Some of the complaints about how the weekend was kinda ruined because of the forecast.
"Weather report said rain all weekend so we didn't plan to do stuff outside!"
Ehh... I guess. Planned indoor stuff for Saturday, but then went outside as much as possible afterwards. I had scooters, jackets and umbrellas in the trunk of the vehicle and we took opportunities to get a few hours of outdoor fun yesterday before being finally being pelted by water by late evening. I'm approaching it like hiking in the mountains. Plan and prep for a variety of scenarios and take advantage of what you get.
I guess I'd rather rain than forest fire smog to keep me indoors... but IMO the thing that drive me craziest this summer is the construction.
I don't recall being as frustrated at construction season than this year. Highways, feeders, repaving, huge variations in uneven pavement, detours, major potholes/pooling of water etc. in many areas I drive regularly. It just seems like more areas are worked on significantly at the same time in so many quadrants of the city.
My suspension is starting to make spring noises not too dissimilar to the sounds I hear after driving 100 kmph for hours on gravel roads. Gotta get that looked at soon. My car's windshield is a disaster, but I held off replacing it because it seemed like bigger chipping rocks are frequently still being kicked up when driving on Deerfoot.
