There was once a time when STEEM was $8, I would win 10 followers a day, and The Weekly Zekely was just that. Now, it is time to stack cheap STEEM, all of my new followers are people and not bots, and I hit you with a bi-weekly Zekely. Bear or Bull, it is my duty, to please that b.....lockchain.

So pull up a beer and join me while I dive into the phone pictures to reflect and rediscover what adventures I partook in this week.

Just like most @tasteem reviews including the latest one https://steemit.com/tasteem/@zekepickleman/tasteem-980712 I may as well start off with a beer. This one is an absolute beauty from Bellwood's Brewery https://bellwoodsbrewery.com/ in downtown Toronto. The biggest beer nerds I know all seem to love this place so I had to grab a few while passing through. This one is not even labelled an IPA but is slightly stronger than normal pale ale, and has enough unfiltered, citrussy hoppy goodness it might as well be. The bottles look much large than the pint it fit into and the taste is larger too. Despite their other beers, this one is reason enough to really appreciate them.

It was March Break in Canada last weekend and that means camps for the kids so they don't rot on the couch and dad doesn't go nuts. One benefit about being in this town, there is a large theater culture and on of the programs available to kids is the drama camp at the main theater in town. They get tours of the costumes and props areas, have workshops taught by the actors, and end off the week presenting a play for the families. This one was Much Ado About Nothing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Much_Ado_About_Nothing which is a Shakespeare comedy. Pretty impressive for kids with limited time to learn lines and speak like Olde English charlatans.

This is a strange shot which shows how tough it is to get a good closeup pic of an aquarium from an angle. I am about to populate the 55-gallon freshwater tank with fish after the quarantine period. The last of my hurdles is the hair algae in this picture which will be done with mild chemicals and a bit of vacuuming along with less time every day under the plant lights. We will be filling it with live-breeding community fish because my little ones love seeing the babies swimming among the nooks and crannies along the bottom. Mollies and platties and sword tails along with come corydoras, loaches, plecostamus and perhaps a few neons. I will try to post an update on that when I have a little more colour in there.

I coordinated some printing of banners for my Brother's band Wasaga for a show they played over the weekend. The banner maker is a good friend in town and it enabled me to grab lunch with him and make the delivery to help out the band. They turned out awesome right down to the sticker on the box which D even took the time to draw a rkc hand in sharpie. If you need any promotional material from banners to inflatables to almost anything you can imagine, I would highly recommend them and the info is on the label.

I had a great vantage point for another really neat night of music at a friend's venue called Revival House https://www.revival.house/. This time, it was the Dueling Pianos https://www.kmprod.com/dueling-pianos with such an entertaining show. Picture impromptu requests being made and songs from Queen to Tom Petty to Elton John, Billy Joel, Stevie Wonder and that general genre. They are dusty old favourites but you remember how great those songs are and enjoy the talent of the live performers.

It is always a proud dad moment when your little one sticks with Jiu Jitsu enough to love it. Then, there are moments when you realize she is using technique to overpower and dominate a boy her size, who also has trained to fight. It is much less extreme than it sounds but she is going to be so much more prepared for highschool than I was.

I seem to have put my phone away over the weekend but it was highlighted by a trip to the big city to start building a show for the Hootenany. You will have to go back to my blog of Easter last year when I last covered this event because it is yearly. This year, we are going to transform into the Beegees and make disco great again. Here is Jimmy Freedom starting to build his costume with a shiny vest. I really should have snapped some pics of the 3 hour jam we had followed by 3 hours of 5-mic karaoke in the studio but I can do that this weekend when we do it again. Til then, know the costumes are going to be as nuts as the falsetto as we revisit those Nights on Broadway, try and avoid a Tragedy, see How Deep is Your Love and try to Stay alive.

What was the highlight of your week?
