That said off ice was pretty great. As was the skating. Got some great forward spin tips. Now back to Slow Horses.

I can’t wait for this to be over

I was right in the middle of this weeks Slow Horses when I had to leave for off ice. Rude! This is why late evening skating kinda sucks.

Can you please do me a favour🙏 Just click this link & have a quick look at my bird shop: www.carlbovis.com/shop-3 No need to buy anything, but you might see some ideas for Christmas 😉 Sorry for mentioning the 'C' word already, but as a small business, I need to plan ahead.🐦🙏❤️

Epilogue: I didn’t end up bothering to go skating at all. Once I got back home and made a lovely homemade breakfast and got on with my day and weekend chores the moment was lost. Didn’t go running either. All good. A day off is good. Made up for it Sunday w/ a 1hr skate + 2hr walk + 5K run 😆

Even so, I was still considering it. Because I‘m ridiculous. But before deciding to continue my quest or not, I pulled over to check my phone to see if Sackville or East Hants had skates later in the day. Yup. While I was at it I checked Zatzman too. THE SKATE I WAS TRYING TO GET TO WAS CANCELLED 😂

The third red light was North & Gottingen and when I got to the bridge it was closed! At that point I had 5 min left to pick up a sandwich at Bagel Montreal Style, get to the rink, and lace up. And now I’d have to backtrack and take the new bridge. I’d get maybe half the skate in at best.

David Lewis @uniondesign.bsky.social · 17h

My attempt to go to a Zatzman noon skate on Saturday was a farce. I slept very late due to issues beyond my control the night before. So I left late and hadn’t even had breakfast. Then there was so much traffic I got sidetracked off my normal route with only 1 traffic light and caught 3 red lights.

David Lewis @uniondesign.bsky.social · 18h

Ah yes don’t know how I missed that. It was late.

Start with an easy one like physics.

David Lewis @uniondesign.bsky.social · 18h

Sounds like a plan. Except of course they won’t do shit.

Actually this prompted me to do a search and her lawyers just released a statement that she is now conscious and speaking.

I meant the end of the first week in October

I get noise warning when I unload the dishwasher 😁 But ya I use that complication all my watch faces. Pretty infuriating. It was happening for a YEAR before I figured out what triggered it. Even had the watch replaced at one point (before I figured it out). Then 2 years for Apple to fix it.

David Lewis @uniondesign.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Sorry the wording of my post was fucked up. I meant the end of the first week in October. Here’s the historical data of when Fall vaccine bookings opened in Nova Scotia in previous years. 2022: September 2023: Friday October 6 2024: Thursday October 10 2025: Friday October 9

I’ve been running with my Apple Watch for YEARS and have never manually done a calibration 😬

000

David Lewis @uniondesign.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Noise complication bug was an edge case. But 100% reproducible. With a large noise complication on a watch face, if you took a call on the watch and used the keypad during the call (“Press 1 for English”) the noise complication died and only a reboot would restore it! Step bug is likely widespread.

David Lewis @uniondesign.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

The last 3 years booking opened on the Thursday or Friday of the first week of October. So that tracks.

020

David Lewis @uniondesign.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

TIL you can manually calibrate the watch by taking your phone w/ you w/ Motion Calibration & Distance enabled. Doesn’t have to be a known distance, just 20 min. And you should do it for all paces (walk, slow run, tempo run, etc). Gonna try it. My last 5K seemed to require a few 100 more M than usual

110

David Lewis @uniondesign.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

We always are. But if this year follows the same pattern as the part three years I suspect it will open up on Thursday or Friday.

020

David Lewis @uniondesign.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Wild. Ya I was wondering if it just seemed obviously off intuitively or if you’d tested same route vs. same route. Hopefully they get enough reports to escalate it. Sounds like they will. I reported a very specific bug w/ the noise complication and it took 2 years for them to fix it.

David Lewis @uniondesign.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Curious what you’d see if you compared a walk exercise vs. walking the exact same route without starting an exercise.

100

David Lewis @uniondesign.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Usually opens end of the last week in October here so I’m hoping that pattern holds.

Just voluntarily put on long pants (not for Skating or Search & Rescue) for the first time since Spring. Still wearing my Keens to Dollorama tho'. The Keens stay until I feel the snow between my toes.

Trying to decide what to watch and it’s a battle between another episode of Baumgartner Restoration and returning to The Expanse which I haven‘t watched since mid-August (halfway through S2)

David Lewis @uniondesign.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Nova Scotia still hasn’t opened bookings 😐

I discovered the best show ever made (Baumgartner Restoration on Tubi) and two days later a second season was added! 🥳

There’s no prognosis yet but one of her lawyers has said she may never fully recover.

David Lewis @uniondesign.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Looking at the original thread, I’m seeing some Westworld nominations. Agreed. I’d add Handmaids Tale.

David Lewis @uniondesign.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Omg is got so incredibly bad. And somehow the spinoffs were even worse.

110

David Lewis @uniondesign.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I don’t see the comparison. At all. Nit even a little. That was going to be a 4-6 lane controlled access highway for cars with grade separations on the waterfront. This is a few blocks for one added surface lane for rapid transit.

David Lewis @uniondesign.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I've decided I need a day off from all activity… no skating, running, walking, yoga, dry land… nada. It's a free night so it's hard to imagine just doing nothing. But I think I need it.

020

David Lewis @uniondesign.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

We'd ride laying down in the back playing games

David Lewis @uniondesign.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I don’t know anything about fighting but the one punch I saw thrown in this chaos looked pretty hilarious.

David Lewis @uniondesign.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Do the “DON’T PICK WRONG” YouTubers know about return policies?

010

David Lewis @uniondesign.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I don’t have Facebook so I can’t read all the comments but I could see the first two and BOTH were blaming the pedestrians. I guess this is what everyone is always talking about wrt Facebook being horrible.

David Lewis @uniondesign.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

That’s this weekend? LOL 😂 I’d go the following weekend (which would make more sense since I have SMB stroking as well this Sunday) but I have a SAR thing that weekend.

the whole christa pike situation is a pretty stark reminder that a lot of people support human rights conditionally: they support them for people they think are good and deserving, rather than understanding that human rights are supposed to belong to everyone

3 lines sounds like a big improvement over SMB. We only have half the rink and we’re like 30-ish people in one loop. Anyway sounds like it might be fun. Drop in is only $15 so I’m gonna give it a try. Bit of a drive but that’s ok. Thanks.

So I should be there next Sunday on a buy-in! I do stroking at SMB on Sundays but it's pretty early and chaotic (bad coach to student ratio) and I'm only paid till next Sunday (shorter drive tho') Is stroking group led? How long? SMB stroking is 40min then we break into 2 groups for 10min spin/jump

David Lewis @uniondesign.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Pretty low energy skate at lunch. Maybe have overdone it yesterday w/ 1 hour of edge drills (skating) + 2 hours walking in shubie w/ friends + 5K run 😁
