Edmonton Riverwatch is having a sale on Sunday family floats down the North Saskatchewan. My daughter is one of the guides and they’ll take good care of you. #YEG #Edmonton https://www.riverwatch.ca/public-ecofloats/

So wedding trip to southern Alberta is cancelled for us. Partner picked up cold earlier this week and then gave it to me. We’re going to try and kick it before heading to Jasper next week.

Why does anyone try to get any work done the day before vacation? It's like the last day of the school year.

Burning the chicken inside rather than on the BBQ as it’s too smoky outside.

The west sidewalk and northwest car entrance to the High Level Bridge will be closed for the next three days for emergency repairs. The east sidewalk is open but only to the southeast staircase, still no access to Saskatchewan Drive on the east side. #YEG #Edmonton https://www.edmonton.ca/projects_plans/roads/high-level-bridge-rehabilitation

Windows all open to cool the house a hair before the heat hits. I was nervous to leave the open last night because of the risk of storms and my tendancy to sleep through them. #YEG #Edmonton #YEGwx

While it's nice Alberta is having a relatively smoke free summer for the first time in years I wish Ontario didn't have to experience all the smoke this summer. :(

RE: https://mstdn.ca/@yegwxnerdery/116921451274783083 This been impacting one of my kid’s summer jobs. She’s a raft guide for River Watch and they can’t take kids out if the flow is 450m3/s. We get to go out with her this weekend on a friends and family float.

Well based on my last blood tests statins are likely in my future. Lipids did not get any better. :/

Telus posted pictures of the cable damage that has taken down/degraded their Enterprise Fibre and phone in downtown Edmonton. Apparently it's at Jasper and 100th street. It looks like the entire right of way was ripped out. I've heard it's also affecting Rogers customers. I'm thinking this will take awhile to fix. #Edmonton #YEG #Telus #Rogers

My father, a man who has climbed mountains, sea kayaked in Alaska (12 times), and been all over counting birds, is now mostly house bound. I'm so grateful we found a mobility scooter and that Edmonton has wilderness areas within the city. Today we went out to the Whitemud Ravine. #YEG #Edmonton
