Lived up in Peace River for a year, beautiful country side, was friggin cold and B.C. released about 12' of water from the Bennet dam and flooded us a bit. Got to see the Peace river ice explode from the water pressure, chunks of ice 3-4' thick were getting thrown up, river went from flat to unpassable in minutes.
Taking it easy but that seems to bring back the aches and pains lol, will get some light work in tomorrow and the bending, stretching will do wonders, cats are nurse maiding me today.

These 2 cats of mine are a funny pair. On the site down the street they take shifts watching me, the change over is about 3-3.30. If someone comes to the house for a viewing the off shift cat comes over and they both go home and return when the people leave, we watched the cars parked on the street and figured out that one. Right now Sally is at the end of the couch and Frankie is outside, a half hour ago it was the other way around, in a hour or 2 they'll change shift. These 2 have been like this since the stroke, my neighbors know that where I am, theres a cat near by and Frankie walks me to the mailbox and corner store. Its like having a pair of dogs lol

Was really wet and cool, but had a little fun with the family anyway. Now that the long weekend is over, we should get some more reasonable temperatures.

Not all of it on june 1st. Just that it will start. Even if everything goes smooth, I think they are planning to phase it in over about a week.

Will be interesting to find out how much damage from smoke or other things there is to houses that weren't burnt. At the very least, need new fridges!

Good morning everyone
