    Science news of the day

    Good news indeed but these news articles about breakthroughs that are published by the organization involved are also about raising money too.

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    There’s also “self service” dog washes now so you can pay a small amount and make someone else’s place filthy instead of your own! The stuff Scuba Steve posted has air channels to let the floor “breathe” a bit which can be important for a concrete overlay.

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    That underlay panel stuff Scuba Steve posted up for me earlier is designed to go over a concrete floor directly. Avoids condensation issues and insulates. Depends if you’re laying the click connect stuff or glue down planks though. How big will your dog get? Lifting a big dog into a raised...

    TV shows currently watching

    The Last Frontier on Apple TV. It’s like a Temu version of ConAir for much of it. Which is enjoyable. But then it also has a running storyline that seems a bit convoluted. It comes from the same writer as The Blacklist and that went on forever and meandered off into WTF territory. I think for...

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    In case you’re out of luck nearby there’s a guy that runs courses in PEC which would be a nice weekend away (or a longer drive). He frequently has some spots open. https://www.facebook.com/p/The-Gun-Course-Guy-in-PEC-61571726630454/

    Anyone here a cyclist?

    No idea on choices but Doug’s Bikes in Bellville (assuming you're in Cobourg) also has Santa Cruz along with Specialized bikes (and some Norco) for more choices.

    The "Official" Watch Thread and all Things Horological

    Yes, nothing screams charity and wildlife concern like a 1.5 mill gaudy bit of tat. Holy crap that thing is ugly.

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    Probably but not carefully.

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    We have a small pod in the driveway. Cost is $100 per month plus drop off and take away fees. Stores a surprising amount of crap. Full contents of one room plus a storage closet.

    Northern lights

    Strongest magnetic storm since 2003 tonight. Have a look outside. Not much luck here in K-town yet but some pics are being posted from earlier. Some breaks in the weather currently here too.

    That’s the ticket! Thanks.

    Restaurants

    Michelin places have to be consistent at the very top of their game night after night. Quite a few Michelin chefs withdraw from the listing as they say the stress is too much. My issue is that some of the most delicious food I've had here is from sub $20 for a main Thai restaurants. To...

    Restaurants

    I'm lucky that quite often I get taken out to top restaurants for free. I've been to two of TO's “top” rated restaurants, one Asian and one Italian. The Asian one was raved over but was incredibly pretentious and underwhelming, the Italian one managed to serve me a full caterpillar in a salad...

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    There’s no super magic underlay these days that is thicker than most for this job? I'd be fine with up to a 1/2 inch rise in floor height here as I can cope with that.

    Restaurants

    Plus if you buy the top shelf ingredients they are most likely there for 10s or maybe hundreds more dishes (unless they are fresh). One of our favourite restaurants was a German schnitzel place. It did reasonably basic tasty food very very well and consistently (important) at fair prices. It...

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    Since things are quiet with one dog gone now I'm thinking of doing a floor in the master bedroom. It was going to be underfloor heating but now that we have a mini split it can be a lot simpler as there’s no need for that. I’d like to insulate it a bit more and fill any gaps I find as this is...

    Restaurants

    If I can cook it I don’t want to pay a fortune for it. If I can’t then I'm ok forking out a bit but it’s silly prices now. Burgers for $20? Not a chance. I don’t care if they come with grated unicorn horn on it. We hardly ever go out for a meal now. Instead we spend the cash on ingredients...

    Where to get a puppy?

    No, he had a growth that ruptured, I had to rush him into the vet where the hard facts were explained to us. I was hoping it would be a quick stitching and wound cleaning but that was just optimism. He had quite a few other issues, he was nearly 14 and we knew the time was approaching soon, I...
