RCMP Musical Ride Comes to Owen Sound |
Monday, September 11, 2023 |
This Saturday Marie, Cathy and I had tickets to the RCMP Musical Ride at the Bayshore. The opening acts consisted of a dog show and horse jumping. It had been 30 years since I saw the Ride. At that time they were accompanied by the RCMP Band and were in a much larger venue. It was a little less spectacular without the band and the smaller arena made it a little difficult for the horses.

Our New Mustang has Arrived |
Saturday, September 9, 2023 |
On Friday September 8th Marie and I drove to Kincardine to pick up the 2024 Mustang that we ordered in May. It was a great experience. They had it in the showroom for us to see. Although it wasn't a great day for a convertible being overcast and cold, we very much enjoyed the ride home in our new car.

Our Owen Sound Grandchildren Bring Joy to our Lives |
Saturday, September 12, 2020 |
A recent study showed that Europeans spend more time with their grandchildren than North Americans and past the age of seventy the grandfather takes the lead while grandmothers are clearly more involved with their grandchildren before age seventy. This could be due to the fact that in North America families are more geographically dispersed.

Repairing Our Samsung Dryer Using YouTube |
Sunday, December 12, 2021 |
Four years ago we purchased a new Samsung Dryer and Washer. Recently Marie notice the dryer started to squeak while drying. Later the “squeak” turned into an annoying “squeal”. We thought it was a squeaky belt so we thought we should call a repair service and we were anticipating a $300 to $400 bill.

My Taste in Cars, Past, Current and Future |
Monday, November 14, 2022 |
I thought it would be interesting to post the cars I’ve driven over the past twenty years and take a look at where we are headed in the future. In May 2022 we ordered out next Lincoln to replace our Continental with the expectation that it would be delivered in October. Unfortunately, after waiting nearly ten months we finally got an estimate delivery date of March 2023.
