He/him. Husband. Dad. IT professional. Beer league goalie. Nerd/Geek. Sci-fi fan. Science FTW. Flatlander living vicariously through you. Eagled a 454yd par 5 once so I’ve got that going for me which is nice. Treaty One Territory of Canada, eh?

POV: you’re standing on your deck, hands on your hips, admiring the view of your straight-lined and freshly cut lawn. Today was a good day to mow.

A view of a lawn cut to the same vanishing point. Beyond is a field of yellow canola under a hazy grey sky.

The new helmet’s here! The new helmet’s here! Thanks again @gettheorion.bsky.social 🍻

A new white goalie helmet with a sticker on the right side

A close up of the sticker with the quote from Galaxy Quest “Never Give Up Never Surrender” and the smiling drawing of Mathesar.

Watching Stargate SG-1 and the two Aschen episodes are still great cautionary tales against technology presented as gifts to humanity. Be careful what you wish for.

Sulu deserved more than a flashback

A scene on the bridge of the USS Excelsior featuring Captain Janeway observing the interaction between Captain Sulu in his chair with a cup and saucer in hand, and Ensign Tuvok standing by ready to pour tea.

From the Star Trek: Voyager episode “Flashback”

Best STAR TREK captain. Wrong answers only.

The stickers were shipped in a nice card with an even better inscription (no spoilers!) I wanted to clean my helmet to attach them but attempts to remove the rusty cage failed. So I’m buying a new helmet for, uh, safety reasons, yeah (extra thanks to The Orion for that assist) 😉 Kinda pumped

On a table are a few objects:

A small card of thanks featuring The Orion’s signature capped and spectacled duck giving the bird (but with a red heart just above it)

Two three inch stickers featuring the Mathesar character described earlier. One is in front of the card.

Beside the card is an old black goalie helmet, with the second sticker temporarily tacked to its side.

Then one day, @gettheorion.bsky.social — an artist whose style I love and who puts out some amazing/funny/cool designs — revealed this glorious bit of work. It’s a bit of a mantra and I had to have it. 2/x

Digital artwork of Mathesar (Enrico Colantoni — Canadian!) from Galaxy Quest over a background of a blue-green planet. Text is superimposed over his head and chest reading “Never give up Never surrender”

So I have this note in my phone for the imaginary day I get my ##BeerLeague goalie helmet painted. One of those “If I win the lottery” ideas even though I don’t play the lottery. 1/x

Helmet Quotes
"Never give up. Never surrender"
"You shall not pass"
"Fear is the mind killer"
"I'm a leaf on the wind"
"Never tell me the odds"

This little bunny is making an adorable mess

A bunny sitting up atop a small spot of exposed earth and eating (maybe) dandelion leaves or roots?

A bunny with its head down, nibbling below the grass, a small track of fresh earth behind

A bunny lifting its head up again and chewing furiously (trust me)

To share what crossed my feeds…

A hand palm up. It is holding two large hail stones, one in the palm, the other across outstretched fingers. There would not be room for a third.

The pork has been pulled and will now be bathed in (even more) chipotle BBQ sauce.

That wind meant business last night

An 8 foot aluminum flag pole lays on a deck, the flag attached at the far end. At the near end, the pole has a 2 inch piece sheared off and laying next to it

“Have you ever asked someone for their autograph?” No but…2006. Vegas. Eating at the Rio and Wil Wheaton and friends sit next to me. “I just want to say: nerdy fan” but we chat a bit more and he ends with, “Want an autograph?” Who says no? I now have my only autograph - on a cap (all I had on me) 😅
