Good morning!!!!

[gstrom99]

I've heard of a lot of people that had sore arms or not feeling good after the shingles vaccine shots, I guess I'm one of the more fortunate ones. No soreness or issues with either shot, got my second one yesterday also.

The first one hit me pretty hard, sore arm and felt like I had been rolling in a clothes drier the next day. Second one, I only had a slightly sore arm.

Good Morning Looking4new,
Dont they have mandatory drug tests for truck drivers in Canada ? I got tested 3 times last year, and again last week, thought it was kind of hillarious at my age !

Most drivers, yes. International drivers as per U.S. rule.
I feel that as long as I am responsible for their $100,000.oo tractor( they bought it used) and $250,000.oo set of tank trains, I do not smoke dope within 24 hours of going to work. On my 36 reset I allow myself to party for the first 12 hours. That gives me the 24 immediately before I go on duty to get my act together. For the past 10 years I haven't left the Province. You might call it 'short haul', I prefer to call it 'regional' trucking.
I don't leave Ontario.
If you get convicted of impaired or Over 0.08 then you get to have an ignition interlock on every vehicle you drive...There goes the trucking job,right out the window. I don't know of any company in this country that would pony up for one of them for the truck you drive. Impaired by drugs and/or alcohol.
15 years ago I put my foot down with the Company and they told me that I would NEVER be sent to the 'States again. I don't do drug tests. As long as I am not running around impaired then there is no reasonable reason to test me. A lot of people at work including the manager of our fleet know, but have never seen me smoke dope.
I have lots of 'wont power'. I have 5 acres of dense bush, if I want to be one with nature.

Got camper back on pad.
About all today. Did get the new battery for jump starter. Installing was pain, posts not in same position and had to fudge a little.

Some gasbuddy prices.

50 and clear @ 20:45, heading down to around 47F for the low.

Got roughly 70 potted strawberry runners trimmed off the plants they came from, weeded, watered, pruned, and placed up on the shelves where they'll get good sun for the next several days (and where the deer can't get to them ... )

Probably have another 30 or so to go.

Also got the monofilament fence rebuilt.

Alarm was chiming when I went out so turned it off, remembered to turn it back on when I came in for the evening.

Water Buffalo not refilled and no holes melted, was a little breezy. Winds should be lighter tomorrow so may get to the holes then.

Woman went with neighbor to see another friend who is in the hospital with complications after colon cancer surgery.

A couple of years ago when I talked to the guy that originally drilled the well here he didn't have a whole lot to offer regarding restoring the well beyond suggesting that we could have it brushed and bailed. Not even sure that he had the equipment to brush it. And didn't seem terribly optimistic as to whether it would do much good.

Researching it a bit, I recently discovered water wells can be hydro-frac'ed ... and found this young man on YouTube who has done a lot of videos on it:

Seems to be down in Buppies neck of the woods.

Interesting stuff.

Now I just need to see if I can locate someone who provides this service locally.

Hope every one had a decent day ...

Good (Thursday) evening. Overnight Low of 11C, daytime High of 18C (wind-chill made it 13C) and it's presently 17.8C. Some gusty wind in the arvo with the odd shower.

Firstly, apologies for having to 'skip' everyone's postings from yesterday up to now. As to my day's it's practically the same as the day before manning the pre-poll station. This will all be over by Saturday evening (@ 1800)... and then the counting begins. We'll know the results, pretty much, later that evening.

In the meantime, I've got a booth assistant now who is staying with me in one of my spare bedrooms. It's a great relief to have him. I continue to get along 'famously' with the 'opposition'.

That's about it, take care all.
