Busy days, under the sun.
I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world
and a desire to enjoy the world.
This makes it hard to plan the day.

My brother Allan has put in a 17 kilowatt Solar Array for his home in Saskatchewan pictured below. He also uses Geo-thermal energy via a heat pump. Good work indeed.

It’s going to be quite a place. And great with all the sun power supply.
thank you for sharing
your caring efforts
of producing power

Your welcome David. I’m grateful and privileged to be able to.
Wonder quote and fantastic images.
Intriguing and very impressive, Bruce. You do some wonderful work!
Thanks Debra. A labour of love.
Hi Bruce, What is the long white thing, looks like a giant surf board? Do you have a wind source? Sorry our president is so rude to your PM. Crazy times. Someone said that being mad at Canada is like being mad at a Golden Retriever. Made me laugh.
Hi Susan. It’s good to hear from you. I was away from the computer for a few days. The white thing next to my truck in the photo is a large wind blade from the Cape Scott Wind Farm on northern Vancouver Island. I was an early wind energy proponent. as far back as 2000 on this particular project . I did the following post when it came on line a few years a few years back,… made a typo though- the wind farm produces 99 MEGA watts, not 99 watts. https://throughtheluminarylens.wordpress.com/2013/06/16/wow-more-mega-watts-from-cape-scott-on-global-wind-day/
Speaking of political antics, just last week the province of Ontario elected a Trump clone – Doug Ford…. so it seems Canada too is not immune to the crazy times. Loved the analogy given to Canada as a Golden Retriever. Loyal and friendly. I feel only a little bad to say, but it seems that the USA is often sort of like a Pit Bull at times. Good and bad is everywhere in the world though.
Always good to hear from you, Bruce 🙂
Thanks … I’ve had a low profile lately, and haven’t even taken time to drop over to other folks blogs. It’s nice to here from you too, Rosaliene … a kindred spirit.
Thanks for the lovely views and good for your brother. I love that quote. It’s so apt.

Thanks Janet… It’s all about balance, isn’t it? Top photo is one of the Northern most points on Vancouver island. Buildings are my construction work.
