Luckily she is cute enough to overlook the nonsense in the meantime

It's been a long 8+ weeks and there is still lots of physio and reduced activity ahead of him. Bit this morning is pretty good. Dog tax attached

The city is following the trends and adding gravel sectors to the MUP along the canal. #yycbike

The picture doesn't show the scale as well as I hoped, but I had to laugh at one parked next to our little 2800 lb car.

Once again, we are visiting BC and I'm envious of simple bits of bike infrastructure. Take your bike to dinner and park it without worry. Seems so simple.

Things I find in the back of the closet. Seemed apropos. Wonder if I'll get any comments around the office 😁

The camera bird feeder the kiddos got us remains a fave.

I noticed last week that the mid-road plastic sign in front of our neighborhood elementary school was finally mowed down. After many glancing blows. It is right at the crosswalk with the patrollers and full blinking lights. School drop off is bedlam in the morning

On a brighter note, unreal day to be out and about today.

City of Calgary truck completely blocking the path by Heritage Park. Their reply when they came sauntering back, as I was pushing my bike through the snow, was "I'm not perfect" #yycbike

Small thing - taking the geriatric blind pupper out in the sunshine to sniff until her heart's content, even though we only get one house away, lifts the weight of watching her decline just a bit.

Happy birthday BikeBike! Thanks for setting me up with an awesome bike 16 years ago. Still love this bike.

Received a bird feeder camera for Christmas which is super cool. But because the ground is frozen, the only place I have to install it is a bit too, let's say, convenient. So for now it is an awesome squirrel cam until I can move it in the spring.

Other than that, pretty smooth sailing from the hospital to Stanley Park.

Heads up on the Elbow River pathway near Riverdale Ave. Big semi frozen puddle at the bottom of a hill, on a corner. Was a bit sketchy. #yycbike

Sandy Beach hill looks to be open. I only noticed after I rode up the road but it was cleared and there were pedestrians on it. #yycbike

Almost twice as long to get to work this morning, that's as bad as driving in the snow.

The rest of the Elbow river pathway from Rockyview to Mission has had some attention. Even sanded around Stanley Park. Riverdale and Rideau roads are snirty. 2 St bikeway had had no clearing whatsoever from 26th to 12 th Ave. 311 already submitted. #yycbike

#yycbike update - Sandy Beach hill pathway now not opening until the 11th. Crews actively working on the finishing touches when I went by. 50th down the hill was bare enough to ride down without drama.

My annual coffee fundraiser where I bring all my gear to the office to raise money for the food bank. Or as I like to call it, bring your sickness to work day.

I learned to drive in an old blue Volvo wagon. It was fantastic and led to my later love of all things wagon. (This was a few years ago, I'm down to zero but also have no kids to shuttle)

I finally had to replace one of the LED bulbs I installed when we bought the house. Over 13 years ago. LED bulbs were quite new, and I think these were close to $50 a piece back then. But 13+ years is amazing, look at that heat sink. The new ones are cheaper but not nearly so well engineered.

Life made riding the last few weeks a bit challenging, but holy smokes has this week been amazing. Just fantastic conditions and still so many riders out and about. #yycbike

Always have one thing in your kitchen that truly terrifies you. 😂 Not really, pressure canning just requires a suitable attention to detail.

Our resident backyard bunny. They've been hanging out for a few weeks, we think they live under the deck and there may be a few of them.
