Rural Man Repairs Barn Roof

In anticipation of the first annual "Rawk the Coop"festivities, one of your intrepid hosts climbed atop the "Man-Garage" to nail down some sheets of tin pried loose by the constant Wheatley winds....risking life and limb to ensure a safe and successful event.

Despite emerging septic issues (the tank has since been pumped out, everyone), the inaugural May long weekend party went extremely well....in spite of questionable weather, it appeared that a good time was had by all. The weekend was punctuated with live music (courtesy The Shitflower), bonfires, BBQ, a fish fry, a kite fly, horseshoes....and OK, a little rain and some near death camping experiences. You know who you are.

Weekend pics to follow - for now, enjoy these highly entertaining action shots!

It's all good until you lean out over to hold the nail...

So we managed to make a visit to see Lauri, Allan and the three nieces north of Kingston, along with Mike's Grandmother. On the way back, we swung by The Farm in Prince Edward County, west of Milford. Nothing says home like a visit to The Farm......
