@ChampagneKitty not today but that's a good idea for next time!

The extra hour today certainly helped my productivity. Got my neglected yard into shape and now I'm making an Italian lentil soup for dinner.

Soundgarden's 1988 debut album Ultramega OK is usually overlooked but was quite a pioneering force in shaping the grunge sound that would explode a few years later. Blending elements of churning metal riffs, a punk ethos, and psychedelia the album showcased Chris Cornell's raw, aggressive vocals and Kim Thayil's innovative guitar work influencing the emerging Seattle music scene.

It's a perfect day. Time to get moving

Endsong has to be my fave Cure song right now. That 6 minute intro ... man they sound amazing. And Robert Smith's voice does not age.

"I'm outside in the dark wondering how I got so old"

Besides metal & whisky, my other main interest is #RenewableEnergy, particularly offshore wind. My region of Canada is just beginning to develop this industry. My latest blog post looks at the recent draft Regional Assessment Report on Nova Scotia's Offshore Wind development. I examine the challenges and opportunities facing the emerging industry in Nova Scotia, including regulatory hurdles, consultation, and environmental considerations.

Definitely me. Glad it's Friday

These two are pretty much my annual Halloween playlist while handing out treats. Slow, spooky, and heavy doom vibes for the kids.

@JPSCHWEIZER63 ours started around 5pm. Been a little over an hour and we've had 5 so far

I love Hallowe'en. I love the kids, the costumes, the fun, the candy. All of it.

Love seeing these ships as part of my morning commute across Halifax Harbour. This is the Boskalis semi-submersible heavy load carrier White Marlin with an offshore substation platform likely destined for an offshore wind project in the US.

Fun night at the Woodside Tavern. Both Fluke and The Orchids had some high energy sets.

End of the season. We put our camper away for winter storage today. Didn't get to use it as much this year but we had a lot of fun with it.

@JLong I just love the way he's stacked so many different musical elements. he was only 19 when this came out. quite a mature efort for a young artist.

Also love the use of traditional Sardinian instruments such as the Launeddas (similar sound to a bagpipe). I'm an ex-piper and something about that reedy sound that adds so much depth to this album.
