Let's Make Some Art, Dammit

June 1, 2023. This is the Full Cycle in Hintonburg, my first time in this store. It's pretty funky. On my way in to work I dropped off the gravel bike to have the wheels straightened and to install new tires (so far on my new bike I've replaced the seat, the rack, and now the tires - this, though, is part for the course to get it into shape). https://flic.kr/p/2oF2RaL

May 29, 2023. This heavily modified vehicle was spotted in the Metro parking lot here in town today. It has European license plates and is obviously a live-in expedition vehicle used by one of those truck/van adventurers. I tried to find this particular one online, but had no luck. Anyhow, we bought squash and milk at the grocery store. https://flic.kr/p/2oEWeYh

May 28, 2023. We went for an ambling walk along the Mer Bleue trail today. Again, it's good to be out in the sunshine. The water levels are still pretty high, but the forest has come to live and was particularly lust and beautiful today. I've started sleeping on the cot in the basement in a desperate attempt to cool my body down to limit itching. https://flic.kr/p/2oF2bWJ

May 27, 2023. A farm with cows along the road to St. Albert. I spent a lot of the day on the cot but forced myself to get out for a short ride to St. Albert. At 16.9 kph, this is one of the slowest rides I've ever taken on the road bike. It was very good to get out in he sunshine, though. https://flic.kr/p/2oF26ZQ

May 26, 2023. This is Charlemagne having a look outside the window on the shelf where I sit in the kitchen. Another sick day, another day on the cot in the basement. https://flic.kr/p/2oF23WF

May 25, 2023. Hard to be cuter than Julia fast asleep in her furry cave on the shelf right behind where I sit. I took a sick day today; the itch was so bad I couldn't sit, so I lay most of the day on a cot in the cold room in the basement. https://flic.kr/p/2oF224n
