I was afraid that my my new camera was messing up like my old camera The screen just turned off probably to save battery. I thought you guys left me Don't do that to me scares me Huh Your screensaver was set for one minute. That's why the screen went blank and I panicked I turned that off Like being able to see what I'm filming Especially when it's you we're going hiking we got sunscreen We got water. We have a hat We have a wiener but we know you're gonna stay here I want to pretend like I like you to make mommy happy He's very excited today.

There's no option I am slowly documenting my transition from Timmy's to Starbucks Because the service is just so much More amazing. I mean the Timmy's people that are friendly and nice But you know they get you your stuff But it's just the the above and beyond friendliness of the people of Starbucks here that sort of gets me They're very friendly Unfortunately, the Tim Hortons in Steinback don't maintain the same standard That we had at the location that I worked at and Winnipeg And the line-ups are so ridiculously long at Tim's all the time and people just block the street They'll just line up on the street and block all directions of traffic waiting to get into Tim's and takes forever And I get so frustrated. I'm so sick of it. I started coming to Starbucks and they actually got really good coffee, you know It's a little pricier, but no price here, but it actually tastes like coffee You don't have to add an espresso shot into it for it to taste like coffee and then you end up paying the same amount anyway Yeah So Starbucks also gives these little things in their lids here so that it doesn't spill Unlike the new Timmy's lids You can't keep the coffee in the cup. It goes all over your cup holders all over your pants your shirt It's constantly leaking. They even have better cups at Starbucks Starbucks lids even seal Timmy's don't they spill all over you yesterday morning on my way into the mall Opening the store got coffee all down my shirt Hmm I always spill it too and in my pickup truck My center console is all filled with just it's always I always have to wipe it down It's like coffee stains. It's not really stains, but it's always sticky. It's always Timmy's coffee. It always goes everywhere, but You know, it's been a long transition and a long conversion We realize we need to be more open-minded to things. We're slowly being humbled this year Yeah, I've become much more open-minded in many areas of life Me too Like there is uh Starbucks in the center console that I'm gonna drink that's huge That's huge things are changing All right We're gonna be doing the chickadee trail Which is I think three and a half kilometers So we're right here in the park.

I don't care what you say It's a little narrow here. There we go. It's nice Okay, so we're following chickadee the red one Arrow this way Follow the red ones. I think we're done. No, maybe not just back at that road Oh that one road that was because we went in a loop So we're over halfway done for sure Yeah, we were halfway done before and then we turned around now. We're coming back south Yeah, because we're coming across that road and we're like, why does it have a speed limit on it? It's not wide enough for Yeah, I had a speed limit sign on it. It should be right over here Oh, no Oh, it's right here. Yeah, huh because we crossed the road right up there That says 30 kilometers an hour there and we're like what kind of road is this?

We saw for a picture We went in there all the way around to here. It's four kilometers or three 2.7 miles or something. Yep So we did it four kilometers. It's not that big of a hike It's usually about the length of the length of a walk I would go when I was on the highway over the road It's usually going about a four kilometer walk and I tried to do that every day. Remember that in 2017 When I was trying to get in shape for our wedding and it worked. I lost about 30 pounds that year or something I gained it all back already, but That's the uh, that's about the Distance that I went It's a hot day today though. I think it was 30 degrees.

This pond here is for your health and safety as you can tell Obviously This is a man-made pond designed to help control flooding during rainstorms Huh, if we ever had rain Water quality cannot be guaranteed because the pond collects street runoff Water levels can suddenly change without notice for your safety.
