Just got back after over a week in the Toronto area, I see we're still doing the rain every day thing here this summer?

On a positive note locally, they had more smoke in Toronto the past week than we've had all summer in Calgary. So there's that.

I'd take some rain right now. Smokey as #### in Nanaimo this morning.

We have had a beautiful summer until now though.

Yeah a good freeze for a few days to knock these Skeeters down would be fantastic

Just pick your least favorite child or friend and tie them up as bait for the mosquitos, i usually give myself a 30 foot buffer away from where I want to enjoy outdoor time.

Just canceled campsite reservations for this weekend, had a 42km hike planned. 2nd weekend canceled this summer.

Oh well, at least I'm donating some decent money to Parks Canada.

https://www.fs.usda.gov/about-agency...0every%20night.

“Bats eat many kinds of insects, including pests such as mosquitoes and beetles. Just one little brown bat can easily catch 1,000 mosquito-sized insects in an hour; a nursing mother eats approximately 4,500 insects every night.”

Put up a few bat houses, or just let them live in your attic.

I can't remember seeing a lot of hail when I lived in the pass. Have you seen any this summer?
