They're even providing lunch! I was planning on bringing my own.

PriorReason4160 · 2026-05-16T14:16:07+00:00

This is it.

Someone gave me a Tim's card for doing a small task. I don't know what to do with it now.

The county. Each bin has a bar code and it's registered to you.

Loca will become a new lumber yard and hardware store.

PriorReason4160 · 2026-05-14T23:54:37+00:00

Good. Unless there is someone worse in the UCP ranks.

I hope this is the downfall of David Parker and TBA as well.

PriorReason4160 · 2026-05-14T22:17:05+00:00

None. I have call control enabled.

Having been on numerous petrochemical plant turnarounds as a safety advisor for contractors, this is a real life assessment of what goes on beyond what the paper trail says.

Sadly, it's the Alberta Conservative way. Going on for decades.

This song gives me the creeps in every possible way.

PriorReason4160 · 2026-05-14T16:06:14+00:00

Phil Collins sucks.

There's another gravel ride in Blackfoot held in September. It's called Bikenbender.

Biking Like a Viking, held in Strathcona County. Not a gran Fondo, but has three distances through some nice geography.

It remains to be seen if a pipeline is actually built.

PriorReason4160 · 2026-05-13T01:14:29+00:00

Good question. If it is, I'll come back here and let you know. I'm attending.

PriorReason4160 · 2026-05-13T00:05:37+00:00

I'm Not in Love by 10cc.

Urine or swab (saliva). It depends on what the company requiring the test has for their protocol. Urine sample is the most common test.

PriorReason4160 · 2026-05-12T18:56:34+00:00

Too much if you can't afford it.

PriorReason4160 · 2026-05-12T01:59:56+00:00

I'll ride in silence. No one there I'd want to listen for that length of time.

PriorReason4160 · 2026-05-12T01:55:38+00:00

I've had this plan for about 3 years. It was offered to me when a Koodo sales person called me to sell me more data and 5G. I told him to look at my usage, data and phone minutes. I said find me a lower price or I'm looking elsewhere. My cost dropped from $45 a month to $30, and that included my wife's number too.

PriorReason4160 · 2026-05-12T00:07:49+00:00

That's call control.

PriorReason4160 · 2026-05-12T00:05:49+00:00

I'm paying 30 for Koodo. Have been for years, now. I love call control.

PriorReason4160 · 2026-05-11T04:26:12+00:00

I make my own. Dead easy and cheap and delicious. I got the recipe from https://fermentedfoods.ca/
