On the road to no where......

So I am back on the bike and back to work.  The floods that have ruined so much of the city pathway system are truly making the ride a different adventure.  I spent Sunday night sitting up all night worrying about the ride in to work.  I did not get a chance to do a test run so I was winging the trip on Monday morning.  As it turned out it was an adventure with many different roads and some not so good stretches of crosswalks.  I have found that I am very cautious going from pathway to crosswalk, there are at least 6 areas I go through right now that to my feeling are total death traps.  You do not assume anything and by no means do you think you have a right away.  That said I have managed some of these crossings before but I was able to get back on the other pathways so I did not have to use the alternate route, but I fear it will be a while before the old routes is an option.  So for now I will brave the journey and once again learn to keep a sharp eye out for cars and such.

On to other things.  we are getting so close to finishing some of the reno's the week off was extremely productive. I am very happy to think that we may have the first half of the house finished and can take a small break.  But we are at that point that takes the hard push to get it over the line, you are tired and really are thinking it can wait but not in this case I am determined and back to the word for the year disciplined to get this done.

So that is the update to this point.  I am not sure that there is much of value in these comments.  I am again drawn to the camera and what it has produced this week.  I was able to get a lens for my dad, he was quite happy that I found a 150-500mm here in Calgary.  I am potentially going to update my Nikon to a newer one perhaps if my father in-law decides he wants to sell his.  In which case I may have a Nikon for sale.  If there are any interested people out there.  May have to part with a couple of lenses as well we will see.

But for now it is back to work and all the fun that comes with it.

Let's see is there a happy pic some place?
