how's it going there fred? we're not even thinking of winter out here. harvest is in full swing, with farmers pretty happy with weather.

i'll be heading east in a couple of weeks, have a cousin getting married in Quispamsis, NB, then continueing on to NL where the rest of my family is... going to be nice to see the east again!!

nice to hear from you sherm,well as much as I hate to say it winter seems to be one its way,like it or not here.I'm trying to get the 95 all ready for the snow,ordered a ford racing track-lok fo it a week or so ago,I should have that soon.also need to replace axle and u-joints all around.let the fun begin.

Hi Fred.
An up date on our weather, it`s looking alot more like winter here now in Sask......We`re expecting minus 5 temps this week.

hi morris,that weather update is even hard to read haha,it hasn't been all that bad down here yet,some cool nights and mornings but nothing below 0 just yet.but I am sure its on its way.
hi glenn,how are things?I never sold my old ford.I did think about it a few weeks back,a real steel of a deal came up on something,but I just can't bring myself to part with the old girl,specially now that its almost done.I did pick up another project that I will finish once the 78 is done.

We had a real nice Sat., it was sunny with a plus 18 hi but then it rained yesterday. It seems we can`t get more than a day of nice weather at a time!

today is the first day in almost a week it didn't rain,and is somewhat t-shirt weather,I took advantage of it too put my new trac-lok carrier in my truck,works good.
that with the extra weight of the cap and a few sand bags should give the old girl some much needed traction this winter.

Sat. was a great day for a while here but since then we`ve had showers off and on. Not looking good for this week, again!

its half decent here again today,but the weekend sounds pretty much the same as yours,alone with high winds.gravy haha.

It`s been a miserable fall since the end of Sept., there is still some harvest left out in the fields. With a cold late spring and not much of a summer it`s a good year to put behind us.
