Jeep Yoga
So, breaking myself into the new jeep. It runs, well, with a few quirks. The Passenger door doesn't open. Sorry Hitchhikers. And the door behind drivers doesn't open. And don't dare try and lock the drivers door or you'll spend hours crunching yourself in other doors and crawling over rubbish to get in. Which I have done and learned the hard way, this jeep, just keep it messy enough no one wants to break in.
It came with a single key. And I would jostle it and think to myself "I should get another one cut" - but - I've never lost a vehicle key in my life.
Until Monday, when I did, and had to pay the dealers to cut me another, $80.00 worth of "Ouch" in a hard lesson learned.
It overheats going up logging roads - just like every other one I've owned. Top up the rad fluid. Same problem. Clutch Fan need replacing? Maybe, but, god-damned - every time, every single one, wtf is up? I'll investigate a few other things first. There's no way - unless I find a solution - that this is getting to the top of Crystal Mountain, and - well, it's time. Overdue. There's a big dig gonna happen and great things will be found...
So, expeditions, twice to Revelstoke, Nakusp, the Valley, other areas, a few new roads, no great discoveries on the old ones; one new area I found of promise seems to hold great potential for giant quartz crystal clusters. None found, as of yet, but - well, the ground is good - and looks right, big area to be covered, merely need to do some poking with a shovel and pick and see what I can unearth. Sometimes great things are hidden in plain sight.
And so far that's it. Great swarms of mosquitos are everywhere, in town even, and worse upon the mountains, I've bought some "Off" but will definitely need some mosquito netting - there's just too many, this year they're insane. And hopefully it reduces the deer-fly and midge bites as well. Then there's the heat, 34 degrees the other day, sweating buckets, drenched, too fucking hot. These are the terms...
Now, tomorrow back to work, 30 hours in hell to buy myself a few days in the high-swamps of BC...

NYC - PSA re: Nuclear War
And, having watched New York's PSA re: Nuclear War, I'm a little bit like "WTF?"
I'm getting the feeling we're all being groomed to accept this as inevitable...

Around Trout Lake
Racing to catch the sunset, unfortunately ended up on the east end of the lake, the scenery - trees blazing in the dying light - was from the west.
Ungodly mosquitos this year, the lake looked as if it were pouring....

The Great Curtain Caper
Shakespeare, as done by community theatre, "A Midsummers Night Dream" yet again, popular out here for reasons I need hardly go into. Stolen bedsheets, tablecloths, curtains, gaudy embroidery stolen from Grandma's cupboard and repurposed into the local costume designers idea of Shakespearean dress, Eurithmy swathed 'dancers' interpreting the dialogue, easily as out there as the Valley version I saw a few years ago, and while Shakespeare would be rolling in his grave rest assured everyone else was laughing...
