You've just died. The 6th picture in your gallery is what killed you.

Awfully nice of the designers of this chair to make it #dachshund size.

To quote Rip Tide, as played by Johnny Fever (Howard Hesseman), "It's gotta be paid for, right?...You just slip the old rip the
cashier's check in his pocket...'

I think of this scene whenever someone wonders about Trump's strategy, for anything.

Yesterday I had my first dose of Shingrix (along with annual COVID). Woke up @ 0330, shivering cold with every muscle feeling like a ran an Ironman yesterday.

Slo Mo Tuesday.

My Saturday coffee and muffin* came from a small indy market in #LondonOntario.

*Pumpkin spice. Thought you'd appreciate that

Finished "The Plot to Destroy Democracy" by @malcolmnance.bsky.social. An excellent read about RU and the first Trump term. If you are 🇨🇦, you will see clear parallels here. Smaller and later, but it's happening; we have our own useful idiots. 10/10 recommend

Do not thank me for my service.

Today is about them, not me.

They shall grow not old...

Nice setup.

Had mine done last week. 🌨️

There are too many Canadians who read about issues with US ATC with a hearty "F*** them!"

Flight from YYZ to YHZ. Note how much of it goes through the US. This is one example of many such Canadian domestic routes that use US airspace.

Now try flying to Mexico.

This is a problem for Canadians

If you are ever around Summerside/Annand PEI, and need bike service or an excellent baked good and coffee, stop at Knead a Brake.

Haven't been on the Island in 10 years. Here for Junior's Big 3-0h!

The old dad gave her a set of golf clubs. She's officially a grown up.

I don't usually post or forward these things. Haven't sold anything in years; all surplus stuff is donated to thrift shops or ReStore. I don't need the money but someone who can't afford new might find a treasure.

Donate those gently used toys now

I can't read the link; no subscription to the G&M. Not a complaint about firewalls.

Based on the headline, G&M is clueless. In my younger days in the military, I could drive coast to coast and never lose the Jays on radio. There are now 14 stations in Canada.

None in MB, none east of ON.

If you like Keegan's writing, and I do, then you need to buy his book.

10/10 recommend. Put it on your Christmas list.

I am confused as to why MLB is still TBD for G3 & 4 start times. We know the teams and sites, and there is no "if necessary."

@keeganmatheson.bsky.social any ideas/updates ?

There is something about a beach after the summer is over...

Ride complete. Time for a soak.
Double shot of espresso floated on top of sparkling water. The speaker is playing Centerfield by John Fogarty. Of course.

Ride fuel. A pumpkin spice scone and double shot at Streamliner Espresso Bar in St Thomas.

Ride home. Soak in the hot tub. Then #Bluejays #OctoberBaseball

I had no idea that this was a thing.

Farewell to Craigleith Provincial Park. Another park ticked off the list and another camping season done.

Thanks to the good folks of Grey County for the wonderful Georgian Trail. A nice route for some recreational riding while camping.
