What an awesome and Canadian-style day! Good for you!

Guess again on doing what they like with Windows 7. Some of the recent patches and updates added the same sending to Microsoft of info that Windows 10 does. Also that infuriating Windows 10 nagging adware.

Great. FFS! More changes in the Windows Anniversary update, due August 2nd, are being discovered. After yesterday's news about Cortana not able to be turned off in the Windows Anniversary update, certain registry entries and group policies have been found to be updated with a note stating that they only apply to Enterprise and Education editions. Win 10 Pro users will no longer be able to turn off policies such as the Microsoft Consumer Experience, Show Windows Tips, Do not display the lock screen, and Disable all apps from the Windows Store. It has the potential to be a great OS. but Microsof't's bullshit shenanigans really piss me off. It's MY PC, not Microsoft's.

This looks amazing. You control your motion by shifting your weight. The long white pipe is connected to a jet-ski. The shot was taken from the shore of Lake Ontario.

Very nice shots! Clearly, it's your gear that's holding you back. I'll do you a favour and take it off your hands for you! ;-)
