It’s a pretty crude setup but it gets me 90% there. It’s not accurate or efficient; mainly, I just love doing it.

There’s something incredibly satisfying about building a wheel up from scratch. Besides listening to favourites tunes and drinking some wine during the three hours it took me to complete lacing it up, it’s an almost therapeutic exercise. As an inexperienced hack, it’s hardly as time efficient or precise as it should be, but maybe that’s…

I’ve been busy getting my two-wheeler fixed up and my “engine” ready for the big ride on Sunday! I am humbled by all the incredibly generous support I’ve had so far in fundraising to support the CMHA Simcoe County’s https://starttalking.ca/events/youth-shine-campaign/ initiative to improve resources for the Youth Mental Health Centre! I would greatly appreciate your…

Mikayla’s face here perfectly expresses how I feel when I get on a bike. #feelgood Leah, make sure she keeps riding (it’s the secret to happiness)

humansofnewyork: “It all began when my Grandpa Moe made a wrong turn. He was 93 years old, but he was still driving to and from his butcher shop. And one night he missed his turn in the dark. That’s when I offered to start driving him home. But I think he misunderstood me. Because the…

wonders-of-the-cosmos: Saturn and two of its moons, Tethys (above) and Dione, were photographed by Voyager 1 on November 3, 1980, from 13 million kilometers. The shadows of Saturn’s three bright rings and Tethys are cast onto the cloud tops. The limb of the planet can be seen easily through the 3,500-kilometer-wide Cassini Division, which separates…

They often follow solar flares and are normally present during a solar prominence eruption. The plasma is released into the solar wind, and can be observed in coronagraph imagery. Coronal mass ejections are…

Pandemic Pondering ~ It’s interesting how this pandemic and related restrictions are wearing on me. It may, in part, be my age, too. I think I have less energy now. To work all day and still have something left over to focus on reading in the evening doesn’t happen very often, for me. My brain…

wonders-of-the-cosmos: Bioluminescent Plankton Scientists have only recently discovered that this type of plankton glows when they are moved because of stress – ironic when you consider how relaxing the sight of the shimmering waves are in the dark night. Bioluminescence is used as a defence mechanism to draw predators towards the creature trying to eat…

The Spring heat is elusive however the Sunny, longer days are an undeniable sign of Spring this weekend. Despite the biting North wind, we got out on a few walks and even a bike ride before the Sun set on Saturday. The clocks arbitrarily jumping forward this morning will mess with my Circadian rhythm for…

Re-tired ~ New rubber on the old Marinoni. I figure as long as you can see those little rubber bits sticking up from the tread, it’s a new tire. When they’re gone, it’s just a tire. When you see threads, it’s an old tire. Then it’s time to re-tire.

Some random February Fotos ~ Doing whatever it takes to get through these last few weeks of the deep Winter weather. I rode my bike today for the first time this month, so Spring must be close, right?

Kempenfelt Klassic Kruise ~ Busted out my XC skis to catch the Sunrise on the Bay. I wasn’t the only one out there. Tons of people fishing but still remarkably still! Almost zero wind and no snowmobiles running for the first hour after Sunrise. Simply spectacular skiing. I was surprised by how many large wet…

“The future is unwritten.” ~ Joe Strummer A statement so simple, it almost seems ridiculous. However, it reflects pragmatism, forward-thinking, a little stoicism and most importantly, *hope*. All this from the disillusioned punk who sang, “Cold water in the face; Brings you back to this awful place” Write yourself a wonderful 2021.
