Actually my Dad's current house is falling apart. When his current house was redone before my dad bought it, the roof was completely sealed up. So after years of water getting in and no ventilation, the roof is starting to fall in. So my dad bought the house we are renovating to live in so he can demolish his current house. Then once he builds a new house where he demolished his current house, my dad keeps talking about selling but if he sells I'm going to buy it and I will rent it out.

Today we went to out of town tractor pulls and visited friends on the way home.
Awesome progress on your truck Grant, mine has completely stalled out till this fall, I`ll work on it a bit now and then before then.
Bummer on the bruised knuckle Randy, hopefully it`s not too painful and heals quickly.
As for pics of my GT I`m still struggling with learning Windows 10 but I`ll do my best.
No lotto win Gerry, just blowing some of my kid`s inheritance... one vehicle at a time. lotto ]

You got that right Sherm, this is about the ninth Mustang I`ve had over the yrs, I still have my 65 and 67 fast backs.
Congrats on camping this summer Gerry and making good use of the park.
My new to me Mustang is plain white with no striping Grant, it matches my 2012 F150 but not quite the pearl white 2013 Escape.
That is a pretty big house trailer at a 1000 sq. ft. Randy, it certainly will make a nice home when done.
congrats on winning that tool set John, you have better luck than I do.
We missed a couple of out of town show and shines this weekend, they were smaller ones like the one you went to at Sioux Lookout, usually those are the best with the friendliest people.

Morning boys. Dark out last night again, looking for highs of over 30 for a few days this week. Not looking forward to that!!!

Morris, you say "new to you" mustang... Did someone already do you the favor of taking the depreciation hit for you? Mighty kind of them. Back in 2011 when I was making the deal on my Ecoboost, someone had come in with a 2011 GT500 to trade in on a truck. They had bought it in early spring but then realized that it wasn't going to be the most practical of winter vehicles. They ended up taking a $20,000.00 kick in the pooper for that mistake. I think in that situation I would have found a cheap little 4x4 for winter!! How many opportunities in life will there be to own a new GT500?

Hope everyone has a great day!!

Evening everyone. Some times I wish I didn't trade in my F150. Cause if I would have kept it, my last payment t would have been on this coming Wednesday. Instead I still have 3 years left on my diesel but it is what it is and I plan on keeping my diesel for at least another 5 years.

Anyways made a little more progress on the house, because we had to work so we didn't start until 6pm. Should only be a few more weeks before we start reassembling!

Good evening every one. Got home last night from 10 nights of camping and after one day of work I wish I was back camping. I see I missed a lot while I was away.

Morning fellas. The night passed without the storm that was pending. 32 above today. I don't like it. You can have it all John.

My wife got back from her cousins wedding last night. It was near Lloydminister. The Explorer got 29mpg on that trip. Very respectable. Considering the highest we ever got with the Fusion was 35, I'll accept 29 in the EX with loads more room, comfort, safety, and convenience.

No pics of the Mustang yet Morris ?

No poolside pics yet Gerry?

Have a great Tuesday guys!!!
