Let's Make Some Art, Dammit

August 5, 2026. Corn. Another day just like yesterday as I made a bit more progress cleaning my office and went out for another 25km bike ride. This is a corn field just south of town. Looks like a good year. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/JLThsft

August 4, 2026. Town Hall. This is part of a display for the library in our town hall. No, I did not go to sign up for municipal election (though it's tempting) but rather to get stickers for extra garbage bags. I feel like I'm now at the start of my post-retirement life, and job number one is to clean and restore my environment. Also went for a bike ride today. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/VZhswjl

August 3, 2026. Small butterfly observed on our hike today in Pine Grove Forest. Lots of water on the ground, but at least it wasn't raining. <a href="https://flic.kr/p/2stwfMv">https://flic.kr/p/2stwfMv</a> August 3, 2026 at 09:58AM

August 2, 2026. Rain Day. Normally we go for a hike on Sunday but with torrential rains all day we postponed to Monday. So it was an indoor day, puttering on the computer, not especially productive. Also, I had really itchy feet all day (a bad sock choice for cycling the day before). #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/cGMusyz

August 1, 2026. I dropped off Andrea, picked up the bike, took the car in to be cleaned, then spent four hours cycling to Osgoode on the old rail trail, and back via River Road. A nice day, and to top it off, the Blue Jays won. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/MPsF90m

July 31, 2026. RedBlacks. It was Friday night football day today. Kind of a long day; I was an hour early for my doctor appointment (the risk of scheduling while cycling in the rain in a different time zone). Got some new Crocs to replace the ones lost on the ride. The game itself wasn&#39;t good; Ottawa quite rightly fired the defensive coordinator after, and the coach/GM has to be hanging on by a thread. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/wZF6oI8

July 30, 2026. Billy. Before I went traveling I went to Idea for a case to keep my various speaker's gifts from over the years; I wanted glass doors so they wouldn't collect dust. Getting the Ikea Billy bookcase set up was a task, and then it didn't fit right. Today I shook up my home office and moved it to its new location. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/F2VOexT
