Looks like our Alberta power grid is running at max capacity over the last 4 days...
Ama has advised motorist it could be 5 too 8 hours in our area if road side assistance is required,,, emergency call-outs are priority 1 on their list...
Our little town is in shut-down mode,,, guess ill head out too the farm and check cattle and visit with the horses...
Our friend Zagg isn't a happy camper...
Old teddy is pretty happy,,, its days like this when he's in his norm...
Hes kinda camera shy...
Awwwww yes,,, the good old days of be'ing out there and making fun of what we can ...
Canada's great white North...
Be safe out there all

Of course ill add some photos of a bike ride later tonight too keep the thread real,,, I bet it turns into an analog ride when the battery freezes solid... lol
you need to wrap old teedy around you a warm fur coat! we have something similar here, Niki the big black Bouvier likes sitting out looking at whats going on, needs to be coaxed into the house? guess i'm kinda boring!
Looks like we're going too get a break in the weather finally,,, our friends down south in the lower 48 are putting on the miles,,, they weren't too keen too this photo i posted... lol vvv
Their definitely not interested in joining in on any of our winter ride's,,, its not that bad if a person has the time too suit up...
Purhaps we climatize too the conditions We have,,,, just like snow-boarding,,, sledding any other winter sports...
Pretty sure it's a Eastern Slopes run just above the foot-hills plateau weekend ,,, pilot the comand-center too a few staging areas and scout out a few game trails...
A over night camping trip with bon-fire at night...
Awwwwe yes,,, the quality of be'ing our there...

New game plan 2024 is in the works for my old standard crank bike from days gone by...
I'm planning on low river bottom mtb trails with Woops & What-Nots too carve off some trails and fishing ,,, of course there will be days when i can turn up my VO-2 Max...
Kinda like this stuff that I've done threw out parts of the interior of B.C. back in the 2000's...
Ok,,, more slow """low bottom""" stuff threw the trees,,, Radium area West and Golden BC since its close too home...
Low grade terrain with some challenges along the way,,, even if i have too put the boots on the ground...
Cover a few miles ,,, stuff the bike into the forest and head in deeper on foot """if""" that be the case...
Get in on the tributarie that feed into the main rivers,,, park the @zz and throw a few hooks...
Part time given'er,,, alot of time relaxing,,, rain gear and tarp too fashion into the trees too limit the soaking... lol...
Camp out at the comand center at night
