  1. β€œHe went up to look at the house, see how things were going, and somewhere along the line he learned that the house number was going to be number 19," he said.

    Cooper’s grandfather was flabbergasted.

    β€œI can’t have my house to be number 19!” he said. β€œThat’s a shithouse number.”

  2. Any fishy catching people on here?

    I just got one of these fancy high end Seam fish landing nets. It's a really beefy, buy it for life type of thing ~~ and made local!

  3. Snowstorm en-route for Eastern Newfoundland.. warnings are out. Per Windy: GFS currently sitting at 35cm, ECMWF 18cm, worryingly.. HRDPS is ... showing 50cm.

    All show rain at the tail end, around 3pm. Regardless, we are going to get a lot of snow.

    The ol' back will be hurting this week...

  4. At 9:30pm, the airport weather station (#CYYT) recorded winds of 97 km/h, gusting 141 km/h.

    Last report is still high, 86 gusting 117.

    Neighbours fence might not survive the balance of the night. I tied off one of the posts to my deck, but with only paracord on hand I dunno if it will hold up.

  5. Hey you eastern Canada folks - which way is best?

    We may have a few days to do either route. What should we see?

  6. Some of the trees near the office started turning. Seems they are always early.

    Now, there are yellow leaves fluttering in the air and following on the breeze, along King's Bridge Rd. Guess autumn is near.

  8. City of St. John's moving off #Twitter/X. Fire department, also.

    Quote counciller Ophelia Ravencroft:

    β€œAnd I feel that we as a city have an obligation to do better than continuing to engage in any kind of platform that promotes hateful ideology, transphobia, racism, fascism, many other varieties of bigotry, and is flatly an unsafe environment for everybody on it.”

  9. Newfound Power has been catching a lot of flak over high bills for February:
    cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundlan

    I think the real issue, the graph they show on bills. In Febuary, it was 'total cost'. Previously, and now currently (it has been reverted), it shows 'total power used'.

  10. Pitch Perfect

    Carney brings Press to Gander.
    Deep reminder of the bonds of friendship and allies and affection, being ruined and insulted by Trump.

    Its REQUIRED that reporters must see.

  11. I wonder how long these #PayPhones will continue to exist here. By the old Fortis building, #StJohns.

    There used to be a bunch of payphones nearby on Water St., which would be used by (international) vessels tied up at the quay, in the days before the harbour fence.

  12. Oh drat, with high winds across the island (#Newfoundland) shutting down ferries and stranding flights (including UA23, a 777 from Newark to Dublin which diverted to #YYT)...

    A container ship, 'MSC Baltic III' (2500 TEU, ~200m), has grounded off Lark Harbour, just outside Corner Brook.

    #CCG are responding, but this boat is probably there until weather improves.

  13. #Newfoundland launches a new ’buy local' campaign, 'Buy From Newfoundland and Labrador' with a yellow logo.

    I guess this takes over from the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters NL (CME-NL) 'Manufactured Right Here' program, which used to have little Nfld flag rondels everywhere but I guess it kaput now.

    Nifty, but.. won't yellow blend in with the jam jam packaging?

  14. @NTVNewsNL 's new years ticker has a bit of history of running humourous shout-out's.

    Unconfirmed, but this reddit post shows 'Luigi and the boys from Hawaii' in the 2025 roll:
