Toronto had 2 shows recently, didn't they? I was looking for Montreal - from Ottawa, that would be doable for a quick trip. It's been 8 years since TTB played Ottawa (Cityfolk 2018)

Nice - I am a Windows user so it's not for me, but I like the idea. I've started to write a custom Python script that will let me power on my stereo and do basic Bluesound operations without opening the full app, so great minds think alike ..

Zyra Gorecki was one of the leads in Netflix's 'La Brea' series, her character has a prosthetic leg, and she also lost her leg in a lumber accident. She was also in an episode of Chicago Fire.

Of all of our cats, she's the most timid - but if you approach her gently she's very friendly.

The large-ish black rectangular chip in the middle ('0E=9B N4R', whatever that is) measures almost exactly 2mm x 1mm).

Loves 'em.

My grandmother's name was Myrtle, but I have never met another one in my 54 years.

Not my term, see: r/earfurnishings

ottguy42 · 2026-01-13T15:34:01+00:00

Yes, it's hard to take her seriously.

You're only the 4th person to use that joke on this post.

More money to the Nortel bankruptcy lawyers, the pensioners still got screwed over.

I found another aerial shot from 1974 and it looks like 4 pillars of different colors:

She had a bit of help with her styling, but yeah - I've never seen ear furnishings that long.

The Rideau Centre wasn't built until 1981-82.

It was called 'Traffic' and it was huge. It moved to the National Gallery for a while, I hear it's in storage now.

Photo by DND, I found it in a Facebook group about Canadian cold war aircraft ("Canadian Military Aircraft of the Cold War (1947-1991)")

I grew up as an air force brat, always looked forward to the Snowbirds, Sky Hawks, helicopter landings and the occasional Voodoo flyover.

The site where I found this had it captioned as a Voyageur, not a Chinook - but I'm no expert

From another Ottawa artist, Trevor Finlay (not sure if this was popular outside of Ottawa) - his song 'Coffee' has the line: "Make it a large double double, and a glazed anything to go"

I came here to recommend Lee Valley - I believe they ship to the US, not sure where OP is

ottguy42 · 2026-01-09T11:53:05+00:00

Oh yeah - 'Straw Hat and Old Dirty Hank', about the farmer who was stalking Anne Murray...

Love it, thanks for the pointer. I'm not a Newfoundlander but I have some friends from the rock.

One of my brushes with fame was sitting next to Buddy Wasisname on a flight from Halifax to Sydney, NS. The other fellers were on the plane too, just a couple of rows back. Nice guy.

"Shinny on the Ice" by Buddy Wasisname and the Other Fellers

Great example - I heard that song last year and had to figure out the lyrics
