Another snowy morning, with a hair-raising slippery white-out highway drive to Courtenay. Fortunately this time it melted by noon, and the rain took the last of last week's snow with it. Tomorrow will be another day of clearing out the garage.
Have a good evening, all.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

Good Morning soot, Taintedfury, Connie, old broad and everyone. Super strong dark brew awaits along with strong Earl Grey tea, and dark hot chocolate. Another windy cold March day ahead. Hubby and I are starting to watch for our "owl" friends that have been nesting in a hole in a maple tree right outside our living room windows. They have been coming for the last 3 years and we have watched the babies grow and learn to fly. Got some pictures of the little ones and the parent owls too. Have a great day! Gerry

I fear that our already-nesting hummingbirds were wiped out by the recent cold snap because there was almost nobody feeding them. I haven't seen one for a week.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

It is a joy indeed to watch hagatha. They are amazing creatures. Father owl sits in a tree near by guarding and hunting for food while Mother owl sits in the nest in the hollow of the tree. We have actually seen him sit on the edge of the hole and drop a fresh kill in! When the babies are big enough they slowly come up and look out the hole...its like watching a puppet show the way they slowly appear and look around with those big eyes! Strong dark brew, Earl Grey tea and dark hot chocolate are ready. Happy Friday! Gerry

Had a lovely start to my morning! Had a minor disaster on the way to bowling last night. I hit something large and metal on the highway just in town and had to park my poor truck at the Casey's gas station overnight! Whatever it was slashed my right rear tire and I had to have it towed this morning. When I was telling the clerk at Casey's I had to leave my truck a woman came in and said she had hit it too. She pulled in to see if she had any damage because it sounded like it tore her car apart! While we were waiting for the tow this morning, we saw them put up a barricade and lights and move the piece to the side of the highway. We looked at it on the way home and it was about 2 - 3 feet across and crumpled metal. It appears that several other cars hit it. Told my friend Kim who picked me up for bowling I didn't have to worry about someone breaking in overnight and trying to steal it.... no one today can drive a stick shift!
Had it towed to my tire place and by the time we got there, he had already ordered a new tire and it will be ready by 5:00 today. I MIGHT have 500 miles on these tires and they have road hazard coverage, so it won't cost me anything!
Was supposed to do a tour down at the horse rescue this morning, so I had to cancel that. I know they are short handed this weekend, so I hope they found someone to conduct the tour!

That sounded SO dangerous, Draclvr !! Glad you weren’t hurt 🌺
Stick shifts are widespread here in the UK. In fact in my 57 years (so far) of driving, and of all the vehicles I’ve ever owned, none have been auto gears - although I’ve driven plenty of auto geared that weren’t mine 😑😑

Mad, you can't even GET a manual transmission on most passenger vehicles here any more. This is a 2004 truck purchased new by my step-daughter and she had to special order the 5-speed manual transmission. The tow truck driver said they call a stick shift the "Millennial Anti-Theft Device!"
