I'm beginning to know what Luther Krank feels like! Krank me awayto somewhere warm. Swine bloody Alberta clipper covered us with 20 - 30 (we got more like 30) cms of snow! Catherine and I donned our winter apparel (tuques and parka and gloves and ear muffs) and prepare to 'dig out' (a local term meaning "get rid of the freaking snow!") when much to my chagrin, because I have thought of getting it tuned up 100 times, the damn snowblower won't start. 8 mighty throbbing horses when it is running but s lump of steel when it is not! I had to shovel for goodness sake....son of a motherless goat! Shovel, shovel and shovel until the snowblower repairman got her and all he could do was load it on his truck and say 'see ya later in tha week!' Ya right... I'll see him around the Olympics! More snow expected tonight....great. ...but double digit temps expected for the weekend!...yahoo

Had to cancel my appointment with my endocriologist this am. Now I'll never find out what he does! Well I can't make it off of the Bay tomorrow unless they plough it.....what is the chances of that!?

Hey speaking of trucks......I went to Midtown Ford yesterday for a part and while I was there looked at the trucks they had on the lot. They had one big enough to tow the trailer (150 xlt) but it had a price tag to match! It had a 5.4 litre engine (plenty big) and a trailer towing package...the works. They were asking $33,000.00 for it. Not bad until you consider that it holds somewhere around 36 gallons....GALLONS of gas...(in the range of 150 buckaroos! a fill). Since I would have to use it as my vehicle to get around in, it is prohibitive....but so nice....and we could pull the trailer with it. Well it is to dream.

Well better go and rest.....see ya ....peace
