Celebrated my 2nd eBike anniversary by doing some 'destination biking' east of town (near Bienfait, SK) in what some generations around here used to call 'The Highness Hills' - the remaining spoil piles from previous decades of strip-mining for coal.
Full 8-min video here:

Making some Red Moruga Spicy Dill Pickle Slices today using homegrown cucumbers, some volunteer dill, and the Red Moruga Monster (~1.2 Million SHU). Should be good for a kick. 😉🌶️ 🥒

Finished another portion of the front yard today; adding some hardscaping to reduce the front lawn footprint and using it for three raised beds for my tomatoes. One more small section to go to square the other end off, but that will have to wait until fall.

Realize I haven’t made an effort to post here on Bluesky, more often than not I get caught up in the trainwreck that is Twitter and can’t look away. So, I’m gonna try to change that.
We’ve had an above average summer for heat and the yard is exploding. Here’s a few shots from around the yard:

Bit of snow and cool here today, so what better day to finally spend time in the studio. Tracking drums today for a yet untitled number.
We’ll see how it feels. 🎶

Finally, a non-wordle post! The weather is getting nice here and it’s time to get the e-bike prepped for the season! Had a chance yesterday to change out the original tires; got almost 3800 kms out of them! Swapped them out for something slightly more knobby!
