WIP's

-

 Two socks are on the needles, the pink, reds etc are current WIP, once I get to the heel will switch and go back to the bluesy-green jobs. 



The needed part for my wool stove is here, Peter will come either tomorrow or Friday to install. Just in time for a bit of arctic air that will come thru starting Friday night. Will be content to stay home and watch Saturday college football then pro's on Sunday. 

Just a bit above freezing and raining, I'd bet up the hill out of the valley its prolly snowing. The wind warnings from last week didn't amount to much, usual Tatlako winds are almost that strong.

I stayed up last night to almost midnight to see if any concrete results were in on the sh** show in the states. Still nothing firm. Will check in again around  noon to see if anything has changed. The numb nutz in Fla that voted for tRump can't read or don't care that if he is reelected will start messing with their social security, boy will they start sniffling and sobbing if that happens. 

Am so glad to be a Canadian and live far away from the mess to the south.

    Yes, it looks like tRump is done. But I want to see the door hit him on the backside as he leaves before I celebrate too much.

    Love the current socks, all the colors in your socks always make me smile.

    Sure hope that dangerous dictator in the white house is kicked out and authorities are waiting for him on his way out to arrest him for all the crimes they've been building cases for - they should arrest his family too!

4 more pair on needles, work on each for at least 10 rows every other day before putting it down. Blue pair is farest along and have everything ready for sock #2. Blue pair will be identical all the others fraternal. A couple of nights ago bout 9pm saw a blue heron land in tree just south of the house, watched it preen for some time and when it was to dark for a pix 2 more landed in tree beside the first. Same day saw a kingfisher dive towards the river. Bear activity has cooled down, assume they are over at the Chilko River system fishing for salmon. Last black I saw was just its backside as it headed for the west fence got a quick pix but not worth posting. Nothing much happening in my wild mountain valley these days, some ranchers have finally been able to start cutting hay, and everyone else is hoping for rain. So many bad fires in BC again this season.

Friday Jan. 5

Finally got myself to town Dec. 27-28. Prescriptions, haircut, groceries, and most important getting bank Visa problems straightened out. Tried dealing with bank via telephone and both times I connected got someone that wouldn't acknowledge that I was hard of hearing, heavy accents didn't help. Had 7 charges for Play Station almost $1000, since I've never even seen one, wasn't me . Because of all the weird charges they wouldn't activate the new Visa card. A good weather window opened so in I went, took almost an hour getting everything straightened out. Meanwhile when I did get to the grocery store almost filled my buggy with produce and fruit. Had help unloading the car when I got home Thursday 3 ish. Did bring a nasty bout of the local crud home with me, first time in several years that a cold hit me so hard.  One of the first pair of Koigu gloves I did were for me, but last winter I snagged middle finger on a nail on my handrail, brought them up front, cut off da

Grizzlies

May 30th had a visiting grizzly complete with two yearling cubs, camera at hand got 3 pix before she and cubs wandered off. 2023 season off to a good start, 2 blacks and 3 griz in my yard. Sock knitting continues as always, pix of latest finished pair of Monstersocks. As soon aas they were finished started another pair using a midnight blue Hawthorne from Knit Picks, but instead of Monstersocks am going back to old standby fair-nordic patterns, dk blue will be main colour then orange, med gray, red and white for the patterns. Fairly conservative for my knitting. Went into town on Monday, oil change, checked in at Speedy Glass about a new windshield (come back in a week), picked up my new glasses, then a motel for the night. Tuesday had dentist appointment at 9 am, think its the last for a while, then renewed ICBC (license plate and insurance for another year), picked up some groceries and lastly Kal Tire where I finally got winter tires off my Subie (they go back on October 1).
