A " feel good blog" in more ways than one!! ;-)

It's Sunday about noon the last time I checked and I have decided to do something for ME for a change of always helping out others, but in a way I still am helping out ' others" ! ;-) ;-) This is actually the first nice weekend we've had this year, sunny skies, great visability, slight breeze, and cool temps, ( +23 C = 72 F ). I'm going flying this afternnon instead of diving for a relaxation day. I decided to rent a Cessna 185 from our local flying club and tool around ' up there' for 3 hours, maybe see how the farmers fields are doing, go up over to the Interlake area area and see the boats on Lake Winnipeg, you know a PILOT thing to do. I have the lic. may as well use it!! LOL!! I actually have had "it" since 1978 and have a lot of airtime. I'm commercial/air transport rated. I called my best friend/buddy/ex-partner here in the City and asked if he wanted to come along , and his little guy who is 4 years old was listening on the extens...

SCAMS AND FRAUDS DOING SOME PRO-ACTIVE POLICING

Image
THE LATEST SCAMS as compiled by the RCMP and O.P.P., and I must give credit where it is sue and thank my buddies for telling me about the *hottest* ones out there at the moment. Call me old or even old fashioned but I grew up in the era when ' pro active policing ' was part of the norm and I still will if I have the time and opportunity I'm scheduled to give a talk to the members of my Legions Ladies Auxillary who are mainly seniors so I have made this handout for them to take home and review, feel free to copy and pass it on. I still believe in the Oath, and I happen to be a member of the group OATHKEEPERS!! No matter how disenchanted I get with the job , DUTY, TRUTH, and HONOR reign supreme , and trust me I am not trying to be super cop, I sstill happen to like the job, what can I say??!! ------------------------------------------------------ 900 Scams CRTC improves safeguards for 1-900 users The 900 scams are a variation on a prize scheme.

PISSING ME OFF BIGTIME!!!!

The G20 conference is on full swing in Toronto at the moment and I'm watching the news over dinner and what do I see?? Idiots rioting in the streets, a police car on fire ( one of 5 SO FAR) people acting like fools and throwing crap at my Brothers who are there trying to keep the peace, protect the populace, and maintain some semblance of moving traffic!! So far it has cost the taxpayers in Canada close to $1 BILLION for security and these morons are adding to the cost by every police car they torch. At a cost of a fully outfitted Crown Vic being around $80,000 don't these assholes realize that it is going to end up costing them more in taxes!! Or is it?? From the live news photos I've been seeing it seems the majority of the protesters seem to be students ( going to University with the help of our tax dollars) and recent immigrants to Canada ( who are most likely on assistance as they don't have work visa's.) But what is really pissing me off is the fact tha...

KEEPING YOU SAFE- MARKING YOUR PROPERTY- ( Some proactive policing :-) !!)

PROPERTY MARKING Marking your property is one of the most simple and effective ways of protecting your possessions. Personally I prefer your drivers license number. Be sure to identify the number you use as to province, state, school or other traceable record. * For a start, property marking puts burglars off because it let's others know that the item has been stolen, making it much more difficult to sell. The other big advantage is that it makes tracing and returning your stolen property a lot easier for police. *There are two main types of property marking: the first is known as permanent marking, when you engrave or "punch" your property with your street number and postcode. Inexpensive permanent marketing kits can be bought from most DIY stores. * Make sure you engrave with a fine drill or sharp-pointed tool, and use a template or stencil to keep it neat and tidy. Punching is a form of permanent marking that is done with a hammer and a set of punches bearing numbers...

Bryan : I was thinking about you last night Bryan!! I was thinking about Brandy and your little man, your nephew Conner ( Who's getting OLD now Bry-- the big 16!! ), all of your family who I've come to know and love also through FB, and all of your co-workers at the PD. And hey Bro..you made me shed a few tears again..so what does an old cop do in that case?? He put's pen to paper so my thoughts will never be lost. This is for you Bryan...I miss you..and I'm not ashamed to say I love you too, I'm a bit of a softy under this gruff old cop exterior, but you know what I mean cop to cop when we say we love each other. And Bryan, if any of your co-workers or family ever need to talk..I'M HERE FOR THEM! Rest peacefully my Brother, one of America's heroes!! A COP CRIED LAST NIGHT Yes, a cop cried last night, And that Officer was ME! I cried over the loss of your life, your smile, your laughter, your humour and wit.
