I think I have enough. Do you?

Sure, I'd like a bigger boat, a newer car or a million dollars, but I don't NEED anything (yet). I have food, housing, and reasonable health.
Those are my basic needs.
A new car would be a luxury item.

Where do you fit on the #Poll ?

Sometimes, briefly, I miss my days as an influencer online. That was never my plan, but as you know, the former Twitter used Algorithms. The more engagement you made, the higher your presence became. My followers have always been higher than the amount I follow. The more I follow, the less I see, caught up in a fast moving stream of (mostly garbage) ReTweets. #ENGAGEMENT is not Boosting or Liking, it's responding, dialogue, comments, and conversation.

I hate dark before supper.
I want to skip supper and get in my jammies.

I started wearing jammies on account of stretching in the living room in the morning, the neighbors shouldn't be enjoying this old body without subscribing LOL

I think she's dying... 😢 And I'm crying. She hasn't stood up today, she smelled , and had her shower laying down.

She's nearly 18, once a tiny feral rescue, she always considered me her dad. Her eyes usually look in mine , and she winks

Her eyes never opened until now.

I've been rocking her in my arms wrapped up in a towel.

She moved once, then drifted away.. very listless.

If she doesn't pass without pain, I will have to consider putting her to sleep anyway.

"Hello there!, I'll be your tour guide on a boating adventure, a day of exploration, in the summertime.

This is a harbour seal, I think. I refer to them as the Cute seals, the Grey Seal is much larger & also called a horsehead seal, because, THEY UGLY! 😂​

You don't have to be in a boat to see these. I can walk to most shorelines and see them.

These swim right up to the river.

I don't think there's enough hours in a month to do all the work I have to do.

#GoodMorning #Bonjour

Over a year ago, Fiona ripped off the front of my house, and messed up some other stuff.

It wasn't minor, but something I was going to need my insurance for, and you hope it is there when this happens.

The contractor still hasn't started.
The insurance pays out up to one year after the damage, and it's past the year. Now I'm doing it.

I finished the Chimney last night

Oh my, after 10PM! I'm not tired, but I am trying to get my sleep patterns sorted. I might break off shortly, shut down the PC and go watch TV in bed until the news is over

I'm not feeling too bad now, no reaction to my VAX today, I think I just need to rest my brain for a few hours.. I'll be back before you wake up.

@msquebanh Did you ever read my story about when I met my wife to be? As a child my parents took me berry picking back the Mines road. There was one home 4 miles back, no other homes, and I thought I saw (ADHD) Kids. There were three, but they were skittish as hell, never seeing people that far back, except miners They would hide and not be seen. didn't know who they were, but I knew they were there somewhere. 16 years later, I saw her. I wasn't from the area, so I got my cousin involved.

Customary on weekends, I take a little time to write a short story, about our adventures.

As a background, in case you are new, here's who we are: 2 seniors, my wife is disabled (I'm crippling up too), defying difficult trails to show that it can be done.

Hashtag shown is relative to places in #NovaScotia, that others might never have seen, but will want to visit.

During one of our exploring trips around the coast, we never finished the continuous trails on the south side of Antigonish. That's why we went back. You can't brag about places you've never been.

Happy #Caturday to all you #cats who celebrate it.

#GoodMorning #Bonjour

I'm watching the moon, and I'd be shooting photos, but for the low-hanging fog.

It's still dark so there's no progress I can make on repair work (outstanding since the hurricane of 2022, insurance claim time has run out, the contractors never came.

I've, unwillingly, stepped up to the plate.

What am I going to do, when I finish every series of #shameless? I'm the only one, my wife won't watch it....#Telly

I haven't used my Laser Printer in years. I don't have need to print anymore, it seems? Do you use a printer anymore?

I used to print these out, and if I was setup with a printer, I'd do some more. I could use these in the parking lot at the shopping center.

What's Up Duckies?

#GoodMorning #Bonjour
Been up for hours already.
Editing photos..

I tried to start another audiobook but I can't type and listen at the same time. I'll start a new book later if I walk or do something else.

Didn't feel like walking (yet) today, so @MaJ1 walked for me.
Seems fair, I walked for him last week!

Ducks from the Greenway Trail in Sackville.
I don't know my duck types. I call these, Green-Headed Ducks 😂​

Rasta, 5 months ago to Halifax

Since I was a kid, my family travelled the #EasternShore of #Halifax (when it was a County)

Most of my relatives start at Tangier, and stop at the end of the Municipality. My parents had a cottage in Necum Teuch.

#StoryTime
My FRIDAY and SUNDAY memories went like this: #Weekend #Thread #memories
Packing the car, Unpacking the car. And usually, throwing up, in the car. I always got car sick.

(County signs were Green, Municipality signs are Blue)

A blue Halifax sign, at the end of the Municipality. HALIFAX Regional Municipality ECUM SECUM WEST Welcome to our community
Blue sign, Welcome to HALIFAX Regional Municipality (The sign greeting you when you enter at Ecum Secum end)

Rasta, 6 months ago (edited 6 months ago) to Halifax

You used to see #Halifax Fire News on the former Twitter, but I don't know what other places they update, and there's no mention of EHS and Fire Depts responding in this end of the former county.

Used to be a green sign past the city of Dartmouth that said, "Halifax County" but after the city amalgamated and started supporting a sign making business full time, they rebranded Halifax Regional Municipality #HRM, then rebranded those same 1000 signs to a shorter, cheaper, peel-off type, HALIFAX.

Today, 11 Nov, we remember those who served, those who fought, and those who died in service, for their country. #RememberThem

I come from a long line of military members, I'll stand in the cold, at the local cenotaph in the village, beginning after 10:30 am.
It might snow, it looks like it?

Rasta, 8 months ago to NovaScotia

Good morning @evelynefoerster
We were looking at your Mountain Trails, so I found mine to show you.. We took a trip to Cape Breton Island, in my last OLD RV Camper, with two cats (then) and stayed at the Provincial Park https://parks.novascotia.ca/park/whycocomagh in #Whycocomagh area.
The towns, Cabot Trail and Beaches are all around, it was central for us explorers.
A little lead-in.. Avoid 100 series highways in #NovaScotia . They are for speed, not scenery or culture. Here's the only highway we had to cross

Now that the farmer's field has been mowed,
A white cat, lays on a wood block cover, over the propane stove inside the RV Camper I am driving. The cats travel nicely with us in an RV, picking their favorite resting areas. Indifferent about the hay fields.

Of all my cats, Teddy seems to recognize most. #CatsOfMastodon

I know, everyone thinks their cat is smarter...
Let me continue....
In my summer home, I first noticed when I walked out of view, Teddy immediately looked to the wall mirror, and followed my movements upstairs.
He likes to watch TV in the reflection of my Gaming PC (black mirror finish), and he interacts with images he likes, turning his head to look back at the TV when the reflection shows something he'd love to touch.

Well, what do you know about Power Converters & Chargers? @Offroadrj
Here's where I am: I have:
A 30 year old Power Converter, 115VAC to 12VDC
And 5 amp charger in one. 4 wires out, 2 to provide lights, furnace, fans, fridge, etc.. Up to 40Amp
The charger tops up the house batteries (in the belly of the motorhome.

To test each, you are inside, outside, multiple wires to test, each feeding 12v or 110v somewhere, you have to isolate to test each.
No schematics, or manual, learning as I go
