So I’m starting getting to the point that I need a little money coming in. Sure I’ve got my savings, and thanks to my younger self and a few investments I made, I can go for a little bit longer with no discernible source of income. But that time is fast approaching. Work must begin. [...]

Fish n’chips in Sarnia
Visited with my dad last week. For me that means traveling from one side of Ontario to the other. Canada is a big country. It's a good 9-10 hour trip. Anyways, my dad lives in a region known as Chemical valley. Sarnia, and it's surrounding enclaves, is known for refiners. Vast expanses of land are [...]
Stay tuned
Vintage organ. Old beast of an organ. As found at habitat for humanity store. Think they wanted $100 or so for it. Don't really remember the price. Let's say cheap. This foot driven monstrosity gathers air through bellows to drive brown notes. It's the singer sewing machine equivalent to instruments, with the player peddling madly [...]
Damn dam at sunset
Went for a cig run. That means Oka. To the reserves. To the plastic bagged cartons. These are the things you find in the first-nation lands I haven't bothered to learn the name of. It's Oka to me. Of cheese and crisis. It's the place I get cheap cigarettes and quality weed. So to get [...]
On Bromans
So there's this show on OutTV. Kinda ridiculous. Bromans. Scantily clad guys, like near naked, and their equally barely covered girlfriends compete to be the ultimate Broman. The show is set as if in roman times. The contestants step back in time into this ancient Roman city set. Complete with period appropriate accoutrements. Citizens. Carts. [...]
Music
It's late. Or early morning. Depends on your perspective, but for me it's end of day. Been busy on a few projects. Mostly around setting up a home business. Plan to be self-employed going forward. Take some research and planning to get that set up. Anyway, sometimes I play the piano to help me think. [...]
Snow blows
We've had quite a lot of snow lately in Hawkesbury. Followed closely by bitter cold. The sharp chill of mid January. Winter is here. With a storm on the horizon I ready myself for more snow. To remind myself of what to expect, photos from the last snow clearing. I imagine myself some operator for [...]
Music, or something like
So I also like to play piano. Been recording for years into Logic. Thing is, I only ever learned to press record; never how to edit. Anything I present is live. This one is from the remainders of the day. https://soundcloud.com/thomsters/190119-end-of-day C major. Live recording. There have been two pianos in my life. The first [...]
These past few days
Didn't just quit a job. Started a new one. Here's some of the things I enjoy working on. Photography is a good one. I want to explore a bit more the light. This is where the iPhone has been great. It's the camera I always have with me. Not a bad one at that. I [...]
