Happy Sunday Mornin'all. Had to run into work this morning, and bought Dawn, and Kalan Mc D's for breakfast. Now into the garage to make room for Dawns Edge. truck is in the shed, so I have to make room for my snowmobile in the garage, and park my tractor at the neighbor's. I may just tarp my tractor in the dog enclosure. Better yet, I might buy a small storage tent for it. Have a great day guy's.

Not a real great day here with this steady rain that started last night, even with the good drainage there`s deep water puddle in places. It`s only plus one so it`s a pretty chilly day.

Was an okay day for weather, got the shed on it's temporary final location. It'll get moved next year if the landlord lives up to his promise of a new garage, another reason why I want a bobcat and trailer. Back to making sidewalk tomorrow.

Good morning everyone, started raining here last night around 9:00 pm and poured out of the heavens until about 3:00 am, I was afraid to look out the window this morning in fear that it had turned to snow but was relieved to see none and that it was only 6°

Good day John, Grant, Colin, Perry, Ian and all who lurk here.
I`m mostly ready for winter with some last minutes things to do.
Late yesterday it quit raining, I`m glad we didn`t get any more snow.

Cloudy, cold and wet with a call for freezing rain, sure changed from what it was supposed to be last night. Woke up to no water, city was doing a repair and didn't tell anyone or put up signage, water came back on at 10.30. Looking like a day off

There's a major rebuild project on 17th, our main road, starting next year. So this year the preliminary infrastructure work is being done. They're upgrading the water and electrical grids plus putting in a new grid for the project itself. The city is also scheduled to do some landscape tear out so the trees are tagged, yellow for resale and transplanting in our area and green for stick it in the chipper. This is a bus route expansion with a dedicated middle lane for the rapid transit line. Looks like the city is covertly changing this into a transit corridor for a future (20 years) C-train line to Chestermere.

Have a good lunch with #2.
At one of the community information sessions they gave us prices on the trees, basically 75 - 90 mil calibre, 15' - 18' tall from $275 to $450 planted in an easy access location on your yard. There is a replant ratio of 1.4 to 1 so initially we will wind up with more trees after the project is done than we have now. When the mulling around part of the final meeting started I put myself within ear shot of the planners and muttered about how it's rare that the planning was so thorough, "it's as if theres a Ctrain line being planned", got some looks from the planners. Been around city planning and construction long enough to know when a project is being overbuilt for it's purpose and the tax base here isn't high enough for the corridor to end where it's planned to end
