Monday Hike




Went for my first hike here in Whistler today. Took these photos. This is just what I can get at within quick walking distance of my place.
Long haul truck driving, like 1500 other employment pursuits before it, has gone tits up. It absolutely and completely destroys your health in every way. My employer was also having me drive in excess of the legal allowable time. I really don't care about pushing things a little bit. In Canada if you get into an accident in that situation you are legally impaired. You might as well have had 9 beers. They subpoena the satellite records for your truck. They can tell exactly how long you were behind the wheel. And you're going to prison if the accident is serious. See ya.
I start one job here in Whistler, my new home, tomorrow evening. I start another one on the 13th. Each of these jobs provides adequate income. Working both of them combined should create quite a decent little cash flow. The cheapest day of heli-skiing up here costs $800. Lunch included.
