Update 21:


Ever heard of writers block? Well, without trying to claim that I am any kind of writer, I have to admit I have been suffering from either it or lazyness, or perhaps something else. I haven’t wanted to post in a while for a bunch of reasons that I don’t want to get into right now.

Mostly I just want to put up a post saying that I had a great time on a big boat. A cruise actually, that toured the Aegean Sea in somewhat Eastern Europe. It was a cruise masterminded by my Uncle Malcolm who partly wanted to have a family reunion and partly wanted to have a bunch of rowdies help him celebrate his 60th milestone.

So 18 of us, Aunts, Uncles, Brothers, Sisters, Cousins, Ma’s & Pa’s ripped up Costa Serena, complete with the younger generation decked out in black tuxedo t-shirts in the tune of neon green faux shirt and neon pink faux bow tie for the gents, reversed colours for the ladies. I’ll post pic’s & relay some stories later hopefully, but haven’t yet gone thru the 1000’s of photo’s. But don’t worry when we weren’t wandering around lost in Italy, Greece, Turkey or Croatia we were well hydrated.

I am currently in Tisdale, northern Saskatchewan. I drove out here a few days after returning back from the boat & the UK. What can I tell you about it so far? The equipment is gynormous, and more or less newish. We start driving to Oklahoma on Tuesday, something like a 2-3 day drive.

Remember the re-rednecktification that I talked about last time. Well, I can’t imagine a better spot (check out the picture of the sign on the photosite). I am in the heart of Canadian redneckdome. It’s not so bad. I also realized how much I have changed since last time I was on a farm.

I got very upset (internally, not vocally) one night when one of the guys went off on homosexual dudes. I guess I’ve become pretty accepting of just about everything in the past few years. I once probably would have joked along with him, times change. Most of you know that I am not the most kosher, or PC guy out there. Well, I don’t hold a candle in the wind out here.

That’s it for now, I hope you enjoy the photo’s, none of me, sorry or you’re welcome depending on what suits yer fancy. I’ll put a real post out once I have a few things all settled.

Oh Yeah, rape seed is another word for Canola. Just thought it would be an interesting photo. ☺
