5C Clear. It went down very close to the freezing mark overnight, the sun is warm but the air is cool. I'll go to the lake later and go out in the canoe, it looks like a day where I will need the sunblock. The ribs turned out nicely yesterday, and I will have more for supper. After several poor...

Cold n wet with thick clouds of passing biting flies 10C. I have a good case of cabin fever with the constant wet weather. I might get out of the house tomorrow for a day before the cold rains return. I'll go out in the canoe if I can. I prepped a plank of ribs yesterday, and will slow bake them...

9C Cold and wet. Yesterday I went in for a supply run, and decided to go to Mr Sub for a sub sandwich I have not had in years due to dietary constraints. The sugeon said I should be able to tolerate the added fiber from the vegies they put in their sandwiches. It was a great lunch and enjoyed...

7C down right chilly, but the sun will come out before the cold rains come for the weekend. I found simply spraying some insect repellent inside the outhouse most effective. Maybe because its fairly dark inside the outhouse but those fly tapes didn't work so well, but they work great in the...

I'll stay well beyond the fringe area Carol, TMI alert: Yikes keep the loo rolls handy😵. 8C cold n soggy with an outhouse full of biting flies just waiting.

There was no majestic ship, but rather just me in the canoe yesterday on the lake, a dandy afternoon in the upper 20's cruising the lake with a cooler in my hand, away from the biting flies waiting upon the shore. When it was time to leave, at the dock the flying blood sucking syringes made...

I may go out in the canoe again today as the weather looks good in the upper 20's and take advantage of it as the rest of the week looks cooler and unsettled. My body is pretty much back to normal in terms of doing things, I cut some of the lawn yesterday until I got rained out. But I do feel...

Yesterday was a milestone post surgery. After lunch I put the canoe into the water and spent the afternoon on the lake. While I was out I saw a duck with chicks, and a deer standing on the shoreline, the weather was about ideal; temps in the mid 20's, calm winds and partly cloudy. So far no new...

Things have settled down, the cat is well, and I am not making so many trips to the outhouse, but still have loose output. I had a dandy afternoon at the lake, its warmer as it got to 24C, but not that summer heat I'm looking for that kills off insects and puts the warmth into my bones. Maybe...

Welcome to my club, I don't feel so alone;)with the state of the weather. 13C overcast with billowing clouds of biting flies. The cat gave me a scare last night as she was getting sick and was in pain. She later did her business on the floor, having had the symptoms of constipation, once this...

Today is the solstice, it comes at 3:50 CDT, then things should improve in the following weeks as the worst of the year is behind us, in my opinion as the real summer should rise. Spring around here is not at all like it is portrait in romance or story books; spring here is unrelentingly raw...

It felt good to get out of the house, went in for stoma maintenance and they want to put me on home care as I have aggressive granulation going on around the stoma along with the stuborn rash. When it comes to post op healing its a couple steps forward followed by a step back. Being older, I can...

I can safely say that summer is in the dumpter for 2024, I've written it off, looking forward to fall, and counting the days, you are not alone Carol. I've got a bad case of cabin fever from being indoors too much. 10C gray with heavy clouds of biting flies, the worst in years with no end in...

12C Gray. Seems the four year expired magnesium zinc tablets worked and brought some relief. Heat wave conditions to our east and cold with some snow on higher ground to our west, with clouds of biting flies in between. A good day to hibernate.

12 C Wet and raw. A stark contrast from the weather yesterday when I sat out on the dock for the afternoon in summer conditions getting a tan. Your healthcare system is far more robust than what we have here. We cannot get any of these aids of assistance, but they will allow a very small income...

15C The blockage passed, but over the last few days I have a bad case of restless leg syndrome, it feels like something crawling inside my legs and arms when I am sitting, and only goes away when I get up and move only to return if I sit down. It maybe due to the iron deficiency. I take very few...

You are not alone Carol, I put on a good fire this morning to take off the chill, and this summer is proving to be another to add to the list of cold summers we keep getting now. I was concerned about having to lift the airconditioner into the window, but given the weather next week, I have...

12C unsettled, I'm sure going through the firewood this year, making up from what I saved from the mild winter, and the mosquitos are the worst we have seen in years. No news from the doctor is good news Carol, but I did have my zoom meeting with the surgeon. I thanked her for the work she did...

Any surgery after this kind will seem pretty minor by comparison. A gallbladder will be a walk in the park Tony. I'll be going in for an MRI for my wrist later this summer, and the surgery will seem like a doctor visit, at least until I will want to use the hand effected. I rode the ATV all the...

Its going to be 6 weeks since the operation and I am pretty much back to my old self. Going to see the surgeon for follow up. 8C expecting rain.
