🚇 for FE 26 ...

 🚇...... closing out the month .....

sunny day. cold ish and damp ish. Ah. winter hanging on w/ grit and determination
global wa rming, eh.
I'm sure there is a spin on that theme that explains this winter

SNOW. COLD so Canada

ran errands this morning.Shoppers Drug and on the way - Top Binz, the leftover store. Like Amazon rejects.
Ah. today was  $ 1.50 day [ for anything ] or more accurately, rag picking day
I left w / no rags

And finally, I got a pedicure. All of 2025, bending my left leg was a pain or caused pain
today. now healed or only inconvenienced ...... had to try

 I felt great, there, and after and now.  Thanks

🚧 ...when its slick and greasy

 🚧 Prediction s were quite varied w / streamers and clippers possible 

Overnight, the volume was not great but a layer of snow is down
roads are passable but slick and greasy looking [ all from the comfort of the den corner desk

As well, snow volumes were likely even Wed day time 

I shovelled the side walkway as the crew kinda stopped short of the back sliding doors

Not bad. Light for the most part

🎰 for a sunny day

 🎰 Feb 24

' photos keep stopping ' window message pops up thru out the time that I use the Chromebook. Yes, its happened before and went away after - I did something. Clear the cache or uninstall / re - install the photo app. 
Again. then

' boro in a respite mode, awaiting more snow. However, today, below freezing but welcoming, at least

On the whole. it is gratifying to do a search on Google - and you find this photo glitch isn't yours alone. I mean the answer shows up in a few beats.

" you are not alone "

the story. I know that I bought a rug cleaning [ hand held ] machine to clean the boat carpet. Thus, I searched and not finding ' the green machine ' , I asked A ... to look at the cottage. 
No. And A .. said ' I'm sure that you said that you would take it home '.
OK. no luck. garage, basement ...... no green box
Duh. Its a Dirt Devil, rug and upholstery clean machine [ box is off white ].
Had it in my head, green machine !

End of saga. used the Dirt Devil, last night. Results are unclear.

🚠 Feb 23

 🚠 the ' boro got a light dusting. The crew came late afternoon to remove an inch, then the light dusting. And there will be no melt for a few days

Well, when you live in the land of the silver birch [ traditional song lyric ]
you get snow and beavers [ yepper, in the song ]

what is simple

really. as in register for your Canadian Revenue Acct.
what is your line 11500 amt. OK, that was 6 min searching
got better, what was line 15000 amt [ better, only 3 minutes ] BTW this is a timed session, 18 min max

and a whole lot of quick reading, and ' no ' mistakes [ maybe ]

We shall see said the Zen Master

AND at first it said do you have a code and ID. well, I don't think that they gave me one

🐇 ... bunny on your doorstep

 🐇... camouflaged in grey - white fur .....

snow flurries all day. and I need to go north to Richmond Hill for a funeral.

Drive up was messy. Drive back busy and better overall
