Saturday, 23 May 2020: our temperature early evening is 15C (windchill 15C). Sunrise is at 5:33 am, and sunset is at 9:33 pm. Overcast this morning, with a mix of sun and cloud in the afternoon. All the rain we have had the last few days is adding to the melting snow coming down from the mountains, resulting in local flooding. Already, there is flooding in Fish Creek Park, including at Hull's Wood, Bridge 9, and Bebo Grove, as of 22 May. Friends of Fish Creek Park are telling people not to visit these areas and to respect all signage and closures.
I actually got out briefly two mornings ago, on 21 May - to the car dealership! My 15-day wait for a car repair appointment ended, thank goodness, but they were unable to find anything wrong. One of the staff told me that they had just replaced the push-start button in the same vehicle model as mine, for another customer. That was what I had wondered about, too. So, they ordered in the right part for me and, apparently, it arrived yesterday morning. Unfortunately I have to wait another 5/6 days for the earliest appointment before it can be installed. Luckily, it is still under warranty. Sooner or later, though, I will be seeing birds and other welcome things again, something that has happened on just a few scattered drives during the last two and a half months. I had to risk taking the car out to get groceries yesterday today, though, as I hadn't been since 28 April, roughly three weeks ago!

Added 23 May 2020:
"There are currently no bison in Waterton Lakes National Park. Parks Canada relocated the bison herd before the Kenow Wildfire to keep the animals safe. The bison handling facilities sustained some damage and the grassland in the Bison Paddock burned. We are assessing how to fix the handling facility and are planning to eventually bring the bison back. It is too early to provide a time frame on the return of the bison as this depends on the natural recovery of the native grassland that make up their habitat." From Parks Canada.
I am adding the description that I added under a previously-posted photo taken on the same trip, to remind myself of where I went and what I saw.
"From 26 to 28 August 2014, I was lucky enough to go with friends down to Waterton Lakes National Park and then further east on the third day. Fantastic scenery, 4 Black Bears (including one that was swimming in the lake), Bison, Deer, Golden-mantled Ground Squirrels, Chipmunks, various bird species including Burrowing Owls and a family of Dusky Grouse (uncommon in the park, so we were very lucky), a few wildflowers, several Yellow-bellied Marmots (a first for me!), and a few different insect species. I even got the chance to see three or four new-to-me old, wooden grain elevators.
The weather forecast that I saw before we left Calgary said that we were in for three beautiful days of sunshine. So, luck was on our side, giving us warm, sunny days - until the BIG STORM hit! We had driven eastwards from the park, hoping to see Yellow-bellied Marmots and, if we were really lucky, a Burrowing Owl. The storm was approaching very fast, around 5:00 p.m. just before we started our return trip to Calgary. It was like nothing we had ever seen before - a menacing cloud that was travelling fast and furious. Despite trying our best to get away from it, it eventually engulfed our car, surrounding us with more or less zero visibility, pounding hail, thunder and lightning, and tremendously strong winds. There was nothing to do but stop the car and sit tight, hoping that the hail would not break the car windows and that this severe thunderstorm would not develop into a tornado! This storm was very scary, but at the same time, exciting (only because all turned out OK in the end!). Fortunately, we weren't caught in the very centre of it. Our road trip sure went out with a bang! Later, I contacted the Alberta Tornado Watch and posted a photo for them to see. They said the storm that happened that day was a mesocyclone."
The incline is overgrown at padarn country park in Llanberis and remember to keep your distance if walking there.

Mission accomplie ! La structure pour les futurs panneaux solaires et un nouveau déperditeur statique sont installés et fonctionnels ☑️ Incroyable d’avoir vécu ça avec Aki à l’extérieur : c’est le genre d’expérience qui vous lie encore plus. Et grâce au professionnalisme de Megan, Mark et Shane à l’intérieur, aidés par Oleg et Piotr qui se remettaient tout juste de leur sortie à eux et avaient du travail tout le weekend, et des équipes sur 🌎, on ne s’est jamais senti seuls dans le grand vide. (Et on nous a même gardé de la 🍦 pour le retour, si ce n’est pas un équipage de rêve…) (oui, après presque 7 heures à se mouvoir dans un scaphandre aussi rigide que protecteur, les calories et un dîner roboratif sont *très* bienvenus). Emploi du temps léger aujourd'hui pour récupérer, puis retour des expériences mardi. 💪
My first spacewalk without Shane is a wrap, more than happy to be with Aki though! Even though it was just the two of us outside, we never feel alone, with Mark, Megan and Shane on the inside following and helping, and the best teams on Earth over the radio we felt like an extension of a well-oiled machine! They even saved some 🍨 for us afterwards, #dreamteam. Spacewalks last 7 hours and are like top sport so we need the calories afterwards! The new solar panels are ready to be slotted in to the base structure we assembled, these will be installed sometime next year, handing over to the next team to keep maintaining and improving the station and what it stands for.
