@floppy @pauljrobinson I've been using a few burn-failed CDs/DVDs as coasters for many years. Not particularly worried about using them as they clean off easily.

@mike can confirm, but #mbstorm could have been worse

Although we've officially been in winter mode here the past couple of weeks, the #mbstorm outlook for tonight into tomorrow will certainly make it a blizzard-y winter wonderland. Enough snow for plenty of snowballs but will be kinda cold for them to hold together very well as snow becomes more […]

Colour scan of the front of a plain white Xmas card with a series of printed candles in pastel colours, surrounding a larger centre candle, which is made of thin balsa wood. The smaller candles are labelled Love, Hope, Peace, and Joy reading, clockwise from the nine o'clock position. The Joy candle is blue, Hope is purple, Peace is green, and Joy is red. The larger wood centre candle is painted white and does not have any words written on it, but the Christmas Star symbol has been burnt into it around the midpoint, above a green sparkled holly leaf with a centre red sequin acting as the berry. This card represents Christmas Day, and comes after a four year series (for the Sundays of Advent) had been completed in 2023. There was no card in 2024 due to the Canada Post Strike, which halted lettermail service across the country.

After last year's absence due to the #CanadaPost strike in 2024, was greeted with the thirty-nineth annual #Xmas card from my old neighbour today.
It's entitled "Christmas Day" and was a pleasant surprise to see after the last four, which cycled through the […]

Zuckerberg has blown 77 billion – enough money to revitalize entire countries – on an idea so overwhelmingly, obviously stupid that I have never once heard anyone, from the Thanksgiving avuncular table to the most wretched depths of social media, say they liked it or even tried it. He was so […]

Have just watched the latest
@soallipodcast ( https://youtu.be/-Y-pPfC2jXw ) where @allisimpson has a rather "spicy" chat (at times) with her mum, @angiemsimpson , and we learn a few more embarrassing stories of Alli.
@codysimpson factors into the conversation a few times, but there was no […]

Ah, a couple of nice shots of @codysimpson and @emmamckeon from a recent outing:
https://mastodon.social/@emmamckeon@kilogram.makeup/115483173998005305
It does appear Codes has reacquainted himself with leather trousers -- unless those are waxed jeans, but, that seems doubtful.
Glad he was able […]

@climatologist49.bsky.social I should clarify: by "bulk" I meant using a scoop to fill bags or containers of it from a large bin versus retail packaged products.

@climatologist49.bsky.social surprised you don't buy it in bulk at this time of year

This cargo sailing vessel arrived in Baltimore today from the French territory of St. Pierre and Miquelon (off Newfoundland).
Quite something.
Apparently, the sailing tech can be adapted to fit other existing cargo vessels, if […]

The image shows two harp covers in a concert setting, one in blue and one in red, positioned on a wooden stage. There's a music stand and a black chair visible, with a person partially in the background.

PSA: Harp covers look like giant oven mitts. 🪉

And, just watched (yes, watched) part two of @soallipodcast 's chat with @codysimpson . @allisimpson asks a few fan questions (unreleased works Cody is fond of) as well as discussions regarding red, green, even yellow flags in relationships:
https://youtu.be/FKLMKD95MEM

Kinda get the impression […]

I think Codes handles the buzz cut look well:
https://mastodon.social/@codysimpson@kilogram.makeup/115429539513697356

Certainly worked for him (and was needed?) during the grueling professional swim era.

However, the one problem I see has to do with dating his photos, especially since he's […]

Intrigued by the 1st @soallipodcast , that I just watched the 2nd, in which @allisimpson goes over her "files" on past troubled/toxic relationships, and, most importantly, what each of them taught her.
Problem is, though, having gone through so many, it does tend to make you have trust issues […]

It's ok for @allisimpson to say "I hate talking about myself" ... that's the whole point of her new podcast/show.
Very interesting to learn about her Radio Disney days, as I'm not too familiar with her background, unlike Codes.
I'd say don't worry about being single, Alli. I do agree you are […]

