Back from Edmonton
We got back home Saturday night, after a detour through Yorkton and a great visit with Sherm and family.
Had a good trip, Escape worked awesome with the best mileage being 27mpg loaded down with all our stuff and there was alot!!!
Checked out a ford dealer while we where there and should have come home with a truck but they had nothing I wanted. There was a 2010 f150 lariat crew with all options for $38,500 but only a 5 1/2 foot box and I want the 6 1/2. Bought tickets to win a '09 Shelby GT500KR, boy would that be sweet to win!!

Good to hear the trip was success.
We just returned from the big E as well. Went to the Reynolds-Alberta Museum and was able to get into the resto-shop just before closing. The foreman was just putting some paint on parts for a Packard and another guy was tinkering on a 56 Ford 1/2T. I found that in February they have day courses covering various restoration topics, from buying and researching a project, to lead body work to paint. Might take in a couple.
The rest of the weekend was spent either holed-up in our hotel room living like "rock stars"
(woo-hoo!) or shopping!

Sounds like a great time Marlon. Good luck on that Shelby!
I`ve always wanted to drop by the Reynolds Museum, that 56 would be neat to see Ed.
Hey Sherm, a Lariat would make a real nice Xmas present.............

I heard that last year some members from the draggins went and took some courses last Febuary there. Now they have a English wheel in the clubhouse. I would love to have one of those here.
