Yep!
Probably not 20 folks swimming.
We called ahead.

Oh man....I bet.
Anything to beat the heat I guess.
Hell, the inner city is 15 degrees hotter anyway.
Nice 85 degrees poolside.
Everyone seems to be having fun.
I have my water jug and OutKast is on the boombox.
Good enough!

Got the pin oak trimmed today. 85° out, and not too much humidity, so I figured it was as good as it would get. Got my throwline toss first try. Didn't hit the crotch I wanted, but the one I got was pretty good, and I easily manipulated the line to get it through the branches. It almost looked like I knew what I was doing! Then came the climbing part... I bet you could train a turtle to climb faster than me :^D
It was too hot to play around, so I just got the wood I intended on getting, and didn't climb all over the place. Only had one semi mishap. The branch over the roof I cut slowly with my silky so it would rest on the roof, and then cut it through. My intention was to pull it off the roof, but it was too heavy for me to manipulate. I just dropped it, and it chipped a little shingle overhang on the edge. Not a big deal, but not a flawless execution either. I probably should have hauled it with a rope.
After getting the wood on the ground cut up, I put my saddle back on, and tried my beeline cord. It worked pretty well for me. I didn't trust it cause it didn't seem to grab as fast as my usual cord, but no issues in normal use. I'll try climbing with it next time. Overall, it was a fairly productive day, at least on my not so productive terms.

I am starting to understand why fly strips work so well.
I have been tangled up in that damn thing twice today.
On shower day of all days.
Post shower of course.

Hit a deer on my way to a job at 7:10 am. Took care of the tree and now looking at my bent bumper and all the hair.

Found a nice quiet pool for the kids to swim in today. Oh, and it is shallow, you can about walk across it. I took fishing gear. Need to brush up on my fly fishing. Waded out and practiced. Lake Chilcoot at about 7500 feet elevation.
Happy 4th everyone.

Better camping where we parked. Pretty much solid granite. Winter, you would need a snow cat or snow mobile.

After isolation hair cut helped as well. I was about pony tail ready. Getting a shave and a hair cut after covid closures was tantamount to a shower and shave after a long walk about.

Took a short walk with the kids in the woods while the rest of the adults argue about what they want to do next trip ( Labor Day ). It’ll be like every other time. They make plans and 4 days prior they all forgot and hurry up and decide a menu. I did hear mention of bringing a blender to make margarita’s. I might keep reminding them on that. It’s been a good weekend.

Took Dalia in for a Covid test after last week's fever. Was hoping for quick results, but it's 2-3 days return.

She is good, either way.
Asthma in my GF's 12 y.o.'s life is concerning, so we ducked out. Her 8y.o. has been badly sick before, too.
My whole life, I've been pretty healthy, knock wood.
Idk how long it takes for antibodies to show on tests, after exposure. Could be tested last night, if we rushed. Her fever has dropped and stabilized by the time she came to my house, TH noon.
Was hoping to find a drive thru test, but no luck.

On holiday, needing the break. We drove 1300 odd KM up to the off of Norway to see family. Kids were already up there, so me and the missus chilled, drove and saw some sights on the way up.
Arrived yesterday and went up into on of the tops to see the midnight sun over Lofoten. Found an abandoned hotel and had a look in. Some people being used to party in there.
