6-0. #CANMNT wish it was more after the Koné injury. Still, historic stuff. ☺️#FIFAWorldCup

Hell of a start. 🤯☺️ #CANMNT

We got sick of the service and being slowly and incrementally more ripped off by telecom duopoly #1 and have a guy here from telecom duopoly #2 installing their stuff. In about five years we will probably get sick of the service and being ripped off by telecom duopoly #2 and go back to #1.

I’m not much for Instagram, but saw a post about Karen Dalton recently that had censored that she battled drug addiction, contracted HIV and died of AIDS related compilations. I kinda called that out as was told ‘those words will suppress the algorithm’. Crazy stuff/times. Anyway, she’s amazing.

A better second half. Wanted the win, but will take the draw.

Bad passing, bad receiving and some dodgy set pieces… not a great opening 45’. Hoping it was nerves and they get over it. #FIFAWorldCup #CANBIH #CANMNT

A lot less record spinning here as of late. I’m rebuilding the main setup. Funny though, as I’d almost forgotten how amazing blues, soul, R&B and early Rock and roll actually sounds on this little guy. By all rights it shouldn’t probably, but it just fits. #NowPlaying #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity

This World Cup obviously has (to put it mildly) a bit of an orange cloud hanging over it. That said, I’m a fan and going to a Canada match down the street would be great and I was surprised tickets were still available. Lot’s of ‘em actually. $854 for a single in the ‘cheap’ seats will do that.

Happy Pride Month to all you kick ass folks celebrating! Please know you loved, you are never alone and I just happen to think you are some of the strongest and toughest folks I’ve ever known. #loveislove #happypridemonth2026 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Yesterday I walked past a neighbours place and he was sitting on his front porch next to a crate holding a snarling raccoon he’d caught in his yard. He threw on a pair of welding gloves, got him in the crate and was waiting for animal services to get him while having a glass of wine. He is 92!

We lost one of the great ones today. RIP to the saxophone colossus, Sonny Rollins. #SonnyRollins #Jazz #Musicsky

It’s a pouring rain, cuddle up with a hound and listen to Chet Baker kind of day here.

The lilacs have finally popped out to do their thing around here. I like ‘em. ☺️

To my Canadian folks, I’m over on gander (slowly figuring that out) as well. mattpark10.gander.social Nice there is a Canadian made space made for Canadians. No worries though, I’m still very much here. Arguably too much. 🤷🏼‍♂️😬😂

Sleepy hounds. ☺️

Agree to disagree and I will not be taking you seriously unless you spell it ‘Centre’. 😂 🙄

This came back from the stereo doctor yesterday after getting a clean bill of health and was hooked up. Incredible. Super warm but so clear I can hear a singer take a breath. Pretty sure I need a better phono preamp now however and yeah, as if vinyl alone hasn’t cost me more than I’d care to admit.😬

Today is my father-in-laws 80th birthday shindig. We are off pickup our nephew who is flying in from Halifax (second year at Dalhousie) who tells me he picked up some Propeller double IPA for me. I don’t feel old enough for any of these things to be a reality, but here we are. 🤷🏼‍♂️😂😬

For years now I’ve wanted a good classic stereo receiver. I’ve wildly over researched it all, done listening tests on a bunch to find what I like best and the weird bells and whistles I’d want. Today (after a not insubstantial road trip) I found her. I’ve named her Kimiko Sansui and she rocks. ☺️

This seemed a bit much earlier today. 😂 😬

It’s funny how at just the right time and in just the right mood a song can hit. A simple little piano instrumental here. I’ve heard it before, but sometimes time stands still and it just kind of syncs. Worth a listen: m.youtube.com/watch?v=tws3...

I’m quite looking forward to going to this in July. ☺️ #MusicSky

Well done Hungary! Some great and welcome news. www.reuters.com/world/hungar...

This morning as I lay in bed in that peaceful and blissful stage of half awake and still asleep the first voice I heard was that of my wife saying: ‘Ok, you need to shave his morning and get a haircut on the way home. You’re starting to look like Einstein had he fallen on seriously hard times.’ 🤷🏼‍♂️😂

More than twenty years ago when my now wife and I first moved in together, my mom gave us this chive plant from the garden in the house I grew up in for our balcony. It (and us) have moved a fair bit and my mom has passed, but each spring this is always the first thing up. I like that.☺️ #HappySpring

It will always entertain me that the choice was made to have the tuna fish cans next to the centre ice marker in the Maple Leaf Gardens Loblaws.

Oh, my spot on the corner of the couch? Yeah, you won’t be having that. 🤷🏼‍♂️😂

👇 this is insane, untrue and in no way tethered in reality. I see some mutuals here and think it best to move on and block. I do wonder at times when I see this from the ‘left’ if in reality it’s from the far right.

Tuesday is my birthday and tonight I’m out with some folks to celebrate. There’s and arts festival near us and we went to a local brewery/restaurant in the middle of it to hear a band and enjoy. I absolutely could NOT read the beer menu and forgot my reading glasses…so yeah, that’s awesome. 😬
