castironguy In this house we observe #piday

8r4d It was a five hills night out #running up and down and up and down in the sub-zero temps of “who thought hills in March was a good idea?” evening run.

pixelazy This old tree at the dance studio often catches my eye because I usually only see it lit by eerie lights at night when I’m driving taxi for the family dancers.

In case you haven’t already noticed I’ve been trying to post a photo of something here daily this month. This is what happens when I work all day and forget to post until late in the evening.

8r4d Or new rehearsal space for #orchestra is pretty slick , gotta say.

8r4d I’ve been experimenting with #popcorn making, trying to hit the sweet spot of ingredients to replicate that theatre taste. Getting darn close too!

8r4d A #homeowner afternoon as my sleuthing on our creeping decrease in water pressure over the last few months revealed that there was all sorts of plastic particulate in the aerators of our faucets… which quickly googled up as a hot water heater issue. So, I guess we’re due for a new hot water heater, huh?

8r4d The new #yeg #footbridge over whitemud is coming along nicely, maybe even in time for some new summer #running routes..???

8r4d Daylight savings time hits harder when it coincides with an early #running day. We clocked 8k in the cool damp of the icy streets.

8r4d I don’t think I’ve ever walked down this trail with the lights lit before.

They just finished building it in the fall and I can’t say that the dog and I ventured down this new trail as much in the winter as we did in the summer, and what with the coyotes roaming around this part of the world it’s not particularly safe after dark.

I spent the better part of the sunlit hours in front of a Zoom call doing the third day of my fourth class of my business certification work. A walk was in order, but you’d think I’d have a bunch of pent up energy to stroll forever. In reality, I was drained and we just strolled, lit by this nifty lamps which should make it safer—but then coyotes don’t care about a bit of light do they?

adventuredog Just a wagging tail and a wagging tongue, too.

8r4d I am a bit of a sucker for convenience in location, so the fact that nearly half my #coffee adventures end up at one of the four starbucks within spitting distance of my house is a sad little surprise. I try to support local, but I spend almost as much on gas as I do on coffee, then, and oil money to me seems dirtier than coffee coin.

That’s my little political rant for the day.

Aside from that, I had accumulated enough points-stars or whatever and cashed it in today for a branded ceramic mug. So, at least if I’m not being consumer conscious, there is a chance I’m queuing up for the environment, huh?
