Summer is here in the Northern Coastal Mountains.

Foreground: a fishing rod and a large blue river. Background: sunlight trees to the left, a tree covered hill in shade to the right and a snow capped mountain range at the horizon.
Marigold sleeping on the back of a blue couch. I doubt anyone is actually reading this anyways.
An enclosure made from cedar, wrapped in 1x1” mesh. There are shelves and ramps for the cats.
A catio frame constructed from 2x4 cedar boards. Door is framed with 1x4 cedar board. The floor is 1x5 cedar fence boards.
Josie when she was 1 year old.
The Floof standing in a river. My heart sad to see her go, but beyond grateful for the time we had with her.
My “howling wolf” bike with a brand new GRX Di2 group set installed (42T 10-51). The bike is leaning against a pole with a white road reflector on it, surrounded by long grass, a barbed wire fence, a vista looking out over the valley, and an overcast sky obscuring the mountain peaks on the horizon.
A beautiful backlit mountain photo. Can you see the planet within the peaks?
Foreground: my bike leaning up against a park bench. Background: looking out over the valley to the mountains on the far side. The second picture is from high up in those mountains.
It’s marigold!
Marigold is purring

Cats in my lap!
The sign on the door reads: STOP! CATS! Where is Josie? close door tight!
Josie, sleeping on a couch.
A blue laptop bag sit on top of a blue roller bag. A blue sport coat hangs from the extended handle of the roller bag. All the blue was unintentional, but looks funny put together like this because they’re all slightly different shades of blue.

My slingshot and a rounded stone ready to be shot into a lake. In the background is a treed island and a hill dotted in snow that has been cleared of trees by historic snow slides.
Strava stats from a poor ride this morning.
A perfectly symmetrical elevation chart that looks like a damn triangle. My fucking legs and lungs hurt just seeing it again. I’m going to get a snack, I’ve earned it.

It’s a Strava screenshot. Again. Who is even reading this alt text?

Northern Lights Wildlife Society We would like to thank all of you for your support, suggestions, and encouragement; it means the world to us in these difficult times! We have received preliminary lab results. The diagnosis is Sarcocystis. This is a parasite that has been found in both black bears and grizzlies in recent years. It is transmitted through an unknown host, so we don't have to worry about transmission from bear to bear, which is a great relief. It is assumed that the host might be meat or fish, so we have stopped feeding both at this time until we can confirm that the parasite is killed by freezing. We still have Cider, who is showing signs, and we are treating her with antibiotics and a liver-supporting diet. The remaining bears in this group show no signs at this point. However, we are aiming to tranquilize all of them and take blood samples to check liver function. We do this to catch any onset of symptoms and treat it as early as possible. Bears are tough and often don't show signs until the illness is in an advanced state. If you can assist with veterinary costs, we would very much appreciate your help. https://www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/10649
