16/Feb/21 what is this freezing rain your talking about

 

Good morning world.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home, in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Later on, it's supposed to be freezing rain.

I always thought that frozen rain, was snow.  But I guess this is different.  This stuff can create a frozen film of ice around stuff.  

Now for power lines, that's bad.  Really bad.  Power lines weigh a lot to start with.  But add this film of frozen ice around the power line and it gets worst.  The power lines will get really heavy and will snap.

I know that no power, means no heat in the house.

As far as cooking, it isn't so bad.

The Big Guy purchased this coleman camping stove years ago.

Now, there is also a warning, that says not to cook indoors.

But, it also begs the question.  What about those people that have propane stoves in their homes?  How come they can cook and no body says anything about that?

I can eat my kibble, at room temperature.  So i think I will be fine, even if the power goes out.

15/Feb/21 may the force be with you

 

Good morning world.

Both Tonya and the Big Guy like this program that this little guy is from.  His name is Grogu.  But, before they knew what his name was, everyone called him "The Baby", or "Baby Yoda".

Last night, Tonya and the Big Guy had fish and chips.  It was pan fried, so I was allowed to have some of Tonya's fish, once it had cooled down.

Tonight and tomorrow, we are supposed to get some nasty weather.  It's the type of weather that a lot of people dread.

Freezing Rain.

That stuff will take down trees and power lines.

This is the type of stuff that takes experienced drivers off the roads, as they know better than to be driving around in it.

Tonya was telling the Big Guy that she has to drive Mylynne and Aurora to some sort of Dr appointment.  The Big Guy told her, she had better think about cancelling.  At least for a day or two.

So, other than baby Grogu and some cookies that Tonya bought from the neighbor, Valentines Day was pretty quiet.

14/Feb/21 I'm looking outside for my Valentine

 

Good morning world.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home, in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.

I've got a story that the Big Guy told me.  It happened a long time ago.  Back when the Big Guy was a Little Guy and they lived in Montreal.

They used to travel, from Montreal, to their cottage, which was located in Notre Dame, on the Cocagne River in New Brunswick.  It used to be a long trip as there wasn't much of a divided highway back then.

They used to leave and then drive through the night.

Back then, kids didn't wear seat belts.  Plus, it wasn't unusual to smoke in the car, even though there was kids in the car.

Smoking, plus being in the car, most kids got sick.  Now, the parents wouldn't admit that it was the smoking.  They would say that the kids got motion sickness.

For that reason, we had an empty ice cream bucket in the back of the car.

Mum would have been driving and the sun was well above the horizon.  Dad was having a smoke.

That's when Marc got sick.  In the bucket.  Since Dad was the passenger, he turned around to help Marc.  

Then, Marcel got sick.

Mum couldn't pull over cause she was on a bridge.

OK, the next bit is going to be gross, so be warned.

I threw up a bit in my mouth.  But both Marc and Marcel were using the ice cream bucket.  

So I swallowed it.

Ack!

I just realized, I swallowed puke.

YACK!

I regurgitated all over my father's arm.

The look of shock on my father's face.

Mum was off the bridge and was pulling to the side of the highway.

All three of us are crying.  Marc and Marcel cause they got sick.  But myself for barfing all over my father.  

Boy was he mad.

Once the car was stopped and turned off, Dad got out of the car and went for a walk, up and down the highway.  He was having another smoke.

Mum got us all cleaned up.  Dad was still pacing the highway, having another smoke.  Cursing up a storm.

After Mum got us settled, she went and spoke with Dad.

Mum got in the passenger seat and Dad took over the driving.  He didn't say much for the rest of that trip.

Oh, those were the days...

13/Feb/21 was that a dog I hear walking down my street

 

Good morning world.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home, in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.

It's early and the city has woken me up.

I can hear the constant BEEP BEEP BEEP of heavy machinery.

They are removing the snow banks from the side of the streets.

The Big Guy couldn't care less.  Leave the snow there.  It is free water for the grass come Spring time.

Tonya made a roast yesterday.  It was a tough cut of beef.

The Big Guy didn't say anything.  He ate it and was happy as a clam.  She was cooking and he was eating.

But he did say that he will be taking what is left of the roast and putting it through his food processor.  He will turn it into some sort of pulled pork.

Then they will be able to mix it with the gravy and the potatoes.  That roast will not be so tough after that.
