Yesterday, dad and I dug the hole to Inter Mother's ashes. Sad days again.

Whale Watching

6:17 PM | Posted by bullwinkle | Edit Post

Last Wednesday we went Whale watching in Telegraph Cove, which is about 30 minutes south of Port McNeil.

We didn't see Orca,but we did see a Humpback Whale, which put on a bit of a show.

It breached a number of times.
We also saw Porpoise.

Changes

Out with the old:

In with the new:
This is a recumbent "exercycle" by Bodybreak, as sold by Sears Canada. Supposedly good to 275 pounds (according to Sears) Looking forward to workouts where I don't get pinched or squeezed, and where it doesn't bang, clunk, grind or make all sorts of other noises.

Yeehaw

The new exercise bike arrived today (I finally gave up on the old bike which kept breaking, and since the company which made it had gone buhbye - I had to build my own replacement parts.)

Details later.

Memories

8:11 PM | Posted by bullwinkle | Edit Post

I am looking at pictures, going over memories and trying not to cry, it's difficult, almost impossible. It is unbelievable how tired this has made me over the last month or so. My mother is out of pain, and will never suffer pain again, that is the one thing that I can think of to ease the agony somewhat. じゃね。

Elk

I am glad that I take my camera with me pretty much everywhere I go, today Penny spotted a herd of Roosevelt elk munching away in a farmer's field. These are a big animal... They are the largest of the Elk - a big one can weigh as much as 1000 pounds.

On a lighter note, a Varied Thrush

sits on a tree in my parents yard.

Tears

6:11 PM | Posted by bullwinkle | Edit Post

It has been a couple of weeks of tears and disbelief, dad has been going through mom's stuff, this morning Penny and I started going through her studio, lots of pain there, on her desk I found a newspaper clipping with this written on it: When I have come to the end of the road, And the sun has set for me I want no rites in a gloom-filled room, Why cry for a soul set free? And not with your head bowed low. Remember the love which once we shared, Miss me, but let me go. Author Unknown. :( じゃね
