A blog about automations, food and country life
Having the automower for the last month or so and actually being pleased with it, I needed to experiment with it. I was able to download the Husqvarna Automower application which gave me a lot of control on the mover. I was able to start/stop, set a schedule, adjust the grass height of the mover […]
In all the years Mom and Dad have been to Canada, the one thing they did not experience is proper camping. So we decided to take them to New River Beach for two nights in May. To say this was an experience for Dad and Mom was an understatement, the setup was fun where we […]
With summer here, its time to make something refreshing. One of my favorite dishes that mom makes is her Trifle. Its filled with jelly, custard and of course cake. I know its a simple recipe but its one that I cannot seem to replicate. So this time around I stood besides mom to see how […]
One of the biggest battles we had when my wife and I moved in together was because we both have our ways of cleaning the house. Elma is the proper take her time & detail-oriented cleaner while I on the other hand is quick & and hide it underneath the carpet kinda person. So we […]
At the time of writing this post, I have been living in New Brunswick for almost 20 years. To my amazement I found out that we had a two-third the size replica of Noah’s Arc. Now this I just had to see, so off we went to Bristol, New Brunwick. This was a 1hr drive […]

Luckily all-mighty amazon came to the rescue and […]
One of the perks of the new place was that we got three heat pumps in the house, which is amazing for keeping our energy costs down. The downside to them was that they did not connect to my smart eco-system. So this needed to change. After doing some google-foo and thanks to all-mighty amazon, […]
Elma and I have always gone hunting for the spots that are off the road and places where people normally do not go to. This normally involves a lot of google-foo and also hunting on allTrails to find some, normally finding some that are atleast 30m drive away. To our surprise we found something that […]
Over the years I have been blessed with a lot of friends, and they have been cursed with me. The reason I say that is because I am a horrible friend. I do not call, I do not text, I do not make small talk. That is Elma’s PR section. Most people would like that, […]
This May, I finally got to take a “Me” day. So, I took the opportunity to go see a waterfall that has been on my mind for a while. It’s called Mactaquac falls, and it was supposed to be around 10km of walking to the falls. My dumb ass thought that this is the one […]
