apricot jam. I wasted some time on the computer and then my wife and I
went to the bank to submit our income tax and pay some bills. I went to
the grocery store to get a fw things (I can go more often than once
every two weeks). I went on weed patrol in my hard and was going to go
for a bicycle ride, but my buddy came by on his motorcycle and easily
convinced me I would have more fun on a motorcycle ride than a bicycle.
It turned out he was right. We had a nice ride.

tax? Did you need to take out a loan to pay your taxes?
Yesterday, I submitted my income tax by putting a tax form into the mail.
Yeah, I know, I'm starting to be a bit anachronistic myself.
I put a yellow sticky note on my cheque with a hand-drawn sad faced smily.

month to look after them. As long as she is willing to look after them I
them I have no problems with the way she does it.
No need for a loan. We both arranged for income tax deductions on our
pensions. Then we got CPP at age 60 and old age pension at 65, but had
not arranged to have more income ta deducted. We end up having to pay
every year, but my wife has her old age deposited to a separate account
and when the time comes to file taxes and pay it comes out of that account.

When our tax people screwed up and tried to charge me penalties, I had

Again, I'll say it was probably a suggestion but not a rule.
Think about it though....Go shopping one day (and maybe get

It does makes sense except most people have been

because you can get from once place to another quite quickly and without
the boredom of a long flight. OTOH, you might miss a lot of scenery. I
have been on a number of very scenic drives. Driving across Canada or
the US offers lots of beautiful scenery. Unfortunately, there are also
vast stretches of boredom. FWIW, Google Maps estimates 60 hours to
driver from Halifax to Vancouver. vs, a 7 hour flight. btw... that
involves driving through the US. It would be even longer to stick to a
Canadian route. New York to San Francisco is more than 40 hours. That
is a work week at the wheel.
When my brother's wife died a few years ago he had plans to drive down
to Florida to visit our uncle. I tried to convince him that he would be
better off flying. Given his mental health issues and his tired he gets
with his medication, the 30 + hour drive would have been too stressful
for him. He would be lucky to get 6 hours a day driving. That would
mean a lot of meals on the road and 4 or 5 nights in hotels each way.

Unlimited time to tour, doing it in a motorhome is great.

As it goes, the Flintstones mobile was fairly ridiculous. It had a steering wheel but the design had no provisions for steering. It could only go in one direction. Fred had to point the car in the desired direction before leaving. To get back home required turning the car 180 degrees or driving in reverse. The newer models are a lot more practical.

I like it in moderation. Once every couple of years, for a week max.
