It’s been a busy weekend and weekend since returned a month ago for my trip south. So much has happened .This Friday the challenge was to get my Harley from Vespa Metro and leave my Vespa for service and storage foe the summer. It’s as a steep learning to readjust to the 1000 cc from 300, more power and more bike, manual gears instead of automatic. I had to figure out where the lights were. Trepidations. Adjusting mirrors on the fly. Power. Vrooom. Glad to be back on the Harley out on the freeway.
Then I had to deposit more taxes having visited with Anil my accountant the evening before. I drove over in my 2024 Jeep Wrangler and am increasingly enjoying my Jeep. I had to take $25,000 of th $30,000 I got for the F350 and take it to thee Royal Bank to deposit on the loan I’d taken for the Jeep. I’m in debt from the Thor and Wrangler but have enough money in the bank to pay for them if I needed too. I don’t like debt but it’s not tax and such to pay outright. This is the recommended route even though the payments are high. I’m okay. I feel better and it felt good to pay down the loan. I’d not been in RBC in 30 years since my divorce. That had been my old bank and brought back memories of financial betrayal and deceit.
I’m watching the TV series Friends and Neighbors where the rich stockbroker loses his job to dirty tricks. Carney our PM is doing all such things with paying MP’s to crossover and the risk of the Communist Chinese controlling Canada increases every day. I’m speaking out against it and in favour of Pierre Poilevre on FaceBook and X social media. There’s a new law against ‘hate’ on social media discussion. Increasing laws of censorship. There’s all manner of political missmanagement with Canada plummeting in the ethics scales and increasing corruption with Carney’s wife celebrating the NWO in which China replaces America.
Meanwhile the Israel US war on Iran whose terrorists proxies are Hezballa, Houthi and Hammas, continues. Iran mined the Strait of Hormuz. This has cut off 20% of oil going to China and Europe . There are fuel crisis in Ireland When Venezuela regime changed Cuba lost its oil supply. The war in Ukraine continues into the 5th year with increasing dependence on robot and drone technology. Iran was making drones from Russia. Iran ‘s industrial military and leadership have been wiped out. The mining of the strait has been the last leverage. Iran was ready to have a nuclear bomb but as terrorists would have eventually on their timeline extorted the west by taking over the Strait of Hormuz which it now has done, the US and Israel forcing their timeline and catching them off guard. American and Israel military has proven itself the best in the great military arms bazaar so China and other countries have lost sails.
The Artemis II circled the moon with 4 astronauts, one of them Canadian and one a woman. They were in the Orion space ship and returned in the Integrity space capsule after 9 days. Laura and I watched it on tv. Graeme and Adell and the nephews were wartching the return too.
On Saturday the Bustard Family was at St. Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church having three of the children, Alex, Willy and Bobby baptized and Kendra and Izak and Kevin and Anna Christified. The Baptism was full immersion. The Christification wants an anointing by the priest as the orthodox does for those who are baptized but are joining the Orthodx church. /we were honored to be there. It was a long service but a wonderful Christian community. Anna feels at home and Kevin and the children are content there too. Great to see how much the kids have grown and the family finding a new church that so suits them. I remember how happy we all were together with St. James until the priest annd his wife and dogs left and the church changed.
I’ve been studying Orthodox Christianity listening to an audiobook on The Orthodox Church by Timothy War. It’s been great driving in the car. I’ve also been reading the oriental Orthodox Church writings of the Ethiopian bible and have a history of Nicaea and the creed to enjoy next. I gave Kevin and Anna some orthodox Bibles for the family
For
I continue to see patients veritually and go into the Dockside clinic every two weeks now. I even swam in the pool twice since I returned .I have to double le that and increase my walking.
The psychosomatic back pain persists and a couple of trips to Dr. Ready the chiropractor have definitely increased hope. I am doing a little of the Foundation training but am typically strugglign with the pain and stiffness as I try to recover and heal.
