I'm mostly there for the cat memes.

I suspect there is shock and dismay in the UCP crowd at how far Forever Canadian crowd blew past the finish line. BTW, it's lovely to be able to follow you again. I fled Twitter the day after Herr Musk bought it and I missed your posts.

Who can afford candy this year? Not me. Hot, fresh, and cheap-to-make #funnelcakes being served from my front door this #allhallowseve. #halloween #trickortreat.

Plenty of Albertans seem to be quite okay with this. Reading lots of attacks on teachers on Facebook today (the teacher in our home being my poor wife). I wish the Alberta govt luck finding 3,000 new teachers after this stunt. There are probably 10,000 looking at teaching elsewhere or quitting now.

Ectoplasmic oatmeal everywhere.

I'm not elite. I am stubborn, though.

Anyone who has competed with me for a position I have really wanted knows I'm not helpless, but they might have felt that way after.

That moment when ASD1 is actually useful.

I made it as far as the front flower bed on my lunch break today. So much for the 6,000 steps I had planned.

I got the morning off work with pay, so that was nice.

It’s Different This Time The farm feels different with John's passing.

Saying goodbye to my father-in-law this past September. This one was really hard to write. :(

Played with some old lenses today. My swirly Helios 44m-2 58mm f2.0 lens with a reversed front element and my Pentacon Electric, Red, 50mm f1.8. These were riding my Canon EOS R5 via a Neewer M42 to RF adapter. #photography #vintagelens

From a day trip to Reesor Lake at Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park, in AB, Canada on October 4th, 2025. #travelalberta #photography

Travers Dam Provincial Park, Alberta, Canada, this past weekend. Stormy and windy, so not much paddling. #photography #rainbow #doublerainbow #paddleboard #lake #travelalberta #alberta #albertacanada

Paddle boarding with friends at Lee Lake, in the MD of Pincher Creek, Alberta. The water is like glass in the AM and then the wind comes up before lunch.

I did some experimenting with my IR converted Canon EOS 7D and the colorize neural filter in Photoshop. Mixed results with both. I have discovered a wicked backfocus issue that is my first problem tomorrow.

There's no point in going for a physical. I have a litany of health conditions that preclude me from ever operating an aircraft. Passing knowledge-based tests I can do.

Physicals?

Passing exams is easy as long as it's not a physical. :(

People with my heart condition aren't allowed to pilot aircraft. I'm lucky I'm allowed to drive a car.

Stunning as usual. 😍

This is a good replacement for my morning cof-fay!
