Putting my motorcycle to sleep for the winter today. Climbed a mountain with it in 2025 and generally found a hobby that allowed my inner tinker brain to be engaged. Aiming to do a big international trip with my wife someday.

Just took our son to Paw Patrol Christmas at Landmark.
The staff are lovely. One person offered to let us play a Star Wars arcade game for free.

I need a contractor who gets old houses to help me isolate why we have such a cold room in one part of our house. Requires someone who gets that a house in 1928 is different than a current design. Requires understanding a house as a system. Do you know such a person in Edmonton?
