Today's Adventure

The following events transpired between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm.

10:05 am
Phone about ranchero and arrange a meeting
10:10 am
Leave house
11:00 am
Arrive at arranged meeting point
11:05 am
Inspect the rusty Ranchero Country Squire
11:15 am
Back on the highway to Colonsay.
11:25 am
Stopped at the Co-op to buy a grid road map but they didn't have any.
Actual conversation:
Clerk - Who are you looking for?
Nathan - I'm looking for my friend Ryan's house but I forget his last name. I do know he lives north of Colonsay.
Clerk - I'll call Shirley over (Name has been changed to protect the innocent), she probably knows where he lives.
Shirley - Who do you need to find?
Nathan - His name is Ryan and he drives an old red International truck.
Shirley - Oh. Ryan Markosky. Just turn at the cemetery and head straight.
Nathan - Thanks
11:35 am
Looking for cemetery
11:40 am
Found cemetery after driving around town
11:50 am
Arrive at farm. Nobody is home. Realize Ryan must be at school. Take a drive by look at the Mercury.
12:00 pm
Stop at Chinese and Canadian food restaurant. Get looks from locals upon entering establishment. Order double deluxe hamburger with fries. It was a juicy 2 patty hamburger with bacon, cheese, tomato and lettuce. Hmmm... but enough about the burger.
12:25 pm
Cruise by school to see if Ryan had a vehicle and to check out the scenery.
12:30 pm
On the road back to Saskatoon
1:15 pm
Take a stroll through Amigo's Autowrecking. Bought a front bumper for a 99 Ford Escort ZX2.
2:00 pm
Arrive back at the house.

(Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock)

Ryan was probably at work, he graduated last year. hey, you went to ben's...how were the fries? usually i get fries that taste like the grease was in the deep fryer for a year from there.(good burgers, some times bad fries) i bet you went in there just at coffee time because there isn't usually many people in there.

I thought he was graduated but wasn't sure. These fries were just off the frier. The burger was almost to hot (temperature) to eat!

I'm guessing you didn't buy the Rancharo??

So what you figure of the 49? still pretty rough but there

and for a conclusion to tie the threads I was in Chioceland, but now in Saskatoon an dial-up internet.

Well it has black fenders, red cab, red box, no hood. I did see the unibody too and the whole line of trucks in the field. So what is up with that fenced in compound in town? I noticed a COE.
