Good to have old friends!

Had? Did you cut it down to count the rings?

Man, I just had the best drive to Canmore. It's looking so beautiful right now. Was by myself in my car. Music loud. Following a dude who had his cruise set at an ambitious speed, so he was going to be taking any heat. Left lane/right lane was operating perfectly.

Around the casino I swapped and went in front to take my turn leading. Dude knew exactly what I was doing, so that was cool.

Then at Lac Des Arcs I had a blast around those curves. 10/10. Was such a treat to have a fun drive start to finish and everyone did everything right for smooth, stress-free sailing. Ahhhhh.

I picked my son and a bunch of his friends up from a party at 2am last night

I’ve know them a long time and coach them all in rugby.

What an absolutely wicked fun 20 min car ride

The boys had me laughing

Although i feel uncomfortable laughing at another's misfortune, this incident at Chestermere Lake suggests I am not alone in my screw-ups...

Watching your kids achieve their goals is amazing.

The boy was drafted to the QMJHL on Saturday. The day was stressful as hell but in the end seeing that smile on his face and landing in a great spot was just awesome and kudos to the Q for still holding an in person draft, so stressful but hearing his name called, walking down to be greeted by your new team and pulling on the jersey is an experience he and I will never forget.

Went out east to visit my sister, and since I had never been to Labrador and NEwfoundland, I took that route there - I have now been to all provinces.


Man, what a ride that was... two long stretches of dirt roads in Quebec, including one that twists in and around the water with no railings, with transports blowing by you drifting on the turns because of the mud. Speed limit of 70 but no one going 70. Often no car for long periods of time. It felt like driving in a rally race.


Labrador is gorgeous, but no cell no anything, and if you break down, there are phone booths like 50 km apart. No signs of civilization for hours which was really awesome. Loved NEwfoundland but didn't get to St John because the ferry from Argentia wasn't running yet. Would totally do again.


I don't know if I could live on the east coast, but it's such an awesome place.

Had an appointment in Okotoks this morning so made sure to wash my car while I was here.

Ah, much better. It had literally never been that dirty before, was driving me nuts

Since its high in 2022 in April, telus stock has lost 39.69% in value and is now cratering in 20's. Could be 19 dollars a share by week end, inshallah.

Darren Entwhistle is a piece of ####, and it's nice to see his rampant off shoring isn't being rewarded. I hope the board crucifies him.

As per tradition, it happened soon after i decided to finally buy in and believe that Telus could be a canadian blue chip.

D'Oh.

Nothing really to do with offshoring, mostly having to do with increased cost of capital, lack of growth and maintaining the dividend. BCE/RCI are also in the same boat.

wrmmh is stuff with my old truck. i've got an '89 chevy 1500 stepside that i still absolutely love.
i found a video of a guy showing some new taillights that just came out and they are awesome. i tried to buy a set but the company only shipped to the usa. i contacted the company and they sent me a link so i could order some and have them shipped to canada (only an extra $10 to ship to canada - oh heck yea!)

i've also got new headlights/turn lights that i bought late last year but haven't had the time to install yet... so pretty soon the truck is going to have a 'face and tail' lift! ha!

this is the video that shows the tail lights - you're definitely going to want to skip to the 10 minute mark becuz the dude is annoying.
he has the same head/turnlights i bought last year and you can see those at the 11:18 mark

As someone who worked at the company for 15 years and touched nearly aspect of the company in my role, no, the rampant off shoring was a huge part of the business struggles and day to day problems. Organizational rot like you wouldn't believe. You would call me a liar with some of these stories. I don't accept Bell and Rogers are good comparables because both are massively invested in media in ways telus is not.

We had it for a while but got out, the performance was rather disappointing - I figured that Nvidia had better upside.
