Huh… ICBC (the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia - BC's public auto-insurance corp) sent out an email explaining the rules and best practices for using a roundabout.
We're getting a new roundabout on an important intersection of Highway 4 in #PortAlberni. They're building it now at Hwy4 and Beaver Creek Road. Quite the project!
This is a handy primer/reminder on how to use roundabouts. Most people around here seem either clueless or terrified of them. lol

I am really REALLY fed up with people who don’t respect campfire bans!!! We were doing well this summer, no wildfires nearby. Then some idiot was probably having a smoke break. Or decided to go dirt biking in the dry brush. (hot exhaust) or, most likely, had a cigarette or started a campfire.
The highway is not affected, but BC Wildfire has also not yet gotten their full team out. We’ll see.

Working from home today due to scheduled highway closure which means I could do yardwork early when i would normally be commuting! Woot!
Thinned the apple trees! Slightly more apples on the Blushing Delight than the Northern Spy.
Both trees look healthy though it looks like aphids have invaded the Blushing Delight with the assistance of the local ant population.
We got more alt-grass seed to finish off the last part of the driveway before its' morning drink.

Today in #Tseshaht :TseshahtFN: #Hupacasath :hupacasath:
Saw čims (Black Bear) today! He was pretty scared of the busy road. Smart bear! Didn't get a good photo, and only mediocre video, but here you go :) 🐻
(this was near the Visitors Centre near the #BCHwy4 junction in #PortAlberni)

REALLY GOOD day helping out the #ndp today. Big sign wave on #bchwy4 in #portalberni. Gord Johns was there and then jetted off to other spots in the riding. 🏃
I helped out with some data entry, then knocked on doors in my neighbourhood.
Talked to some voters (pro and not so sure). All good conversations. Helped someone make a plan to vote.
It feels really good to help.
If the thought ever crossed your mind to help a campaign, do it! You won't regret it!

Sitting here in a lineup on #bchwy4 for some road work.
Our 2019 Hyundai Kona Electric just passed 200,000km this week! I got a snap of the odometer at palindrome 199991 which was satisfying. But a sudden snow storm/hail storm prevented me from capturing 200k and 200002 officially, but that's ok.
I just made its *first* appointment to have its brake pads replaced. Amazing longevity on these EVs for brakes. I really should have done it about 10k ago but still.
Great car. Age is starting to catch up a bit.
It needs the EV battery coolant flushed/replaced this year, and some small stuff is wearing:
The passenger side seat heater is on the fritz, and one of the door lock mechanisms is extra loud.
But all things considered, for the amount of kilometres in the past 5 years (really more like 3 due to pandemic), and the addition of the utility trailer, it's doing great! #EV #Kona #Hyundai #Electric #carlife

I have been wanting to take a picture of this display ever since the owner of the junkyard in Errington, BC on #bcHwy4 erected it last week.
The time and care he put into this is just 🧑🍳 💋
The flags. The sign. The toilet. Amazing.
😂 😂
The dinosaur was already there. It’s a cool spot obviously the owner is an artist.

Another favourite #bchwy4 pitstop on the way home is Beaufort Provincial Park on Cameron Lake.

Apparently today was an eventful day for white Teslas in #portalberni 😆
This parking job in the very same very tight/busy parking lot earned this white Tesla a post on s**t parkers of #portalberni FB group today (not by me). 😂 #tesla #baddrivingAnd going back to our x-Can trip with the near exact same trailer, we never once blocked a travel lane while charging. 😝 This is a skill/courtesy issue. 😝 There isn’t even anything in the trailer, that tarp is going to blow away! 😂

Ruhoh, someone didn't plan their trip to the West Coast quite right. 😝 ⚡️
tbh, there are lots of reasons you might run out. When we drove x-Canada a friend ended up in the same position with her Bolt on a tow truck between Thunder Bay and Winnipeg. But that was because of literal lightning ⚡️ hitting a crucial charging spot she had planned to use.
No lightning in the forecast here tho.... 😂

(no Tesla chargers yet in Tofino/Ucluelet), only #bchydro CCS so they need an adapter) -

We had a real fish outta water situation today on #bchwy4 between #PortAlberni and #Tofino. A sea lion found its way up Kennedy Inlet, which connects pretty directly to the large Kennedy Lake. Not sure why she decided to come up on land, let alone wander into the road. Poor guy!
At least the rain kept her cool.

Quite a bit of snow in the mix on the radar around Central VI. If you are driving today take care on the mountain passes. You might see some rain/snow mix particularly heavy rain could turn quickly to wet snow.

Just to make sure we don't forget it's winter on the west coast of Canada. It is now blustery and raining again.
But #BCHwy4 has reopened! Single lane traffic. It is apparently a gigantic mess.

My internet connection at home since the power outages is deeply unhappy for some reason.
Not sure if it is my ISP (Telus, which is generally extremely reliable), hardware on my home network, or something else, but updates to the website are slow and I am taking the webcams offline temporarily while I troubleshoot.
#bchwy4 remains closed.

And you are damn right they do this at night. Not during the day. #BCHWY4 #BCPOLI #Forestry #AndOldGrowthLogging

How would you like to see a 300 year-old tree? Oh sorry it's not standing. It's in a truck. The #BCElxn2024 is over. Time to start shipping out the old growth trees again. I am following this truck on the highway right now 😠 😠 🌳 🌳
edited to add: I didnt think of it at the time cuz it's my normal commute, but remember the 2010 Olympics Opening Ceremonies with the big trees in Cathedral Grove? Ya, I'm literally driving through that park here. #irony