I just now watched @allisimpson 's solo premiere of "So Alli". She certainly comes across as part Aussie Sunshine & part Hollywood Chaos.
I would agree that swimming isn't for her -- she was involved in it to be around her school crush, at the time.
Glad she recovered from the serious neck […]

Yes, listened to the @codysimpson interview with @allisimpson , on her new "So Alli" podcast.
Didn't watch the video version, just listened to Codes & Alli talk. Cody openly discussed "on" days and confirmed my suspicions of what he thinks about that time of his life. That "Late Late Show" […]

As I think about @codysimpson 's comments regarding his "party"/leather pants days, I suppose if you look at them from the perspective/context of the things he was doing, and possibly "on" during that period, then, yes, his comments make a lot more sense.
Just wanted to add that point as there […]

I'm thinking from Chicago, somewhere, looking out at Lake Michigan
(My first test of a quote post/toot, too)

Will most certainly check out @codysimpson 's sibling interview with Alli, which can be found here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rime2Qc0v5Y

There's also another recent one here:

I like this retrospective by @codysimpson on his "eras"...
https://mastodon.social/@codysimpson@kilogram.makeup/115381091945707635

His "hippie" era was quite "Down to Earth" (hey, sounds like a song name...) and I think he'll always carry a bit of that with him, as it changed his life.

But […]

The countdown continues for @Bigrigtravels whom will be handing in the Blue Comet to complete twenty years of professional truck driving next September.
As of this morning, he has three hundred twenty-seven days to go.
His career mileage currently stands somewhere over 2,135,000.
The succeeding […]

A recent run-in with a rather amateur paparazzi (Celebrity "Chaos") whom broke some "big news" from @codysimpson whilst visiting B.H.:
https://youtu.be/i_maTh_iCEw
The "big news" isn't that he'll have new music, it's whether it'll be out before he turns thirty, or not.
Not sure if Cody even […]

With the Premiere in attendance today
Watching his son play
It was a tense one
That didn't look like it would go our way

But the boys kept at it
& were rewarded in the last little bit

OT came & went
One point had been won
But a shootout was needed
To solve the game's outcome

Victory was […]

Colour scan of a yellow carbon copy of an official hockey game sheet, that shows the Overtime (period four) winning goal (number seven of the "Knight"), scored at 4:06 (54 seconds remaining) by player number eight, assisted by players number three and seventeen. This was not only the game winning overtime goal, it was also a shorthanded goal, so quite the provenance to it. Naturally, 8 was chosen as the team's player of the game. You can find him wearing the POG chain via their IG account.

Tonight's game was setup to be
a game to remember for you and me

We were never behind, mostly ahead, and also tied,
but when OT ended we cheered with pride

For the Knights have now gone three and oh
if you were in attendance it was quite the show

#JuniorHockey #Hockey

Drove back to our room before the game yesterday,
to pickup someone's shin pads left behind,
had returned by the start of the first period,
so that player could be part of his line,

the game was another good showing for us,
with decent offense and d,
encouraging to see the boys come together […]

Home opener was last night,
which was a testy and close affair,
with many good chances for a knight,

in the end, a point shot won it,
goal three with three thirty-three left in the third,
off the stick of Cody,
it was a beauty, you must admit.

#JuniorHockey #hockey

Should note: tend to think these shows (or, at least, this segment) has/have had some type of AI processing in terms of up-converting the resolution and/or framing shots, as some appear zoomed in or framed unnaturally. Wouldn't be surprised, all this considered...

Nice to see some grey-haired Barker episodes of TPiR starting to show up on The Barker Era Pluto channel, along with Buzzr now, too:
Here's an exciting playing of "Three Strikes '+' ":
https://youtu.be/IcSrJpEi9Og

They are streaming shows from late 1988, which is one full year after Bob stopped […]

Still patiently waiting for
@codysimpson 's "in the can" tracks to be mixed, mastered, and released.
Hopefully it is forthcoming.
Have only listened to part of the first Drake cover he did. Drake's material isn't my thing and the track Cody covered reiterated why.
Since that was the first cover […]
