The election is over and its an off day today for the Flames so I thought I would post a couple of pics that I took while at Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah.

Nice. Rock on!

BTW, any idea what they call those rock formations in your pic in Utah? They kinda look like the hoodoos that we have here.
I think that's what they call them there... or at least that's what I've been calling them.

Yesterday (Sunday) I decided to take a drive out to Kananaskis to see if I could spot anything worth photographing. I think I hit the jackpot.
I'm not as close as it looks as I'm using my 150-600mm (I had it at 600mm) telephoto lens and even then I stayed in the jeep while taking pics.
Mama Grizzly and her two cubs. From the size of the cubs I have to assume they were born the spring of 2018.

Get the vaccine dude. Not sure how it works out West but here they have them at pretty well every pharmacy with a nurse to administer it. Easy and fast

I was supposed to go this Sunday and I totally forgot. I've been running around like a headless chicken and it'll continue all week, so I don't know if I'll get a chance to get it until the weekend.

Sometimes I get 2 flu shots just to be safe.

I suddenly have the Starcraft stim pack sound playing in my head.

Death Stranding is such as weird but amazingly fun game. I can barely even figure out why it's so fun. The majority of players excited about the game are all doing online side quest stuff, not main story line stuff. I think it took me like 6-7 hours to make it to the 5th city and from many reports, that means I'm not even at chapter 3 yet and there's 15+ chapters or something like that. There's plenty of people who are still on chapter 3 or 4 but have poured something like 40-60 hours into the game mostly doing stuff on the side and literally still having an amazing time the entire time.

I almost want to say, it's a cut-scene heavy game with game play that's akin to the thrills of the resource management that comes with a 5 hour hike + mine craft or something?

But it's so damn neat and refreshing! I really wish life wasn't as insanely busy so that I could play more! I also wish I had the hardware to max out the eye candy attributes of this game, but damn, it's still a damn impressive game with my current basic set up.

I drove to my cottage yesterday, plan is to stay 10 days. I need to work few days but I also have Monday-Wednesday off next week. Work related stress is at all time high but this should help

Almost 5 am and I am sitting here waiting for my VueJS server to start behaving itself so I can get some work done. Sleep is for the weak. lol

Trying to take advantage of the time before x-mas to get some leading edge stuff accomplished. My mission is to create a front end for the wordpress/drupal api's. Don't know if that sounds like fun for anybody but I am on hour 24 and I am still primed.
