🇩🇬 julius is 25

  🇩🇬 ... sitting in the window seat, typing and ochazuke [ green tea version ].

cloudy Eternal not Blue. Rain ? nice and cool tho ' and not stuffy humid. Watered the wildflowers, or soaked them b/ c I got right down to the stalks and soil, not watering over the top

I was thinking [ always dangerous ] while talking to the neighbour cleaning lady [ ncl, from now, that you need to invent or create, constantly. To wit, we were looking at a cardboard drawer stand that I made. Not pretty or even all that useful but a cardboard box with slots for beer flats [ Eagle IPA, of course ] acting as a file structure. Now, I expanded the cut outs to open the storage up

Always be inventing.  follow up. this room, ' computer central ' is being tinkered with  .....

..... a small metal rack, originally was suspended below the shelf arm to the left of the desk on the upright post. Likely, for CD storage? It is now re positioned above the shelf [ tacked w / tape ].
... we shall see said the Zen Master. The rack can hang spare charging cords and pads etc

I brought out a cork bulletin board that was squirreled away [ hidden ? ] and might be a photo display board [ we shall ... .... ... ... Master ]

reporting : the day exploded into sunshine and patchy clouds

Besides re organizing the world, we got out grocery shopping and left $ 200 at Metro. All essentials, batch

Slept after a wedgie snack w/ my coleslaw    ( coleslaw green s, Mayo, fruit cocktail and raisins ) and vitamin G ( aka Guinness).

🇦🇶 23 rd of Julius

  🇦🇶 .... in the window seat and the view is ... high Eternal Blue / full sun .... temperature likely mid 70 s today. Black tea and typing. Both coffee and rice brewing / bubbling

reporting.... night time adventure. Leave the house at 10 :10 PM bound up the street to gas station row [ approx 6 ] for gas price reduction time. Shell station was chock a block at $ 1.60 per L. Noope ! Further on the king of the low price, Pioneer, was $ 1.62 / L BUT 4 cars for 7 bays.
I settled for the 162. 52 L in all. Checking this AM, Pioneer is listed at $1.79. Calculating, gets me $8.50 savings. First time, last time ?

the tale of the fishing trip. enjoyed the day [ or half ]. Fishing from 7:30 to 12 something. 
The upside. We had time for sushi lunch, check. I got home in time for exercise. check. And tired but survivable. Slept extremely well. check

On tea. I find it more re - hydrating or refreshing. Now, hype or real, both coffee and tea are caffeine sources, one is better than the other ?

Anomoly, breakfast was rice ( fresh ), check, and re BBQ d pork ribs. From Bestco, the ribs were FATTY so I figured re heating would render out fat 

Not too healthy but good, satisfying 

sitting and typing w / a coffee. thinking about fishing. For two weeks, I tried to make the new cheapie baitcaster work, no dice. 

I am resolved to get back to basics, using the old dependable three rod carry in the boat. I was attempting to lessen the clobber in the boat. B / c two of the guys bring five rods apiece, nope, three

🐟 jul 22, anomaly in full ....

  🐟... the boro, but reporting,this AM at the Q '. Rain showers and sun w / wind at 12 MPH out of the West mostly and swinging to north in the 11 AM time slot/
I got skunked w/ one probable. Turns out that I have the best average but inconsistent effort 

great day. now, the weather. cloudy to gray skies that showed sun in gaps but allowed rain to sprinkle down

lunch was sushi. fair to good. Rice was soft and wet, fish very good

🌂 21 days in and ....

  🌂 ...... Kaboom ! summer T storms are here. copious rain and yes, the rumble and clash of ' gods bowling '.

tea is steeping and coffee from yesterday ... the morning begins

Monday, 20 July 2026

⛱ twenty days in .....

   ... the ' boro from the window seat ...... high Eternal Blue and holding. does not appear hazy ... however we are still part of the cycle of winds carrying the particles

ochazuke and typing --- coffee on the brew

the outbound trip to N Scarborough. The Plaza is called Chartwell. 3 chunks, one is an indoor mall cum food court and 2 outdoor access pods. A long time favourite in the food court is a kiosk, Yogi s Noodles. 
Thus, lunch was at Yogi s. Beef noodle soup. Egg noodles, tasty broth and chunks of meat [ maybe beef ]. The bowl comes topped w / bak choy. The noodle are firmer than at Magic, less bulk and broth comparable for sure. OK. Compare. Yogi s suit me better. I can barely finish the amount at Magic [ and probably should stop ]

Across the parking lot is Bestco. A huge Asian market w / bakery and takeout food offered. I picked up sushi, roast pork ribs and bananas. Pork irbs are fatty and disappointing BUT I realized that I could cook them again and render out the fat [ lots of fat ]
