How I spent my Saturday

Hey Instagram, I think you need to fix your algorithm for advertising. Anybody that knows me and knows that this is an absolutely ridiculous thing to try to sell me !

I lost a cousin to a farming accident today. Please be careful at work. Please never forget to tell friends and family you love them when ever you can.

@mitchellab.bsky.social I’ve been without cell service all day again, did I miss anything?

My sons grade 9 grad. Yeah I know it’s only grade 9, and he hasn’t actually accomplished anything, yet. I firmly believe in celebrating your wins and celebrating your friends wins! I’m happy for him and I’m proud of him!

While riding bikes in Fishcreek park with my 14 y/o son. “Dad if you see a narrow path, not too narrow. You know wide enough for you to fit down. Let’s take that one.” Me. “Ok son”

Gluten-free Oreos. If you wanna know what winning a dollar in the lottery feels like. Also, they are literally twice as expensive as regular Oreos.

Hiked into a little known lake in Banff park this weekend. Great day but a little overcast.

Best one I’ve read today!

Well, I voted first thing this morning. Was kind of surprised how busy it was there. Also been told that over 28,000 people voted early in my riding! Looking forward to seeing some results in about 12 hours.

We need to get one of these in Calgary! Amazing breakfast place. I’ll chip in to be a minority owner.

After a couple of very long and hard days of work, I’ve almost caught up. My reward; sitting in a really nice office chair outside of some beautiful brick buildings downtown Calgary enjoying a late lunch and getting some much needed sunshine on my body.

Got my ears lowered I look like a human being again. Starting to look a little too much like a Sasquatch.

A 15 year old just asked me for a fist bump in Starbucks. Am I unknowingly cool, or much more likely the butt of a teenagers joke?

Anyone want to trade jobs for a bit? My back hurts I’ll happily sit at your desk for a couple weeks. You can think of your time in my job as a learning experience.

A rare tournament of events I paid for my coffee with cash today. They carry so little in the drawer due to everybody paying with cards, these days, that they gave me my change all in nickels that’s what $.80 worth of nickels looks like!

Remember what you do it for

I just watched two CF 18s fly very low over the city of Calgary. Normally, that would be a very exciting thing to see . Kind of gave me a little bit of concern when I saw it today though.

Me and Olivia. Silver medals at city championships!

Nathanial Rathcliff and the night sweats, with my kids

Somebody that knows how much stress I’m under and how much I need to get done in the next two days sent me the best little care package! Thank you! Good friends are amazing!

I can guarantee you my day started worse than yours

I just got called young man by the woman manning the at the door at Costco. I’m closing it on 50 how young do I actually look?

I learned the term “virtuous avoidance”, today. Now I can label the understanding of why I can eat off the floor of my work van, but I still need to get some paperwork done this week.

It’s a long way back. Two concussions and a back injury before X-mas. Takes a long time to rebuild your confidence and believe in yourself again. Popped a beautiful goal today and was player of the game! Love you son.

After spending all day, freezing my butt off wearing two pairs of pants. I will spend the rest of the day without pants in an effort to make up for the disproportion amount of pants on my body today.

Over heard at a wholesaler this morning. Contractor. “I need A, B, and C. But only if made in Mexico or Canada! Fuck Trumph!” When even construction guys are pissed off, the resolve of this nation may not be where Trumph thought it was.

It’s wild how cruelty can become so, En Vogue, so damn quick.

Just left the dentist. My face has not hurt this much since the last time I got in a fistfight.

I was not diagnosed with ADHD until I was 38 after suffering a severe Concussion at 37. Went 4 days without my Vyvanse over the weekend, because well I have ADHD and really struggle to follow through when under stress sometimes. I can tell you the exact time on the clock when it “kicked in”
