Cheating tonight the missus had her hairdresser over so we're having a store bought frozen pizza with extra cheese I grated. Side salad with some marinated artichokes and sweet peppers with loads of garlic. That should keep the vampires away....

Either the garlic or the temperature. Blood does not flow as well in subzero temperature.

Good one. Way to "coin" a phrase.

Just remember some of the old wise sayings as you go through the day, and it will help you keep everything in perspective:

"A horse in the hand is worth two birds in a bush".
"You can lead a camel to water, but you cannot make him thread a needle".

I hope this gives your day some clarity and peace.

Do you walk to school.Or carry your lunch?

Walked backward, uphill both ways to school. Snowed every day.

Apparently Minelab has a promotion - free 15 inch coil with the purchase of an Equinox 800.

I just ordered mine today, and the dealer sweetened the pot by tossing in a free book.

Price indicated is in Canadian dollars, almost worthless.

The village I live in may as well be a ghost town, researching older photos of the town during its heyday shows the location of the now missing hotel, bank, railway station and the Hudson Bay trading post.

Two old churches with one still active and a couple of old schools closed about 15 years ago.

It's going to be a busy summer.

My first hunt, the old railway station long gone but its location has been identified from old photo's

I'm hoping some treasures had fallen between the cracks in the boardwalk between the station and the tracks.

Pat wants to search an old village site called the Bend everything on the map below has potential.

Our home is one mile south of Elphinstone, no neighbors.

Just wanted to pop in and say hello, I've been on the road in Vegas for the past few days. I'm just about to head over to Harrah's to meet one of my associates for a bit of slot play before we meet the entire sales team for dinner tonight at the Hudl Brewery.

Thought you'd like to see the view from my hotel room window.

Just a heads up about the railway station back in the day it was steam locomotives and they used the cheap metalurgical coal. When it was spent it was used as ballast along the roadbed. In other words what called hot rocks it might give you and the machine some grief because they'll sound off like targets....lol.
