Well, you can’t really tell from the pic above (before on left, after on right) that my old Takamine G306 needed a bit of help, but you could tell when you

Snappy Fridays – Toronto’s Distillery District
Just walking around a neighborhood that I haven’t been in for a while. Enjoy!
There was a concert going on for the world cup of hockey tournament.
Snappy Friday – Wedding Bells!
Erika getting prepped for her big day!
Hi, everyone! I spent the day snapping pics of my long time friend, Erika, today! As you can see, it was her wedding day! So I was under a semi “media blackout” – haha!
I haven’t forgotten the bicycle race pics – I dropped off my rolls of film yesterday afternoon and I’m hoping they will be scanned and ready for next week. Also, this weekend is chock full of stuff for me to do, so I’ll be posting more pics next week.

Alvin’s Digital Follies – The 2016 Thompson Bucks County Classic
“Feeling the heat (in more ways than one…)” 2016 Thompson Bucks County Classic, Doylestown, PA
I apologize for taking so long to post since the teaser I put up in Snappy Friday. My son and I had spent the weekend in the state of Pennsylvania to meet up with our friend, JP. Yes, a road trip! I do love road trips! The reason for this road trip? It was to try my hand at taking some sports photography, namely, the Thompson Bucks County Classic!
Alvin’s Digital Follies – A Sunday Meat Fix
Barrio Restaurant, as seen from the West.
Labour Day is commonly known as the last long weekend of the summer in Canada and the U.S. Most people head out of town to cottages or to camp. This year, because I am doing a bit more travel than expected, I stayed in town.
What to do in Toronto? Well there are plenty of things to do! The CNE (locally known as “The Ex”) is still running, and for the first time, the annual Epilepsy Toronto Buskerfest ran this weekend at Woodbine Park. But before heading over to the Buskerfest, my girlfriend and I decided to go to church, then have lunch.
Alvin’s Road Trip Follies – Pelee Island
“JIIMAAN’s mouth closes…” Kingsville Ferry Dock, Ontario
I’m a bit overdue to put up this post, since I had gone on this trip last week. Having no cellphone signal on the island was bad enough, although Rogers does insist that there is coverage on the island. Well, I was getting constant text messages saying “Welcome to the U.S.A.”. I guess this was to be expected, since Pelee Island is Canada’s most southern point.
Snappy Fridays – “Mount up!”
Tricia is raring to go.
Tricia (my Jeep Patriot) has the bikes mounted and cargo loaded! With that said, off we go on another weekend road trip adventure. Until my next post, see you all on instagram, Facebook or Twitter.
Digital Follies – Open Streets Toronto (Aug. 21, 2016)
Road Closed for Open Streets! Yonge Street, looking north from Shuter Street.
Well, it was raining on the Saturday night that had just past, and I was concerned that on Sunday it would be a bit too wet to bike out to Bloor Street and Yonge Street where Open Streets Toronto was being held. To my delight, the moisture dried up and it turned out to be a beautiful day! It was a great change from the heat waves that ravaged the city for the past few weeks.
Alvin’s Musical Follies – Alvin Restrings a Cute Guitar
No, this is not my guitar. The owner is my son’s classmate. I was just asked to replace the strings on this guitar, but I gave it a bit more. This cute, black beauty, needed some TLC.
Snappy Fridays – Roy Thomson Hall
I was walking from Metro Hall to work today and looked over at Roy Thomson Hall. “Hmm…” I thought to myself. “I don’t recall getting a photo of this place from this angle before…”
Snappy Facts:
– Capacity: 2630
– Opened: 1982
– Home for the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and Mendelssohn Choir
– During its conception and construction, Roy Thomson Hall was known as New Massey Hall. Its official name was acquired on January 14, after a CAD $4.5 M donation from the family of Roy Thomson.
