Oh boy! She sure is shining sunny and bright this morning, it must be absolutely lovely outside! FALSE! It is currently minus eleven (-11) heading to the balmy temperature of minus nine (-9) to then hover somewhere around minus four (-4) for the rest of the day, that is until the sun sets once more and the temperatures plummet again. Spring, especially early spring around here is a nightmare to plan for. Will it be hotter and sunny, windy and cool, rainy and cold, blustery and frigid? Sun, rain, wind, snow all on the same day? Sure thing pal, we got it coming right up. Special order just to ruin your day. Start the afternoon at the park sweating through your sweater, leave shivering in the freezing rain and flurries, and deeply plunging temps. Such fun! The ground is a soft mush, that smells awful. Puddles are stagnant and salty from the road grit getting pushed up onto the lawns.
I was thinking of taking my older child to see the new D&D movie, but I think it may be too scary. Lots of dead ghouls and jumping mimics and such. Not sure she can take that sort of a theater experience just yet. I wish that Mario Bros movie was out all ready. That looks silly, and colourful, and kinda fun.
I was going to do a brief write up about my resin build, but I will do that later this coming week, with photos! Oh, colour photos. Nice. So sit tight for that juicy piece.
I did something yesterday, I bought something for the house. No not a water softner or fridge. Though I feel the softner will come into play within the next two to three weeks. Don’t you worry about that. No, what I bought was a smaller generator for the house. Something that can run the fridge, and charge a phone & tablet for 11 hours on a single tank of regular 87 proof gasoline. Coming up on one year since the May 2-4 Djerecho wind storm, and twenty six plus hours without power. Now I didn’t buy a huge, nor massively expensive machine, so I can’t keep the AC going, nor fully power a house. But I can atleast keep our food from going bad. Which cost me half of what I paid for the generator, so I think it’ll be worth it over a few years of use. Plus – I can take it to the cottage, or out and about to run smaller power tools, where cords won’t reach. Utility. Functionality. A pre-planned preparation for the frequent black outs and power outages that we get here in Whitchurch-Stouffville every single summer. Now that’s what I call smarts. Plan ahead!
So nothing much on the docket for this lazy Sunday in what is now April. Didn’t see or hear too many April Fools jokes this year. They seem to fall flat during this time of Covid, and the mass waves of disinformation efforts coming from every conceivable grift opportunity. I saw what turned out to be AI generated images for an infant’s sky diving school. I saw Dave Bautista’s faux comedy special ad on Twitter, and there was something else but I can’t remember it, so it must not have been that funny/memorable. Maybe next year! Ciao Bella.
