Well on Saturday I was supposed to meet up with a friend and help him work on his bus but Mother Nature conspired against us and dropped snow in the Calgary / Cochrane area. From what I understand Cochrane wasn’t too bad, but I had over 6 inches in my back yard. Needless to say we put it off for a bit. He’s in the process of putting in a new engine that will leave me in the dust. I’ll be struggling to go up a hill without losing speed and he’ll be gearing down and actually ACCELERATING up the hill. It’s the journey not the destination right? RIGHT?!?
He’s also in the process of selling his other bus. It’s a 1967 and it’s sweet. Check it out. If you’re interested drop him a line.
On Sunday I participated in Calgary’s 45th annual pathway and River cleanup. There was a group of divers that went in the river and braved the current pulling up trash from the river. We had everything from cans and bottles to knives and a little model of a Hindu temple… seriously. All in all we pulled about 500KG out of the river. It’s amazing that in this day and age people still think it’s okay to litter. Smokers are the worst… there were hundreds if not thousands of butts.
The blurb on the diving starts at about 5:16 on the video. Check it out.
I of course had the Green Monster out for this. Besides being fun to drive it was a great vehicle for getting geared up in scuba gear. All in all a great day out on the river, even though it felt like being in a washing machine sometimes and my buddy twisted his ankle. Hopefully Donnie takes it easy this week and gets some frozen peas on it and he’ll be ready to go when Lake Minnewanka opens up and we can camp and dive. Good times!!!
