Was a big snow year in the mountains. Ice stayed much longer than normal on the lakes. This shot is Upper Kananaskis lake, which I hiked around over the weekend with my brothers.
Got a new neighbor next door 4 weeks ago, its a belligerant drunk that bellows all day, makes racist rants and raves and enjoys barking out about all the nonwhite people he's going to kill. We're supposed to just ignore him as he's a model Calgary citizen and its us sober people that treat each other like normal human beings that are the problem. My lease comes due this month and theres a newly renovated house with garage 500' away. Theres 3 of us that may be moving because of him and his landlord basically has a matter of days to evict him or deal with us in court.
Everytime we get this neighborhood cleaned up, some outsider goes out their way to screw it up. This new place I'm looking at is more to my liking and the people involved with it are progressive and have no use for lumps and losers so that helps, so does the insulated and finished garage with 220 power. Having every sober, employed and retired person in the neighborhood for a reference comes in handy as does 8 years in the same place. Being able to match names with the Asian investor thats based in Vancouver and being able have him check my reputation and references there gives these guys a lot of confidence in me.
Close one door on the past, open another door to a better future. Works for me and I only move 500'.
We're in that time of year when we get a little tiny bit of rain a few days a week, and the long term forecast always shows at least one day of torrential precipitation. It never arrives though, always a tease.
The river is up though. Lots of snow melting up in the mountains. Still la long way from flood stage though, this is what I'd call a typical spring runoff "high flow".
Perry, you looked down at harvie passage? looked pretty quick through there when I drove past today.
17th is under construction up here on the hill so I've been avoiding the whole thing. Its torn up from 26th to 36 and now from 47th to 68th, I'm on 47th and our street becomes a bus route when they're doing dig outs, next major dig out starts next week for us.

Always an interesting time of year as far as the rivers go. Ours has now pretty much peaked I think but who knows. We had 146% of our annual snow pack this winter. I must say I have seen it a whole bunch higher.
It was a heavy snow year right from the coast all the way to us. My brother has a place on Lake Windermere so I'm hoping the water stays high-ish for the whole summer. That lake isn't very deep in dry summers.
