We had a good first wing night at the branch last night. You know, I’m really starting to enjoy being in the position to be able to pick and choose when I get involved with the work. After 30+ years of being in the thick of it, it’s rather nice to have the choice.

Just over a week from now this community will hold our Canada 150 celebration and the local township also celebrates its 225 birthday. I have sat on the committee organizing the activities for the weekend since the start and will be glad to see it wrapping up at the end of the year.

I’ve had the air conditioning off this week and been enjoying having the windows open. It’s nice not to have the drone of the machines running. I got up this morning to a tropical feeling in the house. It has been raining and apparently getting warmer outside which produces more humidity. My lungs don’t do well in humidity so, the windows are closed and the AC is back on.

I noticed this morning, I have some comments to respond to. I need to check more often I guess. I will get them looked after.

Onward to today’s rambling
