“Cow Farts”

December 5, 2019 by Joel Chamaschuk Leave a Comment

2019: Day 3 2019 was the year that climate change really became a hot topic – more so than any other year.  This was thanks in large part to the efforts of a 16 year old activist from Sweden, Greta Thunberg, whose blunt, direct speaking manner caught the world’s attention.  She organized Fridays off for … [Read more…]

“Chain Reaction”

December 31, 2018 by Joel Chamaschuk Leave a Comment

2018: Day 13 (Bonus!) Chain Reaction!  There.  We said it.  For 16 months, we’ve been sitting on this poorly kept secret not knowing exactly when it was safe to announce the name of our winery.  Pretty much from the day we bought this property (or shortly thereafter) in 2017, we decided on the name Chain … [Read more…]

“The Broken Chainsaw”

December 29, 2018 by Joel Chamaschuk Leave a Comment

2018: Day 12 Because 2 chainsaws is better than one.  I never thought I’d own a chainsaw, let alone 2.  After all, I had gone 50+ years without the need.  But things change when you buy a farm. Coming into 2018, we had an ambitious plan.  At the time it didn’t seem so ambitious, but … [Read more…]

“My Kubota”

December 3, 2018 by lchamaschuk 3 Comments

2018: Day 1 I never thought I’d own a tractor.  In fact, I never thought I’d need a tractor.  Tractors are way cool and all, but how do you sell ‘way cool’ to your wife or girlfriend?  Chicks just don’t get it. Of course way cool became essential due to this whole “drop your city … [Read more…]

“Lone Wolf”

December 19, 2017 by lchamaschuk Leave a Comment

2017: Day 9 Remember that time you were invited to a great party but you were the only one that showed up? Yeah, neither do I. But, sadly, Joanne F is quite familiar with it! Here’s how it went down. It started out as a great idea a couple years ago. She was going to be … [Read more…]

“50 ‘Shrooms”

December 11, 2017 by lchamaschuk Leave a Comment

2017: Day 6 A funny thing happened on my birthday this year – Stephen King-like in its weirdness. No clowns were hiding in the gutters but something just as peculiar occurred. It started out like any other swim morning in our small town of Ladner. (See, it starts like a Stephen King novel). I got … [Read more…]

“Mmmm! Peach! Mint!”

December 6, 2017 by lchamaschuk Leave a Comment

2017: Day 3  2017. What happened to you? You showed such promise! We started with a beautiful polar bear swim then everything seemed to go downhill. I know – I get it. You were completely dominated by the Orange Anus against your will. This is where I spend the next few paragraphs ranting like a … [Read more…]

“The Wall”

January 30, 2017 by lchamaschuk Leave a Comment

Day 2 of the 1460 days of drinking: “The Wall” Pink Floyd!! I know, I know, I know. You were thinking this post would be about the now famous wall that, this past week, was enacted by Executive Order. Unfortunately, when we now hear “wall”, we think Trump. However, for nearly 40 years, Pink Floyd … [Read more…]

“The UTRs”

December 11, 2016 by lchamaschuk Leave a Comment

2016: Day 6 For the third straight year I was quite fortunate to be part of relay team at Challenge Penticton. My team mates Sarah and Tammi had all completed iron distance races in July so this race was just for giggles. We promised not to take it too seriously. As with the other relays, it was just a … [Read more…]

“Light it Up”

December 9, 2016 by lchamaschuk Leave a Comment

2016: Day 5 “She believed she could, so she did”. Tonight we celebrate our good friend Sarah. We met Sarah a little over a year ago when spinning in Tammi’s garage. At the time, she had a marathon under her belt as well as two sprint distance triathlons. She had just signed up for Ironman which … [Read more…]
