Trying

We are trying to stay up beat even though it rains every day.The sun does shine almost every day and it is great when we can see it.We just don't see it enough.
We have our house in Whitecourt for sale but no one is buying it.
We have our Condo in St. Albert for sale but no one is buying it.
Haven't got my boat running yet as waiting for parts.
Got my quad running though,just had to rebuild the starter.

Chris is here for a short visit but is leaving today.
Non of the other kids are coming up for the long weekend so it should be a quiet one.

I think it's good that we have the quiet time as all hell will break loose next week when 4 Grandkids will be attacking.We are having them for a couple of weeks then driving the 2 from Ontario home with us in the Bus.

I'm sure hoping for good weather for the kids.

Things are looking up

Sunday was gorgeous and Monday was also, until we got to the Tee Box on the 18th hole.Then it dumped on us.
Peg and Debby took off to the clubhouse but John and I finished the hole.
Twas nice to get golfing again but it's hard to swallow Canadian prices.

Yesterday=only 5 months till Christmas.Yea!

TOTAL BULL SHIT

I'M TALKING ABOUT THE WEATHER.

This is the worst weather I have ever encountered for this time of year in my life.

We had a couple of days of sun but other than that we have not had any summer yet.

Just because we have the OIL! Oil=bad weather,crap.
The rest of the country is having a heat wave and we are raining shit.
I'm pissed.

Oh ya it went down to 7C/45F last night.
This is supposed to be our summer.
Summer my Ass.
High today 14C/57F

Someday I will tell you how I really feel.

Just Some Technical Info

Study these 3 photos very carefully

This is India.

This is where you call when you have a computer problem????

The Weather

I am not going to say anything about the weather other than it totally sucks!

Bad weather does funny things to people and most are grumpy.

Very scary

Have you ever seen an abominal  weed wacker?

OH yea I had a birthday yesterday.I won't tell you how old I am but the Beatles wrote a song for me.

I have to go now cause the sun is shining and I do not want to miss it.

Racing Weekend

Nascar-Winner of the Truck Race-Kyle
3rd in Nationwide race-Kyle
Winner Sprint cup Race-Kyle

Great Weekend for Kyle

We also had the Worlds Jet Boat Marathon here in Whitecourt this weekend.

Due to the bad weather some of the racing was cancelled and they made a run up The McCleod in front of our place.

The Royals

It was 4am Tuesday and Peg was up.

Yup! Peg was up.

She was getting ready cause Wendy and Beth were picking her up so they could head off to Slave Lake to see the Royals,Will and Kate.

When I think of Royals I think of Crown Royal(regular or black),but you know these women?

So they were there waiting at 7am and the royals arrived at 12 something.the good news is they took lawn chairs.They got front row and got to shake both of their hands and apparently Peggy wacked the prince on the arm with her magazine.Beth gave him a big pink stuffed pig.

Note.This is Peggy's hand shaking his and wacking him with the mag and Beth and the Pig.

These women will not win any awards for Photography.Not only is there no pics of Kate,the above pic was emailed to them by someone else and the pic of Will has his head chopped off.(I think they were too star crazed at the time)

I recorded CTV news and CBC news and did not see the 3 groupies  but when they got home we saw Peg talking to Will on Global news.Go figure.

The weather has been nice but storms arriving late in the afternoon.Last night we had a horrible thunder and lightning storm with hail the size of golf balls,or maybe just the size of a large pea.I have not gone out to see if they damaged any vehicles yet cause I might dissolve in the rain.Maybe I should just go out till I dissolve about 40 lbs.

We are suppose to golf with Deb and John this afternoon but I don't think that will be happening.

Oh Dear look who won last nights truck race

Whitecourt

We are back at Whitecourt where we are nestled in the trees,hoping that none of them fall on us like one did to my truck a few tears back.
The house is still here as no one has bought it yet.

The kids have their trailers all here down by the river.

Speaking of the river!
It's a lot higher this year than we have ever seen it.

Cooked a beer butt chicken,first in a while

Some of the kids went for a quad ride.

Some just sat around the fire.

It is just great that we have some decent weather for a change.
