good day

oh man i do love the spa in moose jaw, they feel so good, we went shopping in the city today for the first time in a long time we were not rushed nearly so bad, so we had time to just look around, and find stuff we needed for once.

but oh man did it ever feel good going to the spa though i have been feeling fairly stiff for the last few weeks and we had a good soak in there and now i feel allot better, or at least i did until i had to move my satellite dish when we got home, and it was raining out. and mad do i hate re-aiming those damn things. i still don't think i have it setup just right but my reception is now allot better and dose not look so half assed

but the puppies are doing great, i will have at least one person coming for one here next week. so i am happy just knowing that i am finding homes for them now. only 6 more to go now and i have another person who would like one, but i am not sure just yet.

we now have a bigger family for now, peachess had 6 puppies so far the last one is not in the pics yet, but the first one was dead when we found it, gomen little puppie

oh and a update we are up to 7 puppies doing well now, though the first one dose not seem to eat all that well, i hope she is ok

yay one more thing done

ya one less thing to do on my house, i installed a proper drain for my rain gutter. so that makes me feel better any how. now it will not fall 15ft and make a giant puddle for peaches to get muddy in.

but now i need to install the whole things on the other side of the house.

and i also did some more tilling today too, the back is still way too muddy but the front was good, i added some compost i bought to the soil too, but i think this is a good start, i hope i can have a good garden.


and here is a pic of  my pregnant dog peaches

starting the garden

i am getting places with my garden i got a really good deal on a small 43cc rototiller from work, so i thought i would bite

this is the little guy seems to work ok for the first few passes i did, it is under powered but i will take it over doing it with a shovel.

i am sure my neighbors are starting to think i am nuts, i seems to end up taking allot of pics at night because i forget to take them during the day.lol

i am liking this so far though it is progress and its good progress.

i will do more tomorrow and i will post some more pics then too.

we might just get a good garden this year

Ai and me just planted the first set of seeds for our garden tonight, so i hope we get a good start to our garden this year so i am happy about that. we started some Mary golds Kohlrabi. lettuce, brussel sprouts, and a few other things so i am happy about that.

and my mom gave me a small green house for outside that i will start some more things in when it is not so cool out side at night. so that is a good thing too.

garden

yay i got a small step done on starting my garden this year i got the big tractor tires for my raised garden about where i would like them, so that is good.

and here is another one

but i hope to have it started for a good season this year.

family meal

today me and Ai went to a families house for dinner it was about the best thing that we have done in a long time i think, it was nice to see that there are still families out there that can get to gether at dinner, and work together on a farm, no bickering just nice talking and some good laughs over some good simple food. so that was great.

they gave us some old tractor tires they had for a raised garden that i want to build this spring.

i will take some pictures of them tomorrow, or on Sunday.

but i think we had a great dinner today, and i think Ai might have made a few friends today too.

rain in jan

i was just reading the weather and we had rain in the forcast for jan its getting insane this month

blackouts

past few days have proven to be more of a challenge than i was thinking, we had a all night blackout last night, and about a 5 hour long one today, so i was not able to go to work today, that was good and bad i guess, it was just a short day any how.

Ai was getting sick, i was starting to worry about her, but now she is getting better, so i am feeling much better too.

my princess peach (my yellow lab), manages to brake more things than any other dog i know and she dose not even chew on them, she broke her cable for her leash out side, so now i have her on a small chain about 600lbs rating. i hope this one will last longer,untill we can get the dog run built.

but i am happy for the most part, i am starting to save more each month, and Ai is working a little. i know she wants to work more so i must support her.

i have also been thinking more and more that i do need to start to do more things that i want to do, so that i can feel more challenged in life, building my project has gone a long ways when it comes to that, but i know it is something that i will have take a more long term look at. i have come to find that if i do not have anything that i am trying to do that i find it hard to be motivated in pretty much anything that i do. but it is a step in the right direction so i am happy.

its my birthday (well yesterday)

i had a good birthday, i was able to work on my project most of the day and i got a good ways on it so i am happy, and i think it might have saved me a few dollars too. so i am happy.

Ai made me a few great meals and i made a pizza, too. Ai made a great cheese cake it was great nice and simple but full of flavor.

Ai gave me a drill to for my birthday an nice black and decker hammer drill, i am a big fan of DeWalt tools but i do find this one to have a good solid feel too and it sounds solid too. so for doing stuff around the house i think it was a very good choice.

but today was good slow but good, it is always slow here on a sunday though

fun fun

well the past few days have been very good, i have been able to relax and spend some time doing things i love, and trying to get some reading done on my project for the year, but i did learn allot though.

i made a great shepherd pie today though it was allot better than i was expecting.

i did also get the other lights working in my basement so that was a good thing too,

BBBBRRRRrrrrr

i am not sure about elsewhere but danm is it cold here.

i had to put some cardboard in the front of my truck today, i hope that will help it stay warmer for now at least.

but today was a good day i had a good day at work we got allot done, i just wish i knew if i hurt my elbow or not, some days it just aches and after moving some stuff around today did it ever ache. if it dose not get better soon i will go and talk to the doc again though i don't like that thought too much, i do not like taking pills of any sort, but this aching is starting to drive me nuts.

but any how today my wife made a great dinner, it was simple just some battered fish, fries, and a salad, but it was great to come home too, i love her so much.


any how have a good night all,

sore

i do wish i knew why some days i am just so drained after work, some days both mentally and physically, i find it frustrating because when it happens i have no drive to do much anything even cook, i just find my self wanting to sit for a few hours untill i am tired. i hope i can figure this out soon.

i do find my self wanting a more of a challenge lately, i think i am getting used to things at work and finding it to be less of a challenge most of the time that it was when i first started, so i think i will need to try to focus my energy at my other project at home and that is my reprap http://mike-mack.blogspot.com/ here is my link to that blog. but i hope this will help me get back to feeling like normal.

at least the weather has been nice here lots of snow today,

retirement

i am been trying to figure out how to better save for my retirement, i know i will need to save more, but i am trying to figure out the best way to do that, my rrsp right now is paying about .65% about all i can say to that is wow, for every 100 i have in there i only get a whopping 65 cents. thats not too inspiring, but i know in the next few years that it will get better, and i hope i can see it grow on its own at least a little bit that will feel much better.

but other than that little depressing bit over all today was rather good Ai made a rather good dinner today and i am thankful for that.

we also got our dog peaches, a new dog house today, it took some coaxing to get her into it the first time, so i hope that she will use it when she is out side.
we got her a dogloo i rather like them we sell them where i work and they seem like they are well build and a good design it should keep her out of the wind.

but i hope mother nature can make up her mind with this weather, i swear that each year or two it is getting more and more random.

yay winter driving

well today though unexpectedly we ended up driving my friend Andy to Regina  going there was just rather windy so it was not all that bad, he wanted to go to future shop, so he took allot longer there than i was expecting. though knowing him i think i should have known better.

so after that we tried to go over to superstore but they closed about 20min sooner than we got there. so that was a bummer, oh well

but the fun came from my drive back home, it got even more windy, so it was blowing snow all over the roads, i did about 80 from Moose Jaw to Assiniboia.  it was not overly pretty.

though on the up side my wife did make some great melon bread today, it is just a sweet bread with a cookie dough over top so it was rather good.

my personal blog

i thought it would be good for me to start a blog has a way for me to share my life with my family and friends this is a pic of me and my wife Ai she is the love of my life i do not know what i would do with out her,

i hope you all enjoy the madness that is my life or what my ever it is that comes my way lets all learn and love.
