5000
I hit 5000km last night on my way home so I had to pull over and take a picture.
I wonder what will happen when it hits 9999.9?
Other things to note about the ride last night:
- I almost got run over twice while crossing with the signal in reasonably well lit intersections going north on 14th ave. to get to the river. I know the girl in the passenger seat saw me on the first one from the start because she was screaming at her boyfriend to look out as he hammered the accelerator to turn before a car came from the other direction.
…and people wonder why I avoid riding on the street as much as humanly possible.
- I’m discovering I need to ring my bell about 10 times for some people to clue in what it means… and even then so many people have their iPod cranked they can’t hear it anyway (but still get pissed at me for riding by them with “no warning”)
- blowing wind does suck. I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve had a tailwind when the wind really decides to kick up… last night wasn’t one of them.
but… 5000km. yay! 
creating your own board game
We have started working on a game.
It will involve colours.
I am trying to think of a way to avoid the typical winner/loser aspect.
Must make it somewhat non-linear.
Is going to take a lot of thought and various incarnations.
May have to go through a few MSGN game night trials where everyone who participates can give feedback.
It will be awesome! Count on it!

…And the wolves sang us to sleep
Well, I’ve already equalled my camping trip total of last year at a massive 2 weekends, so I take it as a sign this will be a great year for outdoor pursuits. The snow was pretty much gone from the sites, but most of the hiking trails were still closed. Looks like Mount Sarrail is closed for the season, too. Boourns!
The girl and I spend some time at the dam (the water is so low!) and managed to get quite a bit further up King Creek than on May Long, but had to cut it short because of Sunday’s rain. The best part: after turning off the fire and crawling into our bags we were treated to a symphony of wolves. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anything like it before – it was chilling! So cool, just to lay back and hear them call to each other. Looking forward to the next trip!
And can I just say that putting recycling bins at the sites was LONG overdue?? Kudos for getting that setup
