I wish there were more opportunities for me to share with people my favourite fact about myself:

My 8th great grandfather was the King of England.

(My 7th great grandfather was his illegitimate son).

Had an awesome time at the Anglophone North School district mountain bike races today!

Kids came home with 1st place, 3rd place, and 2nd place for their respective groups/grades!

Very glad to be a bike-loving family.

Yesterday’s bike commute was brought to me by:
⭐️ the stars
🥶 the cold noticeably impacting my battery life
🤢 Chatham’s current bad smell
😳 this long piece of metal getting wound around my cassette and forcing me to do emergency maintenance on the narrow sidewalk of the Centennial Bridge.

10/10. No notes.

All Lego sets should l come with cargo bikes.

I dunno man, September 10th seems a little early for Pogies but that 7° felt very cold this morning. 🥶

(Excuse my off-centre light - we finally got our basket yesterday and the light only fits sideways right now. 🫠)

My children might not believe in Santa or the tooth fairy anymore, but somehow they’ve managed to keep their belief in the dishwasher fairy.

I forgot that our car was in the shop today. My 11yo had soccer right after school and my 13yo had practice after that.

Good thing I had planned for us to bike these drop-off/pickups anyway! It allowed my 13yo to manage her own schedule, and gave me a chance to hear all about my son’s day - a gift!

Obsessed with finding out if this vehicle has one or multiple kids in it.

Listening to Ella and Louis Again this morning and my kids asked me who the male voice was. “Louis Armstrong”, I responded

“Oh, so Neil’s brother?”

This Lego set that I’m building is a great example of human-centered street design. 😍

Decided earlier this week that LEGO stocking stuffers this year were going to be custom holiday village MOCs from Rebrickable (including these cargo bikes).

And - of course - LEGO announced today they’re temporarily limiting pick a brick service in US and Canada because of US tariffs. 😭

I know people hate their front load washing machines but I will never buy a top load machine without an agitator again.

This error code has single handedly stolen innumerable hours from my life over the last 10 years, and has also removed any energy efficiency this machine was supposed to have.

Someone brought their pet baby raccoon to the Miramichi Walmart today, which… tracks.

Smoke coming from Chatham side of Miramichi now after this lightning.

Why can’t we just have trains?! 😭
August 9, 2025 at 7:20 PM
Bus brothers.

I love urban parks.

The train in question.

Moncton Via staff were rebooking would-be passengers for the next train… which is on Wednesday.

When will our politicians admit that our passenger rail system is embarrassing and needs an overhaul?

It isn’t a novelty, it’s a necessity.

I’m tired of talking about tariffs so instead can we talk about this sign off?

What does it mean?

1) is he trying to talk like Yoda? = I am with best wishes
2) is this some sort of weird “I am groot” thing? = I am Donald Trump
3) is the power just to his head = I am the President of the USA?
