No guns this year and the new Wild Bunch rig hasn't arrived yet, but I did receive a surprise addition to my medal collection, to augment something similar I received a while ago. 

More shadow boxes for the displays are now in order and I'll have to re-arrange things on the walls in my den/office.

Here's one of a set of something of a Canadian nature I recently completed: The Order of Military Merit, in the degrees of Companion, Officer and Member.

Sorry for the side ways pic. I can't seem to make it "hang" properly in the post.

How about a picture of the HUGLO? I've heard of them - Good Things!After a couple of weeks of -20 to -30 temperatures, today, the temperature does an about face and goes above freezing and we're expecting rain,

followed by more sub-zero temperatures; just to make driving interesting.And I get to take SWMBO to the hospital for tests. 

(Thought I was back home for an instant and we we're having a Chinook!)

Now get off my snow covered lawn.

We had a January Thaw here in Ottawa.

I had a drift almost four foot high piled beside my driveway and 2 foot in the flat areas.

Temperature went up above 12 degree C. it rained and most of the snow melted and the grass reappeared.

Three hours later: a fast freeze, with freezing rain, followed by snow.

Think I'll do some Snowbirding in a couple more weeks.

OOHH! Jabez!

You said a bad thing.

You know that as harmless, peace-loving Canucks, we're just supposed to call 911, then lie back, and take it.
