No water this morning, city's fixing a water leak, digging up a neighbor's driveway to reach it. Got a notice the water would be off starting at 8am and hopefully done by noon. Got a 5 gallon bucket next to the toilet and a gallon of water for coffee.
Got the new tv yesterday, had to get the next door neighbor to help mount it, I could pick it up ok but couldn't see around it to get it in place, just too awkward a size to do that alone. Just a 75", didn't hold out for an 80, they're a big price jump, didn't want to wait another year or two. Looked at a variety of 4K content, 75" gets a viewing anomaly on a couple of them, hard to explain but it detracts a little. I may not ever want anything bigger. 4K isn't as big a noticeable jump in resolution as 720 to 1080 is, almost disappointing, but overall it is better looking. Not expected, casting photos from my iphone, they're way sharper looking than on the old 1080. iphone photos are even higher resolution than 4K, should have expected that. Plan is for the old 65" to hang on the wall in the kids' bedroom, granddaughter can watch those annoying toddler shows while I watch war movies in the living room with the little guy.

Morning Woods.
We haven’t felt anything here last night. If you google map Kitimat BC, that’s where we are at.
pulled into the parking lot at 11:40 ish.
Only was thanked once for “bringing Covid here” as he slowly drive passed the truck and boat and only once did someone drive slow and gave us a “sour look”. Both incidents happened in Smithers BC at the grocery store and because we have AB plates on. (Insert a huge eye roll). I thanked loudly to the chap that thanked us.
Yup, there are brain dead trolls out there.

Russ, there is so much I’m going to have to learn, like what is the appropriate hour to start drinking beer
