The first significant snowfall occurred today but before we get to that let’s talk Saturday.
In the morning Maggie wanted to return some items so we went to the mall (Brandon and I stayed in the car) so she could do her thing. We had pho for lunch then headed to Port Colbourne so I could pick up an iOptron Skytracker camera mount. Hehe I quite enjoy astrophotography and with a tracker mount, I should be able to get better photos of the milky way and maybe even some deep sky photos. I’ll need a ball head and a heavier duty tripod & can get those pieces later.
In the evening Maggie wanted to go to Niagara Falls to see the Christmas festival lights (we did it last year) and it was fun. We got there a bit too early at the beginning but it got dark fast so it worked out well.
I didn’t bring my flash so I needed to use whatever light the decorations gave off and they turned out pretty well. That and I have great dynamic range on the Canon EOS R5 lol… For dinner we went to Montanas, Maggie suggested it and I was actually a bit surprised since she doesn’t typically like pub food but it was good and Brandon got to draw. which he enjoys. Poor Slinky though, I forgot to give him extra food so he must have been very hungry when we came home.
Getting to today, yeah it was the first significant snowfall of the season and we’re ready! Both Lexus’ have their winter tires on and winter gear in the trunks so yeah about as prepared as one can be. To keep Maggie’s car warm for the duration of the winter we’ll keep her car stored in the garage while mine freezes in the drive way lol.
Thankfully the snow was the light fluffy stuff so it wasn’t heavy, I got the boy to help me clear the driveway and sidewalk so we were done in no time. Man we really do need to expand the driveway, moving cars around really sucks though I guess when stuff freezes I could just park on the grass lol. That’s on the list of things to do, hopefully we can get to it next year when we do some other renovations to the house.
Didn’t do much today, Maggie went to play badminton while Brandon and I stayed home. Bring on the cold and snow, I want to see what my Lexus NX & it’s AWD can do. 😉
