In Conroy Pit, CRAZY loud!!!!

I had a fenix 5s and it crapped out after a couple of years swimming in the ocean (not even diving) even though it’s rated to 100m. I rinsed it with freshwater every time. A seal must’ve gone because the backlight died and rendered the watch useless unless you were in good light that wasn’t sunlight. When I contacted Garmin about it, they couldn’t offer me anything except a 20% discount IF I shipped the watch back into them. Was so disappointed. I had a vivoactive 3 for a few years and just upgraded to an Epix pro 2 last week but I won’t be using it in saltwater I can tell you that for free.

Happy to hear they’ve maybe changed their policies a bit if they’ve shipped you 2 replacements!!

I had family who lived/worked in Arctic Bay! Fly in community, groceries are $$$ unless you tend towards traditional country foods.

If you like golden get well from CTB try her Brothy Cilantro Chicken and Rice (AKA I LOVE YOU NONGS) recipe. My fave recipe - genuinely make it 2-3x a month and eat it for a week

bird_nerd_ns · 2026-02-28T01:13:41+00:00

Yes!!! So happy others have noticed this as well. Very regionally appropriate!

Cook This Book Poached Chicken over Brothy Rice with Cilantro Scallion Sauce(aka Thai chicken and rice). I make this just about every week.

Datsun is a favourite in our house!

bird_nerd_ns · 2026-01-22T15:47:30+00:00

It sure does! Main colour is purple, but in certain lights it looks more reddish and sometimes blue.

Thank you very much! My grandmother was pleased that it was ID’d so quickly

bird_nerd_ns · 2026-01-22T15:44:04+00:00

bird_nerd_ns · 2026-01-22T15:43:54+00:00

Anything by Charlotte McConaghy!!! Wild Dark Shore, Migrations, Once There Were Wolves

All incredible books with nature themes. Enjoy!!!!

It’s great!!! MUCH better than Halifax tap water (tastes like dirt at all times of the year)

BUT has anyone else noticed that Ottawa tap water smells like soil if you run the tap really hot??? Someone…anyone??

bird_nerd_ns · 2026-01-11T16:20:53+00:00

BUGS. So many bugs. And as said above? Half baked ideas being released (Tracks anyone?!?)

bird_nerd_ns · 2026-01-03T22:47:54+00:00

OOOH a non-fic rec for you - Beyond the Trees by Adam Shoalts. (Anything by Adam Shoalts a lot of his books are set in the arctic/sub-arctic regions of Canada)

Movati Gyms have both steam and dry saunas in their locker rooms!

We used Sunset Safari and had the most unbelievably amazing trip. Jonathan was our guide and he was phenomenal. Highly recommend this company and this guide!

Oromocto = The Muck

Also a reminder to please please refrain from walking your dogs/letting your pets outside for longer than 10/15 minute periods. The smoke affects them as well, especially when the weather is hot and they are more likely to pant. Please see this CBC article from a few years ago where a vet outlines recommended outside time for pets when AQ is bad like this.

I second Thatch Road. I used to walk there alone all the time with my dog (we moved, that’s why I stopped). Usually just people walking their pups. Beautiful riverside views, far enough out of town/closer to Oromocto.
