The husband and I were forced onto a roadway this am to go around a large hydro vac truck blocking our way…
Me: sheesh, maybe we shouldn’t have walked through his construction zone..

Mr Uptown: maybe he shouldn’t be constructing in our walking zone.

I’d also like to mention that @drdagly.bsky.social would be so chuffed with me that I’m out on an analog studded fat-tire in the winter.
It’s the most fun I’ve had doing 9km/hr.
Thanks Dr M, I miss our talks.

I popped into Superstore on the way home from an appointment in the west end yesterday... I picked up 3 items & emerged to a whiteout.

I popped into store for all of 10 min yesterday on my way home & emerged in a white out. Thankfully I was close to home.

Very icy on MUP as I made my way to @coffeeoutside.bsky.social this morning. Temps in the -20c range without windchill factored in! My perseverance was rewarded.

Dear Winnipeg:

If you’re enjoying the snow squalls we sent you during the night, I thought you ought to know we’re sending some crisp temps tomorrow.

Steam the whole shitteroo.
Cool it off, squeeze out juice & freeze it in mini muffin pans (or stick it in a ziplock, flatten it & freeze it.) You can β€œsnap” pieces off if you use the latter method.
