For All Your Pipeline Condition Assessment and Leak Detection Needs
I’m sure that if I had muncipal water assets to manage, I’d use the Pressure Pipe Inspection Company (PPIC) | Pipeline Condition Assessment and Leak Detection to detect money-wasting leaks …
(So, Norvin, was that enough of an incoming link for you? You said you were desparate …) -
I’m all about the Black Sesame Soy Drink
Seriously, Sahmyook Black Sesame Soy Drink is amazing. A really rich, nutty, smoky flavour. It’s quite hard to come by – I bough a case of the tiny cartons today for $25 in P.A.T. Market East.I think it would be a hit if marketed to non-Korean folks. Sahmyook have an office in Thornhill, so the revolution starts there.

531 would never do this …
Busted Carbon shows some fancy broken bikes. Never ride anything that doesn’t have metal to metal contact.

tasty korean noms
… can be had locally from P.A.T. Market East, at 1973 Lawrence Avenue E (near Warden). Black sesame soymilk is me. All I need now is the fabulous Korean steel chop sticks and spoon combo, and my utensil joy is complete.

mercifully gore free
So I shaved with an open razor for the first time today. Not a proper hollow-ground steel, but a shavette, which is a handle that takes regular rzor blades split in half. With only one tiny cut, I managed to kinda get a proper shave, but it was slow. The ergonomics of it are weird; to hold it comfortably, you can barely see the blade in the mirror.
I had to finish off shaving with my regular Merkur.

Proclamations
Take heed, fell people of Storex: may your website forever remain broken for the crime of putting a tamper-resistant product sticker on the front of my filing cabinet. The hour spent removing its tiny sticky shards was not a pleasant one, nor will it be one I get back, mark my words.
Know this, excellent people of Scraperite: your blades of finest vorpal plastic cut through the sticky clogging evil like enchanted senna through a dwarven granny.

wildlife and environs

dim bulb by the RT track 
ducts and buses 
easter bunny unsurprisingly 
first groundhog 
second groundhog 
a delightful industrial scene 
abandoned rona

sheepsfoot wasteland (the abandoned donut shop has quite a history)
I also saw and heard a woodpecker: local woodpecker.

the perils of tidyness
The cleaner at work threw away one of my My-Kaps, which allow you to reuse your Keurig K-Cups. This is annoying, as I’d just bought two, and only having one is a pain. They never usually tidy my desk (I think I’ve lost three “Please tidy your desk for cleaning” slips in the strata) so this is mystifying and annoying.

too many instruments
I just counted, and found out that my instrument collection has 115 strings. I think I should thin the herd.

acme of acmes
Acme Burger‘s second location at Bloor near Bathurst is just as awesome as the Queensway one.
