Early retirement, moving to Lion’s Head, watching our forever-home being built!
Homes in the bush, stepping away from full-time pedagogy.
If I **must** wear clothes, then it’s boots. Waterproof & insulated snowboots!
**Must**...?! Let me explain. When the Georgian Bay is warm enough, I enjoy doning neoprene and hopping into Five Fathoms Marine Park. Now that I have more time, I can resume this passion using Diver's Den as my preferred charter. That, and go fishing. I'm enjoying my first night at my new home (while we … Continue reading If I **must** wear clothes, then it’s boots. Waterproof & insulated snowboots!
Toronto Island!
I like to signal boost.
In 3 years, I’m going to be mucking around on the farm!

In 3 years, I will be 55 years old and undoubtably marveling at the cliche bantered around in the 1990's marketing campaign (by some insurance company)... "freedom 55". I made it, despite the challenges … Continue reading In 3 years, I’m going to be mucking around on the farm!
Podcasts, yes!
I enjoy audio, without tormenting my spouse.
A manicure (fix these claws up)… that’s what I would try.
Pedicures and Flesherton detours.
Come visit us at Elora (Ontario) this weekend!
Semi-retired. Busy!
We’ve got a rental!
We have an interim place to live!
My priority? Today, check out rentals. Tomorrow, (gentlemen) farm maintenance.
TS needs a bigger table; PN needs to mess around on the woodlot.
My Chromebook is well-travelled (in the USA)…
However, it won’t properly log onto guest networks at Holiday Inn nor Hilton properties. Here in Dayton Ohio, I had a CAT5 cable provided by the kitchenette. No joy. My guest credentials are denied. Unfortunately, I disagree with HowToGeek’s assessment (link). https://www.howtogeek.com/659499/traveling-bring-a-chromebook-theyre-encrypted/ My opinion: Leave your Chromebook at home. Log on using iDevices and immediately … Continue reading My Chromebook is well-travelled (in the USA)…

Revisions, revisions, revisions (and it gets THOSE IDEAS out of my f**king head)!
Daily writing promptWhat do you enjoy most about writing?View all responses As a newly retired standup science philosopher (high school science teacher), I understand that writing is a SKILL.

The Great Lakes, the food, my friends, and (occasionally) fast freeways out of town!
Daily writing promptWhat do you love about where you live?View all responses When TS and I were looking for property... what... 10 years ago, she insisted that we be no more than 1 day's drive from the big smoke (Toronto). I couldn't understand that need. I was looking at property around Lake Superior... or at … Continue reading The Great Lakes, the food, my friends, and (occasionally) fast freeways out of town!
I’m still learning blog-fu.
I posted an entry on TS’s channel. Here’s a link to it. https://blackdogbiscuits.ca/2023/08/13/firewood-dog-biscuits-peace-and/ Wonky post? Poor formatting? Let me know, eh.
For me? I always carry cutlery!
What is the most important thing to carry with you all the time? …in TS’s case, a healthy dose of skepticism.

Working with my cutlery…
Describe one habit that brings you joy. …while TS slings dog biscuits. Do I get bitten by my flock? Indeed. And… and I try to learn from the error. I also used to spend too much on fancy (Japanese-water… and Arkansas) sharpening stones, until I read this bush-crafter’s seminal work (and it’s well written, too). … Continue reading Working with my cutlery…
