These are the musings of a retired male. Some may be interesting, some may be boring, but all will be true. It will contain info om PEI and some links I find interesting. Pull up a chair and enjoy.

Sorry to be late with this addition of my blog but again I have been as busy as a kittie with the poopies and two butts trying to dig enough holes to stay ahead of the demand. You are not supposed to be this busy after you retire, the only difference between being retired and working is when you work you get paid.

Had a crappy weekend here weather wise as we had over 3 inches of rain or to be political correct 84.3 MM. We had no floods as the soil is very good here to absorbe water as you can't find a rock in PEI that wasn't imported from somewhere else. Some parts of NS had over 9 inches of rain that caused flooding and washed out some roads. Today is a beautiful fall day with a little breeze and beautiful sun.

I am patently waiting for the leaves to change so I can get some pics. If I knew how I would post them here for all to enjoy, maybe "FRANKIE" or "CALI" could be enticed to show me how, if not I will put them on "DOT PHOTO" and give invites to anyone who might like to view them. It is really beautiful here on Prince Edward Island all year round whether summer or whatever season and I must get my butt going and get some more pics. Some people including I believe that P.E.I. really means Pretty Every Inch and hopefully in the near future I will have the pics here to prove it.

I am in the process of trying to collect music from PEI musicians but it is not an easy or cheap process. I go to a lot of flee markets to try to track down music by them but they are very hard to find and they are quite expensive to buy new, anywhere from $15.oo to 23.oo. They say they are so costly because of the small number made but I can buy blank CD's for .35 cents each so I guess the people making the CD's must be paid top buck.

Oh yeah We were married 41 years on monday October 10.

Thats all for now till next time:
