An article in today’s news feeds brought to mind a very important issue… Should we abandon so called ‘Green’ technologies that, in reality are doing more harm to the environment or should we continue to do more harm than good?
On one hand we have the idea engines going, everyone trying to do what’s right for the future, for the planet and our communities.
On the other hand we have the reality that many of these ideas are, in the long run not beneficial. (more…)
Took the family to this years Boat Show at Exhibition Place, Toronto.
I’ve been to somewhere between 20 and 30 Boat Shows over the years and this 50th Anniversary show was as good as any. Though not as large as they used to be (they used to require the Automotive building as well) there was plenty to see and do.
The kids really had a great time at one booth where they were able to build little sail boats and race them in a pond! Donations went to help a program that gets inner-city kids out for a weekend to build wooden skiffs, great cause! (more…)
So the old cell battery was down to lasting about as long as a single phone call… Of course it’s more expensive to purchase a new battery for the silly thing than it is to simply upgrade the phone! What a disposable society we live in.
So Saturday went over to the local Bell Store and checked out what was available. Blew me away! There is just so many options and so much that they are packing into these little phones these days.

What a great weekend!
The 4th Georgetown Cub Pack held their first ‘Winter Olympics’ this past weekend at Barber Memorial Scout Camp in Guelph, ON.
Mr. & Mrs. Bagheera put together an awesome program for our camp this weekend. The theme was Winter Olympics, the goal was to get every Cub in attendance their Athlete’s badge! It was a great success, the kids really enjoyed themselves too.

Wow, what an awesome day! Sara, Chris and I had a ton of fun.
About 40 of us, from 4th Georgetown (Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Venturers, parents and leaders) all met up this morning at St. Andrews United in Georgetown and hiked down to Hungry Hollow to Clean up some of the Silver Creek that runs through the ravine as part of the TD Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup.
The Town of Halton Hills had mentioned that they had done a clean up back in April and they weren’t too sure if it would be worth it. We are glad we went ahead!

Wow! We had an awesome weekend!
Last weekend we had about 75 Cubs and Leaders from Greater Halton get together for a camp at Valens Conservation Area in Cambridge.
We did the camp opening Friday night and successfully executed a traditional Jungle Opening (though it wouldn’t win any awards, lol). (more…)
Wow! what an awesome weekend! (View a photo slide show of the weekend)
Our Cub Pack (4th Georgetown) spent the weekend at African Lion Safari (Cambridge).
Friday Grey Brother headed out late morning to pick our site and begin setting everything up. Bagheera, myself and our families were going to head out mid afternoon to complete the set up. Well Bagheera made it, our brood was running behind but we did get there by 5:00. The rest of the group showed up between 7 and 8. (more…)
Another year has past and it’s once again Father’s Day. I’m sitting here, thinking of all the things I’ve done with my Dad throughout my life, all the great memories and my thoughts turn to my own kids and of the things we’ve done, the memories created and that are yet to be.
I’ve been very lucky to have a Dad that taught me how to do things. My dad was never into the usual sports, he was more into boating, water skiing, camping, building, fixing things and making everything around him better. (more…)
