I have to go look at a little job out on ritzy boca grande island in the morning (crossed fingers)

Nice looking cover, Mike!  In this heat, gotta be careful what you wish for.  I lose about 3 to 4 pounds every day to sweat (during the course of the day).  Not healthy, I'm thinking....

A lot of changes since you were on last. I still have the house in Kenora and dreams of someday getting back there but I took a job in Brandon Man. to be closer to my ailing parents just over 4 years ago. Mom died the week before I was to start, then Dad's health started to fail. He died last November, but the economy in Kenora is still weak and the money here is good. My boss is such an A-hole and the work so mind numbing that he has to over pay to keep anyone.

Either way I'll be somewhere along the Transcanada next summer and your more than welcome.
