First Baby Chick's Born at The Slipper

What a good mother hen.  She bit me three times when I tried to pick up a baby.

Alex Using His Homemade Sawmill at The Pipe and Slipper

We took down some beastly big dead pines out by the cabin. Thanks Maurice and Big Dan.
Should get some nice 1" lumber for use here on our projects. The sawmill that Alex built from scratch is doing the job.

Johnny Guitar Man comes to The Pipe and Slipper

Little Bandits arrive at The Pipe and Slipper

These guys lost their mom about 4 days ago.  Hadn't been eating or drinking until this morning.  They started eating soft cat food then began sitting in the water dish and having a drink. Thanks to the girls that contacted us. 
We will try not to make them new pets here at the farm.  They will get released back into the wild in a month or so.

Turkey in Toyota Yaris

Dear Toyota Corporate Office:
   After a trip to Costco in Barrie I realized we may have done something never done before.  I know the bible says, " There's nothing new under the sun."
At our first stop we collected, 5 large Costco cakes, 5 giant bags of chips, dish detergent, 1 party size tray of chip dip, 1 large loaf of bread and 2 SALADS.  At our second stop we picked up a 2 yr old live turkey who I've named Merle because of his smooth voice.  Add 3 full size humans and hit the highway north to Washago. 
The turkey was in the back seat watching traffic.

Re: The memory maker.

Johnny does Nel know about you and that slutty old Strat?  I sure hope she doesn't 

Learn how you've been sliding your fingertips across Sluttocaster's body while you're fondling her long sensuous neck. I mean...we're not talkin about a cute goat anymore!

This is serious stuff here!  Get hold of yourself.

This old traveler left the lodge today to be my voice for the afternoon.  I forgot how special she is.  Felt like crying after playing.  I don't think Ill change the pickups.

After recording "Tropical Tai Chi" for Sinclair Martial Arts, John offered this piece, which seems to work well with the "Swimming Dragon Body Baguazhang"

The Art of Terry Dyball

I met Terry Dyball a few years ago when a friend told me there was a guy in Washago that could keep all my junky lawn mowers running. He sure got that right.

Firstly, Terry is a number 1 gentleman who loves to talk. Secondly, a master small motors mechanic, firefighter, farmer, singer and he even helped Doctor Pat the vet, give our pig "Forest" a special operation.

I was croaking at him one day about welding a piece of art together as a Christmas gift for my brother. I don't have a photo of that piece but it was also beautiful. Fred and I standing together playing our guitars. A keepsake.

I stopped by his place today. He wasn't home but I got a shot of Johnny Guitar Man, along with Porky Pig and The Sunflower.

This is a good display of Terry's work as a craftsman and artist. More Tales from The Pipe and Slipper...

National Swimmer Knits Hat for Turkey

Pete the turkey was proud as he received his new hat on the weekend. Special guest Sue S. dropped over for a visit, bringing a specially designed hat for friendly Pete.

Pete spent the rest of the day parading back and forth in front of the gate showing off his new hat to passing neighbours. Thanks Sue. More Tales from The Pipe and Slipper...
