Biking on November 4th
by garry.c.stewart on Nov.05, 2008, under Cycling
Yep, that’s me with the bike, and it’s dark out at 5:30pm, but it;s a balmy +16°. I’ve just cycle commuted home from work and it could be one of the last rides for a while.
It’s forecaster to rain tomorrow, and I’m not quite hard core enough to start out my day in the rain. After that they are calling for snow, and I’m definitely not riding in that! Well, at least not until it’s cold enough that the “slush season” is over, and then we’ll see.
p.s. – notice the shorts!
TSO in Winnipeg

We saw the Trans-Siberian Orchestra in Winnipeg last night and it was a great show. Similar, but with some different twists that the first time we saw them last year at the Alerus Center in Fargo.
This was the best picture I was able to capture. Between the ushers telling people not to take pictures and somebody poking me it was hard to get the camera up to take a decent shot. Anyway, photos hardly tell the story, you need to experience the sound, light, laser and pyrotechnics that is the TSO.
I’m a lumberjack and I’m OK…

This is Eric. This is Eric up a tree, a 45′ tree, at the top of a 32′ ladder. It’s high, scary high especially when you’re reaching up to trim of those last few branches.
As were doing this, for some strange reason, the Monty Python Lumber jack song pops into my head. Anyway, we keep working and before long the tree is down, and we didn’t hit any wires of the neighbors fence and it’s all good. We even got some applause from a neighbor two houses down. I think he thought there was going to be an impending disaster when we cut off the top 12-15′.
