Snakes

Took a Mother’s Day road trip to Narcisse to see the snakes, us and hundreds of other folks! The parking lot was jammed and people were parking on both elides of the highway for at least 1/4km in each direction from the enterance. It was a pleasant walk around the area between the various snake Read More …

Cottage Opening 2016

Posted onMay 13, 2016May 13, 2016Authorgarry.c.stewart1 Comment

Opened the cottage a little early this year, the Thursday before the traditional May long weekend. I took a few days off and came down Wednesday evening. Part of the early opening was a group ride that was taking place in the Kenora area, billed as a “Spring Training Camp” which seemed like a lot Read More …

Karate is Rough

The day after some kumite sparring. Just a little bruising. Must have blocked a few hard Tsuki.

Walkabout

Spending the day walking The Strip in Las Vegas on the Saturday before the Information on Demand conference. Flights down were good and a $30 taxi ride from the airport to the Mandalay Bay, which looks like walking distance from the airport and I’m here. Room is great and after picking up my registration materials Read More …

First Group ride on Zwift

Posted onFebruary 13, 2016February 13, 2016Authorgarry.c.stewart1 Comment

Over the Christmas holidays I said goodbye to TrainerRoad and hello to Zwift. TrainerRoad is awesome and I enjoyed pairing it with The Sufferfest videos, but Zwift with it’s interactive and social riding, workout plans similar to TrainerRoad, and integration with my Wahoo Kickr takes indoor riding out of the Pain Cave of solitude into a Read More …

Transistor Radio

I was looking for some electrical parts in the shop the other day and re-dicovered this in the bottom of a box. When I was about 10 years old my parents went on a trip without Gail & I. We stayed with our grandparents Amma & Grandad for several days. I think is was Read More …

I’m a winter cyclist

Posted onDecember 25, 2015December 25, 2015Authorgarry.c.stewart1 Comment

That’s right, I cycle commute to work year round and this is the 4th winter for riding in the snow & cold. Some think I’m a little crazy, perhaps. Some think it’s too dangerous, perhaps. Car drivers dislike cyclists, and especially winter cyclists, perhaps. So far this winter the riding has been going well, and Read More …

WordPress 4.4 & Themes

Posted onDecember 23, 2015Authorgarry.c.stewart1 Comment

Upgraded to 4.4, seems to work well. In the process I tried the Twenty sixteen theme, and this one is not for me. Text seems too large and clunky and the way it handles the banner image and the blog identity just takes up too much space. I’d like to see the blog identity overlay Read More …

Commuter bike repair

So this week I had a problem with the rear bike rack. On Thursday the bolt attaching the rack to the lower chain stay snapped off. Now the rack is saying on.one side and the fender is rubbing the tire. An quick zip tie fix didn’t make it through the Friday commute. Time for a Read More …

Caddy Lake

Posted onNovember 15, 2015Authorgarry.c.stewart1 Comment

The first cottage experience in my life was the Caddy Lake cottage. I don’t have a lot of memories about this place as I was only 3 at the time, but a couple of them are quite vivid. The one that stands out the most is in fact probably family legendary, and it involves a Read More …
