It's RAINING today, thank goodness!! Very windy, too. Alberta is desperate for rain, to try and help with all the wildfires that are burning.
Just before 7:00 pm today, our temperature is only 8°C (wind chill 3°C). So welcome after all the hot days we have been having. Sunrise was at 5:20 am and sunset is at 9:52 pm.
Seeing that the forcast showed expected rain on a number of days, I decided that I had better get out for a drive yesterday. Also, it was too hot and stuffy inside my place. The first part of my drive was smoky, but it did clear somewhat most of the day.
I started my drive by going straight south and then turning westward. following quite a few of my favourite roads. Unfortunately, I then travelled on a gravel road going south that I always enjoy, but gravel was being added to the road surface. Part of it had a raised gravel pile down the centre and I didn't realize how high this was. It sure didn't sound good as it scraped the underside of my vehicle, and gravel ended up being spit out of my wheels for a while afterwards. Each time I stopped the car ( at lights, etc.). as I pulled forward there was an unpleasant noise coming from my wheels. Only lasted a few seconds each time, but I thought I had better make an appointment to get things checked out, including any damage to the allignment. I have a week to wait before my appointment.
