Once his baseball career is over, Blue Jay Dylan Cease should go back to school for law. Then he needs to find another lawyer called Desist and partner with him or her. The firm practically names itself: ‘Cease and Desist’. | ⚾️

Hey, Toby Lütke, here's an idea for you: how about Shopify customers pay one cent per transaction? That way, those who can afford it pay more, and those who can least afford it pay less? No? Because that wouldn't be fair, right? | 🍁

In case anybody is wondering, this is what an *actual* smoke machine looks like, capable of producing said smoke on demand and able to send it in any direction, as would be the case with a lavish, fanciful Broadway production, for example. (📸 See ALT) | 🍁 | 🔗 commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sm...
What with the straight tail Cessna 310, the retro-looking paint scheme and four digit registration number, this makes me think Sky King is in town? | 🛩️ 🎭 🎬 📍 🇨🇦 | 🔗 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky_Kin...
Delighted to see London Drugs stocks reading material sure to get an aviation obsession off on the right foot. 😉 In particular, the yellow sailplane in the top right corner is a nice touch. Order now for Christmas giving? | 🛩️ 📚 🪽 | 🔗 taffytalespress.com/products/air...
Sticking with the Oshkosh theme, there is even a homegrown version of the mass arrival, in this case, two SR22s evidently travelling together. The second guy is taxiing like he has a bus to catch. Cool. | 🛩️ 📹 📍 🇨🇦 | 🔗 cirrusaircraft.com/aircraft/sr-...
Couldn't get out to Oshkosh this year—or any year for that matter—but there was a mini-edition of the event at Springbank today, marked by the arrival of this rather nice-looking Cozy Mark IV. | 🛩️ 📹 📍 🇨🇦 | 🔗 www.aircraftspruce.ca/catalog/pnpa...
For some reason, I was thinking about this excellent @scribener.bsky.social article today, and wanted to share it here again for any and all to read and think about. It captures a moment where I was so damn proud to be a Canadian. 🥺 Here's what I also know for sure: this, too, will pass. | 🛩️ 🦆 🍁

Tipped off to their arrival by our friend @jasonchampton.bsky.social, these three beauties are on a tour of western Canada.

Candidly, I had mixed feelings when the news broke about a potential return of Kawhi Leonard to the Raptors. It made me think back to his first tenure with the team; here are my thoughts from 2019. Rereading them, I'm now inclined to believe 'Kawhi II' could be an interesting sequel. | 🏀 🦖
The Tao of Kawhi Leonard
His approach to the game is an example we need in these troubled times.

An RV-10 apparently so new, the owner hasn't yet had an opportunity to add accent stripes. Love the extra bass note 🎶 in that sound. | 🛩️ 📹 📍 🇨🇦 | 🔗 www.vansaircraft.com/rv-10/
Hard to believe that this beautiful Lancair 320 is already thirty-two years old, which is a testament to its timeless design. It still looks fresh and modern. Another pilot who taxis with purpose. I like it; avgas is expensive. | 🛩️ 📹 📍 🇨🇦
Back at Springbank after the road trip to the coast, this sharp-looking Gazelle made an appearance, although I didn't catch it flying, unfortunately. While it may be part of @airbus.com now, it will always be Aérospatiale to me. Sounds cooler. | 🛩️ 🚁 📍 🇨🇦

I figured enough time had elapsed since the passing of a much-beloved neighbourhood dog 🐶 that I could finally address their remaining traces on our lawn. | 🌱
No matter how things eventually turned out, @canmntofficial.bsky.social, it was one hell of a ride and you made us all so very proud. Thank you. See you, better than ever, in four years’ time. | ⚽️ 🍁

The final planespotting stop of the Okanagan Valley road trip was the product of what had to be absolute alignment of the stars and dumb luck. Specifically, how often do you randomly drive up to an airport and *five minutes later* the resident … | 🛩️ ⚔️ 📹 📍 🇨🇦 | 🧵 1/5 | 🔗 kfcentre.ca
A Britten-Norman Islander, looking quite forlorn, as recently captured at Penticton Airport. Did you know @brittennorman.bsky.social is making these again? Or maybe this one is a candidate for their recently announced Global Aircraft Recovery service? | 🔗 britten-norman.com/britten-norm...
We were out for a cruise to the Okotoks Air Ranch (CFX2) recently, and found our planespotting spot fenced off. That's the bad news. ☹️ The much better news 🙂 is the plan they have as described by @rkorotyszyn.bsky.social writing for the @westernwheel.bsky.social this past February. | 🛩️ 📍 🇨🇦
