Although we've officially been in winter mode here the past couple of weeks, the #mbstorm outlook for tonight into tomorrow will certainly make it a blizzard-y winter wonderland. Enough snow for plenty of snowballs but will be kinda cold for them to hold together very well as snow becomes more […]

After last year's absence due to the #canadapost strike in 2024, was greeted with the thirty-nineth annual #xmas card from my old neighbour today.
It's entitled "Christmas Day" and was a pleasant surprise to see after the last four, which cycled through the […]

Ah, a couple of nice shots of @codysimpson and @emmamckeon from a recent outing:

This cargo sailing vessel arrived in Baltimore today from the French territory of St. Pierre and Miquelon (off Newfoundland).
Quite something.
Apparently, the sailing tech can be adapted to fit other existing cargo vessels, if […]

I think Codes handles the buzz cut look well:
https://mastodon.social/@codysimpson@kilogram.makeup/115429539513697356

Certainly worked for him (and was needed?) during the grueling professional swim era.

However, the one problem I see has to do with dating his photos, especially since he's […]

I like this retrospective by @codysimpson on his "eras"...
https://mastodon.social/@codysimpson@kilogram.makeup/115381091945707635

His "hippie" era was quite "Down to Earth" (hey, sounds like a song name...) and I think he'll always carry a bit of that with him, as it changed his life.

But […]

The countdown continues for @Bigrigtravels whom will be handing in the Blue Comet to complete twenty years of professional truck driving next September.
As of this morning, he has three hundred twenty-seven days to go.
His career mileage currently stands somewhere over 2,135,000.
The succeeding […]

A recent run-in with a rather amateur paparazzi (Celebrity "Chaos") whom broke some "big news" from @codysimpson whilst visiting B.H.:

The "big news" isn't that he'll have new music, it's whether it'll be out before he turns thirty, or not.
Not sure if Cody even […]

With the Premiere in attendance today
Watching his son play
It was a tense one
That didn't look like it would go our way

But the boys kept at it
& were rewarded in the last little bit

OT came & went
One point had been won
But a shootout was needed
To solve the game's outcome

Victory was […]

Tonight's game was setup to be
a game to remember for you and me

We were never behind, mostly ahead, and also tied,
but when OT ended we cheered with pride

For the Knights have now gone three and oh
if you were in attendance it was quite the show

Drove back to our room before the game yesterday,
to pickup someone's shin pads left behind,
had returned by the start of the first period,
so that player could be part of his line,

the game was another good showing for us,
with decent offense and d,
encouraging to see the boys come together […]

Home opener was last night,
which was a testy and close affair,
with many good chances for a knight,

in the end, a point shot won it,
goal three with three thirty-three left in the third,
off the stick of Cody,
it was a beauty, you must admit.

Nice to see some grey-haired Barker episodes of TPiR starting to show up on The Barker Era Pluto channel, along with Buzzr now, too:
Here's an exciting playing of "Three Strikes '+' ":

They are streaming shows from late 1988, which is one full year after Bob stopped […]

The team worked hard and were rewarded with their first exhibition win this evening -- a one-nothing, shutout (combined, between two goaltenders, whom played roughly half the game).
I think back to the same preseason visit to this opponent last year, and I can tell we are more focused and […]

We had the distinction of playing in the first (exhibition) game of the new hockey season in our league.
Lots of new faces made up our roster, but many were also seasoned.
We had four broken sticks during the game, with one player, alone, going through three of them.
We did lose, but exhibition […]

A serious crash, yesterday, on I69, just south of Marion, Indiana, was recorded at a distance by @Bigrigtravels :

A semi truck appears to have hit a guardrail in a construction zone and broke apart before burning down.

Had a "different" Vision of @codysimpson just now. It involved us being the auxiliary crew of a space mission, where we were two separate members of a four member primary crew as we travelled out to Pluto to conduct experiments and drop a commemorative plate, about the size of a door mat onto […]

That’s the thing about the open web…you’re dealing with human beings, with all their quirks and flaws (and we all have them). There are some people I highly respect technically, but I also think are not very nice human beings. There are others who I respect on all counts. But regardless, I would […]

It's "Driver Appreciation Month" for the Pilot-Flying J chain of truck stops. @Bigrigtravels is featured in a related marketing campaign (as he was last year) from his work during a photo/video shoot in Albuquerque, NM in late May 2024.
Last year, they had […]

Well, interesting to see @codysimpson recreate his "Pretty Brown Eyes" clear floating lounger pool shot, after all these years.
I wasn't part of that era, but he's certainly nostalgic about it (plus it does quite a bit for his OG fans).
I'm waiting, just like everyone else, for his new music to […]
