If you’ve ever swung by my basement workshop here in Raymond, you know things can get pretty crowded. Between the stacks of vintage consoles waiting for a second lease on life and the modern gaming rigs in for a tune-up, there’s always something humming. But lately, I’ve added a new “staff member” to the team,…
You know that feeling when you’re vacuuming the living room, you’re on a roll, you’re finally getting those crumbs from behind the sofa, and, THWACK, the plug flies out of the wall because you ran out of cord? It’s a universal tragedy. It’s the tether that keeps us grounded, literally. For years, we’ve lived in…
We’ve all been there. You’re walking down 3rd Ave in Lethbridge, the wind kicks up: because, let’s be honest, it’s Lethbridge: and you fumble. Your iPhone does a spectacular backflip onto the pavement. You pick it up, praying to the tech gods, but there it is: the “spiderweb” look. Your screen is toast. Now, your…
If you live in Magrath, Stirling, or anywhere along the Highway 5 corridor, you know two things to be true: the wind is usually trying to push your truck into the ditch, and when your technology breaks, your first instinct is to look toward Lethbridge. It’s a habit. We’re programmed to think that “the big…
If you’ve spent any time driving between Raymond and Lethbridge lately, you know that things around here move at their own pace: usually dictated by the wind or the harvest.

It happens in slow motion. You’re stepping out of the truck, or maybe you’re just trying to balance a coffee and a toddler, and wham. Your iPhone takes a literal face-plant onto the pavement. You pick it up, praying to the tech gods, but there it is: the dreaded “spiderweb” of glass. Your next move…
Well, folks, it’s that time of year again. Out here in the Raymond, Magrath, and Stirling area, we know exactly what “spring” means. It means the snow is finally retreating, the wind is kicking up even harder than usual, if you can believe that, and the dust from the fields is starting to find its…
If you live in Southern Alberta, you know the drill. You wake up, the wind is howling at 80 clicks an hour, and you just want to settle in with a coffee and check the news or get some work done. Then, it happens. Your laptop makes a sound like a blender full of gravel,…
We’ve all been there. That heart-stopping, slow-motion moment where your phone slips from your hand and takes a dive. Whether it’s a puddle on a slushy Edmonton afternoon, a sink full of soapy dishes, or: heaven forbid: the toilet, the panic is real. The very first thing most people do after fishing their device out…
Hey there, neighbors. It’s Cody from Second Wind Sales and Services. If you’ve lived around Raymond or Magrath for more than a minute, you know that Southern Alberta is built on a certain kind of “neighborly” grit. We look out for each other.
