Spawn are fighting, wife is watching house porn (The Block AUS) so I've put on headphones and will listen to albums via YouTube that friends are posting tonight. Just cracked open this Hazy Days Juicy IPA from Cowbell out of Blyth, ON. Fuck Trump, Fuck ICE, Free Palestine!

Something something #vinyl #nowspinning

No porch beer today since the air quality is still shite so we are enjoying it indoors. Octopus Wants To Fight IPA from Great Lakes Brewery out of Etobicoke. Mosaic hops punches you in the face, notes of grapefruit and pineapple soothe you while going down. #Beersky

Not sure who the artist is or I would give them proper credit. Shared by a friend in that other place. #wildfires

Up next some classic early Toronto punk from The Diodes, this is a first Canadian pressing of their 3rd album from 1980. #vinyl #nowspinning

Air quality is worse today than yesterday but apparently relief as a result of a wind shift and some rain is coming Fri & Sat. Until then... #vinyl #nowspinning

Wildfire smoke is bad outside and my indoor air purifiers (bought last wildfire season) are working overtime. I suspect there will be a Truth Social post sometime tomorrow about how us Canadians have not been raking our forests and deserve additional trade sanctions.

Truly the Greatest Canadian.

Old photos of my Grandfather's General Store in Pelly, Saskatchewan taken around 1911. Some AI enhancement of the old B&W photos I have.

It's Porch Beer Friday. Trying something new today, Orange Dreamsicle Dino Sour from Phillips Brewing. No head at all when poured. Very refreshing and while I'm not usually a fan of sour beers this one hits all the right notes. Would buy again. #Beersky

Good afternoon party people. Dr. Johnny Fever has got the cure for what ails you... the prescription is funk! #vinyl #nowspinning

I think this is his latest album? I'm not familiar with the songs, like many fans I can only sing along to his albums from the 80's. My score from the merch table last night. I'll know them by heart soon enough. #vinyl #nowspinning

Billy played for over 2.5 hours. Well he played for an hour and a half and talked for an hour but that's part of the show. I am leaving feeling energized. As he said, music doesn't change anything, change comes from those of us in attendance knowing we are not alone. Empathy is our superpower.

Mitch McConnell returns to the Senate

Fresh raspberries off the 3 bushes in my back garden. One good thing this heat wave gave us was getting these ripe. I should be able to harvest a cup per day for the next week or so before they will be done for the season.

The heat wave has broken 'slightly' here today. Not enough to do yard work but at least I don't feel like I'm dying while walking the pups. #vinyl #nowspinning

Happy Treason Day to the ungrateful colonials. I had to pick out just the right t-shirt. Municipal Waste.

I can't beat the heat so I'm just going to pretend I'm in on a beach in Jamaica with a bottle of Red Stripe and a fat spliff. #vinyl #nowspinning

These Pixies B-sides from the 80's and 90's still sound so fresh and awesome. One of my favorite bands of all time (at least until 2013) and yes I absolutely still simp for Kim Deal. #vinyl #nowspinning

Enjoying my day off by staying indoors and doing some chorin' around the house. #vinyl #nowspinning

Jumping on the #FallFriday bandwagon with their A-Sides Collection. #vinyl #nowspinning

Porch Beer Thursday. Still hot and humid as sweaty taint here and uncomfortable to be outside at all. Enjoying another fruit beer, this time 'Barry White' Raspberry Wheat from Sons of Kent out of Chatham, ON. It is light at 4% so perfect for days like today. #beersky

Continuing the nostalgia kick while the youngest spawn has been tasked with dinner prep. I'm told it is going to be 'fancy tuna melt' which apparently means fish not from a can and fresh bread from the local bakery. #vinyl #nowspinning

Logging out early. I had to work on Canada Day but I get tomorrow in lieu and really looking forward to it. Recently picked up this 35th anniversary pressing and since I started this week thinking about these songs seemed fitting to end it that way as well. #vinyl #nowspinning

It's oppressively hot and gross outside but I braved it long enough to enjoy a porch beer for Canada Day. Not usually a fan of fruit beers but this Strawberry Blonde from Tomorrow Brewing out of Toronto was perfect for cutting the humidity. #beersky

This is your new God #vinyl #nowspinning

Posting without Comment.

The rescue pup aka 'Crazy Daisy the Meth Dog' has settled into our home quite well. #dogsky

Floyd almost put me to sleep so a change of pace is needed. "WHO THE FUCK CARES ABOUT SOME ROCK IN THE MILKY WAY GALAXY?" #vinyl #nowspinning

Spent most of the morning cleaning the house followed by the gardens. Things get pretty bad around here when I travel for extended periods. Now for some afternoon relaxation before the World Cup games tonight. #vinyl #nowspinning
