Seeing as how it was 23C out there today and sunny, we took advantage of that fact and some scrap wood and hinges to start working on a Dachshund Ramp
As seen there on that page - 3rd picture down the page. We cut all the wood (first we had to find suitable wood, the hinges, and then set up the table saw - it's one of those collapsible mobile ones, find the circular saw and other tools and drag them all outside to where we were going to work) and brought it inside to be assembled later. We couldn't today because my husband's back locked up on him while he was trying to get the table saw ready to put away after we finished cutting the wood. I put all his other tools and stuff away for him, but I had to call a neighbour to come over and get the table saw back into it's collapsed mobile state so it could be put away too. So we brought all the wood pieces and hinges inside to assemble later on this week when we're able to find the time.
We wanted steak on the BBQ but since he's the BBQ master and his back was jammed in one position that didn't happen instead we had fried steak, with mushrooms, onions, peppers, & garlic fried together separate from the steak and baked potatoes for dinner.
For the time that it lasted with no back pain, or problems, we actually enjoyed ourselves - a throw back to earlier times when he used to do a lot of woodwork and when I used to help him do it, sometimes. We did a lot of that together especially before we had kids - after the kids were in the picture I had to manage to keep away from dangerous stuff - because my kids were inclined to want to get into it too. That included the many crafts I used to do, I couldn't for fear of them either winding up getting in my way and getting hurt because of it (think candle making and hot wax for instance or other such type hobbies - and my hobbies run the gamut from candle making and wood burning, to mosaics, beading, polymer clay, knitting, sewing embroidery and you name it). I'm always fascinated in how things are made by hand and if I don't know how I want to learn how, if I can. But for many years when it would be dangerous for the kids, or when they got older and had little patience for their silly parents, I just didn't bother. But now.... There's no stopping me now, except for making stupid promises that I can't keep like keeping this blog going until the end of the pandemic.....
Speaking of which.... I guess I'd better get on getting more of those October headlines posted if I want to get it over with anytime soon.
I'm an epidemiologist. Here are 5 things you should do right now to ride the wave of new COVID cases and prepare for the long winter. So pretty much continue to do what we've all already been doing since March.
New Conservative motion pushing for COVID-19 documents won't be made a confidence vote, Liberals say
John Ivison: At least Canadians now know that Trudeau's priorities don't include them And that is a surprise to someone? That little dirtbag cares about himself and that's all. I'd be surprised if he gave a flying F about any of the rest of his family except maybe mommy dearest because he seems to be mommy's little boy. He sure isn't Daddy's boy. The apple fell so far away from that tree that it rolled all the way over to the mommy tree and he became a pansified, self-centered, self-entitled, flake just like mommy dearest. So this doesn't come as a surprise to me anyhow.
Premier Kenney reiterates future COVID-19 restrictions will be ‘limited, discreet, targeted’ and based on data Too bad that's not the case here in QC too.
Selkirk RCMP officer tests positive for coronavirus, police say So does that mean that that whole detachment is closed because one officer tested positive?
Dr. Bonnie Henry expects 'beginnings' of vaccine to be available as soon as January Why beginning of January? When Pfizer basically indicated theirs was basically ready to go.
Blood of recovered COVID-19 patients shows little benefit as treatment That's very strange because in most other cases it does help.
POST COVID unrest? They should be more concerned about the unrest stemming from all the lockdowns and deprivations people are forced to endure WHILE THIS IS GOING ON, and not just there in Latin America, but around the globe!
Liberals rebuff Conservative push for documents on federal COVID-19 response Of course the "transparent Liberal gov't" rebuffed the push for documents, because they're so opaque they might as well be a stonewall, well I guess that's where the "stonewalling" term came from. From transparent gov'ts that don't want to let anyone see, or know anything, because they're such lying crooked snakes in the grass.
At least some areas of this country wants to try to make things fun and interesting for others especially the kids, instead of like the grinches Dube, Legault & Arruda are doing here in QC.
Santa Claus won't be coming to Macy's this year Are there still any Americans out there that needed to be told this without already intrinsically knowing it?
Early snow brings rising interest in cross-country skiing as COVID winter approaches We should all find ways to keep active and busy during the winter months as most of us naturally stay home and hibernate during the winter and don't go out much for anything at all, unless we have to, but this year may be a bit different especially for those working from home as their commute involves way less walking than it would if they had to go out to work. Granted some don't walk all that far, especially if they have a VIP parking space at work and their office/desk is near the entrance. But for others they may have to walk to bus stops and then up and down stairs to and from subway trains and then finally into the building and down a long corridor or two to get to their office and/or desk, which is much further than walking from the bedroom to the livingroom or basement or whatever room has been designated as the "office" these days. So those people may be getting considerably less exercise and given the proximity to the fridge, that may not be helping in the weight dept either. So getting some outdoor excise may be just what people need this winter as opposed to usual winters gone by.
Elections Canada ready to run a snap election during a pandemic, says chief electoral officer That's one of the things I want the most is an election but this time where Canadians have smartened up and don't repeat their colossal mistake the 3rd time around!
Proposed legislation aimed at COVID-related lawsuits expected to protect businesses Is that like the "honest efforts" that I see going on in grocery stores these days? Where they don't care if everyone is standing on top of everyone else? And that there's no social distancing being practiced anymore? But yet they have all the appropriate stickers on the floors and plexiglass set up, but they don't follow any of the guideline with any caution at all, but hey if they were taken to court they could take pictures of all the fancy floor stickers and plexiglass to try to convince the judge that they were following all the rules when in fact they weren't. Like those honest efforts hmmm????
WHO's Tedros says countries on "dangerous track" in pandemic And all of those countries, along with everyone else in the world can thank this corrupt ash hole for it.
Philippines' Duterte promises payment as Red Cross stops COVID-19 tests I guess he doesn't have much choice.
They can get one before the end of the year, it looks like the US might have one near the end of the year or very beginning of the next one but bozo brains in Ottawa is saying Canada won't have one until next spring?????
Coronavirus: Chester drive-in movie bogged down by lockdown loos Yeah, that's the problem we had here in QC in the spring. We could go out shopping but if we had to go to the washroom while shopping, tough luck, there was no where where you could go.
That's a wise investment. Even after the virus has been eradicated, it can still help filter out other pollutants and germs in the air.
Coronavirus: Macron announces curfews in France to halt spread of Covid-19 I seriously don't understand this curfew nonsense. Is the virus supposed to know what time it is and only spread between such a time and such a time or something like that? Instead of curfews, try things like full lockdowns except for essential services (which includes food stores), they seem to work better than stupid curfews appear to do.
Yet another projection that's probably hyped up hyperbole.
The US just reported its highest number of Covid-19 infections in one day since the pandemic's start
A BETTER Fall A Fall Survival Guide for COVID19.
Anyhow that's about it for tonight.... More later - until then, take care & stay well.
