Did I mention I like Disc Golf.
Cannot fathom the level of ignorance to do this shit.

Coyote out for a stroll on roncy this morning.

Toronto Bike Share announces an online forum on service expansion today at 2:00PM.

Registrations are open until Nov 21st, however are conveniently already sold out as of 11:15 PM.

Somehow I'm not surprised. I want to love this service but they are just so consistently disappointing.

Love the comment about winter tires. I wonder what portion of car owners own a jack and torque wrench.

Only just booked my tire changeover as Sunday marks the first real cold stretch.

Impending salt dumpage next Sunday overnight into Monday. Let's see if this forecast holds.

Bickford Park, 9AM Weekdays like clockwork.

I have never seen enforcement and I've been reporting this for nearly a year now.

New obstacle on 9.

New raspberry buds in... October?

One day I'll replace my shift cable BEFORE it grenades in the shifter...

Not today though...

The locals were a bit upset with the lack of crossing infrastructure.

Toronto just hits different in October.

It's been a bit over a year since I had a slice of apple pie from Winkel 43 in Amsterdam, but the cravings are still there.

This was my best stab after asking ChatGPT to review and compile all the various copycats online.

The crust has blended in speculaas cookies. 😬

An hour later on Palmerston.... It never ends.

Not 30 seconds after I took a photo of roadworks on Shaw shunting pedestrians into the road on, I watched a scooter get hit by this woman racing across Shaw Street on Pendrith.

Never had visitors quite as interesting as when I lived at this condo.

This morning I noticed it was hosting one of the biggest jumping spiderbros I've ever seen.

My favourite plant this year has to be this accidental basil hybrid. Displaying some fierce hybrid vigor (recently pruned Tulsi for scale).

Seedling came up this summer from a planter where I had Genovese and Tulsi last year.

The Steam Deck LCD has a pretty sweet deal right now, obviously more than a 406H but a minor premium given the performance difference.

There's a fundamental shift in culture that needs to happen in Toronto with respect to our pedestrian and cycling infrastructure.

Our own city service vehicles don't even respect it. These park staff were restocking a planter a few meters away, evidently staff can't use hand trucks or carts?

Rest of the household wasn't quite as excited to see a Northern Flicker jumping around the compost bin as I was, so I decided to put it on the internet.

My local freshco drives me bonkers with this...

Urban Wildlife is always the highlight of disc golf.

Ontario Line bridge work at ET Seton. Probably one of the largest crawler cranes I've ever seen in person.
