Picked up one of these new fancy blue tooth tires for my trailer

It looks like it was about time for a new tire! (I didn't even know they came with bluetooth. What will they think of next?)

I think that's the TPMS valves. I think they are good, saved me driving on a deflating tyre a little while ago.

The day before yesterday I went down to the Dam to see what this guy was doing standing on the corner looking up the road at us.
Turned out that he was flying a drone, and was bringing it in for a landing.

He stated that he was doing some research on the area.
That prompted the question of what/why/and who for?

(Been a lot of weird land registry things happening over the past year by different departments)

No this was for himself a "researcher"-history of the area-he was interested in seeing if the sketches made in the 1820's actually were true to the topography of what is here today.

Turns out this very interesting fellow was an author of 7 or 9 books.
Local history of the river systems, and has written one on the railways of Ontario called "The First Spike".
The book on the "Salmon River" showed himself @80 yrs old with his buddies some @ 90 yrs old white water kayaking in the winter!
Now if there isn't a case of not being too old to be enjoying life.
(His kayak group median age was 82 yrs old.)


The mrs came to check on why I left the job at hand, and was in-depth in a yakking session with a stranger.
Now only 2.5-3 hrs had slipped by .

The guy stated he could date railway rail/spikes to the year they were manufactured. (Big display of both spikes and slices of rail)
He found them from door knocking, and detecting old railway lines.

He gave me a copy of one of the pictures of my water system and dam as it looked like in the 1820's.
His contact information also, so I probably will get a book from him on the next visit.
