I love small dogs, among other things.
@adey080.bsky.social @bernicecb.bsky.social My mom got these two Campbell's mugs many years ago. They are identical, I took one photo to get each side, shown side-by-side...

Just got the remote that came with the Technics radio tuner. @bernicecb.bsky.social @adey080.bsky.social

My "stereo", consisting of two components: a radio tuner (usually tuned to one of my personal transmitters) and a dual cassette deck. Not pictured: a custom FM antenna and accessory for the radio, and a series of audio cables feeding from the dual deck to the old laptop and then to a small speaker..

While looking for something else, I found this postcard of the Sir Robert Bond...

I might run this through an HP scanner at the library at some point to make it look better, but for now, enjoy...

Anyone in Newfoundland still have a few of these lying around, whether they are used or never been used before?

@bernicecb.bsky.social A couple of 1980s-era TDK audio cassettes. One a 1985 model, the other a 1986 model. (I also have a 1982 model, not pictured.)

Ken Dryden has passed away at the age of 78. He had a camera crew follow him to press row one game (Habs vs. Oilers) and this exchange with Red Fisher aired on "Home Game" on the CBC in 1990...

The second of three videos occurs during volleyball on CBS, with the only other broadcasts briefly seen being the Indy 500 (ABC) and Nature (PBS)...

I have three short videos of channel changes that were recorded on a 1980s VCR, all of which were off cable TV. Before Rogers and Bell Aliant, there was Gateway Cable. The first of the three short videos is from February 9, 1986, during a commercial for Nissan...

The only time I ever took a photo of the Sir Robert Bond, way back in 1997...

With Jonathan Toews back in the NHL after a few years off while recovering from illness, I thought I'd share this photo my late mom took of me and him at Canadian Tire back in 2012 while he was with the Blackhawks. I may have gotten his team at the time to win the Stanley Cup right after...

Happy #CanadaDay!

One thing you should do, if you have the opportunity, listen to any #VinylCafe audio that might be available, and let the late Stuart McLean be your guide to kindness and laughter.

Another unexpected find: while running an audio cassette through my newly-acquired dual cassette deck, this excerpt came up near the end, likely recorded off CFCB sometime in the 1990s...

@bernicecb.bsky.social On Saturday, I completed compiling a list of songs found on an old cassette I've had for about 35 years. Interesting set of mostly covers, most songs from the '80s, and an entry by Terry Kelly (born in our province)... And I learned a few things now compared to back then...
June 23, 2025 at 12:04 AM
@cbctom.bsky.social I made a minor correction to my post from Saturday night (fixed a couple of spelling errors), but the playlist is quite an interesting thing with how many were covers (roughly half)...
June 22, 2025 at 6:18 PM
@cbctom.bsky.social I spent some time today going through an audio cassette my late mom had and I kept. Between the two of us, it's been in our household around 35 or 36 years, but last played around 25 years ago. Finally completed identifying the songs and artists in the playlist. Some surprises...

Round 1 is in the books. How about that finish last night, eh?

Now, we start Round 2. Eight teams left. Soon it'll become the Final Four.

Also, my picks.
