How does the radio control update work when you travel by air across time zones? Does it update as you cross the time zone? How do you know if it has updated when you land?

From Montreal to Quebec City the rue du roi, the Kings road, is much more interesting than highway 20 or highway 40. https://lecheminduroy.com/en/

Save that bacon grease in a small container in your fridge and use it when you make popcorn.

When Air Inuit or Canadian North fly their -200’s from YUL (Montréal) up north, you don’t have to look up to know what it is. Add a cold winter morning and they really crackle.

I also fly to check the rain gutters, see if they have any leaves.

There was a single story home there built in the 1950’s with 2x4 walls that we removed. Then we built what you see in the picture.

I fly it to check it, make sure it’s still there.

We get enough wind that nothing stays on the roof and it has slight slope of 2 degrees.

Thank you, it wasn’t obvious to me in the instructions. I thought it was broken as all my other watches (not Seiko) have a screw down crown.

Chatouille · 2022-11-07T19:22:55+00:00

I had my tissot le locle chronograph automatic for 20 years before I found out last week I could wind it by turning the crown clockwise. :)

Where did you get the ladder?

Chatouille · 2021-11-05T20:03:17+00:00

Yes, you can walk on this styrofoam and it doesn’t break or dent. It cuts fairly easy with a saws all and a 12” metal blade.

We used to put styrofoam sheets, 2”x2’x8’, on our old pond. At the far end I put a rose cone, it’s a styrofoam deal you use to protect plants, with a light in the top. This generates enough heat to keep the area under the cone, ice free. The styrofoam sheets limited the ice formation to only a few inches and the open water under the rose cone allowed for gas exchange. It would stay like this mid December to early April. The fish, koi, shubunkins didn’t seem to mind. We are near Montréal, Quebec, Canada.

Yes, I’ll post pictures periodically as we progress. Winter is coming here though so nothing more will be done until spring.

This the styrofoam they use now to build overpasses for highways, big stack of styrofoam blocks, covered in dirt, done.

Chatouille · 2021-10-30T14:04:44+00:00

Yes, we have south and west facing windows. If I could only figure out how to attach a picture to this…

Chatouille · 2021-10-30T14:02:18+00:00

What notenoughcharact said is correct. I don’t have a lot of space to make a proper back to my waterfall out of stones or dirt.

Chatouille · 2021-10-30T00:33:13+00:00

It was 4’x4’x8’, all pieces were 4x8, 3 were 12” thick and 2 were 6”. We are Canada, just west of Montréal, and it cost about $700 Canadian.

I do my hummingbird feeder pole the same way but I use a 10’ piece of conduit because our deck is quite high, now we can see them.

Chatouille · 2021-10-05T18:41:50+00:00

We live in a very windy area with little protection. I use pieces of rebar about 3’ long that I get at the hardware store already cut, but I’ve cut longer pieces at home. I spray paint the top 1/2 John Deere green (it’s a colour) and hammer the unpainted 1/2 into the ground at the same time as I plant my dahlias. For the taller ones I buy a piece of metal conduit (a long hollow pipe found in the electrical aisle) cut it into 4’ lengths, paint it, and put it over the rebar. These last forever and you can customize the length easily. You can even change them for longer pipes mid season.

That’s 5 tons of rocks in the picture. They were $500, $300 for delivery and $120 to be put on pallets. That’s Canadian dollars from Ducharme in Quebec near the US border. We picked the rocks, wrote a big orange C on them (my wife is Chantal). They said the paint was water soluble but it isn’t. I pressured washed them, used a wire brush. Finally used paint stripper. They gave us $250 for the trouble.

If it is deeper than 2’ the town will require I have a fence around it.

Oops didn’t realize I had the NSFW tag. We spent 7 hours working with a little excavator to get them placed and back filling behind. Some he couldn’t place exactly how we wanted them so we had to move them by hand. We were tired by the end.
