Just heard that Barley's #homebrewing Supplies in #sapperton is closing down at the end of February. This is sad, because this is my go-to home brewing shop. We have lost Dan's, Centennial, and now Barley's. Seems like #vancouver can't support a home brew supply shop.

I am thankful for small things, like the waterproof SPD cycling boots I picked up at the Boxing Week sales. Those boots were a boon today! #bikeyvr

I bought a full face helmet for my MTB, it arrived today, a boxing week buy. I put it on to check the fit, only to see Lynn the tuxedo cat slowly backing away from me with a worried expression on her face. Resistance is futile, girl! #Caturday

Redoing the wiring harness on an Epiphone Sheraton 2 Pro Guitar. Wouldn't you know, the jack wouldn't come undone, and had to be drilled out. I have the new wiring harness, and it is a thing of beauty.

I take #swimming lessons. I am told that after a certain period of time, you must refer to it as coaching, not lessons!

Happy holidays, fediverse!

I got you a megathrust earthquake, soil liquefaction, spine-tingling papers about the way our networks confound knowledge, and a PDF in a pear tree. It's my wrap on a year of trying to make sense of how we make sense of what's happening to us […]

I should never have opened that capsule from Mars. Some little green man jumped out of it and promptly ate my neighbours Imprezza, then he ate the Pub down the block, and came back and ate all my guitars!

So I'm running along on my Saturday morning VFR run on the Seawall, and this fat little Kinglet flies out of the bush and lands right in front of me and basically strikes a pose. Lets me get really close before before flying off into the bush again. WTF is going on? Further up the seawall, I run […]

There's that thing in #running where yo u tell yourself to slow down, but then you speed back up again. That's why Jeffing (taking walk breaks, for me it's usually 10/1) works so well

I told someone their #xmas sweater was "Really sailing close to the wind" they didn't get it, and I didn't want to explain what tacking was.
