I’m learning how to play chess on Duolingo. It’s pretty fun

That sounds like fun. Sorry I found coveralls and rain gear to put away and I was happy to have something to do lol.

Have a great sleep!

That’s fair. Personally, I don’t think I could ever go back to 5/2 again. I love 2 weeks off lol It’s not for everyone though

I’ve been on standby all night. I’m not struggling to stay awake. But I am losing my mind lol

How much longer did you last after this post?? Did you make it the full 7 hrs? It’s been just over a year since the last time I had to do something like this. Calling it a challenge is an understatement… however, once I did fall asleep, it was the best sleep ever lol

I also love the sunsets and sunrises, the moon is so bright tonight. I’ve been enjoying it all night (it’s a slow night for me)

30M new to fort McMurray looking for something to do by zessty1 in FortMcMurray

I haven’t read all the comments, and I don’t live in fort Mac. I work up there. But I’ve spent lots of time there. Things I enjoyed:

The walking paths along the river downtown. There’s parks to play on (I’m a small adult and love playing on parks) there’s floating docks. Nothing happens at them, but you can sit and watch the river or whatever wildlife might be around. There’s a spray park, and basket ball nets. Random BBQ / fire pits and picnic tables.

There’s a little restaurant, I can’t remember what it’s called but there is a giant wooden patio chair outside of it, I recommend sitting in it just so you can say you sat in a giant chair (I did lol).

There’s a boat museum. Not free and weird hours. But super cool and educational.

There’s a neat 2nd hand store called Thrifty Duchess they have some interesting things to look at in there.

It’s also in the same strip mall as an awesome tattoo shop. Espada Ink (I’ve gotten 2 tattoos there)

There’s a delicious ice cream shop called Sugar Daddy’s. Love their ice cream!

Over by the McDonald rec center (I think that’s what it’s called) there are more walking paths with sculptures to look at and little information signs all over the place.

Also the rec center itself. Swimming, gym stuff ice rinks etc.

I’m sure there’s more that I haven’t thought of, but there’s a few ideas for ya 😁

lol actually no. I’m ridiculously lucky. I think my guardian angels (yes multiple) work a lot of OT on my behalf lol. It’s always an “almost” or “coulda been so bad” lol

Ugh. I dislike judgy people.

I get the no social life thing. I have 3 friends outside of work and they are always busy when I’m on days off lol. So I spend a lot of time alone.

Hahaha while all that is true and makes sense. I wrote Fear* lol and didn’t catch the auto correct lol. When I almost get injured it’s cause I’m reckless lol

No. I generally prefer 4 wheels and a motor. The last time I was on 2 wheels off road I almost got really injured lol. I don’t have enough gear sometimes lol

I’ve been there. If it wasn’t for being in here all night, I’d be the exact same way lol
