GO BIG OR STAY HOME

“A phrase usually used to goad someone into an outlandish/awesome act. Similar to the phrase "go big or go home" this phrase considers added, undeniable reasoning; If you have no intention of going big, don't bother coming out at all.” (Urban Dictionary) I have never been overly fond of this particular macho sounding phrase, until very recently that is. Once I rephrased it a bit, it all became crystal clear. “Go Big or Stay Home Buried Under 10 Feet of Snow”. You see this winter is challenging what I felt were considerable snow clearing capabilities. I have a 32 HP tractor with a 5’ snowblower that did an admirable job clearing out 1,000 feet of driveway and significant areas around 4 houses on the lane. With the heavy snowfall we got last year I decided towards the end of the season to pick up a 7” blower for my “big” tractor that has about 50% more horses than my “small” tractor. So nothing could defeat this combo right!! With the snowfall that we have had this year I have relied on Mr Big and even then snowblowing time has probably doubled this year to about 3 hours. Assuming Mr Small could handle the snow load, it would likely take 5 to 6 hours and that is just way too long to be

driving backwards. So with the view that climate change is here to stay, this year may NOT be just a one time fluke, but something that we may have on a consistent basis and heck, things

just could get a whole lot worse!! So what are the smart people

doing... right... going bigger!! This afternoon, I am hoping to look at a nearly 40 year old tractor but, it has another 50% more horses than Mr Big and the snowblower that comes with it is a dual auger (just think BIGGER). So, listen folks, throw away the shovel and get a snowblower, if you have a 24” blower grab a 32” or start thinking yard tractor. Remember “Go Big or Stay Home” because you ain’t never getting out until this $#&* winter ends. Assuming I do manage to find and purchase a Mr Bigger, my

upgrade position from there is …………………….. a nursing

home. 0001

Getting old isn’t all about the passage of time, it’s also about what you do with that time.

Imagine two identical cars, each sold on the same day. One car was driven gently, parked in a garage, washed and waxed regularly, had its oil changed on time, and was brought to the mechanic when something was wrong. Th e second car, was parked in the yard. Dust

Now, imagine two houses. One that received a new coat of paint every decade, and had the shingles

Paws & Whiskers Sanctuary Inc.Email: [email protected]

PO Box 4816 Sussex, NB E4E 5L1

Paws and Whiskers Sanctuary Inc. is a registered non-profit charitable organization operated solely by volunteers.

Sheldon here again!It’s been 4 1/2 weeks since my surgery. I’m feeling so much better. Finally, I’m bandage free, which makes me very happy. Allowed to play for short periods, I should be able to ‘go full steam ahead’ within the next two weeks.

I also have some Very Exciting News I want to share with everyone! My foster mom has whispered in my ear that a loving and caring family wants to adopt me. I know she will miss me very much, but this will permit the Sanctuary to take in another feline. Can’t wait, I will soon be in my forever home.

Have a purrfect day everyone!

Yikes!It can’t be true! I have chicken legs! Oh wait - not true at all. Phew!

MUSINGSGONE PHISHING!

Actually, in this case I was the phish (fish) not the phisher, but then the phrase doesn’t work! Phishing - “to try to obtain financial or other confidential information from Internet users, typically by sending an email that looks as if it is from a legitimate organization, usually a financial institution, but contains a link to a fake website that replicates the real one” - dictionary.com. Yes, I got caught. Usually I am so very careful with what I click on in an email, but this looked totally legit. It was back in mid-December and the email was from Canada Post stating they had tried to deliver a package and no one was home to take delivery. As it happened, I was expecting two packages which were to be Christmas gifts, and since I was at the office and Mike was no doubt out in the woodlot, it made total sense they would not have been able to deliver. So I unsuspectingly clicked on the tracking link and . . . went nowhere. Still not cluing in, I called my local post office to find out

how to get my delivery. They had no record of anything, so they very obligingly had the route driver call me as well. We agreed it was a mystery and that was the end of it. My packages showed up a day or two later and all was well. Until the next time I accessed my online banking. As I logged in all looked fine, until I moved a little further into the site and was advised that new security measures required me to answer a few questions. The first couple of questions were regular ones that I have often seen on various banking sites. . . your oldest nephew’s first name and such. The it wanted my mother’s maiden name. . . hmm, okay. But the next questions got a little more concerning - driver’s license number, social insurance number. Nope. . . don’t think so. Next step, call the bank. Have they instituted any new security measures for online banking? Nope. And everything was fine on their end. So obviously the problem was on my end. Then the lights started to go on about the “Canada Post” email. We do have virus and malware protection on all computers, plus I use gmail which

has excellent spam filters as well, but this managed to get through. Michael tracked down a magic tool of some sort which scanned my computer and cleaned it up, but now my worry is what information did it manage to scam before that happened. So in addition to immediately changing my banking password I have added a security alert to my bank account which should notify me of any suspicious activity. My biggest concern now is the possibility of identity theft, so I have also requested a copy of my credit report. Beyond all that, I feel like an idiot . . . “I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.” ~ Stephen Hawking. 0002
