Let's Make Some Art, Dammit

July 29, 2020. I was into the dentist today to have a broken filling repaired - easily the riskiest thing I've done since mid-March - and had the chance to watch this 3D printer build a crown on site. This is quite a development. Previously we would send these out, and they would take time and cost a lot of money, but now they're printed on site in our little rural village. Afternoon was spent creating my slides for tomorrow's webinar. https://flic.kr/p/2jravqy

July 28, 2020. Got a bunch of newsletter posts done and then headed for a 65 km ride to Moose Creek and Avonmore. This was early in the ride - I actually saw that big part on the front being transported in on a trailer. It has just been attached and they were testing it out. Looks like they have a few hundred acres to do. https://flic.kr/p/2jqTrJo

July 26, 2020. Visited family today and got them up and running on Zoom. Then extended the bike ride for a total of 58K in the 35 degree C heat (but it was great because it was cloudy, so while it felt really hot, I wasn't being baked by the Sun). This smiling Sun was found on the Embrun-Russell bike trail, right where it bends at the traffic circle. https://flic.kr/p/2jq9M6m

July 25, 2020. This is a feather I found. It's quite large, maybe a foot long, though surprisingly light. Andrea suggested it might be a wild turkey feather. Spent the day at home resting and watching the baseball game. https://flic.kr/p/2jpZXSp

July 24, 2020. Did some newsletter posts, then went back and forth along back roads, ending up at Riceville. This is just outside the tiny village, looking north into the river valley. 55 km total. https://flic.kr/p/2jpZULz

July 23, 2020. I did some writing this morning and then a nice brisk 51Km ride north through LaRose Forest this afternoon. If you wonder where your telephone poles come from, you're looking at them. LaRose is a working forest, with regular harvests (and recently, some clearing due to disease), but its still a forest that can be enjoyed year round. https://flic.kr/p/2jpcs77

July 23, 2020. This was an indoor day spent mostly puttering on the computer and waiting for the rain to go away. Also went to Costco. Vacation, keeping my brain blank. This lily is in our back yard. https://flic.kr/p/2jp9zWJ
