Last week on my 3rd trip to the mighty Miramichi I landed my first salmon! A nice little grilse on a royal undertaker. Definitely a great experience!

Arliss and I fished the C&R section of the Kenny today. Hit the river about 11 am and fished till 5ish. Initially hard fishing with few fish in a few different spots. Thirty to 40 trout caught in total. Water was a bit high, running fast and chilly.

Last week NBCC‘s #Cybersecurity 2025 year end capstone wrapped up! Congratulations to the winning team, CtrlAltDefeat! All students worked hard and deserve a shout out, but only the top team is awarded the coveted Lappy trophy.

Managed to get for a fish this past Friday. My buddy Kale and I hit the catch and release section of the Kennebecasis. Caught my first trout of the year on a fly my wife @brynphd.com made. The green wooly bugger. It wasn’t a monster, but it’s a start. Rose a few bigger fish, but no takers.

Advanced polling at St. Luke’schurch is slow today. Looking like a 45 minute wait with only one ballot box. Seriously Elections Canada?

Great keynote this morning from @hacks4pancakes.com at #ATLSECCON . Solid food for thought on how we need to review and change how we build our #cyersecurity talent pipeline. #HireEd … we have some hard work to do!
