I’m constantly barraged at work with people talking about how they love their Keurig system and how convenient it is… Â or their other pod type of coffee… or walking around with their Starbucks cup adorned with half a dozen little blurbs of their ‘recipe’ on it… Â Â but… Â do you REALLY love coffee? Â (I’m […]
Elfin Lakes hike…
Another hike out into the wilderness of BC this weekend (25/09/2016). This time, the wife and I went up to Squamish. Â This time the southern part of Garibaldi Park. Â Elfin Lakes was the target, a place the wife has been wanting to go to for quite some time. Â The drive up was […]
Valentina Hot Sauce… Yum! (a review)
Ok, a first for me… a food product review. Â I’ve been eating spicy food quite a bit lately, and loving it as always… Â I’ve been on a huge Thai food kick, and lately Korean food too. Â Both can get fiery as hell, but sometimes, you’re eating your scrambled eggs in the morning […]
Polartec Neoshell fabric review…
The rainy season is almost upon us again, so I figured I would write a post about a fabric I’ve been using for a while in a jacket.  Everyone knows the Gore-Tex family of products… I own a beautiful jacket made of Gore-Tex Pac-Lite through most of the body, and Gore-Tex Pro on the shoulders […]
Anker Powerport 5 USB-C Charger Review
Ok… first review. Â For travel purposes, dragging around a plug for all the USB devices (phone, watch, wife’s phone, wife’s watch, camera, laptop, whatever else…) was getting to be a pain. Â So, after some reading around and checking other people’s reviews, I decided to pick up this Anker USB charger. It has 4 regular […]
Kanaka Creek, and Cliff Falls…
Another Sunday, another foray into the wilds (or not so wilds) of the Vancouver and surrounding area. Â This time… Maple Ridge. We hadn’t been hiking for a while, so something a little more tame seemed the logical choice for us, and the weather seemed to be barely holding in there. Â The wife found a […]
River rafting! Adventure time!
Quite some time ago, the wife purchased a Groupon for a river rafting adventure in Squamish with Canadian Outback Rafting Co. Â This entailed a drive to Squamish to be there by 8:30am. Â A brief orientation, and gear fitting, then piling into two buses and taking an hour and a half journey into the woods of […]
Show premiere… a MurMur production.
The other night, the wife and I attended a friend’s Canadian premiere of his pilot for a series called “One More“. We had a great time, and really enjoyed the show, and really wanted more One More. Â Here’s to hoping Murray can get the funding and the crew together for more in the project! Â Best […]
