8r4dsfeets I don’t always wear spikes when #running but when I do …it’s freakin icy is why!

8r4d Slick tails on an icy January #running adventure. We had our spikes but it was almost too much for even that.

8r4d Another new year same back at #orchestra again for the second half of our season. No more easy Christmas music, either! [read more...]

8r4d Technically not my first run of the year but definitely the first time i’ve been #running outside in 2026. Between the deep cold and the icy sidewalks we’ve stuck to the track for the last couple weeks. But 9k on the snowy paths was a great and welcome change of pace.

8r4d The crew had a little #winter potluck and then went outside to play in the snow.

8r4d Lester and I checked out the trails as the temperatures cracked zero again just before new years. #snowshoeing

This deer was having a bad day.

8r4dsfeets Oh deer… #snowshoeing

squwetchy I haven’t had much inspiration for painting this season but when it strikes I can do a little something with it… [read more...]

8r4d The #winter has one hundred percent arrived and this morning’s #running view was from the indoor track as the icy #sunrise peaked across the snow. [read more...]

8r4d Oh so did I mention that #winter #running season was waiting for me when I got back to Canada. It wasn’t my first time out but Sunday’s run was -16C plus a chill, so we logged… trudged… six klicks thru the snow and called it a cold success.

8r4d Well Plan A got a little sidetracked and we got to the train station and the tickets to the airport were sold out until about 615pm departures. Or flight leaves at 625pm. Um.

Plan B involved hiking all the way across Tokyo Station and catching the bus. So there were went.

Long story short, we arrived at Narita in less style than we left it, even passing in visible range of our Disneyland hotel which we’d left just three hours previous. We checked in, ate some more conveyor belt #sushi and then proceeded thru security and exit immigration.

In a couple hours, fingers crossed for no delays, we’ll be in the air and en route … and it’s sayonara #japan [read more...]

8r4d We stayed for about nine hours and bailed a bit early. Regrettably Karin has picked up a bit of a cold on our last couple days so she trooped thru most of the day but started to fade when the rain arrived and the wind came off the ocean bay and cooled us down. [read more...]

castironguy Tokyo #disney in #japan is famous for its #popcorn varieties. I tried to count today and I think I found eight different flavours.

We tried curry, butter & soy sauce, and chinese chili flavours.

I would have them all again, but my fave was the chili.

We skipped the caramel, white chocolate, salt and (held our nose at) beef flavours. Some regrettable… others not so much. [read more...]
