A little chilly riding to and from the picket line today. No more than 2 - 3°C. I took the long way home, two hours, my toes are cold, but other than that, entirely comfortable.

Old: 403 Sandford Rd., Sandford

You call that taking a beating? Looks nearly pristine to me.

No, not necessary, I don't think. They may have been rural roads, but in most cases, not too lonely.

Don't allow yourself to dwell on this. I faced the same situation today. In fact, I was already in my moto gear, standing in the garage, had a route planned, but just couldn't muster the motivation. It happens to us all from time to time. Forget it and move on.

Day 5 Friday October 11 Lake George, NY to Pickering, ON It's time to head home, but once again, I'll take the leisurely route. Crossing the Sacandaga River, not far from Lake George. Riding across the north shore of the Sacandaga River, a lovely and scenic ride under bright and sunny...

Day 4 Thursday October 10 Littleton, NH to Lake George, New York I pondered the day's ride over breakfast. I could continue into Maine, there's good riding off the beaten track there. But that's taking me further from home. I think I'd better head west. Checking the paper map once again, I...

Day 3 Wednesday October 9 Franconia, NH to Littleton, NH, the long way. I prefer to rise early and get on the road, that's some of my favourite riding. But today, I missed my alarm and slept in! It was 8:30 when I woke. By the time I'd showered, had breakfast, and packed the bike, it was...

... cont'd. "Engage, Number One!" Oh no! Wrong series! I meant to say "Ahead warp factor one, Mr. Sulu.". The tour lasts about one hour, there were six or seven nerds in our group. The cost is around twenty bucks, no touching anything, no video permitted, but take as many photos as you like...

Day 2 Tuesday, October 8. Lake Placid, NY to Franconia, New Hampshire I've a very important appointment at 10:00 this morning. I mustn't be late! It's about a one and a half hour ride, but I left with an extra hour in hand, just to be sure. Almost perfect weather this morning, but very cold...

I moped around the house for the weekend, unsure of any plans. Staring at the next two weeks off, my wife having to work, and all my riding buddies unavailable, I was on my own. I thought of Pennsylvania, but have ridden there several times already this summer. Around supper time on Sunday...

I did some work around the house for a few days, then had the sudden urge to go camping for a single night. Where to, I wondered? How about a night at Bon Echo? I gathered all the camping gear, loaded up the bike, and prepared for a chilly and solo October night in the tent. At the eleventh...

I recently attended GTAM burger night, and was given siht for not sharing my autumn rides. I didn't think anyone cared or would be interested. Better late than never? All right then! Because you demanded it! Here goes... I had three weeks off in October, did some motorbike riding. Three of...

They're either used, or an employee is paid out; there is limited carry over permitted.

Correct.

Correct. Canada Post is a for profit, self sufficient entity, paying corporate taxes, not unlike any other business. If you do nothing other than receive mail, the service costs you not one thin dime.

I'm referring to the hourly rate. I'm not familiar with their benefits. Perhaps you are?

This is not so. Several years ago, the federal government mandated ten sick days for all. Canada Post employees were only given six. Currently, CUPW members have seven personal days, plus the new six mentioned above. The union is fighting for the remaining four days. Purolator, UPS, FedEx...

This is simply wrong. Do not work for free. If delivery of mail and/or collation of flyers requires overtime, so be it. If management refuses overtime, then the work isn't done. If management is insistent on flyers being collated for the next day, break off mail delivery early. Any left over...
