I still had the car available today, so I actually did something for myself and, after some more shopping (stocking up on Febreze Anti-Bacterial, mostly, since I use that on my gym shorts/slip), drove to Strande, a small local town (if it qualifies as one) with a nice beach and promenade. I ended up walking to the Bülk lighthouse, too, and unlike about two years ago, I wasn't really exhausted afterwards, either, even though it's about 40 minutes either way. Going to the gym definitely has been having an effect already. (I probably should confess that I bought some ice cream at the lighthouse, too, but I don't think it's a big deal really - it's not a regular thing, after all. And besides, it was just two scoops, too, and small ones for that matter (although they still charged as much for them as you otherwise pay for bigger ones).) Anyhow! Going to the gym was pretty uneventful again. I got 466 + 450 + 464 = 1380 kcal today, with my performance indices being 25, 14 and 25; I was relatively exhausted in the end again, but then, the weather was quite hot and humid indeed. It's the kind of weather where you'd expect (and hope for) a thunderstorm, but I don't think there's been one yet. Ah well.

We're back!!! shiver_raccoonhas his camper set up in the yard, sat dish on the tripod and high-speed access first thing of course. Pics of that fun setup later! We started the day off by going to Assiniboine park zoo and snapping away at all the critters. Next we checked out the flower garden for some macro exitement and to give Gracie a bit of a walk and some excitement. We did lunch at this deli where I knew I'd run into some people I knew. My bud Ray was there and very excited to see me of course. Had a sit-down and a beer and showed off all the pics I'd been doing. Handed out some postcards and then Ray gave us the address of this party that was happening just over the river. Great! Headed on over there to find that it was just a small bbq gathering which was just fine. Shiver wasn't sure to expect given my ahem, whatevers, "reputation"? In any case, was a group of professional types in the 40+ range, sorry but no drunks and punks and thrills and pills here. What a great bit of luck though! One of the gals, the fun drunk one, has been seeing bits of my work here and there via my bud Harley and was absolutely gushing with praise. "Your work is amazing!", etc etc etc but best of all "Why don't you have a show? You could you know, they're good enough. Why don't you talk to ___ at the ___ gallery? Oh I'm going to be showing these to so-and-so, he's always looking for good work for his showcase homes and so-and-so has clients who are into this sort of stuff and..." Woohoo! See this is what I've been needing all this time, knew it too, just to be able to rub shoulders with the people who know the people. Nothing much after that. Took the van downtown to a place where we could get out of the scrum after the fireworks moderately easily, went back to the RV and crashed. And now we're here! Pictures of a BIG BIG kitty behind the cut and there will be a trickle of course as they're run through Lightroom and processed/uploaded. Speaking of upload, being the comp geeks that we are I'm sure the first thing we'll turn our attention to is getting the high-speed working up here, just gotta find that bloody wireless router.
