Make sure to hit Porcupine Mt State Park, Tahquamenon Falls, Copper Harbor, and Pictured Rocks at a *minimum* while you're there... you'd also do yourself a MAJOR disservice not to take a boat ride over to Isle Royale.

I just see Toronto as a giant trendy traffic jam.
Ottawa seems much slower, easier on the eyes and has more history behind it that you can go and see.
Maybe I'm not the best reference, living here and all but take every opportunity to get away from the city when I can...
Ha! what's funny is that I've never really visited Toronto. I went to the zoo a few times as a kid, and I've been downtown for work a few times, but I don't really know anyone there, and I've never visited it as a tourist. I just keep getting told its a big metropolis with lots to see and do.I just see Toronto as a giant trendy traffic jam.

But I can't say I'm really compelled to go.
Ottawa is home. There's definitely a good craft beer scene. people keep saying there's a foodie scene in Ottawa but I just don't see it. There's lots of trendy foodie places, but I don't feel they actually pull it off all that well. Festival season is over already, so cultural activities will be a bit lacking... but yeah, Parliament is pretty, the canal is pretty, and the riverside pathways are pretty. There's some decent riding to be had, but it's all unofficial. other than Mont Ste Marie, which is an hour out of town. There's great riding there.
waitMornin!
Last full day in CO.
Conversely, I've been chatting with recruiters about jerbs. Boo to that.
I thought you retired?
I just had two impossibly juicy and delicious plums for breakfast. 
We in the Slacker Community refer to that as "Intermittent Retirement"...
Today may be my friday. will find out. I prefer to get some hours mañana, may try and remote in from babylon aka boulder. 
bachelor life, so I've been fishing lots after work. Last night did not suck. plus another brown about 10"

Dude... it's summer. You expected anyone to show up??
Just got an email from Google that Chromecast FINALLY supports Amazon Prime Video. I mean... I'm not sure who was at fault for this not being available for the last, you know, decade or so, but JHFC it's about time. 
they were pissy with each other (google and amazon). it wasn't for lack of hardware / software compatibility.Just got an email from Google that Chromecast FINALLY supports Amazon Prime Video. I mean... I'm not sure who was at fault for this not being available for the last, you know, decade or so, but JHFC it's about time.
but i'm over chromecast now, when we got the new TV we opted for the roku ultra. at the time it was on sale for same price as the 4k version of the chromecast.
Sitting on the ferry to Orcas Island. Buddy is then picking me up in his boat for a few days of floating around drinking beers and not giving fucks.
4K... lol.
listen fred flintstone.... essentially all tv's with screens bigger than 40" are 4k these days. there's still some inventory of low end stuff up to 55" available that are non4k, and specialty units (like outdoor tv's)4K... lol.
Financing closed. Boosh. 40 hours in this week. I need nap.up early and still working with lawyers and bankers ...
Getting a new fancy bike?
I found out recently that Comcast has capped data usage (and apparently has been for awhile) at 1TB/month. I wouldn't be able to afford 4K movies.
Is Prime Video actually any good, without paying for a bunch of sub-subscriptions?Just got an email from Google that Chromecast FINALLY supports Amazon Prime Video. I mean... I'm not sure who was at fault for this not being available for the last, you know, decade or so, but JHFC it's about time.
I have a trial of it going right now, but the selection reminds me of when Netflix first came to the intarwebz.
Maybe the content is different based on region? Canaderp.
comcastI found out recently that Comcast has capped data usage (and apparently has been for awhile) at 1TB/month. I wouldn't be able to afford 4K movies.
here in the US prime video is bundled with Prime Membership. there's good stuff on it for sure, but idk if i'd go out of my way to pay for it. YMMV.
Instead of nap we could ride bikes this afternoon. Forecast is better today than PM storms tomorrow...
Monopolies are good for competition!®comcast
CenturyLink fiber has been good to me, even if they won't give me the new-customer intro price. I'm at $75/mo for 1000/1000 service, and I just ignore the existence of their "customer service" team and all is well.
Yeah... well FUCK YOU TOO.
I pay more than that for 70Mbps out here in the goddam sticks.
my original point, grandpa, is that you can laugh about 4k all you want, but that's pretty much all that's out there
Hopefully I won't have to worry about any of that for another decade or so... :nowgetoffmylawn:
Sure, but FUCK COMCAST too. Having only those two to chose from is like a reverse Sophie's Choice and you're the one that gets fucked in the end.
Absolutely. Comcast only wins out because CenturyLink is THAT BAD. But yeah. FUCK COMCAST. Just slightly less than CL.
So it would annoy you to know that living where I do, I get ~100Mbps normally and quiet periods it's 250Mbps?Yeah... well FUCK YOU TOO.
I pay more than that for 70Mbps out here in the goddam sticks.
For $75?? FUCK YOU TOO.
That's weird that your internet speeds reflect whether your neighbors are actively downloading porn or not.
Well, shit, man... if I was expensing it, I'd have yourNah, costs me nothing.
I expense it
-level innernetz too. 
I have over 95%. It's only teachers under 35 who ghost me. It's okay though... I have a list of people who have ghosted me that go to the bottom of my follow-up, second appointment list. There are over 70,000 people at all of my accounts combined. Not giving a second chance to talk with a millennial won't hurt me.Dude... it's summer. You expected anyone to show up??
would it annoy you further if I got 1000/1000 for $70?For $75?? FUCK YOU TOO.
Nice. The intro deal is $65 but apparently since I'm an existing customer (and won't actually make good on my threats to the retention people to flee to Comcast because they suck) I can't get that.
who's your provider?
google fiber
Plus beers and a pasty at the Ambassador in Houghton and a fish fry (literally anywhere) if in the UP on a friday.
There's some decent trails to ride up there too in Marquette and I think Copper Harbor.
