Golden warbird soars, Severe clear sky washed in blue, Aiming for the mark. #aviation #avgeek
Me (at least the back of my head) flying a de Havilland DHC1 Chipmunk, practicing spot landings. The runway appears blurry in the distance under a sunny and very clear blue sky.

It’s getting into sweater territory in Ontario, but not quite yet. My apartment feels like a fridge though.

It’s definitely on my list. I’ve heard a few people rave about it.

I need to catch up. Murderbot is the only one of those I’ve managed to see.

Yessss! #Caturday
Lola, a medium haired brown cat with green eyes, in her grey knitted sweater, lying on her tummy on a beige carpet. She looks a little less than amused.

There’s basically a 16-20 hour gap between the two!

I was just on a Teams call and my colleague asks what the sound she’s hearing in the background is. It takes me a minute to realize that it’s the cat snoring. Lola was a solid 10 feet away on a lower horizontal plane and my microphone picked her up! Boy, she’s full of sass lately.

I woke up to discover that this post received some attention. While I don’t have a photo of Lola being all Smaug-ish atop glorious kibble, here she is in all her glory on her beloved scratchpad/bed.

Yup! Looks a bit like Lola did.

I spilled half a bag of cat food on the floor. My cat, who hasn’t finished her provided food today, scrambled to consume as many pieces as she could. She then proceeded to sit on the remaining mound on the floor like some sort of cat Smaug.

While operated as a stand alone with Canadian owned franchises, Rona’s parent company is still Sycamore. They still own all of Rona’s assets, including the supply chain.

Visitors to the US are on track to drop by almost two million year-on-year. “We’re the only major country in the world losing visitation,” the head of the US Travel Association said. “It’s mind-boggling.” www.semafor.com/article/09/2...

Actually, it is not. It’s owned by the same American private equity company that owns Staples now.

Sadly, it is not. The same American private equity company that owns Staples, owns Rona now.

We have Rona, which was Lowe’s until about 5 years ago. There is no relationship between the two companies anymore.

Lisa 🇨🇦 @peacewind.aero · 01/10/2026
Unfortunately it is no longer owned at the top level by Canadians. It’s owned by an American private equity company.

Rona is also, very sadly, American at this point. Canadian Tire and Home Hardware are great alternatives to Rona and Home Depot.

It’s actually wild how over night our flag swapped to being a right wing thing and then got reclaimed mere years later in full force.

#Aviation is my religion. Here I am in touch with a higher power known as Lycoming.
Flying in a Piper Arrow over Algonac, Michigan. The Saint Clair River below is deep blue. The town looks bustling from afar. The skiy is clear with a bit of high wispy cirrus clouds. Visibility to the horizon is pretty darn clear. The white wing of the aircraft appears in the bottom right of the picture. We flew over the US, but since our flight was from Canadian airport to Canadian airport, we never actually entered the US.

I’m currently crashing in said airport’s free housing. It’s basic, but who’s gunna complain about free bed!

Katie talks a bit about the Chipmunk trip to Oshkosh in this episode. But also she give some solid general life advice that EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU needs to hear. Go on! Give it a listen!

With the weather cooling down, can we all agree that all things of a holly jolly nature aren’t allowed until AFTER Remembrance Day? Personally I’d asked to wait until December 1, but I know that’s a big ask for some of you.

This is a very good point.

To Ren’s point, batteries could be more likely to catch fire in flight than kerosene. There has been far more research into fuel safety (after disasters like TWA 800) than aviation battery safety. This will be improved over time. Aviation safety is thankfully taken very seriously by those involved.
030
Lisa 🇨🇦 @peacewind.aero · 21/09/2026
It’s extremely rare that aviation accidents result in total loss of life. The vast majority are survivable, even with fire involved. This is due to past accidents where improved safety practices were adopted after an investigation.

The fueling infrastructure for hydrogen would need significant investment as well, while electricity is already abundantly available at basically every airport.

Lisa 🇨🇦 @peacewind.aero · 21/09/2026
Hydrogen powered planes have been tested, but unfortunately they present a significant engineering challenge since the fuel needs to be kept at cold temperatures.

I’ve seen that electric Beaver in person. It’s perhaps one of the most impressive planes I’ve ever clamped eyes on.

The world’s largest battery-electric aircraft flew for the first time on the 12th of August, a 27-minute test flight over upstate New York that cost about five dollars in electricity. Heart Aerospace’s 30-seat prototype is a big step toward a commercial version. buff.ly/i3f0PhR #ShareGoodNewsToo

The largest all-electric plane ever flew for 27 minutes, on $5 of electricity
Heart's X1 demonstrator flew for 27 minutes from a regional airport in upstate New York, running on battery power the entire time. The aircraft reached 1,100 feet...

As someone who has had the opportunity to fly in a small electric plane that can stay airborne for roughly the same period of time, this is insanely impressive! I’m definitely looking forward to more of this!

Also… thanks for the unwelcome reminder that this is in my future.
