One benefit to working a national holiday is I can blast my music in the office and there’s no one around to give a shit. A pretty “classic” rock kinda day.

I’ve been out of the classic car hobby for a number of years, kids are all out of the house now so the time is right to step back in. #Victoria will soon have this little unit cruising around. 1974 #TVR 2500M #sportscar #funfortwo

Hadn’t been out on the #motorcycle in a week so went a quick ride along the #Victoria waterfront for a breath of fresh air.

Nicest day of the year so far in #Victoria if you haven’t been out enjoying it, you should be. Of course weather like this requires #motorcycles and a #beverage with like minded people.

#Indian #motorcycle days out at Island Motorcycle Company so took out an Indian 101 for a test ride, lovely bike but I now know I’m too much of a hoon for curated rides.

Parking lot full of Indian motorcycles with the Indian semi trailer in the back ground.

Another glorious afternoon in #Victoria so of course there has to be a #motorcycle #coffee meet up. Couple of the regulars got new bikes today so lots to talk about, #RoyalEnfield #Classic 650 in teal (very nice looking) and a 2008 #HarleyDavidson #Nightster handed down from Grandma (nice).

Front of frame, Royal Enfield Classic 650 in Teal colour, looks right out of the 50’s

2008 Harley Davidson Nightster handed down from grandma, had been sitting in the garage for 15 yrs so had all its fluids changed and came out for a coffee meetup.

I have left the office for the week (3 day work week) and have left the tech brains of our small operation getting my new computer organized. I could happily go back to a pen & paper for daily work (showing my age) but I know this is for best (long term) even if I don’t like it.

Hockey is unavailable to watch on CBC Gem, have to pay for regular cable or subscribe to SportsNet if you wanna see it live. Guess I’ll be missing the playoffs this year 🤷‍♂️ Sorry Edmonton, Montreal & Ottawa.

I’m being forced to move from my use of Mac at work to PC, and let me tell you, I’m not happy about it.

Someone just pointed out to me that 420 (April 20th) is/was Hitlers birthday. This Monday really has been a Monday 🤷‍♂️

nobodiesgnome.bsky.social @nobodiesgnome.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

Monday is certainly living up to the “Monday” stereotype. On the plus side it is 420 day so my outlook will likely change later 😉

nobodiesgnome.bsky.social @nobodiesgnome.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

I need a new way to approach Mondays as they always seem to be so “Monday”

Beautiful day in #Victoria today so met up with some like minded individuals for a #motorcycle #coffee.

Spent the afternoon at a celebration of life for my favourite brother in law from a previous life. Hadn’t seen most of ex’s family for 20-30 yrs, so glad I went. Some memories are great even if that 1st marriage wasn’t. Life is short, stay connected to those that are positive for you.

Apparently there is enough slushy shit around for a staff member to hit my 2nd storey office window with a messy snowball. (For clarity, this slush came off a car from outside of Vic West, we have no slush on the ground here).
