~3mm glass shard I removed from the thickest part of my bike tyre tread after it gave me a flat. Picked up on a multi-use path no less. #yegbike

A colleague spilled a bottle of water into my computer on Friday. This is the damage by today despite pulling it apart to dry it out as much as was feasible and blowing a fan at it all weekend. Repair cost $490 from a local electronics tech vs upwards of $800 for a new logic board from apple. 😖

Did some paint stripping today. First sash of four stripped outside with my heat gun. Took about 3 hours. I may try chemical Peel Away 1 on the next one. The meeting rail is rough and may need some epoxy filler.

No more 95-year old split cast iron plumbing stack. Got this replaced today by BR plumbing. Hopefully will also cure the high CO2 levels in the back of the house too!#myoldehouseinyeg

For the #yegheritage minded, here’s a fun fact. Edmonton’s Groat Estate (singular) district is the small area of land between Groat Ravine, the North Saskatchewan River Valley, 124 St and Stony Plain Road.

Reported no fewer than six sharerow markings for replacement to 311 today along with a non-compliant infill construction site and flowering noxious weeds. As @cityofedmonton.bsky.social don’t put up sharerow signs anymore, the pavement markings are all there is to go by. #yegbike

Two strips of very damaged Kodacolor II negatives my dad and I found in a wrecked car back in 1994 or thereabouts. Likely from the late 1970s as Kodacolor II was sold from 1973 to 1982. Appears to be from a Bachman-Turner Overdrive concert. I cleaned them up and scanned them.
