    I haven’t watched the convention. My doctor told me not to watch the news. I follow the markets and sports scores and that’s it.

    Thats a good start. I think you are more serious about maintenance and upkeep than most, I see a lot sitting on the roadside rotting.

    Your accommodations tell the story....

    No unfortunately. The fires shut down the park and burned about 30% of the town from what I heard. Hopefully they can recover from this devastating event quickly. We'll have to wait for another time.

    Tomorrow is Lake Louise and Morraine Lake, which everyone is excited to see:)

    I was at Lake Louise in 1979. I will never forget the beauty of it.

    I have given it a good home. It sits closer to my shop and I walk by it all the time. Being closer I use it as a coffee house and since I don’t have a tv in the house I’ll watch baseball and football in it.

    It has 50 amps of 220v and it’s own 500 gallon propane tank.

    Most mornings I come out here and have my first cup of coffee.

    It really looks nice at night.

    It’s not really my traveling style and if I sold it I would take a huge loss. Couple that with the fact that I would have to remodel the house if I didn’t have it and that would cost me twice as much.

    Yeah, that's a happy life. :) I know your home is a lot smaller than the photos make it seems. I assume the propane tank feeds the rig?

    You've got a great decorator's eye, and the nice part is that it all looks very low-maintenance!

    We "lost control" of our yard this year. We have "the bee yard," which is just a corner of our lot that we let go crazy. Biggest mistake ever. Our hive was there, but when they absconded it was too late to restart a colony, nor did we have time. Well, what was supposed to be wildflowers sounds nice, until you realize that is another way of saying "weeds" and "Seed generator"

    The thistle that took hold is the worst.

    I'm looking for a high schooler that love horticulture to come in and help clean it out.

    Yes it feeds just the diesel pusher. I have three 1,000 tanks for the house.

    The house is only 1,750 sf which is a lot smaller than my 3,450 sf house in Seattle which I sold to move here.

    It’s small but I live alone so it’s plenty big for me although the motor home adds a lot of living space. It makes a great guest room and is away from the main house so they have their own privacy. I winterize it in the winter so they do have to walk 35 yards to use the bathroom.

    I added a 30x50’ garage/shop which really gives me more space. There is also a 24x36’ garage down by the house.

    I would love to be a beekeeper. I have plenty around. They seem to like my flowers.

    It should last me 3-4 years although I plan on topping off each summer.

    A few from today, at Lake Louise & Moraine Lake. Just incredibly beautiful places to see, preferably in person ;)

  12. We were in the Banff/Jasper area in 1987 and 2003. It is too bad about the fires. I always felt that the further north you went, the more spectacular it was.

    Thanks - the thing about this area to me is that no matter which direction you turn you're faced with these incredible views, you're right in the middle of it all!

    We hoped to get a bit farther north along Trans Canadian 1, but vacationing with grandkids means we adapt, so that will have to wait. We're already talking about getting back to see Jasper when that can be done. This has been a great time that we'll all hopefully remember as a trip we'd repeat ;)

    Ya, I was speaking from my own personal experience, and your doctors recommendation is probably a good one.:)

    The high today is going to be 86 with high humidity. Inside the house it will be 72 with humidity around 30%. I’m getting my shop spray foamed with insulation today. Glad I’m not doing it as it at least 20 degrees warmer in it and closer to 40 degrees near the ceiling. The good part is once it’s done it’s expected to keep it a lot cooler.

    Film at eleven.

    High humidity for sure!Something we rarely see was apparent this morning as what looks like fog, was actually the condensation that formed on the outside of our windows from the 72 degree inside temp being transferred through the windows. The airport is reporting a dew point of 74 right now which is considered oppressive.

    When we landed in Chicago this evening our house temp read 88° with 56% humidity. I turned the A/C on and by the time we got home about an hour later it had cooled to only 86. But felt okay as it wasn't humid. By morning we'll be nice and cool, ready for the hot stuff tomorrow
