Ice Dams

A lot of older homes have ice dam buildups on their roofs at this time of year.  It's a pretty good indication of where there is a lack of insulation.  If one were thinking of buying an older home, it may be a good idea to do a preliminary look at houses at this time of year and note the ones with ice dam problems.

Beer

Here are a few samples of the beer on the shelves from the previous post.

Beer Collectiom

Tony has over 4,000 full unopened bottles of Canadian beer in his collection.  His basement is full.  The oldest bottle is an 80 year old Molson Export.

Check this video out of a song I made up and recorded last week - a bit of a jab at the south of the border politics:

Lake Nipissing Sunset Feb.3, 2017

Here is the sunset over Lake Nipissing yesterday afternoon.  It's really nice to see the sun in the sky longer and to see it set closer to the west (the right) each day.

Old Bridge Grafftti

Noticed this graffiti on the old bridge over Chippewa Creek near Lake Nipissing waterfront on the weekend during our stroll, amble, saunter walkabout.

Mid-November Cloud Reflections

It's a beauty day today, so I went for a paddle along the lake shore. It was quite warm and very still, and I even heard a few late-leaving loons calling.

Fungi

I'm not sure what type of mushrooms these are, but they look interesting.

Leaf Litter

Nothing like freshly fallen leaves on the trails.
