Kottage-tek - Mp3 Edition

We have a problem down on the dock that needs a solution. Fortunately I figure out a solution and implement it. Finally, cold ones on the dock.

We do a major spring cleaning both inside and out. Karen fires the cottage mower and I cut up the old paddle boat with my demo saw. Then its of to the dump and them Mactier for plumbing supplies.

Faced with a boat full of bikini clad women, Bruce and Cliff take the neighnours tubing and waterskiing

Violent storms hit the Muskokas We also went for a field trip to check out some beaver baffles.

We add another "newish" BBQ to the ever growing fleet lined up on the deck. We also talk about some dumb crooks who stole a snowmobile and got caught.

Violent storms hit the Muskokas We spend the rest of the day repairing the washed out gravel on the driveway and walkways.

First Bruce starts the old two stroke snow blower in the dinning room Then he buys a sweet Troy-Bilt 24" 2 stage dream. Then I go to work on it. "Stay off the roads".

Pipi showed up today with his septic sucking truck. The biggest baddest shopvac on the cottage road

Bruce is finally able to get internet access at the cottage. And without a phone line or modem. We also rescued a chickadee on the deck and a crawfish in a beer can.

Well its firewood hunting season and Bruce actually had to buy firewood this year. we talked about just what is a bush cord and a face cord. We also cut some windfall trees with my new Stihl chainsaw. Thanks to CVR Motors (cvrmotors.com) for a sweet deal.

It has been a big weekend for wildlife outside the cottage. Including the 5-O'clock beaver. Now we need to send an exiction notice th the muskrat nesting in the floating dock.

Bruce has killed the septic field so its time to feed it. Bruce also dons Sarah's wetsuit to put in the water intake and the floating dock.

Cliff builds a new kitchen gadget just in time for BBQ season. The Wireless Pepper Mill! Bruce and Cliff have to borrow tools to get an early start on fixing the dock. Again.

Cliff builds a potato cannon, but not just any potato cannon. Thanks to a Pentium 4 cpu fan and a can of spray ether, this baby packs quite a punch and Cliff is already planning the thanksgiving dinner.

Its an early taste of summer at the cottage. I setup a wireless video stream for the mouse spa. Unfortunately our lack of connectivity foils us again.

A belated merry Christmas from Bruce and myself as well as all the gang at the cottage Karen did an incredible xmas tree as usual. We also did some outdoor decorating as well as sampling some bevies.

This was mostly a finish getting ready for winter kind of weekend. We closed up the crawlspace vents and Bruce did another upgrade to the mousey spa to Revision 3.0. We also went for a drive through the Wahta Mohawk reserve and nothing says late fall colors like all the indian smokes signs at almost every driveway. Especially "Smokes on The Wahta".

This time Cliff builds a bench for the back hall so they can sit down when they return from partying with the Barns Boys late at night They also get a visit from Mr. Plow while "The Women Folk" work on filling the kindling box
