September 10, 2012

Well it started to rain yesterday at lunch and it seemed to stop by dinner then it must of started again in the night but had quit by morning. Our ground really needed the rain. Hopefully it helped with the fire burning in Strathcona Park which started I think over a week ago from a lighting strike and due to the location, fire crews can't get to it.

Talking about fire. Apparently the road from Gold River to Campbell River was closed yesterday due to a house fire near Strathcona Lodge. Crews did respond to that one and hopefully it's out and the road is open again. Good thing I did not try and go to town yesterday I may not have made it that way or home again. (I went the day before)

Long Weekend

Well its the long weekend in September and I have to work on Tuesday. I was off for a week now back to the grind of work. Where did the summer go? Days are still warm but the nights getting cool.

Out Everyone Out

Well after almost an hour of work this morning we were evacuated with 911 called because of a possible propane leak. The fire department came and shut off the propane; ventilated the building and almost 2 hrs later we were back inside working. We now have no propane on so no hot water at work but it could be worse. We could have had an explosion. Yes we were talking about if the tanks blew up how safe were we really standing outside at the big house about 100 meters from our building......?????

July 13 - Thrive Unite weekend

Okay so there ended up being ice bergs in the rivers around Gold River this week. Okay they were the crazy freezing people variety who thought jumping in the river was a good idea. (It was really :) )

It's is also Thrive Unite weekend. All the Northgate campuses are getting together in Gold River. At least the youth are. But leaders seem to be dropping like flies. With illness. Hope all goes well.

July 10

Well I guess summer is here. The other day at about 1230ish pm the temperature was 24 degrees which feels nice and hot. A few of are even thinking about going and jumping into rivers or a lake even if they still fill like ice burgs should be floating in them. Our theory it will feel soooooooo good and help us cool off and sleep at night.

July 3 2012

Well the long weekend has come and gone. The ball tournament is over and I didn't get burnt. Okay that could be because it was over cast all weekend and raining yesterday. Now its July 3 and it is still pouring rain. We have all brought out the winter jackets again that's if they were ever put away in the first place.

I thought summer was to be warm-hot with sunshine.. Where is all this cold damp weather coming from. May long weekend was so nice we are hoping that that was not our only snippet of summer.
