How to lose track of time? Why… trolling around in Wikipedia. If I want ways to burn away time, that’s a silly way to do it. When I want to have a more meaningful and rewarding activity, that’d be messing around on our woodlot. And whittling. I get a lot of joy turning a metre long green branch into a pile of chips. And rotating through a bunch of cutlery, appreciating each blade’s geometry. Oh, and sharpening. I can get fixated on sharpening. Surprisingly, I can also lose myself with splitting firewood… present soft-tissue injuries notwithstanding!

I imaged this critter by our backyard soil operation.Our elderly house-panther in his quiet place.Our elderly house-panther disturbed from his slumber.Our elderly house-panther deciding to go airborne, graceful AF.This stock image shows a heat exchanger that MIGHT be needed for our master bedroom.If you speed, you risk going into the swampy ditch. DON’T be that guy/gal.Enjoy the maple grove; this is forestry DONE RIGHT.Careful, there’s a hidden driveway beyond this point!You can see where the plaster naturally cracked, and its ongoing needed maintenance.And this structure is FOR DAY USE ONLY.If our battery system ever suffered catastrophic failure, I want it OUTSIDE the house!That’s not an air-cooler. It’s something ELSE.Cooks, thank you for taking on an apprentice. WE MUST TRAIN THE NEXT GENERATION, no?I prefer this feeder-model over the cheap imitations.Click on the image for its background, eh.
