ever had a moment where you wish you had a stunt double to fill in for you at a work event or other life occasion?
Today is that day for me. I have 4 large groups on a Saddledome tour, 1 is for employee appreciation.
Thatโs A LOT public speaking AND a 30,000 step day. OUCH ๐
Been a busy 3 weeks of events for me.
World Rotary Convention, Stampede + public speaking, aka Saddledome tours
Home from Dome early & itโs wet & dreary out, so decided to do something unique & fun with this beautiful lady
Weโre at the Dollar Store getting movie snacks. LOL
Back in our Calgary Saddledome.
SO different being in here with no exciting @calgarystampede action outside
BUT weโre full steam ahead now for #NHL hockey. A few weeks ice goes in. Crews are preparing boards
Here doing fun tours. Still meeting ppl from all over ๐
#Flames
Cool & pouring rain outside. Hard to forget my rescued Husky girls had to survive roaming the streets, searching for food & trying to stay dry
Seeing young Aurora stealing my TV futon and Juno curled up comfy & safe, warms my heart more than words can say ๐พโค๏ธ #RescueDogs #Husky
Iโm sure going to miss this 9 days of @calgarystampede Saddledome working view.
On Wed. when I return. It will be a very different empty Dome view, as our maintenance crews get ready for the up coming busy #NHL hockey season
Itโs events like this that makes our Dome the busiest in Canada
No better way to start my Saddledome work day like going on a walk with this beautiful lady & our Husky girls. They saw a baby bunny & wanted a chase. LOL
Working my last day of @calgarystampede for 2025.
SO SAD ๐ The events guy in me loves all the excitement.

The patriotic kid in me couldnโt stop videoing ๐
Here is some more if youโre a far away friend. Enjoy ๐
The helicopter picks up the flag close to @calgarystampede park along the river on an open field. These 2 videos are of take off & landing.

Some BTS. Today is what we call a โdark dayโ itโs when no events happen in our Saddledome. For the 9 days, events in the Dome is ALL #Stampede shows. NOT Flames ๐ฅ
WE open the Dome for visitors to see inside our #Olympic / #NHL arena. Only a few in the world. Calgary is lucky
Such a sad lonely dinner for only 1 in our Iconic #NHL #Olympics arena with an amazing view of @calgarystampede park, sitting up high in Saddledome Lounge
Delicious $5 brisket dinner from our Flames ๐ฅ team cafeteria, with a priceless job perk view.
All by myself. LOL
Not my usual Saddledome events day. SADLY. Iโll miss this view of the Stampede grounds from Dome steps. A few years, this iconic arena will be gone
Dome is open to visitors from around the world attending @calgarystampede. My team and I are here to welcome them
@TourismCalgary
On my way home from working @calgarystampede. I saw the helicopter that flys over the Grandstand show with the Canadian ๐จ๐ฆ
Seeing this really made me appreciate our beautiful & peaceful Canadian freedom. Only in Canada is a military helicopter used for show & not for harm
During @CalgarySurge basketball ๐ game in our Olympic NHL Saddledome. This was my tea time break view
@ halftime.
WOW @calgarystampede Grand Stand was full for the evening Chucks & show
#CountryWestern #Yahoo #NBA #CalgaryStampede
WOW! ๐ฎ
Here is something you donโt see often in our Yyc Saddledome
@CalgarySurge Pro. basketball ๐ playing a game.
Old Dome looks so different from the usual hockey ๐ฅ
Iโm use to working
Only a few of the 32 #NHL arenas have the honor of hosting basketball ๐ games
#NBA
Thank you. I appreciate it

My young Ladd rescued him from an agency who finds suitable barns or work places for stray farm cats. He was young AND wild. Wanted nothing to do with humans. NOW, he is an attention seeking lion, canโt get work done. YIKES
He is now spoiled, with love
Myla & I are enjoying a relaxing weekend up @ our farm. She is planting ๐
usually she is barefoot in the garden
I was changing the oil in momโs car, when Arin, a barn cat we rescued, had to supervise me. Rescued him as a kitten. He now lives in the house heated garage ๐
This is AWESOME!
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 2025 NBA Most Valuable Player, is a proud Canadian, AND a fan of #Flames #12 our #JaromeIginla
How cool is that.
