Making moose pies from the last of our moose meat until who knows when. Just gave the filling a taste test and b'ys I think I've outdone myself!

When is Wester?

Quite the sky out the front window this evening.

One for the local SJ folks (or visitors!): Just tried the new Middle Eastern place at the bottom of Somerset - Tasty Corner. Let's just say it lives up to its name. Make your way there ASAP, you will not regret it. tastycorner.ca.

3.09 Goals Saved Above Expected 36 saves on 37 shots. He's the seventh ranked goalie in the league now with tonight's GSAE Dobes. Remarkable.

For real though give Dobeš the Calder all he does is be fantastic

Just got a long overdue reminder that Black Mountain can be pretty great youtu.be/Lgo9VXY8PCc?...

Dobeš right up there with some prettttttty fine company

Buongiorno.

As Steve Earle has repeatedly cautioned, when traveling with the instrument it is best not to tell TSA that the case in your hand contains a bouzouki. Just say a "mandolin."

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her. Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day

Really great interview/conversation here between Billy Corgan & Melissa Auf der Maur. If you're like me & grew up in the 90s listening to the likes of the Smashing Pumpkins, Hole, Nirvana, and their counterparts, you'll probably dig this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6sb...

Spring has sprung The grass has riz I wonders where The flowers is

Another fantastic Friday care of @1001albumsgen.bsky.social. This time with an entirely new-to-me-band, The Soft Boys. Loving this initial listen. Give it a go!

Finally got around to checking out Angine de Poitrine. All I can say is

Massive OT winner vs a Bruins team breathing down their neck in the playoff race. Caufield the first Hab to score 40 in a season in 32 years! It's about time!

The latest pain in the ain in our household: Went to a Sea Dogs game over the weekend. Bought some snacks. The debit machine acted up & we had to try 3 times for it to go through. The next day, noticed 3 charges for the transaction. Now in the process of trying to get it fixed. WELLLLLLL....

Twice now in the past couple of weeks that I've started the cooking process only to find ingredients bought at Superstore 2-3 days prior has gone moldy. Bag of lemons the other week, naan bread just now.

Listened to the infamous Trout Mask Replica for the 1st time this week, care of @1001albumsgen.bsky.social. Apparently I have a brain that is fascinated by this kinda thing and wants to give it the numerous listens needed to get it, rather than being horrified by its absolute discordant chaos.

Now that's what I call a Friday album! @1001albumsgen.bsky.social bringing on the weekend in style.

Post your favourite Lord of the Rings character, wrong answers only:

Is Sam Montembeault near-sighted? Legit wondering.

A minute into the game, 3 shots on net, 3 goals, 1 timeout, 1 successful offside review, 1-1 game. Yowzers, Habs.

It's been known to happen

My mom might have all the documents I need to submit for German citizenship confirmation. Her birth certificate, marriage license, her passport from when I was born. I figured I had dealing with German municipality records offices in my future, but turns out mom might have me covered!

Possibly a pointless endeavour, but just spent about 30 mins starting to tackle the snow in case I have to drive the kids to school in the morning. Pretty good drifts out there, roughly 2-3 feet. You're welcome, kids, I just guaranteed school will be cancelled.

So turns out I am quite likely a German citizen.

I officially have no clue how they determine school snow days. Last Month: Active blizzard conditions with quite a bit of snow down and nasty, unplowed roads? Sorry kids, get to school! Today: No snow til afternoon with ~2-3cm called for by end of school day, roads currently clear? SNOW DAY!

Went for a walk and had a good chance to decompress from the game & from Olympic hockey as a whole. First & foremost, saw kids playing hockey out on the ice at Lily Lake. That right there is the heartbeat of hockey, and will continue to be what it's all about, no matter what the pros do. THREAD:

The americans commemorating a key moment in the game by having all of their players out on the ice

He may not have won gold, but Connor McDavid absolutely shattering the world record for # of Tkachuk hands shaken after losing a championship game to them.

Alright China you can come take the hockey away anytime now ALL IT DOES IS BRING ME PAIN

Maybe my favourite hockey viewing experience came 24 years ago in the MacKenzie House lounge @ UNB, watching Canada win the gold medal over the americans with @teflonsteve.bsky.social & about 100 more Canadians (and 1 american). Arrived ~6hrs early to secure a couch seat. One of the best games ever.

Suzuki vs Slafkovsky Olympic final anyone? Make it so, Slovakia.

BLEED! BLEED!

If I've learned one thing from these past 2 days of Olympic hockey, DO NOT have the lead late in a game. Nothing good comes from it.

3-on-3 OT in a gold medal game is an abomination, but let's make it a victorious abomination!

15 years ago today what would go onto become my favourite album was released into the world. Immediately liked it, continue to love it. Hard to believe it's already been 15 years, but simultaneously also feels like it's been with me for much longer. Haven't heard anything like it before or since.

What's your favourite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long? "They Are Night Zombies!! They Are Neighbors!! They Have Come Back from the Dead!! Ahhhh!" by Sufjan Stevens. (Ok maybe not my FAVOURITE long-titled song, but it's a great tune and I mean, bonus points for that title)

This Super Bowl Sunday, I’d like to introduce you all to the magical curse bowls used in Upper Mesopotamia and Syria in late antiquity. Written in Mandaic (as here) or Syriac Aramaic, they trap demons who trespass on a household by sucking them in with spiraling spells to the center of the bowl.

Olympic Athlete: Does something incredibly impressive that nobody reading or writing this could ever dream of pulling off. Olympic Commentator: Oh no, they came up short with that one. How disappointing for them.

"This Olympics features, for the first time in history, the lighting of not one cauldron...BUT 2 CAULDRONS!"

Repost with a photo of yours that would make a good album cover. #photography

What do you mean I have to go 3+ weeks in February without the Habs?!?

A Gallagher goal streak? A Gallagher 3 point night? In 2026?!

Took a month+ to get to it but finally turning the Christmas turkey remains into soup. Smells some good in this house I tell ya.
