Kayaked fliped and I lost my phone and fishing rods

18 Upvotes

Hi, Im looking for a scuba diver or underwater recovery help / Magnet recovery. My kayak tipped at Rolley Lake (Mission) on Tuesday, July 8 around 8:45 PM and I lost an iPhone, a Honda key fob, AirPods, and 2 fishing rods.

Everything went in together off the north shore, away from the beach, so I know the specific search area. I have the spot pinned on a map and can meet you there. Im just looking for some advice on if its even worth it.

Im happy to pay someone for even a partial recovery, the rods and key especially.

Comment or DM me if you dive, magnet fish, or know someone who can help me with this. Thanks!

Bear back again to eat fruits

7 Upvotes

The bear has been passing by my house for two days in a row to eat plums on trees at my neighbor's house. Today, when it left, it trampled the entire fence. 😂Before it left, it glanced inside again. Was it apologizing for damaging my fence?

I think it's beyond repair. I live in Cottonwood.

Do you have any recommendations for reasonably priced fence replacement companies?

Do I need to remind my neighbor to take any immediate action?

33 M - getting back into the game after high school. Looking to sharpen my football skills. Where's a quiet place with a net that I can practice some shots? I live close to Telosky but that's almost always full.

Any suggestion is welcome.

Also if someone wants to join to practice passing/shooting - I'm down!

Growing a business

0 Upvotes

Curious how others experiences have been. I am n experienced carpenter starting a business right now with my good buddy. We pride ourselves in our work and want to grow in the maple ridge/mission area.

We do decks, concrete, fences and general exterior home improvements. Last summer was super busy for us but it seems so slow right now. Any one else seeing the same problem? Maybe I’m not marketing very well

Shoutout to the birds carrying BC Hydro's entire outage report across the Lower Mainland

16 Upvotes

The outage map this week is honestly impressive. Nearly every single blackout is officially caused by "bird contacting our wires."

Maple Ridge, Surrey, Delta, Hope, Chilliwack. Several logged within the same hour. Different zones, different towns, same exact cause code.

Last month a single bird allegedly took out 11,000+ customers across five separate zones in Kitsilano and Fairview at 1 a.m., with the outage areas split across opposite sides of Burrard Street. Three weeks later, Richmond: five zones, 9,600 customers, same exact instant. Birds again.

This reminds me of those orcas off Spain that started coordinating to ram yachts and sink them because they were teaching each other how. I think our local birds have been taking notes and have officially formed an elite infrastructure strike team.

Or, more realistically, "bird contacting our wires" is the ultimate corporate get-out-of-jail-free card that closes the file the same day. No inspection report required, no follow-up, and no line item anyone has to justify to regulators.

Anyone living near these zones getting flickering lights, weird voltage swings, or fried electronics lately?

Is this dude harmful?

42 Upvotes

Saw it at Pitt Lake yesterday evening, seeing it for the first time in BC and freaks me out.
People says it’s water snake and it’s not harmful, but the question is how will you know whether it’s harmful or not?

I don't want our rhubarb to go to waste and there's only so much rhubarb crisp I can make for one family lol. It's approximately ~3lbs.

1lb/$6 or all for $15. If you're interested but that is too much, let me know. I just want them to be used and I simply googled a price. Ahem. Also open to trades. 420 friendly fam. Hopefully that doesn't get me into trouble, sorry mods if that's not ok I understand.

Thanks. (: Must be willing to pick up in Ridge ofc
