Well, the boiler has been firing up less frequently of late. Just about time to shut down the system for the spring & summer. Yeah, we have hot water radiators at our place…which turned 100 this year incidentally. The fact that these rads are stamped Patented April 16, 1887…is really cool…and hot too I guess. Still a viable heating system after all these years. It also brings to mind a band.

For the season’s last blast of hot air and a pipeful of JACK Nation points, enter the correct response into the BONUS CODES section at www.925jackfm.com.

Ah, the long weekend is approaching. It’s the traditional ‘planting weekend’ for us here in Southern Ontario which usually necessitates a trip to the garden centre. With a million other people. Dealing with the line-ups, the parking lots and such may just turn you into this.

Really interesting blurb in the Toronto Star yesterday on ‘backyard farming’. In the city. Chickens. In your backyard!

It seems that there are just three cities in Canada where it’s legal to keep chickens. Victoria, British Columbia, Niagara Falls, Ontario….and yes, Brampton!

How ’bout you? Would you ever consider it? Lots of work. Might be fun. What about the neighbours? Could lead to this….

Oh yeah…a quick note about the Facebook page that’s been set up. We have to be careful about this.

As stated at http://www.m2omedia.com/cjaq/nonmembers/rules.jsp ,

9. Sharing of 925 Pay Song, Bonus Codes, or other JACK Nation JACK Nation Points earnings among members is expressly prohibited. Violations will result in the termination of all violating account(s) and/or forfeiture of all accumulated JACK Points.

I don’t want to see you lose anything, so perhaps we’re better off sharing clues here on this site.

Cool?
