4PM - Huh, the audio on this video is really bad. Maybe I can download some subtitles from the internet and just shift the time stamps to make it work....

4AM - HOW AM I ONLY HALFWAY THROUGH THIS THING, I NEED IT BY 7PM SATURDAY!!!!

I know the Technomage's "Fourteen Words to Make Someone Fall in Love with You Forever."

They're fairly sweet.

As many of you know (or many of you endure) I go to Canada a lot (at least before Covid).

I have a set of things I like to do when I'm there that I call "The Last Ride." I call it that because back when I left Seattle and move to Texas in 2013, it was "Everything that means something to me in Canada that I want to see before I leave for the last time." I ended up moving back in 2014, so, it ended up not being the "Last Ride" after all.

I didn't visit Canada again for a while after moving back up, but when I did, it was a day at the most, and what I'd do is visit stuff on that Last Ride list. The last time I was up there, I actually visited EVERYTHING over three days.

When I was planning up this trip, I wanted to do something different. And that was the theme - Do Something Different. So this time, no Last Ride visits. The only one I did was La Casa Gelato, cause it was my birthday trip, and I'm gonna do it.

Doing the Old Yale trip was a lot of fun, but also a lot shorter than I expected. The whole Kilometers/Miles things makes me think things are farther apart then they actually are.

I'd like to start going back up four times a year like I used to, but I think I'm going to hold off on that until I get a new job. Next trip may be around Christmas. I'll figure out something to do then. :)

And finally, the one thing I wanted to pick up on the way home, which is why I left Canada earlier than normal. Tin Roof Ice Cream from Edaleen Dairy, my favorite ice cream. :9

With the sheer amount of snacks and chips and candies and my food restrictions, I'm going to be set for snacks for a LONG LONG LONG time.

The Canadian snack haul. Tag yourself, I'm Indomie Ramen Spicy Pack.

I've not been able to find the maple candies I really like twice now. I hope they still make them.

While I was in Canada, the Texas Czech Fairy visited the house!

A wonderful birthday gift from Crystal and Lissa. A lovely red bowl to replace my grandmothers old red (radioactive!) fiestaware that shattered during the move from Texas to Seattle. Love it, as my IKEA mixing bowls are...not the best.

I rather liked The Flash. Or was it Amanda Pays. I think it was Amanda Pays.

HELLO THERE I AM WATCHING YOU DO THINGS

I love me some Davie Villiage. Even the back alleys are painted and proud.

After the last few weeks, I needed this.

Wouldn't it be nice if Duvall got one of these? ::Hint hint::

Of all the stuff I did these last three days? The one thing I keep thinking about? That gochujang burger. DAMN that was GOOD.

450 miles in Canada. Possibly a record!

Canadians know how to snack.
