“Hydration breaks” yeah right. Totally not ad breaks at all. They’ve turned the game into one of quarters.

That looks like a rebrand/non brand of the one I have. Mine is a steady performer. You can jam it up if you overfeed it but it’s easy to clear the jams. It prefers brown wood over green but will mulch either. The mulch you get out of it is basically chipped but not super fine but it’s...

Battery mower probably isn’t good for a mower business unless you have a bunch of batteries. My 80v will do a reasonable sized back and front yard and not have that much left over afterwards.

World Cup opening match just played. That was a bit of a damp squib. 3 red cards, 2 of them a bit debatable. If this is how the officiating is going to be the Dutch mixed martial arts squad that moonlights as the national football team will be down to 5 men in every game.

I have a similar tool. Mine is a greenworx 40v extendible pole saw and it’s used a lot. I take off the extensions to use it as a mini chainsaw when I need to. One thing that is super useful that I have is an electric mulcher. It’s a Joe Blow brand one and it comes out whenever I’m doing any...

Saw my first surron here the other day. A kid was ripping wheelies up and down the road which does look cool, but I wondered what happens if he wipes out at that speed and takes out a pensioner or damages someone’s car. Some kind of obligatory insurance band might make them ride a little more...

England are in and play Panama. I don’t have an England shirt (kind of tarnished by rabid nut jobs) but I do have a Panama jersey. I’ll be wearing that. I have a collection of old soccer jerseys to confuse my neighbours. Colombia and Mexico and Brazil are around somewhere. I gave away my US...

Someone did a study on these once and found that they increase fuel consumption in your vehicle by a not inconsiderable amount! The person that did the study was probably Dr Debbie Downer but still…..

I can reliably get hot peppers if I start early enough but for any that might turn red from green that would be rare but it’s happened before. It’s a harvest in the last weeks of the season though. Toms are good but I have lots of green left at the end of the season on the beefsteaks. We...

They do but that’s not where the majority of the valuation is. It’s in relatively untested (for SpaceX) AI crap that’s heavily interwoven with his social media platform. It seems like if you just whisper those two letters these days investors wet their pants and throw dollars at you.

My wife had a sporty version of one of those in France a while back. She had it on two wheels briefly going round a roundabout. We don’t have any sporty cars currently or since then. It’s a fun little lightweight car with a decent engine. A decent recipe for smiles.

I'm in Kingston so that may change things by a degree or so.

We have two varieties. A variegated and a plain one that are doing well in our crappy clay soil. It could be the microclimate here or we could just be lucky. I may be able to divide one up if you ever get out this way, I’d need to see where it’s spread this year first though. One is in the...

Spray foam day today. Learned a few things. The wood has to be below a certain humidity threshold or the foam won’t stick. The wood can be treated with a stain blocker beforehand (we had that done to cut down on any small rotten areas left over after replacement). They are putting 5” of foam...

There’s a website called camel camel camel that does that.

Yucca (far left in the pic) and the hens and chicks succulent plants grow fantastically here and overwinter easily. The yucca I have has spawned about 5 baby plants and they flower every summer too. The winter hardy cactus was surprising but it’s growing pretty fast for a cactus. That’s...

Read another review of the ipo for SpaceX that showed the majority of the valuation is in AI associated business for which SpaceX is not known. Only a small proportion of the valuation is attributed to launch capabilities and communications (Starlink). Further it argued that the structure of...

Canadian winter hardy cactus in its 3rd season! Its doing pretty well. Started off as just a couple of paddles on one plant and now it's split into two plants with multiple paddles. Hoping it will flower this year. It does have the world's most annoying super fine spines though. Sent from my...

There is a tested spring in Perth too. Not as scenic in terms of location, I think it’s right downtown. Never used the spring but Perth is a nice place to visit so I’ll head up that way soon and report back.

Beaver fever! I’ve scooped up water from a stream before when I was younger. Wouldn’t do it now. The Ardoch Spring is a proper artesian spring though. The water is untested formally but locals have tested it themselves with water kits apparently. Use at your own risk though.
