29/Mar/23 power went out yesterday

 

Good morning world.

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

It would have been nice if the folks at Nova Scotia power would have put something in the mail box saying that they were planning to cut the power for about an hour yesterday.

Then again, they can do as they please.

When the Big Guy was looking at the NS Power outage maps, they put on there than it was just planned maintenance.

Not sure what maintenance they did.

Besides cutting the power for about an hour.

The Big Guy got a new clock for the bedroom.

It's an Echo DOT.

It woke him to a nice gentle chime this morning.

He used to rely on his watch vibrating.

But it's not an expensive watch, so it didn't always wake him.

He likes getting up really early so that he can take his medication before going to work.

Otherwise, it would be interrupting his work having to go to the bathroom.

Tonya ordered up some self rising flour.

She has plans for recipes she would like to make.

The Big Guy had made his own self raising flour.

But so far, the stuff he has made, has been less than stellar.

He has decided, he will just make regular dough from now on.

Perhaps Tonya will have better luck.

28/Mar/23 temperature slowly creeping upwards

 

Good morning world.

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

Yesterday, we got more snow.

But, we also got some rain later in the day.

So the snow that fell, melted.

Having said that, there is a lot more snow that still needs to melt.

Of course once the snow melts, then the front hedge will need to be trimmed.

Same with the trees between our house and Jim's house.

If it isn't one chore, it's another.

But the Big Guy also finds that it's a lot easier to do that summer work than the shoveling of the snow.

The property always looks so much nicer when it's all groomed.

You could say the same with myself.

I always look nicer after I get home from the groomer.

Pretty soon, I will have to go to the Vet for my own annual check up and shots.

The Vet is going to be telling Tonya that I'm over weight.

This is par for the course.

Tonya asked the Big Guy to make some chili for supper today.

I bet he will put onions and garlic in it.

But that's OK, Tonya will still give me some even though onions and garlic are like poison to me.

27/Mar/23 when are we walking again

 

Good morning world.

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

Yesterday, Tonya and the Big Guy went out.

I could smell Terry, Craig and Haas off them.

I guess there is a lot of the sidewalks that are still plugged up with snow.

So, while it isn't safe to go for walks, I don't go.

I guess they aren't walking either.

The Big Guy went outside yesterday morning and shoveled off the walk to the road.

But it snowed again yesterday.

He is hoping that it didn't snow that much.

He will have a look when he goes downstairs for his breakfast.

The Big Guy was wearing a T-Shirt that is filled with holes.

It reminded Tonya a lot of the T-Shirt that he had.

It also had a lot of holes in it.

Elaine went for a visit and put the T-Shirt in the garbage.

Mr. Clarke went into the garbage and took it out.

The Big Guy is going to put the shirt in the garbage and will not be taking it out.

The weather isn't looking so good for the snow.

Of course there is another snow event coming in for this Saturday.

They are forecasting another 10 cm of snow.

The Big Guy isn't happy about that.

He would much rather have rain and a lot of it.

Me too.

Snow, means the sidewalks aren't good to walk on and that means no walks.

Shit.

26/Mar/23 I got big paws and I can not lie

 

Good morning world.

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

These paws helps me when we are out walking and I want to climb the snow banks.

We haven't been out walking in a few days.

But that was due to the snow that plugged up the roads and sidewalks.

I wonder if yesterday's sun melted a lot of the snow that would have been on the sidewalks.

Did you see that path that goes from the front deck to the sidewalk?

After the Big Guy was out, the snow was still falling.

It all got filled back in.

He is not happy.

He has to go shovel that all out.

Otherwise, the mail will not be delivered to the door.

It isn't too cold out right now.

So, when the coffee is on, he could be outside shoveling that snow.

One less item he has to do later.

The Big Guy was talking with my Memere.  

I guess they are expecting a lot of snow today.

He just checked the weather maps.

Certainly not as much as we got on Friday.

34.5 cm of snow.

They are forecasting for 10+ cm of snow in Moncton.
