My annual coffee fundraiser where I bring all my gear to the office to raise money for the food bank.
Or as I like to call it, bring your sickness to work day.

#yycbike update - not a thing cleared on Elbow river pathway from Stanley Park through to Rockyview hospital. Well trampled by walkers so pretty slow going. One melted and refrozen spot on the dam that is a bit spicy.

I just checked the status of a 311 ticket I put in a bit over a week ago. A car top carrier had come off and was lying on the 42 Ave bikeway.
The ticket was closed with the comment that a crew was dispatched to pick it up.
Or just kick it off to the side it turns out.

All the kids are out, so our romantic date night is wine and charcuterie by the fire. While we figure out what is left for Christmas shopping for the kids. 😂

Today's highlight - four bikes in the cage! 1.5% or so mode share! At -7C and icy.

Highlight of this morning's ride was a broken down sweeping machine on the pedestrian overpass by Rockyview hospital. Was a tight squeeze getting the bike past it.
Road down to Sandy Beach was a bit sketchy, and there were tracks indicating a rider went down in the park. #yycbike

Pathway construction update - paving was underway on the reconstructed Sandy Beach hill pathway on Saturday. Looked like they were close to finishing. Current re-opening date is Nov 25 and that looks likely. #yycbike

Today's WTF moment - had a driver pass me while I was in the driving lane avoiding the door zone of a car that just parked.
In a playground zone.
In front of an elementary school.
In the oncoming lane.
Nearly running over the mid-road caution sign.
Cutting off a vehicle coming towards us.

I finally had to replace one of the LED bulbs I installed when we bought the house. Over 13 years ago. LED bulbs were quite new, and I think these were close to $50 a piece back then. But 13+ years is amazing, look at that heat sink. The new ones are cheaper but not nearly so well engineered.

My ebike has been in the shop for a bit for some warranty repairs so I've been riding my old touring bike to work. I don't hate it, it's actually getting kinda fun.

Kinda disappointing to open up a Belgian gueuze as a thanksgiving treat and have the aroma being overwhelming cardboard.
Sadly tossed it, first time we've ever had a bad bottle from this brewery.

Wanna hear something weird? There are three of us that ride our bikes to work more often than not. Last month, two of us had our only crash of the year on the same day.

Always have one thing in your kitchen that truly terrifies you. 😂
Not really, pressure canning just requires a suitable attention to detail.
