Sunday ; Sunny, hot, smoky.
Early walk. Late pool exercises. Printed recipes for Joanne. Retrieved, reconciled, and paid monthly MasterCard billing. Updated investments. Posted blog entry. Barbecued Sockeye Salmon for supper. Watched ABC interview with Biden and Harris. Inspiring ! Watched regular weekly Sunday new episode of 90 Day Fiance.
Watched news report showing civilian uprising in Belarus after rigged re-election of Europe’s last dictator. We worry that it foreshadows what will happen in US in November (election) and January (inauguration).
Monday ; Cloudy, sunny, cloudy, warm.
After lunch we went into town (Keremeos) to run some errands. We shopped at multiple fruit / produce stands in both Keremeos and Cawston. I was unable to find heirloom tomatoes. But we bought a lot of produce that’s currently in season ; Beefsteak tomatoes, local yellow fleshed watermelons, spaghetti squash. We ordered take out dinner from Samosa Gardens, the Indian restaurant affiliated with Sanderson Farms produce stand.
While we were on our late afternoon walk we chatted with the owners of Ditch the fat cat. They wanted to thank us for rescuing Ditch a week or so ago. HMPH … small world ! They are from the Winnipeg, Manitoba area, and are friends with one of Joanne’s cousins.
Tuesday ; Sunny and hot. Joanne made Butternut Squash Soup in the Sun Oven today.
This morning we portioned and packaged about a hundred bucks worth of fresh wild Coho Salmon and beef sirloin steaks we bought yesterday, both of them advertised specials. The Coho Salmon was a particularly good buy, still outrageously expensive but priced the same as Sockeye Salmon. It’s rare to find Coho Salmon for sale in the grocery stores … at any price. Now… if we could just find Chinook Salmon for sale !
This afternoon I worked on our Manitoba relocation plans, researching some rental apartments near Winnipeg, in Steinbach and Niverville. I think we’re likely to be ready to relocate in about a year or so.
Wednesday ; Sunny and hot. I made (liquid) smoked, (maple syrup glazed) candied Coho Salmon in the Sun Oven today.
Joanne did laundry this afternoon. I went fishing for an hour. Which takes two hours, with a half hour half upstream hike there and a half hour back. Caught nothing. HMPH !
Thursday ; Sunny and hot. Joanne cooked Herbed Chicken in the Sun Oven today. It was a new recipe I recently found. It was excellent, somewhat like Swiss Chalet chicken.
For lunch today I ate some of the smoked candied Coho Salmon I made in the Sun Oven yesterday. EXCELLENT ! We spent much of the afternoon discussing and researching Manitoba relocation options. In the evening I did monthly computer backup procedures. And, of course, we did our daily early walk and late afternoon pool exercise sessions.
Four months ago today I made a significant investment of some “surplus” funds in a new mutual fund our investment advisor recommended. In just four months the investment has grown 20.54%. WOW ! I think I’ll “cash out” at 25% … before the next stock market “tumble” hopefully !
Friday ; Sunny and hot. I made sun dried Beefsteak tomatoes in the Sun Oven today. DARN … I sliced them a bit too thinly, then left them in the Sun Oven too long, burning them slightly.
I did some maintenance work on my computer printer. I did some preventive maintenance work on the truck and the minivan. In the evening we watched a Bing Crosby / Bob Hope “Road To …” movie. HA HA HA ! And the weekly Randy Bachman / Tal Bachman informal music concert.
Saturday ; Mix of sun and clouds, very warm, windy.
We visited with our friend Jeanine this afternoon. I did some preventive maintenance on her car.
