‘Twas a perfect morning for walksies! Dude is quite pleased with himself for taking me on a 3k stroll. 😅

Bruce Dust@conductordust· Jul 19

With the good air quality and nice temperature (~14C), Benny insisted on his walk this AM.

Benny took me for a nice stroll before the humidity returned to #LdnOnt.

Happy Saturday Fuzzy! Benny is happily holding down his cooling mat after our walk.

Bruce Dust@conductordust· Jul 3

Ain’t no way that little truck is sufficient. 😂🍻🤘

And the temp. dipped. While I can hear thunder to the SE, just got a short burst of rain.

Bruce Dust@conductordust· Jul 1

Feels like a thunderstorm is headed our way. P

These #gin drinks are actually pretty tasty. You can taste the fruit juice, no overwhelming aspartame flavour, and just enough carbonation to give it a refreshing effervescence. Only downside is that it’s gone in 2 drinks. 😂

Happy Canada Day! Already a warm one in #LdnOnt. Benny (doing some heavy duty panting) hopes you have a beauty day. 🍻🤘🎇

6 year old, white with tan markings and black freckles, rough-coat Saint Bernard named Benny. He is sitting, with his tongue hanging out, in front of a Canadian flag on the edge of someone’s suburban lawn.

It is obnoxious! I was sweating just reading ~40pgs out on the porch. (Glad I don’t still work outside!) Benny will be holding down his cooling mats today.

Finally getting to this #arbitration award (citation in ALT text). The decision is about whether employers (via their chosen insurers) ending LTD benefits at 65 is disrriminatinatory under BC’s Human Rights Code. Doubtful this ends with the inevitable judicial review.

Got Benny’s walk in early to beat the heat. Now happily panting away, the dude is rotating between wooden floors and his cooling mat.

Rainbow in the skies over London, Ontario. Rainbow seen between two maple trees.

Benny says G’morning’!

Take that work week!

Also have a few vehicles I really like. Your pick is a great one! Mine would be the ‘63 split window.

Ugh…travelling backwards, as I did going to TO. 15yrs facing forwards (on the head-end) and this feels…weird. #VIA

Post a show that starts with the letter B.

No cars…we can cross the street now.

Some Saturday Night Jazz to go with a few porch pints. 🍻🤘 www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Shower not needed today. 😂 Now coffees and wet dog smell.

Senior Slobber got his Victoria Day off to a great start with a walk, before it gets too warm. #LdnOnt.

Coffee break.

Holding my red coffee mug (yes, with coffee in it) and short cigar in my left hand on my porch. Another chair visible in back left of photo with evergreen tree in back right.

Bruce Dust@conductordust· May 11

Seems accurate.

Auntie Emm…Auntie Emm? May as well have a BRBN and stogie and watch the storm. #TornadoWarning
