Snowing Trip

Kim and I get away for an appointment/anniversary get away


A tense trip there and home 🏘️

We get going on our trip on Sunday which we got in Calgary away from rush hour and we're leaving before rush hour.  So it made a nice travel.

Most the time a person would go into the ditch would be someone cutting you off then jamming on there breaks. Those times would be when you'd swerve into the ditch.

So less cars the better.

We get staying in a Ramada Hotel only two storeys but there was a huge homeless population coming and going.  We thought there was prostitution happening.  

The hotel put us in the second floor so we wouldnt see it out our door.


But the doors never even locked.  We changed rooms once due to we couldn't see our car.

The heat in the hotel was on full blast and no way to turn it off. So we opened the door periodically on the second floor to let cold air in throughout the night.

And the room wasn't the best.

We were only five minutes away from Foothills hospital.  And it was the cheapest place we could go that was close by.

We stopped in at McDonald's right after Banff trail on 16th.  There was homeless sleeping in the McDonald's with blankets.  Ones got to wonder what the province is doing with with population.  Or what's going on that there not using supports.

We didn't want to go out when we got to our hotel 🏨. 

We order in skip the dishes and doordash. My KFC wasn't the best. Kim enjoyed her meal but no utensils.

Other than that the hospital got us in an hour earlier cause there wasn't much waiting.

And we were back on our way home 🏡 by noon.

Roads were well tense after you got out after Calgary to slow going from Calgary to Nanton.

Then at least the ice stopped but visibility was pretty hard after.  Wind was blowing.


Our whole family wishes us a happy anniversary ❤️❤️🥳🥰.


So that made it special, thanks again for all the well wishes.

The traveling was tense and the day rushed but we made it and now trying to eat and shovel before the day is done.


An adventure for sure this snow storm on 2022.




.

I think the roads in Lethbridge are worst than the highway. 

My opinion but visibility is very poor right now on the highway with blowing snow over the highway so when the semis pass when you're driving by them that's when the white out occurs.

The whole reason for the trip and dangerous conditions to be driving is.

Theirs no doctors in Lethbridge for what we need. So a special trip has to happen.

Plus 4 Celsius 6.1 km in a hour 🏃‍♂️

  Dixie and I go for a run  🏃‍♂️ Dixie and I go for a run, redo a hill run down and up again. Kim picks me up after I climb the hill, I called her and asked since I was over my hour mark, originally I wanted to do 9 km in an hour but I managed to do six km instead.  I think it was the hill climb that did it.  I ran fully down hill no problem 😌 We made good time.  For a hill run 🏃‍♂️   It looks like it will be 13 Celsius by noon but it feels warmer in the sun. ☀️  I took a picture by the usual spot that judge where the river is from other years and with that rain the last couple days it definitely looks a lot better than what it was a few weeks ago Dixie went off leash for a bit and went to the river. Must’ve been cold. I think for April water dip. I managed to bring my VO2 max up to good 😊 today, it’s the first time I’ve put it in the green since owning my second Garmin. So my goal right now is to get an endurance score over 5099 To move past ...

Walk mid October with my Mom

  Walks with my mom The water looks like glass just crystal smooth.  My mom and I are walking to the river and in life. It’s like we’re always walking away.  Getting closer to the end, my poet mind says.   I say I got to enjoy these walks and I was silent most the walk just trying to enjoy 😊 my time with her. Or walk end more so with 🐾 paw printed pants 👖 from dogs jumping.  We say maybe a dozen dogs 🐕. A wonderful time.  I often thought it was too early to spell like alcohol.  But surprised to pass another walker, but each to their own I probably smell like an ashtray. Although I never smoked or chewed tobacco on my walk.  I just want to walk with my mom.  Often times I don’t think I could spit out everything I wanted to say so much so that I just said in these moments you don’t have to chew tobacco and say anything. Dixie and both us individually by the fallen tree arch. A path going to the river, under which most the trees 🌳 there are...

Walk and a run in to the vet

 Another adventure for Dixie,  she is an expensive dog….🐕 We enjoy 😊 our walks. Up top of the coulee you can see the university  Sonny and I go walking the south side dog park,  it tricky terrain for sure.  It’s nice 😊 for the scenery I think, yet a bit treacherous at times.  A person has to be careful let alone a dog 🐕 being careful. Here is Sonny and I smiling giving a thumbs up to the camera 📸  The walk was decent though some difficult 😞 parts for today, Dixie is on a 14 day hiatus from walking.  She’ll probably want to go sooner rather than later. I think we’re stuck to just five minute poop 💩 walks than the hour or two hour walks we usually do. I’m unsure when it happen but my guess is near the end of the walk when I noticed it. Dixie gets to close to the bushes today, I kept looking her over but noticed a different spot on her at the end of our walk.   Dixie goes through some bushes and gouged a piece out of her. Now Dixie has th...
