"The Exciting Place to be" breakroom - May 6 - 12
Morning all,
Mother Nature had a bit of a hissie fit on southern Alberta yesterday. Friday evening the DW and I sat on the deck sipping wine and enjoying the beautiful evening. Then yesterday a system rolled through here. There were strong winds and total whiteouts from the snow. Highway travel was not recommended. Then it turned to rain and once that was done the temp dropped below freezing again. Sweet!! Today the sun is out, ther is a gentle breeze and it is supposed to be a beautiful day. You have to love spring in the shadow of the Rockies.
Scotty, beware. The weather guessers say the system has headed east into Saskatchewan. You can have it.
Have a great Sunday everyone. DW and I are about to saddle up and head into Calgary for birthday gifts for her Dad and my sister. I guess we should get a Mother's Day gift for her Mom too.
To all the kids and fathers out there, don't forget, next Sunday is Mother's Day!

Torrential rain here right now...near zero visibility. I see the wind warnings in SK west of here and the radar shows a massive system swirling...and heading our way.
Enjoy the week folks!

Sorry bout the weather up there, big boy - - telling ya it sure is nice down here. 85 - 88 most every day, 68 eaves, flowers, critters, birds - - sure nice.
OK, gone for the night - - heading in with the blonde.

Despite what happened yesterday, today was a most excellent evening. To our southern friends I am sure this sounds insane. At 7pm it was 15C, with clear blue skies and not a breath of wind. DW and I enjoyed NY steak, asparagus (from garden) and cheesy toast for supper on the deck. It doesn't get much better than this. You have to look for the golden linings in life where you can find them. 2 weeks from now, garden goes in.
I sure hope the rest of the DTR'onians had as good a weekend as I did.

Yes I did thanks! Sorry I didn't have a chance to respond. It's been a crazy week culminating in today's snafu... I forgot I had a class to teach and completely missed it.
I was slightly embarrassed when the client called to ask, "Are you coming today"? That, added to the flat tire on the loader that can't be fixed, (need new tire - actually 4 because none of them are any good), failed fuel pump on the mill, blown fuel line on the loader, smoke machine in the fire trailer died, new machine didn't fit in the brackets so had to make a whole new support structure AND re-wire everything because that didn't match up either, computer monitor died, PLUS, everytime I try to do something here, everything stalls... should I continue or do you get the drift?

I've got plenty already.
Might go back Thursday though. I think she missed a spot.

You didn't tell us you were looking for a new yard boy. I could have applied for that! Heck, I can lay around your yard as well as you do!

.......I looked around when he was done and knew he was doing exactly what you say - - laying around looking at the job instead of doing it. He needs a remote control mower so he can sit in the lawn chair, drink some Obama cool aid and mow the lawn. But, for you big guy, you can come and lay in my yard - - I will put up a sign
"Do not disturb the sleeping 'thing' in the corner of the yard." .....
