Yeah, you said it Morris.

Dust and wind here in Regina is pretty bad too. Yesterday was an awesome day outside early in the morning.

By the time the afternoon hit, I couldn't even throw a frisbee with my buddies anymore... damn wind...

We packed up after 10 minutes cause trying to throw into a 60-80 km/h wind or however fast it was, was just ridiculous!

I hope this coming week is nicer outside... I could realy use some time to work on my truck!!!

Ugh... and working on my truck is coming to a stand-still because I have yet to get paid for working so far this summer...

Sort of a crappy day for me so far lol.

Yeah in two weeks or so. I found out recently that I went over my student loan limit with the LAST cheque I wrote to my land lord. Great...

So now I owe $1000... it's putting a big dent in my dentside's progress. Pun intended lol.

I pretty much have to, otherwise my father gets the ol' "drop it on the co-signers account".

I'll have my nuts in a bench-vice if that happens...

Are you dry or wet there?
There`s a 20 to 40% chance of rain here in the next 3-4 days, I hope that doesn`t happen.

Sherm, regarding your harely post, cool.

Ive always liked the harleys. I have done a lot of reading myself on them, but have found that the technology and reliability, although improved, is still not comparible to the likes of the yammers, honda's, etc. That being said, the aftermarket support and knowledge is comaprible to our beloved fords, damn near endless! Its hard to keep up with the technology of the foreigns I think, just due to harley having a certain image to live up too.

I also get why ya want one bike instead of two, and I think a Harely would be a great purchase, even if they MAY NOT be the top dog in technology or quality (and im not saying they are bad either!!)

Hell of a nice day today and hell of a nice weeked, but whats with the wind?!

The wind is actually working wonders for drying up the wet spots! Guys are seeding out my way, and my dad was seeding this weekend up in Nipawin.
