Motorcycle ride to the community garden

 I rode the motorcycle to the north end of lethbridge.  Made a fun ride.


We get working in the garden πŸͺ΄,  a shovel breaks while I am digging.

But we got another shovel and started shoveling done more


Pulling up dill for well I guess no one was using it.

Meg offer me to take it to pickle but declined.  I might of known some one to take the fill but on the spot I think the job was to dig it up.

I said it would go good in pickles but I guess that was not happing today.  It was going to the land fill I figured. But I thought of my dad or my in-laws if they were getting into pickles this year.  


I had fun any how.   But that dang shovel broke. Sadly.


Meg was great she kept saying how strong πŸ’ͺ I am or my hands πŸ™Œ could break the dirt so easily.  Made a guy feel great 😊 



A fun time, I got dizzy 😡 shoveling in the sun ☀️ and had to sit down.


It’s Meg community garden, and we got to dig it for her.  She got the other guys dinner 🍲 I came home for supper with Kim.

We haven’t made plans yet for supper.  Over all I’ve 60km on the motorcycle today.  Felt good πŸ‘ and I’m thinking I’ll do another 40 km then fill it the tank again.



$6.78 to fill up and I think an equivalent tank for vehicle if I were filling up the motorcycle would be around $30

For the same distance as a car. My car takes $80 to fill and sometimes that doesn’t even fill it, if it’s right on the gas light. Which I try never to do.

Celebrating Ten Years and Living My Best Life🧘‍♂️ A Quiet Day at Home

  πŸŽ‰ Celebrating 10 Years Together Last night was a beautiful celebration of a decade spent with Kim. We marked our 10-year anniversary with a cozy dinner at The Keg, where I indulged in a hearty 20 oz steak and Kim opted for a more modest 8 oz cut. It felt so good to get out together and enjoy a special evening. We kept things simple—just water to drink, with fresh bread and salad to start. The atmosphere was perfect, and I soaked in every moment of our time together. We’re incredibly grateful for our families, who made the night even more special. My parents generously gave us cash to enjoy our dinner, and Kim’s parents gifted us movie money so we could extend the celebration. Their thoughtfulness reminded us how lucky we are to be surrounded by love and support. Family and friends made it sweeter We were so blessed by our families: my parents gave us cash to enjoy the night and Kim’s parents sent money for a movie treat. Our friends even gifted us a 20% tip card for the meal...

Gratitude, Good Food, and Good Books

 A Thanksgiving weekend of family meals, long walks, and reaching 86 books this year Bryan and I headed out for a walk after he returned from his sister’s Thanksgiving gathering, settling into a steady 30‑minute pace that carried us just under 2 km. The air was crisp with a light breeze, the kind of weather that makes movement feel effortless. I’ve always loved these cooler temperatures—my body doesn’t have to work as hard, and the transition from “easy mode” into a gentle warm‑up felt natural. Carrying 30 pounds with me added that extra layer of challenge, but it blended seamlessly into the rhythm of the walk. We paused at a park bench along the way, taking a moment to sit together before snapping a photo. That small break reminded me how these walks are as much about connection as they are about distance or weight carried. The combination of fresh air, conversation, and the grounding presence of the season made the outing feel restorative. It wasn’t just a walk—it was a reminder...

Plus 12 Celsius Smoke run πŸƒ‍♂️

  The dog and I decided to do either a 3 km run or a 6 km run or 9 km run hoping for 10 km but I couldn’t find the energy to push further. It is smoky out there you could smell it and breath it in. Made me in my threshold if I keep a higher pace than 9 minutes km Cooler morning,  I went and got a sausage homestyle biscuit from Tim’s and an ice coffee ☕️  Just getting my day started. I got a doctors appointment later today over the phone πŸ“ž also. Hoping to take the dog πŸ• for a run πŸƒ‍♂️ this morning but I’m stiff. So hopefully my coffee stop warms me up to get moving this morning. Or just caffeinates me. We managed to do 6.05 km in about 59 minutes. A high heart rate of 172 bpm and an average of 144 bpm. Plus 12 Celsius while I ran but I was in full sweating πŸ˜… by the time I got home 🏑. The last couple weeks I’ve had a low relative effort due to some family losses. But I manage to get out on a smoky day like today for a run. πŸƒ‍♂️  It’s been raining heavily the last...
