    Well, next week is finals, then a term paper that I can hopefully knock out in a week (yeah, right), then hopefully a bit of a breather before Fall classes start.

    Do you have plans for your breather, or just veg-ing?

    Well, I keep trying to daydream that I'll be able to actually slow down a little, but the reality is that I have projects around the house that have been on the back burner for way too long, so probably not.

    Back to work. It was nice having two days off. Some day I'll actually have time off on a regular basis. A guy can always dream. :smile:

    @sufferlandrian how was your Saturday ride?

    It was fun! Made it in 7.5 hours. Not my best time but the last 20 miles it was 104 - 106 degrees. That's just over 41 degrees for you Celsius people. :smile: The smoke wasn't as bad as last year. The search and rescue folks always do a great job of putting on the ride. I was really happy that miles 83-84 were downhill. :wink:

    That's a lot of work for a 78%. Is it a hard instructor?

    It was a hard class that I didn't put enough effort onto through the semester. 😑

    The smoke is starting to clear! Yeah! The wind shifted directions so we have smoke from smaller forest fires. We’ve gone from unhealthy to unhealthy for sensitive groups. 😊

    Wind shifted again. We'll see what the morning brings. Winds are ripping pretty good down the lake so I hope that pushes a lot of the smoke out of the valley

    Long weekend followed by lung choking smoke. Not my best week ever. Have some part time help coming this weekend. I'll take whatever I can get.

    Sorry pals, crazy busy here between smoke, fires, roots/blues music festival security duties. Hubby also has his security licence and was called up for duty overnighters. Seems like all we did was run in and out of the house at random hours dumping our stuff off, catching snatches of sleep, doing laundry, and running off to shifts again. Last night was tonight and maybe a bit of rest for me but a couple more overnighters for DH this week. Glad the ride and test went well for you both! Cheers!
    Trying to figure out where the heck we are going to take our vacation early next month. We need to escape smoke. The whole province is under a state of emergency.

    I knew you guys were getting a bunch of fires. Over 600 the last time I checked. We are getting smoke from BC all the way here in Montana.

    Welcome Anthony! I'm guessing your not an engineer since you're on MFP. :smile:

    You guys be careful out there!

    So, the days are starting to get shorter here. Soon enough I'll have to dig out all my warm fuzzy clothes and forget what the sun looks like for a couple of months. Did that sound disproportionately morose?

    Also, hi Anthony! Welcome

    We are expecting snow on Monday. Yes. You heard me right. Hopefully it will help stop some of the wild fires.
