No I think you're right. The Sunday schedule was different, the other days wee earlier. That's why they called it the Dayliner :)

I used it for the first three years I attended Dal. It was a great schedule, left Halifax on Friday at 530 pm, got to Weymouth at 10 pm. Back to Halifax departing Weymouth at 1230 pm, in the city by supper.

I'd like to not feel like I'm going to go through the spectator balcony floor in Scotia 2 but that's just me I guess.

That is amazing. I'm going for my consult in a couple of weeks to hopefully be ok'd for surgery and I cannot wait.

We got in line for the Berrios city connect jerseys at 2:30 for 5 pm entry as the 2 teens with us wanted to be certain they'd get one. That was mid July right after the all star break. There were already lots of people in line at that point but we were reasonably close to the doors.

They brought them good luck as they won in OT too!

I like the 'Mooseheads' lettering on the shoulders and the colours are awesome.

We left for a cruise just before the 1st March break storm hit. We were in Barbados when the 2nd storm hit.
Thankfully we had parked indoors at the airport and a neighbour had cleared our driveway before our return. Coukd not believe how much snow had fallen while away.

Yeah that sure was a statement that shows who she is. Her acolytes love he her though.

Meanwhile pre-free bus passes the kids at Astral Jr were simply hopping on the 65 at lunch to go to Tims/El Centro and the drivers rarely challenged them. Ok, sure, you're all 12 or under, get on ๐Ÿ˜‚

Why does this not surprise me. What an idiotic statement.

Back in the day (mid 80s?) NS tourism gave away museum passports and each museum had a stamp. While I never completed a full set, I had good fun collecting as many as I could each summer.

I use the Morris St after Barrington stop and the back doors have been basically impossible to use for weeks. If any driver gave me grief I'd point out the window at the snowpile. Even the front door area is not well cleared but better than the back.

I'm in the same place with driving. Kid2 is probably a better driver than I am, for sure he is at night anyway. Yesterday he went to a friend's place around noon and I reminded him several times that the weather was deteriorating quickly. Sigh of relief when he got home at 2pm.

In the bad winter of 2015 we had two big snowstorms during March break so we're not out of the woods yet. ๐Ÿ˜ง

Hmm I don't think computers are what they're talking about though. The employees WFH/hybrid have computers already that they take back and forth to the office. When they say "workstations" they talking cubicles and physical space.

Great game, Canada!

It was an honor/honour to
play against such fantastic neighbors/ neighbours.

discrete = separate

discreet = unobtrusive

The E's are SEPARATED by the T in 'discrete.'

I know, that's exactly what I was thinking.

The only saving grace is that university and college students will be winding down for the summer at that time.

I boarded a bus at Portland hills at 7:26. Usually it takes me 55ish minutes to get to work downtown. Today we were already at Scotia square by 7:55.

Traffic is light because Friday and reading week but wow that's a good example of how a swing of several thousand commuters affect traffic.

I don't know but Kid2's tournament semi final also went 0-0 to OT then a 6 round shootout on Monday so this is three days in a row of OT stress.

Do not like.

Likely better pay, don't know about the stress.

We're a publicly traded company so there's a lot of responsibility that comes with being an internal auditor in that environment.

Can confirm as my employer has hired three of them in the last 12 months.

Yum!

We're doing classic buttermilk pancakes from the *How to Cook Everything" cookbook. I got a bottle of good maple syrup for Xmas that we shall use for them.

Head ache here too, a combination of poor sleep several days in a row, a tense semi final hockey tournament game for Kid2 and weather. I took a gel cap Advil last night before bed but it only took the edge off.
