The city must have got a discount on signage for their little roundabout project at AHD, PCR, Majors Path. The third pic is a bit disturbing - single file bikes and cars... for a footpath.

In case you've been dying to try it because you love Cadbury chocolate and Biscoff cookies, but haven't been able to get your hands on a bar its... meh.

Canada Post should change occupation. How fricking bad are they at delivering stuff? On the wrong delivery truck two days in a row. Wouldn't mind if it were an isolated incident. Seems like every other thing they deliver is royally messed up.

Had a muskrat fall into our basement window well today. Made a ramp so that it could get out. Hoping it found the courage to climb out by the morning. I feel I need to make a joke about Muskrat Falls, but nothing is coming up.

My favourite #tongueouttuesday shot of Jilly. Just about sums up her interest in studio photography.

Jilly does the downward dog with her tongue stuck out, staring straight at the camera. Background is a studio backdrop, and there is studio lighting off to the side. It's not a great shot except that it shows her sass and defiance.

I haven't posted any Jilly pics in a few days, so just to clarify - she's doing awesome. Pretty much 100%. I'll probably post another TOT (Tongue Out Tuesday) tomorrow, and then that'll be it for a while.

Jilly lies regally in her favourite window, on her favourite ottoman, with Weasel (a stuff-less toy). Photo from 10 or so years ago.

Looking for people working at MUN going home in the airport heights area to meet at the Health Science helipad and chip in on the next available helicopter to YYT. It's probably the only way we're getting home before midnight.

I was gifted this beautiful piece of Padauk, so I made a thing with it. The grain and colour is wonderful, and the shavings look like bacon bits! Still a bit of sanding to do, then figure out what to use to protect it.

A small bowl made out of Padauk, which is a beautiful red coloured wood. The natural finish is satin-like, and very smooth.

Almost ready to call it... I don't think Jilly has a brain tumour. She's doing absolutely fantastic. She's been off the steroids for 11 days now. She has all her energy back, almost no head tilt and no stumbling whatsoever. She's up and down the stairs no problem and has a big interest in life.

Jilly with Blue (blue, long stuffy - no idea what kind animal blue is) in her mouth looking out the window through the blind. This would be from about 11 years ago I think.

Might be hard to see here, but Jill is fascinated with a crane that landed on her paw. She was going to choose violence, but I told her to be gentle and she was. She never harmed it, just watched for a little while before it wandered off.

Jill is in downward dog position in the garden, seemingly sniffing a crane fly that had landed on her paw.

She loves to make faces at people walking by the house... then she barks at them for about 20 minutes, even if they're long gone.

Jill lies with her chin on the window sill, staring out, with a facial expression that... I'm sorry, I can't even describe it.

So much Arrooo that she can't even keep her feet on the ground.

Jilly howling, with her nose straight up, and her feet probably 4 inches or so off the ground. This is a full Arrrroooo moment.

Jilly has been off the steroids for about 36 hours and has returned to her old self. Hoping we can keep her off them, because that was no quality of life for my poor little girly. I'll take a month of her like this over six months of her as she was on the steroids.

Jill isn't responding well to steroids, so I called the vet this morning. Big old misunderstanding on the call back when they suggested I take her in to be euthanized. Not what I was asking an opinion on at all. I just wanted to know how to get her off the steroids to see how she'd do without...

Even though she's not a fan of having her picture taken, Jilly Beans has provided me with some gems...

Jilly the beagle looking down from a chair. The photo is taken through the back of a black dining room chair which frames her in beautiful dramatic light. It's a side on view, and I don't even recall what she was looking at... certainly not the camera. Shows all her colours beautifully.

I know its terrible quality (this is what cellphones used to be like, LOL). She has a number of really sweet moments from her time with us, and this is one of them. Looking out the window in her favourite place, hugging Mr Lion.

You'd think they were best buddies from this pic, but I think the actual story is a bit different. I'll leave it vague. She's a beautiful soul, and you don't need to know about her dark early years. Pressing into Jack was her comfort. Jack didn't care.

"New Hire" Jilly the Beagle cuddles into the old guy (Jack the beagle), in a shared chair with a polkadot blanket underneath them. They're both asleep.

Doggo was back to the vet today. Not good news. At this point its almost certainly a brain lesion. Steroids to hopefully give her quality of life for a bit longer. Although she has been sick for a month or so, I wasn't expecting this. Gonna be lots of Jilly pics for a while. Starting with my fave.

Jilly the beagle chomping on an antler when she was young. She has a red Christmas bandana on, her head is cocked to the side and her ear is flopping down like its propping up her whole head. Photo is from 11 years ago. She would have been about 2.5 years old.

I have a t-shirt that has a positive vibe that includes the word TEAM. During a conversation with my assoc. dir. on Friday, I determined from that point, I was wearing the t-shirt ironically, and in fact later decided I couldn't even do that, and changed while I was home for lunch. I work with 24...

After several nights of stake-outs and investigative work, I finally found and eradicated a wasps nest under my front step. I went in to tell my wife that I am the wasp whisperer, but in my excitement, it came out as wasperer, and I'm keeping it.

Just biked home (yeah only the second time ever… you didn’t miss my multitude of biking home posts). It’s 22C out, feels like 75C. Took me 5 or so minutes more than the first time. No shade meant even traffic light stops were brutal.

My doggie had a vestibular attack over night. Would have been out of my mind with worry if I hadn't gone through it with my previous dog. Going to be a lot of extra care and attention for her in the next little while as she recovers over the coming weeks. Vet appt this afternoon. ❤️

Quote of the day by former Apple design chief Jony Ive: "When something exceeds your ability to understand how it works it sort of becomes magical". Yes Jony, that's why you named it Magic Mouse. Because you didn't understand that putting the charge port on the bottom was a monumentally stupid idea.

In years to come archaeologists will dig up my wood work and exclaim “what the f*** is that?”.

Considering a new car, but today mine reached a measley 40,000km. It's coming up 8 yrs old. It has some rust and the drivers door lock button doesn't work. Otherwise, running great. Only real reasons to replace would be to go back to AWD and run out of car payments before I retire in 5 or 6yrs.

photo shows my cars odometer at exactly 40,000km. Oh, and it's 5 degrees C.

This tamping station has been a labour of love in both design and build. It has been hit with multiple problems and required re-engineering in order to make the top bit without destroying it during machining. I've made a couple more tweaks since this one, and will mill the final piece this week.

In progress build of my walnut tamping station... one or two tweaks needed for the top, which is shown here in pine, before machining the final version in walnut.

Top down view of the tamping station with the last version prototype of the top in pine. Next version (hopefully the last) will be in walnut to match the base.
