My Sunday power skating coach challenges me every skate, today was no different. So I ended up with a big parachute tied to my tail, and every drill was a "stand on the throttle" full out go. I gave it hell in every forward gear. Now my legs are absolutely trashed, worse than any leg day in memory
That old sled doggo!

Curly Tail enjoying his furry midlife. A transportation nerd, classic car aficionado and wrench for almost 4 decades now. Dabbles in hockey, the gym, woodworking and just all round solid pal. Chat me up!
Nothing like getting time and a half to watch a concert. Gord and the Hip on a CBC special.
Weekends are supposed to be relaxing, or so I thought. I'm exhausted. Also , I really need to remind myself that comparison truly can be a thief of joy. *Goes to nap on sofa before dinner*
Really shouldn't have been surprised my skate today was hot garbage. Had a 2 week hiatus from the ice, and not much gym or running. Add in tons of parental care issues, and it was a lot of stress. Glad I have a dear friend in @cheekdots.bsky.social . Thanks for listening at the coffee shop. :)
Ducky expressing what we're all feeling some days
Gee Toby, I feel swell! I just shit myself!!! LOL! Things you find in an antiques shop!
These would make the most psychedelic fursuit tail! Also, horsey!!
Having bought Under Armour clothing online over the years, I routinely get emails from them. I usually just delete them, but lately they've been using Francois Arnaud of Heated Rivalry fame as 1 of their models. He's my new Internet crush. I would just melt if he hugged me. So drool worthy!!
The northern Ontario wildfires are so intense right now, that the smoke has made it's way down to the Greater Toronto area. My phone doesn't really capture how orange and hazy it is right now. The sun, when I can locate it, is a tiny orange dot.
Finding myself really craving some sorta change. Just no clue what I want tbh. Kinda wondered what a Queer eye makeover would feel like, and would I be brave enough to try. Guess maybe I'm tired of me...or something like that...
In local news, neighborhood pest makes mess....lol
It's oddly uncomfortable having the house to myself again. It was really nice having company for a while. Seems weird , quiet and alone.
Laying on my sofa, full of dessert courtesy of @cheekdots.bsky.social . Really grateful for both he & his wonderful hubby @breve.dog 's friendship all these years. :) The house is going to be so oddly quiet once you head home to your newly refreshed space. Gonna miss ya both. Love n Hugs always!
Enjoying a glass of cider in my little slice of suburbia. The heat's moved off, and there's quite a pleasant breeze. Relaxo doggo.
Trying my paw at Chef Shep's Mushroom Soup (Stew) recipe!
Freshly rebuilt for another couple seasons and tournaments. Shop did an outstanding job! Happy doggo!
Imagining this coach stuffed with candies. Doors open and look out!
GO Transit owes these old war horses a debt of gratitude. They helped build the commuter rail network GO has today, paving the way for the MP series locos and longer trains. Nice to see this one still in active service some 40 years on. Apparently some are getting new Metrolinx livery.
These DMU's for the Union-Pearson Express are the neatest thing. Unmistakably Cummins powered, with ZF (I think) final drives, they literally sound and feel like a highway coach on rails. A modern day Budd RDC car, without the signature 2 stroke screaming Jimmy's tho.
Taking the train into the city the other evening and I was able to catch a quick snap of the @rapidotrains.bsky.social fleet resting at Willowbrook yard. It's so cool to have these folks in the hobby. The absolute best in Canadian based model trains, and now full size stuff too! Thanks guys!
Truly a blessing to have wonderful houseguests that bake treato's for you! Treat crafting expert @cheekdots.bsky.social filled the kitchen with drool worthy treats! They didn't last long with a Spot and Sled dog nearby.....
@cheekdots.bsky.social helped up my running game tonight. Full mile and change, no stops / walking. Can only go up from here. Feeling rather accomplished!
For my running/fitness following. I'm trying to actually start running. I went from interval stuff on the gym treadmill to actually running steady. This 10 min mile threshold seems impossible. Good shoes, light clothes, well hydrated. Can't seem to run well enough long enough. Any advice, thoughts?
Catch of the morning, while enjoying my morning walk. Vintage Cab car wearing spiffy new paint, and a vintage F59 providing power. Really cool this 59 survives to this day and still has no problem strutting her stuff in mainline commuter service 40 some years on. :)
One of the best automotive artists out there IMHO, and the creator of some awesome pieces for me!
