That photo is so perfect it almost doesn't look real.
Even the sky is amazing as well as the vehicles.

Ps. Thanks for the rep points you gave me on Monday to Morris

It's bylaw court day, think I have all my justifications for parking the trucks in front of my house. I hate court.
I took most of a year off before I moved to Calgary to get my back healed up and was okay for a few days, then I tied a rebar mat for a pad pour and couldn't stand up afterwards. Glen helped me off the pad and I laid on my back for 15 minutes until I could straighten out. Easiest job on a construction site and it causes the most back injuries. Resting the back and doing physio for a year doesn't always help.

Good afternoon folks, time for a coffee break after picking up tree branches.
I love trimming but hate picking them up so a bit of help this morning was really welcome.

we'll see what today brings ..... I wish I was more like John, just driv'em
I was I could Gerry but so far I`m managing. Winter is the worst when I`m inactive, it`s hard and painful to get moving in the spring . Usually by late spring, early summer I`m more or less back in shape.

Every yr adds more problems, hate to think what I`ll be like in a few yrs.
Hello Grant, hope you have a good day. :-
Back at you Ian, happy hump day!

I never noticed it before Ian, my friend that took that picture doctored it up, he likes playing around with different affects. You`re welcome with the points, thanks for dropping by.
Good luck in bylaw court today Perry. Why the tickets for parking in front of your own home? Even physio for a year didn't help your bad?

Bylaw was claiming that because the trucks are flat decks that they are really commercial vehicles and are to be parked on the side street as long as theres no house fronting on that part of the street or they need to be parked on private property, namely my back yard. Wayne, our neighborhood criminal vandalizes the trucks if I park them 100% legally as they are out of my line of sight and not under the street light. Theres a Veitnamese guy that lives besides James' house and Wayne destroyed 3 of his trucks and nearly bankrupted him, his employees now take home the trucks. Mark and Sue lost their halfton and Pathfinder to motor vandalizism. Even though he brags about it the cops do nothing but blame us. The house that Wayne lives in is currently in the first stages of being shut down by the SCAN program and if he stays in the area that house will be shut down also. SCAN is run out of the Solicitor Generals office and our junkie squad can't interfere with it.
I overworked my back warehousing furniture, lifted to many chairs, nightstands, headboards, single beds and stuff like that over my head and did to much twisting of the back while under load. My hip socket is worn badly, the cartilage in my discs are worn, have pulled a few muscles in the lower back and hip area and only took pills to look after them. The cartilage between the vertibrae from the middle of my shoulders up into my neck are swollen and have scarred up in spots to the point that it doesn't move to freely. At 140 lbs, I was lifting 160 lbs up to my waist level and higher on an all to regular basis. It wasn't unusual for me to load a 53' with queen mattress sets take it back to the warehouse, offload it and go out and pick up 40 hotel rooms of furniture and do the same thing, then I would go home. Only worked 3 days a week but they were 40 hour days, lol. It would be like loading and unloading square bales for 40 hours straight once a week every week for 13 years. Kind of gets to you. Sat in a whirlpool tub twice a week and got electric shock stimulation treatments for the muscles followed by an ultrasound massage twice a week. EI and insurance covered most of it, still walk a bit funny but at least theres no more cramps or pain when I sit, can still throw the hip out getting the coffee pot out of the coffee maker. Can't go near cold water or it locks me right up and it's like I have a board from my tail bone to my neck. Should have stayed in school and become an accountant.

Good evening truckers, I got a parcel in the mail today so now I can hardly wait to get them on the 50. Its a petronix ignition and coil so the 50 will be getting a little hotter spark.
