OT: Off Season / Summer Thread

[UFO]

A pic from 2 weeks ago near where I live. Only 1.5 weeks to work, then I'm off to turkey for a week. I always have to wear a hat or shirts of the jets or my local soccer team when I'm abroad at one point.

The Ducks are infamous for supercells...

Once had a river flowing through my tent when I arrived back to my campsite...

Could see it hammering the area as I hiked back 2 to 3 miles downhill from trout fishing in one of the rivers off the East escarpment...

It's it's own little eco system...

Awesome territory...

As I was driving towards it my phone alarmed much like an Amber alert too.
Unnerving to say the least.
Yeah once you drive under it’s like an upside down bowl with rain coming at you diagonal sheets, fortunately the hail was very small at that point
A neat experience in retrospect but scary at the time, I was like why am I driving through this???

Is it just me, or are other people getting just a little bit tired of seeing "backyard pics" from people who live in much nicer places than Winnipeg? I'm looking at you @Jet @PhilJets et al.

This is my consolation prize for not seeing snow and ice.

I haven't played beer pong since my wrist surgery 2.5 years ago. Hope to do it somewhen this summer. Event though I'm in my 30s.

Well I'm sitting here this morning, looking out on the bluffs above the Bristol Channel on the Gower Peninsula. Sipping my coffee. Enjoying my life. But I will spare you the pictures!

Seriously one of my favourite places on Earth and wouldn't mind moving here in 5-10 years. (keep my cottage on LOTW though)

Where is your cottage at LOTW?

Sadly, the view from my window is your typical Winnipeg summer scene...

...and what's worse, it will still look like this come winter, only a bit more white...

A very accurate depiction of the construction season in Winnipeg. Winter and construction make up our 2 season climate here.

Where is your cottage at LOTW?

On Clearwater Bay. (island near middle channel)

 

[Gil Fisher]

This has turned out as badly as when we showed @Jets 31 how to embed GIFs.

It's a brand new pipe dock. built for high water plus a foot. it's now 6" under water. it's fine, but touch to park a boat at during a westerly wind

I built a new boat slip (pipe dock) this winter and it’s 18” under water. My new boat is still sitting at Westhawk Marine. I might get it in August but it’s more likely it doesn’t get launched. Boat traffic on July long was basically non existent

Oh well first world problems.

Saw a vehicle today with a personalized plate that said WINJETS. It was a Utah plate.

I have been gone on holiday for almost a week now. Figured something big was about to happen in the meantime Was really excited to get on this board 5 mins ago and what did I read? Nothing really Talking about disappointed expectations

Maybe the best approach to the Jets for the summer is.... disappear, enjoy the summer, don't answer the phone, don't read any news in print or online... and then show up in September and see what you have for a team.

Well we've got some 30 degree weather coming again...which means it's time for every host on CJOB to spend a portion of every hour interviewing some "expert" on how to "deal with the heat." lol...

For several years now, the only times I ever listened to CJOB was when I was in the car and either the Jets or the Bombers were playing.
