Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Album of the night: Mother’s Milk by Red Hot Chili Peppers. They had some minor success before, but here’s where the engine ignited. There’s more successful songs on the album but Taste of Pain is my favourite. 000
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 12/10/2026“The Riveters Art” is a fantastic name for a cyberpunk bar. 270
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Album of the night: The Lion and the Cobra by Sinéad O’Connor. What a voice. I don’t think it’s possible to play “Troy” too loud. If you’ve never listened to this album, drop what you’re doing and go do it. 000
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Sad news in the Payne household. We are going to have to euthanize Jayne soon. She has developed an issue in one of her legs. Heartbroken isn’t even the word for how we feel. Having her has been one of the absolute highlights and delights of my life. 330
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Criminals hating on courts.static.klipy.comStar Trek Spock: Logical!ALT: Star Trek Spock: Logical! 010
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Yeah, bagpipers aren’t in my top 100 things I think of for NFLD. 000
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 10/10/2026That must have gone straight down Route 2. We could see it to the west of us - lightning flashes and such - but all we had was a brief hard rain shower. 010
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Mistakes are like bedbugs - there’s never just one. 020
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 08/10/2026When will the prop bets on the prediction markets be available? /s 000
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Album of the night: Heligoland by Massive Attack. It’s pouring rain outside and that is the perfect atmosphere for this album. Great vibe. Would function well as a score for a moody movie. 000
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 08/10/2026No spoilers please. Picking up my copy today and I likely won’t get a chance to start for a week or so. Darned real life getting in my way! LOL 110
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Before (looking south along the trail) and after (looking north). I lucked out that there weren’t any big trees to remove but I do have some work left to do to raise the ground level a bit. Kinda mucky in a couple spots. 000
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 07/10/2026All the same, compared to being a fisherman in Newfoundland at the time, it may have been a lateral move. (Bullets, shrapnel, and artillery bombardments aside..) 120
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I dunno. He died before I was born, but mom told me he complained about the trenches being a wee damp. 130
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 07/10/2026My maternal grandfather was WWI infantry in France. I’m starting to wonder about his working conditions. 110
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 06/10/2026@downgoesbrown.bsky.social , @mirtle.bsky.social , @marklazerus.bsky.social , @jkamckenzie.bsky.social Gents - just renewed my subscription to The Athletic. Thanks for all you do. I’d pay the fee for DGB alone - the rest of you are bonus features. Kidding! But thanks. I appreciate your work. 220
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 06/10/2026O’Connor Glass? It’s a bit out of left field, but worth a shot. They custom built a glass desk top protector a while back. 010
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Right next to the downed tree I mentioned earlier is this beauty. You can see the skeleton just below the greenery. This, my friends, is an apple tree. If there’s anything more delightful than picking a fresh apple on a quiet chilly Sunday morning, I’ve yet to find it. Chilled, crisp & tart. 000
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 04/10/2026The last tree across the main trail. Since it’s Sunday morning, I’m using hand tools. And, despite my long standing motto of “Safety Third”, I am wearing safety glasses. 010
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Hopefully, when I’m done, I’ll have a bit more than 2km of hiking trails. Excellent for snowshoeing in the winter. 020
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Today’s office. First pass on reviving an old trail. Removing downed trees & branches so I can get my various blades in here for grooming. Can’t beat it for physical activity. Ten minute walk to get here warms me up, then bending, twisting, lifting & such. 120
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Just got back from a walk on our woodlot trails. The dew is something else. 020
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 02/10/2026There is a decent chance they start the season 1 and 6. Look at their next five games. Maybe they beat STL? What’s the first domino to fall? 000
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I have to think at least one of the people in this contest sees themselves and who they’re matched against and says “Even my mom wouldn’t vote for me.” 020
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Album of the night: The Score by Fugees. Very fun album. I missed the whole Fugees experience when it rolled over music back in the day. Great album. “Killing me softly” is a fantastic song. 020
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I don’t normally condone throwing one’s loved ones off a wharf. But, I will make exceptions. 120
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Marchenko did have 67 points last year. Twas fate, no? And Merzlikins played 1679 minutes last year. If that ain’t an anagram for… well, you know…. 112
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Album of the night: Cleopatra by The Lumineers I’ve been outside building and grooming a trail in my woodlot all day, and this album exactly fits my mood this evening. 000
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Setting: a bar in Ireland Characters: an Irishman and a Newfoundlander of Irish extraction Twas comedy gold. Dave had to stop tattooing as we were both laughing too hard. 110
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 27/09/2026My tattooist (tattooer?) has a great moose/mouse bit. 110
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Speaking of trails, my next project is to turn this into that. 010
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Always something interesting and new in the trails. This is equal parts beautiful and ewww. Don’t think I’ve ever seen one before. Love the latticework. #mushroom 030
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 26/09/2026My favorite time of year. No mosquitoes in the morning so it’s back into the trails again. 010
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Knuble, Luchanko, Bonk, and Gaucher. Bullies-at-law. These guys have to make the team. It’s the most 70s sounding group of names they have. 000
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I’ve been a Poscast listener since Old Hoss Radbourn’s second year in the league. One thing I’ve noticed, Joe, is how often certain words and phrases come up. In my opinion, your tombstone (hopefully wayyy down the road) must read: “This is absurd.” 000
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 25/09/2026This is in the running for dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. I’ve been in the workforce since the mid-80s. I’ve seen and heard a lot. This is going to be memorable for the wrong reasons. 000
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Yeah. Something killed one in the yard this week. 110
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Something the GFL garbage collector didn’t say when he opened our green bin yesterday. 😁 120
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I did that a couple summers ago with an old double bladed axe. It turned out quite nice. Very satisfying rainy day project. 120
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I watched a bunch of videos of guys cleaning out engine bays. Needless to say, you could now eat off my engine block. 121
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 25/09/2026A local newspaper once miscaptioned a photo of a blueberry farmer to read “a blubbery farmer”. To be fair, it was not inaccurate. 050
Rodney Payne @rodneypayne.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I listened to the self titled album right after I made that post. Hopefully I’ll get to the other albums in the next day or two. 010
