From Tartine, we set off back down to the Sea Wall along False Creek. Our intent was to pedal as far as we could before a late lunch back on Davie Street.
Not much to tell. After working for 3 companies over 43+ years (38 years 7 months with my last company), I finally got that promotion I had waited my entire career for……retirement.
I have been exploring this new career for the past 7+ years and while it is not always exciting, the chance to do what I want for myself and my family instead of what my company wants has been very fulfilling. Early on, there was a long list of projects in my “to-do” hopper and I attacked these projects with a vengeance for the first 9 months of retirement. Eventually, my brain told me that this was not what retirement was about, so it took me another 5 months before my industriousness again took over and I attacked another line of projects, this time somewhat shorter and less complicated, as well as many new projects related to the family weddings in 2016. After going hard for 6 weeks and 3 weddings, my body was telling me to relax, then the flu bug hit and as soon as that was done with me, my sciatic acted up. No rest for the wicked. In 2020 and 2021, the Covid 19 pandemic changed the whole retirement gig. I was lucky to not be still working, for sure.
I enjoy photography, gardening, working with my hands, walking, cycling, skiing, travelling, reading and creating special photo and video productions obtained in my first pastime. I may never become wealthy in any of these pursuits, but I already feel I am rich in life experiences far beyond any expectation.

Those tacos look like the perfect ending to a bike ride! You guys sure covered a lot of ground. Have a great weekend!
That area has changed so so much since I left there in 1982. Wowsers. As to the reflection shot I thought it was pretty cool. Loved looking at the fall colours as we hunker down in a blizzard. Bernie
That area seems to be where most of the population growth is coming. Good thing all the Expo lands were available. I think we look better in the reflection than the weird red statue. We had a bit of snow here yesterday, but nothing serious. Seems that most of it went South. Hope spring gets here soon. Thanks for reading Bernie. Allan

The Expo lands were an unsightly mess when we lived there. As you said, good they had that space, but man, it’s so high density.
