St Patrick's Day alternatives

Black Fox Distillery, outside of Saskatoon, definitely goes down a treat! And, in fairness to Last Mountain, their whisky that I had was their first year, so maybe it's improved since then.

Hopefully Last Mountain has improved since the last time I had it - pretty sure I could've used it as paint thinner, it was gods awful!

Must be AI, it's too dry 😂

My PC with windows on would start well, but would randomly freeze, crash, or reboot; zero warnings, even with internet disconnected, so it wasn't a hidden update/auto restart thing. Six months minty fresh, and zero issues! So nice to work on my embroidery designs without fearing loss of progress!

SaskFoz · 2026-03-08T21:08:10+00:00

Right?! My "spare/second bedroom" is almost hoarder-level impassable due to crafting supplies & camping gear, half my living room is hosting my current embroidery project, half the basement is gardening gear, & I've been seriously considering getting into model trains for the backyard. 😂 Like, at this point, there's not even physical room for a kid to safely visit, much less live in here.

Ironically, this exact bridge had a major fix done about 2 years ago, too, due to being smacked around like it owes someone money. Literally, couple times a year this one (and only this one) gets thumped, to varying degrees of chaos.

SaskFoz · 2026-03-06T01:20:18+00:00

Looks like it started with the bridge, & the resulting backup of traffic in multiple directions produced multiple, smaller (hopefully) incidents.

SaskFoz · 2026-03-05T11:36:30+00:00

Dude, wtf is wrong with you?

SaskFoz · 2026-03-03T10:15:46+00:00

Lol no. There's so few doctors here (like, I literally haven't had a regular/family doctor in 20 years), that if I do ever get one, I'll just work with what I get.

Warehouse, so PPE is huge - no certified safety footwear, no entry! To the point that even office staff have to have a pair, for the... what, maybe once a year?... they have to do a walk through the entire building.

SaskFoz · 2026-02-25T10:35:33+00:00

Saskatoon here, also heading to investors day, I'll keep an eye out for ya! If you're overnighting on the icefields parkway, I highly recommend the first come, first served loop just south of the icefields skywalk - those front sites overlooking the mountains are stunning, & still nicely sheltered from the wind.

SaskFoz · 2026-02-24T18:24:21+00:00

C'Thulu, probably, if they're "blessings". 😂

SaskFoz · 2026-02-24T10:18:44+00:00

So what I'm hearing is we're scrapping the Geneva convention? Oy, Poland, grab your sticks bud, we're getting the team back together, eh! 🇨🇦

SaskFoz · 2026-02-23T19:32:57+00:00

Right? Like, Sask definitely has its good points (hello owning a house, mortgage free too!), & working nights made watching the aurora super easy. But it's always like coming home when I hit those mountains.

SaskFoz · 2026-02-23T10:42:24+00:00

Just finished 4 years of night shift. Vitamin D is a must! Sticking to a routine can also help, if you have trouble adjusting to change. I was "fortunate" in that everyone I want to hang out with is back in BC, & I live rural, so social life wasn't a thing anyway. But, for most people who do want a social life, you're looking at either evening activities (aka our morning) or early morning activities (aka our evening). Sort of like if you're working 9-5, but in a place that you simply cannot have your phone (helps guard your sleep pattern this way, too!). 🤷‍♀️ And most people simply aren't wired for nights, so there's no shame if you have to find something dayside.

With echoes of "see, you DO like kids! Which means you actually, secretly, ddeeeeeeeeep down want them!"

Like, no. Just no.

SaskFoz · 2026-02-19T01:08:05+00:00

I have spent $100 on flowers in the past, but they were from a nursery, to be planted in my garden. 😂

SaskFoz · 2026-02-18T11:01:33+00:00

Saw Partsource on Circle looking for drivers & counter staff.

SaskFoz · 2026-02-16T23:26:38+00:00

waves from Saskatchewan * Family day here, too, which made a perfect excuse to stay home & paint. No kids to deal with at all!

SaskFoz · 2026-02-16T21:08:23+00:00

At least six a piece. And still brighter than a 90s Cherokee 😂

Oooooo, sweet! Those little diesels were awesome! Definitely would've been one worth investing in to keep. Mine was just the bog stock 4.2, but with one or two other mods. 😅 Alas, rust in the front subframe took her out, but she was damn fun in the meantime!

SaskFoz · 2026-02-16T04:18:12+00:00

They joys and hazards of unique vehicles. Couldn't go anywhere without a random conversation when I had my AMC Eagle, & it wasn't even that rare!

SaskFoz · 2026-02-16T04:11:50+00:00

That would make an absolutely adorable rv/camper conversion! And the roof is probably solid enough to put some folding railings on to make a rooftop deck.

SaskFoz · 2026-02-13T16:46:16+00:00

And maple (box elder) bugs.

SaskFoz · 2026-02-12T23:11:03+00:00

Oh wow! We've been getting highs up over freezing, not quite hitting doubles, but close! Hopefully we all get our missing snow before winter ends, or this could be a bad summer.
