Hey Steeker,

Yeah, it was good to see you at the Bike Show. Sorry I didn't recognize you...that was a bit embarrassing...I'm bad at that.

The pigeons were nested in a planter box that I picked up off the ground 20 stories down from here in December. Probably fell off of someone else's balcony. Still had soil in it. Not sure if there was anything toxic in there, but I was hoping to use it for planting some flowers in the spring. Today I threw it all out since it was full of crap, dead pigeons, etc.

As much as I liked having the pigeon chick, I don't really want them to nest on my balcony. They make a real vile mess. I spent alot of time out there last summer, and this year I'd like to try some more balcony gardening.

Pigeons are a hoot to watch...I love watching them swoop around in huge flocks between the buildings out here. Their mating dances are hilarious. Beautiful colours too.

I just don't them pooping all over my stuff. :-)

Oh yeah...next year...ice races...I hope I can make it there! I'd love to build an ice racer recumbent, and also try my hand at the rubber race.

Sorry you lost your little bird. The nest looks like it is in a
planter perhaps the chick ate something toxic from the box? . Next time put a clean box there with dried grass and stuff,

What about the Forks of the Credit Prov. Park??
I am not sure if that is convenient for you, but it came to mind as far as Parks within the Burbs.

The way I see it, camping rules and commuting sucks, so camputing is a way to get more camping and less commuting. This doesn't work if I'm all the way out in Kanata. The point is to be really close to work!

I guess if you're "bike touring" to work, that's no longer commuting. But in that case, it had better be an awfully nice ride, through the countryside or something. Again, Corkstown doesn't cut it.

I wonder what shopping malls they're talking about?

Great, now that this is on your blog we have to do it! OK, you camp at Bronte Creek, and I'll camp at, um, Rideau Heights Campsite. Oh well, at least it's close to work.

Yeah, I can make chive omlettes with ingredients exclusively grown on my balcony. :)

The eggs haven't hatched yet, but apparently it takes about 18 days. So I should be expecting to see some baby pigeons very soon.

Count me in. That would rock.

Yeah, I always like going out there. But next time I might wait until the cold winds have died down. :) Or if I go in the winter again, I'd live to see it when it's totally covered in snow and frozen over.

Yeah, I only recently found out about the gmap-pedometer's elevation function, so this is the first bike ride I plotted. My commute also looks hillier online than it feels like when riding it.

Google rules. It's so neat that they opened up Google Maps for other people to hack other useful application with.

Yeah, that front fender has been working pretty well so far. It's just coroplast, duct tape, and zip ties! I need to extend it up past the front forks though. I still get some spray kicked up in my face.

Hmmm...there may be quite a few sources of good, free coroplast all over the place after January 23rd!

nope, couldn't log in to comment.. I almost alway sblock cookies unless I know they're necessary. It's ok, I forgive ya.

I'm up to workin and learning sideshow stuff and helping my g/f with her career, and drinking a lot of beer and being antisocial, pretty much. Still haven't replaced my stolen bike but really need to before summer. That 17" is killing me. I almost snagged a bargain off propertyroom.com at one point but was a little short on cash at the time.

tch..never thought I'd see the day that I had to accept cookies to a Gedris run site.

BTW, you're being stalked.
