Good afternoon folks

Exciting day of setting up an inventory system ahead of me, it's a headache but a good one, get do the garbage, recycle and compost bins first.
This is my phone acting up again Morris, the internet out here shuts down every so often and when it comes back on my phone needs to be reset some times. Modern technology doesn't seem to mesh with Calgary.

More in your toy fund Steve.
Modern technology doesn`t always work for me either Perry, my old computer has had it`s share of fits lately.

There hasn`t been a lot of snow so far this winter, at least the streets and highways are decent most of the time.
A big train derailment just outside of Saskatoon at about 9 am this morning, looks pretty bad but no one got hurt.

It was a grain train so I`d say no other then it sounds like train engine fuel leaked and cause a fire.
Some winter driving tips for you John:

I've driven over 2 million kilometers and a lot of them on winter roads and only ended in the ditch once avoiding hitting an oncoming vehicle because of a cow moose and twin calves walking out in front of me in a blizzard, no damage to the car, then one time I hit a cow moose that stepped over the guard rails not leaving me enough time to react..

Except for hitting a deer 3 yrs ago it`s been much the same for me too John...till the other day a lady backed into me as I was stopped in the Costco lot. The weird thing is that she claimed her`s was a brand new vehicle so she was going thru insurance. It was fairly new, I didn`t tell her that she`d have to pay the deductible for apparently no apparent damage. Plus once it`s off the dealer`s lot I don`t consider it to be brand new any more.
No doubt it`ll take a while to clean that train wreck up.

It would be interesting to watch John, some pretty massive equipment will be at work for a while.

With the the fire I would say so, diesel burns pretty hot. It sounds like the rails may have given away causing the derailment.