My aim is to complete the next task, taking the Jeep into Langley E&H to have the hitch installed so I can tow it behind the Thor. They want it for 3 days and then I’m to pick it up with the motorhome. They’re not open on the weekend. It costs $8000 and I’ll have to use credit cards. Victor is selling my Tracker 420 quad and trailer so that will help. Once that’s done the reward will be a trip to Whistler RV park where I can enjoy the view from the Class A window and test the system so that from then on I’m fully mobile with just the Thor and Willy. I keep thinking I could sell the HD or the Vespa but now that decision is on hold.
I will be prepared for going south next fall. I sometimes think I’d like to take a trip to visit Wayne. Then I also think I’d like a really stress quiet run till next fall, working, saving and doing maintenance. I’ve done a lot. This is a whole change a move away from hunting like a Ieft skiing and sailing. Now I’ve minimalist and have only the storage locker to deal with. I’d like to get back to completing the books I’m working on. This feels like the way to do that. I’ve not signed up for Chicago IDAA but am looking forward to St. Louis.
I have a desire to return to Ireland, also to go to Berlin, Vienna and Venice as well as east Europe. St. Athos has been calling to me but all these calls have been rather faint. I’m more interested in lying in a lounge chair outside reading. I’d like to go to Harrison Hot Springs with Thor and Willy. Sunshine Valley will be easy with their pull throughs .With Willy I’ll be able to swing back to Hope and explore a logging road if need be.
I’m considering selling the 300 win mag and perhaps getting a Marlin Lever Action 3030 like Dad had and like I had before. The government outlawed my Ruger 223 semi auto and now my Black Creek Siberian 223 but they have offered to buy back that for $1600. I’d like that. Everyone I know hopes the Carney overthrow will be blocked by Pierre Poilevre and the Globalist war will fail with America remaining in charge. Then we wouldn’t have the communist fascist attack on the citizens on behalf of the criminals with citizens having their guns confiscated while all the criminals are armed. In England the thugs are using machete. The gun was the counter to the gang of bullies. It’s frightening for me as I grow older and really am becomeing a bit ‘frail’ with the back weariness and pain. Gangs of ex soldiers from the third world have been let into Canada as scab voters and for some duplitoouts Liberal reason , mainly disrupting the country to control the populace to install the digital surveillance and all the communist measures of China in Canada. I’m suffering flashbacks to being attacked by gangs 10 to 1 in Churchill and Athens. Then I’ve been remembering being held hostage by the Canadian Solider in emergency.
That said I’m having wonderful dreams lying in bed with Laura and Madigan. I’ve been visited by family, dad and mom, aunt sally and Ron and the previous dogs and cats. I’m in the happy places in my dreams . the meeting places the conferences halls, the cabins and the trucks. I wake up thankful.
Thank you Jesus. Life is good. Laura and I danced last night here to Bayou. Months go by without my dancing. Yet once it was my life. I move on. When I see scuba diving on the tv I think of the years I dove daily. Then there’s the sailing but the sea always looks a bit scaring. I watched the sea when Artemis II crew were getting out of the capsule. I’m not missing sailing. I like the land and my Thor Land Barge. Today I’m looking forward to getting out on Harley but I have to take Willy to get the clean wash at 4 pm. Madigan will need walking and Laura will need feeding. Meals are important here. We all participate. When Laura is here it’s more formal . We’ve had barbecued steak a couple fo times this last week, last night barbecued chops, a couple of days of deli quiche , a couple of days of soup and cold cut sandwiches, deli salads, a couple of orders of pizza , a Chinese take out and a White Spot burgers and fish and chips. Despite the doubling of the cost of food and living we’re still eating well, maybe small meat cuts, and little eating out, but no major change. Laura prepared smoked ham for last Easter. I hear of patients eating more rice but I’ve always had potatoes and perhaps eating more eggs. I liked seeing how health the god kids were and thinking how many bear they’ve shot to feed themselves . It show in their healthiness. Kendra and Izek have really stretched up.
I am blessed.
Thank you God for this good life. Please protect me and my family and friends. Watch over us. Keep Madigan healthy and protect Thor and Willy and Harley. Help me to learn more as a healer and become closer and know you more deeply and truly. Help me open my heat to you Lord Jesus. I am a sinner come into my heart. Lord Jesus Christ Son of God Have Mercy on me.
Thank you.
