I rarely get too much time in the day for myself these days, I'm generally working, sleeping or hanging out with the kids, so today I had a special treat. The kids are in daycare and I should be sleeping since I work a night shift tonight, but instead I snuck away to my happy place.
A place with sunshine and rainbows...right!
You may think it's hiding down in some secret vault doing the 'ol Scrouge Mcduck into piles of silver, yeah that's alot of fun, but not truly my happy place.
It's not going to some spa or some relaxing beach scene.

For me, my happy place, is man and machine against(or with) nature
Like how happy does that guy look! I love spending a day outside doing some meaningful physical labour. I am so in the zone (or a flow state) I could just go forever. I never take breaks and never consume enough water for this. Today I have to pull myself away after 2 hrs, but I could have spent all day there. In fact before I even had kids and other things to do, I did spend sun up to sun down outside most days.
And the weather today was perfect, around -10 to -15 degrees.
Crazy Canadian right, but it's perfect, you bundle up just right and you can go forever without getting to hot. I hate being hot! You wanna see me loose my shit, make me do anything on a hot day, I get so moody and upset, it's the worst. No the mention at this temperature most sticks and wood with break like toothpicks, and they are not all green and rubbery, and it's the only time the whole yard is perfectly accessible like this. This area is swampy but in the winter it's firm and easy to work on.
