TFW your selfie has a shadow of your phone covering one of our faces. #SelfieFail 😂

This is a first. The Windows wallpaper of the day picture is from #HamOnt. A Northern saw-whet owl. What a beautiful little owl too! I love most of these daily pics but have never seen one so close to where I live.
Northern saw-whet owl perched on a moss-covered rock, staring straight at you. Brilliant black eyes rimmed with yellow, a face mostly white fur with shades of brown and wings brown with tinges of white.

Post a picture of yourself from the past that puts you in a light people on here wouldn't expect. Me as Mayor McCheese. Nearly 40 years ago. 😂

I thought "let's try that code on the PDF from yesterday". This morning's passcode worked on yesterday's file. FFS. They used the first 5 characters of my postal code after telling it would be 19025. This is the address on the file I received. Why is this so hard? 10/10
Name and address blurred out. City and Province are listed "Waterdown On". Country is listed "Canada", and then a US State and zip code are listed "NC 19025".

I’ve been having fun the last couple of days playing with the #BookSearch plugin for #Obsidian and getting some of my reading catalogued. Currently reading, on hold at the library, future reads and reading history since Jan 2025 in there already. Fun stuff, and so easy!

A morning laugh at my own expense. I enabled an integration, but I was in a rush so I quickly slapped in two default notifications for myself, for now, to monitor it via email until I had more time. I kept getting "integration failed" emails. Gee, I wonder what I did wrong. DOH #Dumbass
A screenshot of places where tasks can be set on an integration tool (SmartConnect). There are 2 tasks created, one under "tasks that run if the integration fails" and one under "tasks that run if the integration succeeds". The task under the "if it fails" is called "SEND_EMAIL_SUCCESS" and the task under "if it succeeds" is "SEND_EMAIL_FAILURE". I mistakenly put the wrong task on the triggers reversing them for their intended purpose.

First time using my water rower in 5 or 6 years. I figured it’s time to dust it off, or time to sell it, so I’m giving it one more shot before making that decision. I might be a little stiff and sore tomorrow! One hour, 10km.

I asked my partner, on her way to the grocery store, to add mayonnaise to the shopping list. She asked for a picture. Naturally, I sent this with some slight sarcasm as a response. #SmartAss

I was number 1 on the money list on my indoor golf league for Fall 2025. Woot!
The "money list" of winnings for players in my indoor golf league with my name on top. Columns are Loss Gross, Low Net, Skins, and Total winnings. My winnings are $161.75 total, next best was $128.50, then $115.00 etc. on down to $53 in the screenshot.

I really enjoy the "Picture of the day" wallpaper feature in Windows, but honestly, sometimes I look up, unsuspecting, and a giant face stares back at me, and I jump a little from surprise. I have an ultrawide monitor, so it really is larger than life at times!

It’s that time of year. Every time I see this, I think it must have scared the crap out of people in 1951. The music is haunting.

Well, this little $5 tree cleaned up pretty nicely I must say! #GoodDeal

Today we found two unopened cans of cocoa, both best before 2021, and a can of cocoa sooooo old that it didn’t have best before dates on it. I purchased the latter one from Mr. Grocer (which hasn’t existed since the 90’s) for $2.99! 😂🤦‍♀️ Memories of #KWAwesome #WRAwesome

We ran into a weird thing with a jigsaw puzzle. The tops of the pieces are separating from the bottoms. 1000 pc puzzle, so far about 30 pieces in the box have fallen apart. So odd. We’ve done this puzzle a few times but it seems like this will be the last!

Someone got a little “road rage”-y today calling me 6 times in 2 minutes from 6 numbers when I refused to spend my time on an unsolicited phone call with them. I reported all of these numbers to their phone provider, it is a violation of their terms of service. Bummer.

It’s high noon and there’s a heat warning. A perfect time for a bike ride, right? The action shot when I thought it would be fine in the shade, and the after shot realizing I’m woefully out of shape and most of the ride was not in the shade. Doh #Cycling

A cup of sunshine in the sunshine while the rest of me is in the shade. It’s already 29C out and feels like 41C. I won’t be outside very long in this heat. #SilentSunday #Photography
A yellow camp-style mug with “a cup of sunshine” stencilled on it held in my left hand and resting on the arm of my chair in a ray of sun. In the blurred background are chairs stacked up and a bbq covered up on the brown wooden deck. I’m in the shade and there is blue sky visible in the distance.

I’m thankful it is a nice day out so I can sit outside instead of fouling the air indoors all day. #COVIDSucks
A grey blanket in the foreground is covering my legs stretched out in front of me, in the mostly shaded side at the moment. I’m sitting on a backyard deck, pressure treated wooden planks on the deck surface, a red brick wall to my left, a sliding door framed in white vinyl in the distance. To my right is a wooden railing with black metal pickets, and the stairs down to the ground floor are visible through the pickets. There is a tiny sliver of visible clear blue sky above the fence railings and walls.

Did you know Monkeys use tools for various purposes? That's quite the comprehensive list. #Excel @excelguru.ca ... 🤣
A Microsoft Bing search result for the term "monkey tools". The result is a pic of a capuchin monkey wiht a hammer in its hand and the bullet points as follows:
- Capuchin monkeys use sticks to probe for insects or dig up tubers.
- They use leaves to fan themselves or create containers for water.
- Rocks are used to crack open nuts or fend off predators
- Monkey Tools is an Excel add-in that provides tools for building models, following recommended practices, documenting work, and auditing files (with a link to excelguru.ca).
