Friday July 15th

A huge thunderstorm settled into Calgary around Midnight and it rained like the dickens until 2pm.
There was almost 2 inches of rain in 12 hours. It was coming down so hard at one point, that the back yard swales were backing up and my swale covers were floating around the backyard.

The water on the street backed up so badly that we had a lake for a few hours afterwards.

The boys got creative and pulled the kneeboard around behind a bicycle to entertain themselves.

I fixed the woodpile on the side of the house as it was leaning on the neighbours fence - and rather than ask me nicely to deal with it she complained to Krista and made up the biggest lie that she had spoken to me repeatedly? sheesh

The sun arrived at 230 pm and turned into a rather nice day for a while.
  Nicholas and I tacked up and headed for the stampede to work our evening shift and true to form it rained off and on most of the evening. We got out after 10 PM and headed to the train but not before Nicholas had to catch a few Pokémon in the area.  It was sure nice to get moderately early for a change and get a good nights rest.
