Chromebooks are dandy devices but they work most effectively if you have Wi-Fi. However, the reality is that not all classrooms in all schools have total Wi-Fi coverage. If you want to connect a Chromebook to the Internet and you do not have Wi-Fi coverage you can still “hardwire” the Chromebook into your school network. […]

Adam Bellow on Doing More With Less
The fact of the matter is, technology has an ever increasing role in the education system. So I found Adam Bellow’s blog post on Edutopia to be quite an interesting read. The highlights from the blog post for me were: Make sure tech training is available on a continuous basis. That is part of the […]
Updating Your Chromebook OS
While Chromebooks do not have programs or apps loaded directly on them, they do have and use the Chrome operating system and it is does occasionally require an update. In the bottom right hand corner of the photo above you can see the upwards pointing arrow – that is the indicator to say you need […]
Happy Father’s Day to my dad. Unfortunately he is no longer with us here in his physical form. If he was, he would fit right in with all the other hipsters.

Mowed the “lawn” today. Good to know that in times of stress and uncertainty, trees are always there to listen and make things better.

Sometime ago and for reasons unclear to me, on my birthday my mom and my sister began making birthday cakes for me as if I was a 10 year old boy.
Maybe a bit odd, but you know, it is kind of fun to have a cake like a 10 year old would enjoy! Who doesn’t like Hot-wheel cars, trucks, and diggers on a cake?!
This year my sister continued the tradition.
While going through family photos recently we found a panorama style photo of our family home before it was burned in the Lytton Fire of 2014. The photo was obviously taken before there was a panorama feature on a camera!
Anyway, my sister recreated the scene using cream cheese icing (my favourite!) and a variety of edible decorations like pretzels, chocolate covered raisins, chocolate crumble, and more.
Aren’t sisters the greatest? This one got me right in the feeling part of my heart.

Let’s cook. Flashback to my weekend at the cabin and pan frying potstickers over a fire using my @fieldcompany cast iron pan.

We spent some time looking at flowers this weekend. And a big tree. A really big tree.

For Christmas my aunt and uncle gave me a gift card to my favourite shop.
The shop where everything not only looks sharp, but they are all sharp! Yep, @houseofknives .
Seeing as I have more than enough pocket knives and I’m more than happy with my Fusion kitchen knives, I decided to use my gift card to get a multi-tool.
.
Yep. I got a new @leathermancanada Wave. This is a “life long purchase” because if you use/abuse it, the blades are replaceable.
I love that feature because honestly, when I’m on the farm, in the bush camping or hiking, or at the cabin, I like a tool or knife that I can rely on. And sometimes, some might even say I abuse my tools. To know the blades are replaceable is reassuring.
.
I’ll share some pics of my new tool in use as soon as I get out of the city.

I tried @wendyscanada breakfast this week. I had the Baconator breakfast sandwich with a side of the seasoned potato wedges.
The breakfast sandwich was seriously good. It has a fried egg on top of a lot of bacon. Lots of bacon. Which all sits on top of a grilled sausage patty.
.
The side of seasoned potatoes was good but they were cool by the time I started eating them. I know they’d taste better if I didn’t wait to eat them.
This is a serious breakfast sandwich. Very filling and very, very good taste! I couldn’t eat my lunch because I was so full from the Breakfast Baconator.
I will 100% have it again!

Long weekend vibes from outside of Lytton for the win. Beautiful weather, food, and company. And a bear getting an up close look at the @stealthcamgsm .
And yes, I added more family heirloom cast iron pans to the pan-wall!
What did you get up to on the long weekend? Do you consider the May long weekend the unofficial start of summer?
