Search Training Exercise

Posted on September 14, 2020 by

This past Saturday I attended a search exercise with Colchester Ground Search and Rescue along with several other local GSAR teams. It was actually a follow up to the Dylan Ehler search to search the shoreline of the Cobequid Bay for clues. We had a great day for it. Some felt it was a bit…

You Win Some, You Lose Some

Posted on August 30, 2020 by

Two years ago I ignored the warnings of a storm with high winds and rain and the roof of our gazebo was totally destroyed. We managed to find the last roof replacement in the Maritimes the following summer. So when the warnings came for the storm last night I thought I would do my best…

Why I’m a Volunteer

Posted on August 28, 2020August 28, 2020 by

Some of you may know I’ve been volunteering with Colchester Ground Search and Rescue for almost a year and a half now. The first year was spent getting the training to be a qualified searcher and involved a lot of exercises in the woods and fields around our base in Debert, including an overnight in…

Crazy Busy Summer

Posted on August 21, 2020August 22, 2020 by

I know Covid-19 affected a lot of people adversely especially when it comes to employment and income. I guess there has to be something good about being retired. This was one of my busiest summers ever. Being called out for several searches with Colchester Ground Search, and Rescue we had both sad results and good….

What’s Your Excuse?

Posted on August 18, 2020August 18, 2020 by

It seems avoiding a blog for a couple of years can have predictable results. Not that I had a huge readership to begin with, but my absence has cut it back to zero. It seems a lot of life got in the way and that’s my excuse. How about you? Did you ever start something…

Our Trip to Cape Breton (Second Day)

Posted on October 28, 2016 by

    Following a surprisingly restful night at the Margaree Riverview Inn we loaded the car, checked out of our room, and headed on up the Cabot Trail. First stop was for breakfast at the Belle View Restaurant in Margaree Harbour. Coffee was the biggest requirement but breakfast was good too.     The next…

Our Trip to Cape Breton (Day One)

Posted on October 25, 2016October 29, 2016 by

Since Marilyn and I hadn’t had any sort of vacation for several years now we decided we were going to break away this past September even if only for a short trip. It’s been more then 40 years since we last traveled around the Cabot trail so that’s what we decided we would do this year. Since…

It’s All About Family

Posted on October 16, 2015October 25, 2016 by

Most people appreciate their families most of the time. However, if you’re lucky enough to have family close to you all the time, you may not be as appreciative as you should be. I was reminded of it this week when my brother Allan and his wife Pat were able to pay us a visit…

Things That Make You Go Hmmmmm

Posted on March 31, 2015October 25, 2016 by

In 2007 McDonald’s used the slogan, “Things that make you go ‘mmmm’.” I’m not sure how effective it was for them, and I don’t think they were the first to use that slogan either. If I were to take on a slogan this week it would be “Things that make you go Hmmmm?” First was…

The Winter That Just Won’t Quit

Posted on March 18, 2015October 25, 2016 by

Wow! And we thought we had a rough winter last year! It was a walk in the park compared to this year. And it would appear that it’s not over yet by a long shot. When we moved into this apartment last summer it was with the thought that there would be no more snow…

What a Difference a Season Makes

Posted on March 8, 2015October 25, 2016 by

Anybody recognize this photo? It’s the same location as the one on the my home page. Victoria Park, Truro’s world famous jewel. No lolling around on rustic park benches today though. Couldn’t even find the rustic park benches. They were buried under a couple of meters of snow. In fact the trails themselves were a meter…
