25/Aug/22 are you going to eat all that cheese

 

Good morning world.

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

Vice sitting on the front deck yesterday, they decided they would sit on the back deck.

This meant that I wouldn't be barking at everyone that walked by.

I could only see them for a very short period as they walked by the house.

The Big Guy prefers the front deck.

But, he also prefers that I don't bark.

Yea...

That isn't going to happen.

I see stuff.

I bark at it.

Especially other dogs.

Doesn't matter the size.

It's like my way of letting them know that I live here.

They can't smell my pee from that distance.

So...

I rely on sound.

Bark bark bark

The Big Guy isn't sure what it means in dog language.

24/Aug/22 had a Million Dollar Meal

 

Good morning world.

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

You are probably wondering, what it was that I had.

Well, only about a 1/2 million dollar for me.

Tonya made supper yesterday.

She fried up some hamburger.

Then added mushroom soup.

She steamed some peas and carrots.

Then, made mashed potatoes.

Start with a helping of mashed potatoes.

Top that with peas and carrots.

Top that with the fried hamburger and mushroom soup.

Voila...

The Million Dollar Meal.

Since Tonya only put aside some mashed potatoes and veggies, I only got about a 1/2 million.

The Big Guy loves simple meals.

You certainly don't get that at a restaurant.

Although, you might, if it was at a truckers restaurant.

They tend to be big on hearty meals.

During the Big Guy's time in the Navy, they never had anything that was close to that.

I'm sure it would have been a big hit.

23/Aug/22 I will nap and nap again later on

 

Good morning world.

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

Tonya and the Big Guy have been listening to books.

Not reading them.

Listening.

This allows Tonya to play her little game while the book is being read.

Apparently it's a thing.

It is called Audio Books.

They listened to this book, "The Hunt for the Red October".

The Big Guy has read this book at least 12 times or more.

He really likes that book.

They were listening to "Red Storm Rising".

It is supposed to be about 36 hours.

But the piece they were listening to, was only 8 1/2 hours long.

Tonya was really into it.

She was let down that the Big Guy didn't have the other parts to listen to.

He has applied for a library card and is going to see if the library doesn't have a recording of that book so they can finish listening to it.

There is also this subscription that they can get from Amazon.

Since they don't watch Disney + that much, they are considering swapping one for the other.

Tonya would be able to listen to "Harlequin Romance" during the day, when the Big Guy is at work.

She really loved the Grey series.  

The Big Guy can't remember the exact name of the books.  But something about 50 ways and the word Grey was also in it.  The Guy was into bondage and such and paddling the bum of this lady.

22/Aug/22 how much is that doggy in the window

 

Good morning world.

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

A long time ago.  The Big Guy's father had made a fiberglass canoe.

They did this in a town called Lawrencetown.  Or, just outside that town.

Eventually the canoe was painted, wooden pieces were attached and the canoe was moved to the cottage they owned in Cocagne New Brunswick.

The Big Guy used to take the canoe out on the river all the time.

There was one time, the Big Guy would have been a teenager at the time, he got upset about this or that.

Now, the river it about a 1/2 mile wide, just shy of a kilometer.

You can see the old homestead to the bottom right.

The Big Guy took the canoe and rowed out to what would be the left of the picture and put a pole into the mud and then put the bow line over the pole.

For context, the river is for the most part, 4 feet deep, at high tide.  There is a channel, and there, the river is about 8 feet deep.

So, the Big Guy had also brought a book with him.

He sat, in the canoe, reading a book, in the middle of the river.

It was a sunny day.

He was upset about something or other.

What do teenagers get upset about?

Everything and nothing, both at the same time.

Eventually, he thought he had made his point and rowed back to shore.

The Big Guy was really quite good at being in the canoe.

The Big Guy's father, also thought he was really good in the canoe.

But it was the Big Guy's father that tipped the canoe and fell into the water.

The Big Guy never once fell out of the canoe.
