Here is what has been goin' on around these parts. 

 Back on the 8th Dan and Judy got a floating dock installed. Of course, I had to supervise.  :D

Here they come with the dock and ramp.


Removing the old dock. That's a real nice boat.


Drilling into bedrock to install the shore anchor.



The crossed cables hold the ramp tight to the dock.


The decking is in pallet form.


Yup. A real nice boat. Lifting an anchor.


5/16th anchor chains.


In goes an anchor.



Swim ladder installed.


Tout fini.


Guess who's the first Lil' Tomikoan to park?


Kat and Cat were going to town and had to stop on the Notman road so this guy could get off the road.


Back on the 12th we went on a road trip with the AKA Smiths.

The first stop was the North Cobalt Flea Market, which is more like a discount store.


Some of the haul.


 Then on to the TSC in New Liskeard.


This Vet clinic was across the street. Check out the Vet's name. =))


The next stop was in, one of my favourite towns, Temagmi.


Guess who we found there? Bill from Docks Plus. We had time to get all of the pluses and minuses of different styles of docks.


They do all kinds of docks, even lift docks.


Ya gotta tell 'em where yer to.



We were all confused as to why Dan and Judy's driveway alarm was going off when there was nothing around. We found out that there was a hairy woodpecker nest close by and when the peckers flew by the alarm would go off. Here are a couple of shaky videos. We have seen the babies, but they did not show for the videos, but you can here them, especially in the second one. 

#1 video.

That's not a Hairy Woodpecker, it is a BLACK-BACKED WOODPECKER!!! It is a species that I have never seen. It is pretty rad: like the Three-toed Woodpecker it only has three toes!
