May 10, 2026. Egret. We went for our hike along Black Rapids Creek in the Greenbelt just west of the Rideau River in Ottawa. I expected a lot of flowers, but instead we were treated to numerous wading birds, including this Egret. Weather was cool, grey, and sometimes rainy. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/ILvmJwF

May 9, 2026. Seeding. Out for a longer ride on the gravel bike today. A little cool and windy, but still a beautiful day, and the farmers were all out sowing seeds or fertilizer. More progress on CList today - probably nobody will ever use it but I'm still engaged, because I want to show what we can have if we want it. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/CvJG8gM

May 8, 2026. Ottawa Titans. We went to the home opener today - we had to arrive early to get the free jerseys and then we settled on to enjoy a ball game in a sold-out ballpark (something that hasn't happened in Ottawa for a long time). #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/kdLgKDG

May 6, 2026. Cart Corral. Seen at the Metro here in Casselman as we picked up stuff to make curry. Other than this brief trip, it was another indoor day working on CList. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/LgN6YdV

March 5, 2026. Chinese food. Andrea and I had dinner with Bernine and Debby at the Embrun Asian Express this evening (the blurred people in the photo are strangers, not us). It doesn't look to busy but it picked up, and they did a constant delivery business as well. Good food. Otherwise, it was a quiet day working indoors, while cool and very windy outside. #SDDaily.

May 4, 2026. Geese. A lot warmer today and though windy still a good day for a bike ride. Spotted these geese along the Nation river. Other than that, a quiet day spent tweaking Claude and reading. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/iGwleHQ

May 3, 2026. CHEO 2026. This is me at the start of the ride. Apparently I set a number of personal records for the climbs in the Gatineau hills. It felt like a lot more work; I thought the road bike would be better on the hills than my touring bike, and it was but it took a lot more out of me. It's not a race, but there is a time limit. Missed the cutoff to ride the full 100km by about 20 minutes. I wasn't dead last this time; there were three people behind me. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/mr5Nfe3
