Anti-peeve thread. What made you happy today?
Ok, since Oko seemed to be pretty disappointed about another rant thread, I figured let's create a happiness thread and share what made you happy today! 
I will start again.
My three-year-old didn't cry in the morning before going to the daycare for the very first time. She hates the idea of going and cries every single time prior but sort of enjoys being there. Three-year-olds, go figure. But I am keeping my fingers crossed the non-crying trend continues.

I saw my 2-year-old granddaughter this morning and got at least 3 hugs. 
I don't see her all that often.

Walked into a liquor store today and no one said "Good morning". Instantly put me in a good mood.

A doe and her fawn meandered through my yard as I sat on my deck having my morning coffee this morning... Always a nice start to the day!

When I logged on to AO General Discussion this morning, only a very small percentage of the first page threads were political click-bait. Go Mods!

Better half and I went to Bruno Mars at Rogers. Wow, what a performer. I sat down for about two songs, and that is so not me. Whole building stood and danced most of the night. Guy seemed super happy to put 110% into his show. Cost a lot. Worth it.

I have a couple of weeks of vacation coming up, and I'm starting to make some plans for a "stay-cation".... local fishing and camping, maybe a couple of trips to my shooting club, etc. Daydreaming sure beats work.

My daughter started her hunter training course today.
And she told me "I love you, Daddy!"
I'm a happy daddy.

I'm happy that it wasn't 30C outside today.
My wife went "antique" shopping with her girlfriend. She didn't bring home anything. Why? because she says she already has one.

Wind finally died down at Spoke and the Springs are biting
Boat blew a seal and the Volvo dealer had the part in stock.

We got some rain last night.
When I checked my water barrels this morning, 5 of 6 were full.

I took my daughter's and wife to the Calgary zoo today and had a great time. Had to laugh at my two year old who spent all day sitting in her stroller reading the map instead of looking at the animals.kids.

My daughter turned 16 today.
My wife and youngest son came back from a few days at the cottage.
Rain seemed to usher in some slightly cooler weather about an hour ago. Woke up today to 23C temps and tons of humidity. Been a sauna all day...slightly nicer tonight.
Sitting reading the AO forum with an iced latte from Tim Horton's....daydreaming about gophers.

Well, I have the whole week off, so missus and I hopped in the Little Black car yesterday, drove down to Edmonton and stayed in a real gem of an Hotel downtown on Jasper, (the Union Bank Inn, fantastic service, Madison Grill is awesome!) spent time with our daughter, then continued on to Lethbridge. Got 1000 km on from GP and not a single rock in my windshield!!  great day! Car running like a top, and on the way to Logan's Pass tomorrow for first time in 30 years. Yup, I'm happy.
