If you ever get the chance, Cape Breton is incredible for scenery and food. :+1: :lobster:

Nova Scotia? (Or NB?)
So I was toldā€¦
They had students from a small Caribbean Island at some point in time. You know, the kind you can drive the perimeter in half a day. Drove a part, a ā€œpartā€, of the Cabot Trail. Of course they absolutely loved the scenery but once back at the college they wanted to see what part of Canada they traveled on the mapā€¦ :sweat_smile:
A dot !!!

Apparently the channel is something to navigate. Only one ship at a time and you still have the tides and winds to figure out. ā€œA real wind funnelā€ she said. As for the weather. I had to send her the pic or she wouldnā€™t beleive me.:joy:

This. The north-eastern peninsula. And then you can drop down to Bras Dā€™Or (I think I spelled that correctly?) and check out the AG Bell museum there.

#5311

New Spelling for me but make a lot of sense. Searchedā€¦ Different roads and placesā€¦Neat. Found the museum. Near Baddeck! That I heard of! Lobster is great. :wink:
Bonus fact: We had a beer named Bradord in QuĆ©bec. (Possibly outside.) Back then it was a ā€œstong beerā€ at something like 5.8 6.0% :grin::joy::rofl: Used to make fun of our Friends/visitors from either Ontario or ā€œNew Englandā€ (You know, the northeast States.)
Not only it was available right next to your door. (Id being rarely asked for too. Then.) But they got so drunk so fast!
Oh the fun we had in those daysā€¦
Anyone have a Tylenol? :face_with_raised_eyebrow: Not a teen anymoreā€¦

Finished up with Subnautica. Inspired me to work on my backlog, weā€™ll see what I do next.

How long did it take you?

#5315

Not sure in terms of hours, since I tend to leave things running, but I picked it up a bit more than a week ago. Maybe forty-ish hours? I wasnā€™t exactly efficient though.

Turns out Subnautica is completely unplayable on XB1 because after the first save it will not save again, and the game eventually locks up. It looks like the same issue as Bethesda games - you keep getting told thereā€™s no room, even though thereā€™s plenty of room on your local drive.

Anything else I want to say would more properly be in the ā€œThings that made me rantā€ thread (if there is one). Which would be cathartic, but not necessarily constructive.

My condolences, hopefully theyā€™ll fix it.

Iā€™m off to see Infected Mushroom for the first time ever. Iā€™ve always managed to miss them. Here I go ->

Sunshine! Two days of it! And almost no wind.

And teeny tiny green buds on my forsythia (which normally blooms in late February but it hasnā€™t really hit freezing yet this winter, so might get an early bloom).

This time of year when we get these rare breaks of sunshine it feels like food to me.

So Iā€™ve had the house to myself for the first time in a few weeks, itā€™s New Yearsā€™, and Iā€™m feeling really good for the first time in awhile. Did dishes, folded laundry. Got some good progress in Dark Souls earlier, and finally watched the Cowboy Bebop movie.

Alone time is good.

Stop snickering. : D

Blue skies, sunshine, no wind, and a moderate temperature for the time of year. (The last of those is quite surprising given the blue skies - normally it would have to be a lot colder to get those.)

Also, these (even if the tins do keep getting smaller):

Those are hard to find out this way! Most of the time Iā€™ve found decent curds (meaning : actually fresh) theyā€™re in tiny packages and expensive.

Note to non-Canadians : poutine is a national food - specific to Quebec - and requires fresh cheese. They squeak!

Can be found inā€¦ Wisconsin! Where they, you guessed it, deep fry them! :smiley:
They donā€™t make poutine though. :wink: Or a very strange variation.

-edit- Just looked at @Jefe Wiki link. Approved by this proud Quebecer!
Wouldnā€™t give much credit to the Princeville claim though. Even if the Princeville ā€œcheese plantā€ make the best cheese curds. Everyone know that. :wink:

That part:
" Today, it is often identified as quintessential Canadian food and has been called ā€œCanadaā€™s national dishā€, though some believe this labelling represents misappropriation of QuĆ©bĆ©cois culture".
Really make me laugh. Because itā€™s true. Kinda. So many years being made fun at for it. (All good. we make fun of them too. ) Then the next day itā€™s their dish! :laughing:

And yes. It squeak !
