Anyone else out there write a skeet, convince themselves it’s either too spicy or nobody will give a skunk’s butt, then delete it? Just me? Cool cool cool. Back to my usually scheduled lurking.
I own a little Keychron keyboard that has a switch on the back for swapping typing layouts. I type using Colemak and this switch allows me to do things that require the QWERTY layout with a small flick rather than rebind everything. It’s the little things that make life enjoyable.
I hung out with #aviation buddies today. We all have red and white Pipers. This motif was not planned. It would be exceedingly expensive to purposefully coordinate such a thing.
Yessss!!! We need more of this. Bring us all the brains!

I was just on a Teams call and my colleague asks what the sound she’s hearing in the background is. It takes me a minute to realize that it’s the cat snoring. Lola was a solid 10 feet away on a lower horizontal plane and my microphone picked her up! Boy, she’s full of sass lately.
I spilled half a bag of cat food on the floor. My cat, who hasn’t finished her provided food today, scrambled to consume as many pieces as she could. She then proceeded to sit on the remaining mound on the floor like some sort of cat Smaug.

With the weather cooling down, can we all agree that all things of a holly jolly nature aren’t allowed until AFTER Remembrance Day? Personally I’d asked to wait until December 1, but I know that’s a big ask for some of you.

As a Canadian, this whole EU thing feels like I’m being flirted with by someone who is well out of my league, but for some reason finds me hot as hell! 😆

If I can work up the courage, I’ll do this next time.

Somehow, I captured an insane video of the Snowbirds & CWHM Lancaster flying in Toronto today from Humber Bay. Let me tell you… the PC-21s are going to sound insane compared to the Tutors. Those jets are gracefully quiet. Siskins are unapologetically loud. Happy hibernation Snowbirds! #aviation
