Yesterday was donation 98 for @canadaslifeline. That means I should hit the elusive 100 by the end of this year. Fantastic!#blooddonor #canadaslifeline #itsinyoutogive

Well, apparently @jon.snow.the.cat.yyj is now pair programming with me. Working in some code this morning, this guys jumps up on my shoulder and lays down like this. Always good to get a second set of eyes on things. His definition of a “bug” is different than mine though. #jonthecat #jonsnowthecat #pairprogramming

A big well done to this guy. I took E mountain biking at Bear Mountain today. He crashed 5 minutes into the ride and after dusting himself off, we continued on and had a great couple loops. #mtbvi #yyj #mountainbiking #bikesarefun #crashingsucks

We had a visit from the neighborhood Cooper’s hawk today. We see them flying all over, see them in the nearby Garry Oak trees, and hear ther constant whistling noises. This is the closest to our house they’ve come though. #hawks #coopershawk #backyardwildlife #esquimalt #yyj

Today’s route was pretty ambitious and I ended up cutting off parts of it. I had planned to do all of Willis Pt road and yo to the end of Millstream past Caleb Pike. Turned out I had the very I was hoping for and just needed distance. Great couple days on the bike. Time for some proper recovery. @cycleoflifetour #cycling #yyj #bikesarefun #cycleoflifetour #cycleoflifetour2020

Bad idea on the day: turning up Bear Mountain 77km into a ride on a super hot day after having done a long ride the day before.
