Good evening Curtis, Colin, Sherm, Brett, Gerry, Randy, Morris, Grant and anyone else who my be loafing in this area.

Good looking pups Randy.. Looks like you picked the best.

 

No school, no busses today cus its too cold up here, almost -40*, yikes

Stay warm y'all

 

Yup...ironic isn't it? I guess that's what becomes of buying a property for the yard and location, not the house. The house was build in '75. I have plans to make it more energy efficient which will cost me less than building a new one again. In 2012 I build a new house for us in the city. We lived there for a year, the house was awesome, but we hated living in the city. If I survive another 20-30 years I would like to build a new house in this yard.

Its actually listed in order of expense as oil, electric, propane, and natural gas. I had a double kick in the nuts yesterday as I talked to a few people who said the consumption seemed excessive and wondered if I have a leak. I talked to the Co-op who of course don't to consider the possibility that they might have made a mistake, but at the same time they inform me that the price of propane has done up since my last fill. My 930 liters will cost me over $800 instead of the $600 I had figured. This is awesome.

Hopefully the insurance lady lets me know today that my insurance is in place. I'll be striking a match in the stove as soon as I hear the words.

Another chilly one here also. -40 windchill.

Cool pooches Randy!!!

 

Morning everyone!! And Colin, who I keep forgetting about
Chilly windy day out there today. If your traveling, be safe!!

 

Sherm I remember the story about you getting out of the city & I agree, I'm sure you'll make the place nice n cozy for next winter...

 

Happy hump day mornin'all. Randy nice Pup, congrat's. We picked our's at 8 weeks old (I Think) not sure we got the same one. G welcome to our world, lol. -27C feelin like -39C Blew the driveway out last night, and woke up to a full driveway again. The heck with it, I didn't blow this AM, too pissed off. To top it off my wipers screwed up this AM, yes too lazy and pissed off to give em a tap before I turned them on. Kalan said to me while waiting for the bus this AM "Dad, calm down, I'll shovel the driveway when I get home from school) That kept me in good spirits till I got to work. Have a great day and stay warm (especially you G)

 

Thx for the ''warm'' welcome Grant, hehehe

Hey do you know where yer old Expo is so I can call them n ask for parts...
I'd like the mechanism that runs the 3rd row seats even tho you say its no good I might be able to make it work

 

G, check the MPI auction site. It probably hasn't been auctioned off yet. Look for a 2006 Eddie Bauer. If I remember, I'll try to get the Vin# for you.

 

OK thx

 

Thanks guys for the warm comments. Its only -30 here but with a -40 windchill. Grant, did you get your puppy from a Lina Hergert just outside of Steinbach? Thats where this one is coming from, the puppies are about 13 weeks old by now so they could be from the same batch?

 

Randy I still like the German Shepard he is so sweet, Morris should adopt him for the farm there

 

I agree, he is really cute. It was so hard not to get him but they wanted to do a home inspection along with a random check up and because we live so far away there was a very slim chance we could have got him. So we went with a backyard puppy, its not quite the same as rescuing a dog but everyone wants a puppy so they usually get adopted.

 

WOW a home inspection huh, very cautious on their part....... good one

 

Yeah almost all the shelters we looked at required a home inspection. It makes me happy that they care enough about the animals they dont just let anyone adopt their pets.

 

That Name sounds familiar. She was a couple miles south of Steinbach. She was breeding Golden and White English Retrievers. One of the Golden got out and had his way with a White and we bought one of them 3 yrs ago. They also had exotic ducks and were looking after cattle for a neighbor.
