The official photos from the Maryhill G-Ride I posted about a few weeks ago were just dropped, and they got a few of me. more: https://www.facebook.com/pg/maryhillsratz/photos/?tab=album&album_id=2600681453489793

My dad's friend dumped a bunch of old CDs on him, which he in turn dumped on me... the Pogues' album was the big win as well as Neil Young's Harvest. Also included were The Who's The Kids Are Alright, Simon and Garfunkel, The Best of James Taylor, the soundtrack from Pump Up the Volume, and Bryan Adams' mediocre Into the Fire. All in all, a decent assortment of old rock – you win some, you lose some. I don't turn down free CDs unless I have them already. I was also listening to old cassettes on the weekend. Lenny Kravitz's Are You Gonna Go My Way held up surprisingly well and Guns N' Roses' "The Spaghetti Incident?" is still a decent covers album.

Nice! I had some awesome poutine with duck confit on top yesterday at Duckfat. Great duck fat frites and brisket panini too.

We're getting very close - the power switch is on the front and a DACT is optional. Champagne will be a color option. This prototype has a blue bead blasted panel (compared to our usual polished blue).

What to do with leftover poutine, you ask? Breakfast scramble.

A new DynaloMini for a friend:

I have a couple Meze Neo 11 that have damaged packaging if you'd like to try one

Radiohead met at Abingdon School (what in the UK is called a Public School, and in the US a Private School). Which is three miles from where I type. Originally Cockney rhyming slang for strumpet (ie prostitute). But fortunately losing the original definition and incorporated into "nice bit of crumpet" it means a sexually desirable woman. Which I think we can all agree with. I'll shut up now...

One of my best friends moved from England back in ~1977 or 78. One of HIS friends (Paul) visited some time in the mid-80's and we showed him a bit of our hometown. Paul looks across the street at a lovely woman, and chimes in with "Oi, there's a noice bi' a crumpet....!" Biscuits, crumpets....it's all delicious! And yes, I'll third the "stunning" vote.

A female friend of mine used to use the team and then do a meow thing but that's another story... HS

Having non HC friends over and coincidentally England advancing to the Semi Finals, so ...

Not quite that hot here, but probably a bit more humid. Getting ready to go kayaking tomorrow:

Switched back to the road today.

Skated Maryhill this weekend at the summer RVOD G-Ride. Only skated the first day due to injuries, but still had a pretty good time. Here is my favorite run: And here is the run that Brent was probably eating a biscuit during, advanced to the relevant portion:

Everyone who did not order TKD is weighed.... dronevil takes the winners spot with the heaviest ever package i've done 4 lbs. !!! PM's are being sent for addresses

Moving day! New furnitature looks amazing in the new place. Hat tip to @Hopstretch who sold me his family’s old dining room set. My old apartment was too small for a dining room table so I’ve been eating meals at home on the couch or at my desk for years. Now I get to eat at a table like an adult. Feels good, man!
