Randy: Whatever you do, don't sell your snowmobile helmet. You'll need to wear it when you do that Pointing to the ring thing.

 

Good evening to Grant, Colin, Clint, Gerry, Curtis, Trent, Sherm, John, Randy and all who lurk here.
There is a lot to catch up on in the last two days...
Sorry to hear of ChooChoo passing away a week ago, losing a pet always tears me up for a long time. I`m glad to hear that you held him him till the last goodbyes were said.

 

Thanks Randy. I appoligize for not getting a chance to hook up last time your were out. Got really busy
To make it up to you i'll have my new Blower shipped out via chopper for you to do your driveway

Morris, thank you. As weird as it may sound to some, I'm honestly very lucky to have had that connection with ChooChoo!! One look and I just knew. Of coarse, things lead up to it where I was really keeping a close eye on him. Still hear him giving a lil bark at supper time here and there!!! Just like he used to

 

Morning Boys... A chilly one here today, but looking to the future gives a guy hope.

Been 2 years since we said goodbye to our Rottie and it still chokes me up when I think about her. Our Boxer is so much like her in actions its sometimes like she never left. I'm hoping my Lab is immortal...

May be an interesting day today. I'm picking up a water softener and toilet... I would say by this evening there will be a blue cloud of smoke over our acreage, and the kids will be wandering around saying "F-Sakes"...

Have a great day everyone... Momma is off to get her first tattoo today...

 

Brrrr.

Back into that deep freeze thing for a couple days. Looks better for a week from now on the long range forecast.

In dog related news...Made a little impromptu trip to Yorkton yesterday. We have a German Shepard that needs a daily run for exercise and she occasionally finds something smelly to roll in. And she did. Yorkton Coop car wash has a dog wash room which is just the ticket for these occasions. Ride back to Melville was much easier on the nose!

 

Another Saturday at the rink, should be fun. Have a good day everyone.

 

Happy Saturday mornin'all. It's quiet around here. Jordan is in Tampa Bay playing hockey. He left Wed. and'll be back Sun. There's even enough food for the 3 of us for a change. Sherm, is she getting a Grant tatoo? No snow in my driveway, the wind just blows it away, but she sure is slippery from the melting, freezing rain, and the lite sciff of snow on top. I didn't look too gracious walking to my van yesterday morning. Good luck on the game today Colin. We'll be spending the afternoon at the rink with Kalan. He's on the 9yr old elite team, and we really enjoy watching them play. A great bunch of kid's and parent's. What are the plan's on the truck for this weekend John? I'm just going to be cleaning small part's this weekend. Have a great day guy's. Stay warm.

 

Can totally respect that. This is my 3rd dog. Scotty poodle, Rambo Lab (still think of him) and now Chooch. Dont' know if I can do another

Good luck on the tat Ms Sherm!!

Thats the worst. It's usually a pile of crap or somthing that's been dead for awhile. And they come home so proud!! My other dog we kinda donated to a neighbor in need deals with that now.

Good luck Colin!!

Going to be a fun day today here. Got the fire rollin in the mancave, change out the sliders on the new sled, tinker with Cams new Suzi quad, then off to Selkirk to get skates sharpend and buy some sticks for the kidlets!! Had so much fun skating yesterday, even mumzie, we are going to make it a regular thing!! They built a new family rink in Tyndall MB. 2 nice nets, shovels, benches, LED lighting (never shuts off) and I forgot how fun it is to have a stick in your hand trying to do the moves you used to 30 years ago. Still got it (in my mind of coarse )

Randy, you like the snowblower link I sent ya

 

AND, good morning to all else that chime in today!!!!

 

Grant...if you look like a feather...lol. I think she's getting a graffiti feather or something like that, on the inside of her forearm. She's planning on a flower scheme down her ribcage to signify the family birth months or something. Today was an introduction to the whole tattooing idea lol. I hope she's prepared mentally for a whole raft of judgement from her family. They're not very open minded, but very quick and harsh to judge. Just what you would expect from "practicing Christians".

Curtis...get another pooch... As much as I hate parting with them, I couldn't imagine life without one, or two...

Ray, nice looking Sheppard. I've wanted one for a while as a yard/guard dog on the acreage, but I know that it would end up another bed/couch pooch like our current 2. For that reason I'm resisting the urge to pick up every puppy I come upon.

 

Hello to all...crazy winter weather. Stay safe everyone!

 

Should be getting all my parts on Tuesday, just in time for my days off. I have to go and pick up the rear diff from the wreckers during that time off as well.

 

Morning Fellas... Its a cold one this am. in the -30's with the wind.

Have a great day everyone!!

 

Happy Sunday mornin'all. Just heard from one of Jordan's coaches, that due to weather in the IL, IN area his flight from Tampa has been cancelled. The earliest he can get home is Tuesday night via Denver. The kid's have to take 3 seperate flight's, with the last group getting home Wednesday midnite. Have a great day guy's (Jordan's not complaining tho)
