Free Blade Sharpening

FREE sharpening of circular carbide tooth saw blades for the Thetis Islander!!!

It seems we live in an age where waste seem not to matter and climate 'goes down the drain' - as you know our garbage from CVRD is exported to the US (the burnable stuff!)!?! I don't want to know what comes out of that chimney. The rest goes to the landfill. And what I can see there are tons and tons and....will there ever be a change...ever...I believe only if you start by yourself!

Well for me avoiding any waste is the best solution. Since I do all kind of 'fixing, reuse and re-purpose' - I sharpen my tools - saw blades etc. too. I sharpened some saw blades today. Some are over 25 years old. So, I thought I could do this for the Thetis Islander too. NO CHARGE!!! I don't need to be another million/billionaire!! :)

If you feel guilty to pay something donate something to our community hall or the Thetis school. BUT please DO NOT bring a box full of blades or blades from friends from wherever or from a contractor or...!!

If you have a dull carbide tip circular saw blade (diameter ~3.5" to ~27") just stop by and drop it off. I will sharpen it. DON'T throw it away even if it has a few broken teeth!!!

AND if you have a broken drill bit - DO NOT throw it away either!! Doesn't matter which size!!! I may can reuse it to make it work on my lathe and/or mill! OR - if it is still long enough - I can resharpen it for you too. Learned how to sharpen drill bits/tools over 40 years ago - still can sharpen the drill bits by hand - no gadget needed!! Please bring both drill bit pieces if you have.

I am usually around but before you stop by please text or call the day before - contact see Thetis phone book.

Meat Order Telegraph Harbour Marina

Welcome Back!

The latest meat order is in stock at Telegraph Harbour Marina:

This one contains Fresh smoked farmer sausage, Cooked farmers sausage, Heritage New York strip loins (these look amazing)And mixed 63 acre/grass fed beef cheeks. Great price point on these, and they will be delicious braised or slow cooked.

In addition to this, I've restocked the maple pork sausage, the beef dinner sausage, and the Italian fresh sausage (all frozen) 

Also in the freezer, we have more ground venison, ground turkey thigh, and grass-fed ground beef, along with a trial run of 63 acres ground beef 

We have some ribeye, grassfed dino ribs, and top sirloin in the fresh fridge from last order - I will freeze this down once it completes wet aging on Monday. In the freezer, we have a number of striploin and ribeye from an earlier price point, which was a little lower. We also have some eye of rounds in the freezer at a good price point if you're looking for a deal!

Tai Chi class is cancelled this Monday 11th November for Remembrance Day.

The Winter Concert - what is it all about?

The winter concert has been a tradition for over 35 years in our community. The main reason for the concert is to get together and celebrate our community, and to brighten up the darker days of winter by sharing our talents. In fact some years it seemed like the concert was a talent show, with acts spanning from ventriloquism, mini orchestra, belly dancing, humorous skits, a dress- up version of the twelve days of Christmas, singing groups, magic acts, musical interludes on the piano, guitar, harp, flute, ukulele, fiddle and more, original poetry, shadow puppetry, and even a performance of "When I was a Lad" from HMS Pinafore by Gilbert and Sullivan! The school students participate with singing, and small and large plays. There is also a sing-along part for the audience. At the end of the one-hour long concert there are refreshments and a time to mingle.

Why not share your favourite poem? Play a song or two? We are still looking for some more acts.

Please get in touch with me so I can plan the program, or if you have any questions.

Thank you!
