Creepy AF captures it kinda perfectly. Major yuck from here.

I remember this story from back in the day. It altered my perspective somewhat on Bob Dylan!

They heard you!!! 👍

And I’m okay with being a part of that %age.

Right. And I had the thought of using ‘self generated power’ but wonder what that takes away from the overall efficiency. I’ve looked anecdotally at panel angles vs sun exposure, and it doesn’t feel promising. But I have also not had someone in the biz look at it.

The concept is amazing. I most certainly support the idea. A purely Canadian but serious question: what is the impact of snow on the electrical output of panels? And what are the options for active removal of said snow load?

On the Island, Mill Bay-Duncan area. Looking forward to visiting with good friends!

Way to rep the #BlueBombers on an off night! I’ll be watching the crossover Eastern semifinal from the left Coast on Saturday!

Pretty sure that’s not St Vital!!!

I got mine at a local clinic.
The Costco run was a separate activity later in the day, and I am becoming too grumpy in my dotage to put up with them!

I had completely forgotten about it until I saw your mention of it. A good reminder to take the little round bandaids off, they’re kinda on the back side of my arm and I can’t see them unless I look in the mirror. Which I generally avoid.

I presume you meant from the shots and Costco… 😜

I got both of mine yesterday as well. A non-event as far as any after-effects. Then I went to Costco. That felt much worse...

Mission accomplished, yard marked!

Good for you! I’m afraid I can’t claim contentment but I think better days are looming!!!

CFL hanging in there. The Grey Cup game is in Winnipeg but the #BlueBombers may be hosting rather than participating. But still hanging in there.

I’m transitioning to the #NHL season and the #NHLJets. USican sports haven’t been my thing in the past, and given 2025 now even less so…

Hey ya back! Yeah Mastodon is my main hang lately but due to a medically forced ‘lay low’ period of time and general boredom I’ve been revisiting the other socials. Good to ‘see’ you! 👋

Canada is big. I went on a road trip to Red Deer AB one year, once I got on the TransCanada out of Winnipeg my GPS told me to go straight for 1335 kms, then turn right. 👍

Yes it’s an interesting phenomenon when we get to this stage of life. Not that we necessarily believed ourselves immortal, but actual mortality starts to become more relevant. This has been driven home for me a couple of times this year.

Nothing any more, all mending. Just some minor surgery with a ‘do nothing for 4 to 6 weeks’ after period.

Swedish term, literal translation is ‘death cleaning’. It’s not as morbid as it sounds. The idea is to sort out your world so someone else doesn’t have to. Kinda like downsizing I suppose.

I’ve been working on my Döstädning for the last while. The clothes are coming up on the hit list of crap to get rid of.
Luckily some of this will be easy, many items seem to have gotten too small for me so I don’t have to decide...
