Don't know what her problem is except for maybe a badly timed hot flash, sometimes shes good, other times she hates everyone, even her co workers. I'll sit at the A&W and wait for her to go on break and the co workers will process me in record time. 3 times in there and last time she came over to inspect the form and rejected it because I didn't have the DL# of the PO as his personal identification. last box first section of the sales agreement. The guy had me written up already.
Truck is parked in front of house all insured with my 250 plates on it, fuel filter plugged up on way home, they're $5 at auto value. Need to check out the trans as sometimes 1st locks you in and 2nd acts like it's not there, had to go from 1st to 3rd a few times. Other than that it drives nice and smooth, quiet and straight. No major rust, just a small slice in the driver side floor and a patina'd hood, dent on the bottom of passenger door and a few mirror holes need to be welded in. Have a hole in the deck where someone tried to put in a gas cap and need to remove the gooseneck plate and ball.
Still trying to figure out the link function Morris, not something I'm used to doing.


Frankie's new truck, she was on the deck by the time I got out of the truck

Well, it's been pretty flaky out my way for the last hour or so, going to have some cool days for the next week but it might warm up next weekend. Notice the .15 a litre price jump in petro since monday.

The sun is out replacing the nasty white junk so I`m a happy camper today!
Bummer about the lady at the registry, I ran into that once and had a dispute so I aborted then went back to a different issuer with no more problems. Don`t worry about the link Perry, at times it can be quite frustrating.
Bummer in the 15 cent a litre gas price jump, it`s about a $1 a litre here, diesl is in the mid $$.90 range so I guess I should fill up my slip tanks.
A really nice spring like day here John, only plus 1C but a gentle breeze and the sun is out.

You got that right since everything I drive uses it`s share of the stuff.

During the winter months now that I'm retired I don't even go through a tank in a month, when I was working every 3 days I was filling up..

On mondays and thursdays there's a 4 cent a litre discount at Domo, comes in handy especially when it's a full fuel up. My fuel budget is $60 a month, but it's not as bad as it sounds, everything that I really need is within 5 short blocks so the walks do me good. Bills get paid online and the Doc gets visited when I pick up my prescription at the mall. It's only when I have to haul something or go out of town that the truck needs to get used, lowers my mileage on the truck if I decide to sell it.

Got out for a hike with my brother in Kananaskis today. Was better weather there than in town, despite the higher elevation. Thought these two signs were pretty funny. That Powderface trail we drove on is better maintained than some gravel alleyways in the city.

Friends left this morning for Windemere and the weather got better the farther away from Calgary they got.

Often the case Perry. Our weather might come over those mountains, but by the time we have a storm, they usually have something else. Plus, once you cross the BC line and drop into those valleys, it's a whole different climate.

We are getting hammered with snow west of Edmonton. Thankfully it's melting on the roads. Had to clean a spot in the garage for my truck to hook up the heated seats!
