These took like 3-4 hours to make. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to sell these for $50ish right?

Finished these oven mitts. Overall I’m happy with them. The curved end with the binding was a bit annoying. Might make it more straight on the next ones. But I really like this pair.

Yup looking so good.

Oscar winner and San Francisco resident Marcia Lucas — the former wife of George Lucas who edited the original “Star Wars,” “American Graffiti” and “Taxi Driver” —  has died.

Found the best insult. Your head is just storage for your teeth, huh?

And of course I run out of thread at 10pm when the stores are closed. Guess early night

I’m making some oven mitts and I don’t know if you known this trick. I just learned it a few weeks ago. I only had to draw my two original lines with chalk, sew them. Then I use masking tape the desired width I want my quilting done and just sew next to that. Easy peasy.

My convocation is next week.

"Father" Norman MacPhee is employed by Holy Cross parish. He was just granted an honorary degree at Cape Breton University. I think both institutions need to know what we think of his praising the genocide of First Nations children undertaken by his church.

A priest at the CBU convocation yesterday said that residential schools were good. Fuck that bastard. They need to take away his honorary degree they gave him.

Just a reminder that @patagonia.com is a terrible company and we shouldn’t support them.

Made a ribbon skirt for my brothers dog. Her name is Angie

I applied for Cunard

I'd REALLY appreciate it if anyone who sees this would try out my text generators so I can iron out any remaining bugs. Please, and thank you! trek.epicrandomness.com

It’s weird to not have deadlines, studying, preparing, or anything related to my exams. 10 years of working to this point and I don’t have to do anything except work now. It’s just so surreal.

Job hunting now

I am doing an exception on my sobriety. I truly think it’s acceptable for me to have a high end champagne to celebrate my passing of my officers exam.

I got extra points for dressing up and wearing my medallion. The transport Canada examiners really like when folks dress up for an oral exam. It’s an interview.

I did it family. Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement. You believed in me even when I didn’t

Next step, chief mate then captain.

I passed. I’m a watchkeeping mate.

Exam in less than 24 hours.

Ugh trying to cancel my subscription to Sirius radio is torture. I’ve been on their chat for an hour trying to get it cancelled

Treaty supersedes Alberta. Suck it separates Alberta.

Non alcoholic drinks are just as expensive as regular alcoholic ones. How am I supposed to save money in this economy?

It’s like that old Scandinavian saying. You can lead a herring to water. But you’ll have to walk very fast or it’ll die.

My car insurance has gone up again. Their excuse was inflation. I’m paying twice as much as I was paying when I first started to pay insure at 18. Clean driving record, no claims. I’m 45. My house insurance is far cheaper. Insurance in NS is a scam.

9 days until my officers exam.

My hairs are out of control, I need to get them cut, but my barber is away for a few weeks.

I’ve always wanted to live in the golden girls house. Me and the boys are doing a golden girls watch through marathon

So figured out that there’s some sort of parasitic voltage happening on my truck. I can’t get it fixed until I start working. So no vehicle for a month or so.

Has anyone read this book yet? I just got it at the thrift store.

Looking forward to reading this again. It’s a great book

I feel like lighting up the murder basement of my house with harsh white light makes it feel even more murdery.

Quiz Time. What song does this come from and what instrument is it written for.

Shop is open again. ko-fi.com/brysonthegay...

Ugh. I think my alternator went on my truck.

Will my oral skills be good enough to pass the exam

I passed my navigation safety 1 exam. I got a 73%

Celebrating my exam pass with some non alcoholic wine

My oral exam is booked for the 18th

Who wants to help me with my oral I’m a bit rusty.

I passed my navigation safety 1 exam. I got a 73%

My exam is tomorrow morning.

Notwithstanding this Rule and Rule 9, if positive mutual identification of the vessels has been made in the Canadian waters of a roadstead, harbour, river, lake or inland waterway,
