived. But if you are from the little apple and Algonquin Park sounds like a far North adventure in igloo country, then you may just...
