Life's a Beach

All week I like all of you work my ass off. I am very fortunate to be able to come home to what I think is probably one of the greatest places to live. White Rock BC. I really feel that you cannot beat the smell and feel of the ocean. I know it is a matter of opinion but what ev.

Even my dog is chillin'

After a decent week this week I came home to Tour de White Rock. For those who don't know what that is, it is a three day bike race and each stage exercises different skills. Friday is the hill climb, we have lots of those, Saturday is the Criterion and Sunday is the road race.

It is a chance to not only enjoy the
race but to visit with the

neighbours. I mean I walk out my door and into hay bales set up to save the racers from themselves.

This week was great, only did two rounders to Calgary and my pace was a bit slower than usual. The worst part of the week was when my Tripak Air Conditioner packed it in. For those that don't know what that it is, it is a small engine that provides AC power, circulates engine fluid in the winter time and runs an air conditioner. With this we ( the company ) save cash by not idling the tractor engine but the greater benefit is the fact we decrease the carbon foot print.

Needless to say with the temp up in the 80-90 range I did not get much sleep without the air running. Think of sleeping in a big metal box under direct sun.....not fun. Anyhow had that fixed and now life is a dream....

Fast forward one week.

Worked my butt off in order to earn a week of holiday. Ran 4000 miles this week from Monday evening to Sunday AM. So all in all a bit bagged but the effort will pay off.

I think what killed me this week is running the rocks and seeing and smelling the smoke from the fires. It makes for great photos but what kills me is that people seem to think it is ok to throw cigarette butts out the window of the vehicle.

So home for a couple of days and off I go for one rounder to Calgary then off for a week....will update on my return.
