    Spent a moment at Kitsilano Beach it was unrecognizably crowded, which is great!

    Got to reconnect with friends, play some games (finally some time for Civ 6, PEAK), enjoyed a day of rest.

    It’s a good day to be proud of our country and proud of each other. With this confidence we should recognize the Indigenous roots of our country and write a new chapter in reconciliation and collaboration with our diverse population across our nation.

    Hanging out with neighbours on the front porch with the BBQ blazing on the driveway. Hot dogs, Hamburgers, good company, and good spirits. Happy Canada everyone! So glad this is where I live. 🇨🇦✌️

    Started off watching the Blue Jays beat the Yankees (who better to beat on Canada day!)

    Made homemade poutine for the family for supper.

    Walked to the neighborhood Canada day block party. A teenage band was playing Tragically Hip songs when I arrived.

    Later made myself a Ceaser (sadly, no celery - couldn’t find any that wasn’t US grown), and watched some TV with the wife.

    All in all, a good day.

    Went for a walk with the kids, went to the beach with the whole family. Bought Death Stranding and experimented with an IgAN friendly Chickpea and Cucumber salad! It was bland, but I guess that’s what you get when your kidneys don’t work so well and salt is off the table.

    Blew the turbocharger on my chore tractor, so I’ll be celebrating by spending $3900 at my local John Deere dealership tomorrow for a new one. Minus the $388 core, I guess.

      At least it’s not one of the newer JDs that they won’t let you work on.

        That’s overhyped. We have new stuff, we work on it without having to get techs out.

    I took my kids to visit their grandparents, and then we went to the town celebration. Lots of red, white, and maple leaves, but nothing too patriotic otherwise.

    We’re heading to the fireworks later. They’re small, but it’s a nice community event. I always hope there’s a spontaneous round of Oh Canada after - that happened once on a foggy Canada Day in Halifax and it was amazing.
