Excellent, I will teach him the secret handshake when we meet

A special "welcome to the club" for him, then

Neil....I think you just confirmed Zane's suspicions about your true identity.

Have a safe and good trip, Jim!

I will, thanks Zane. 6AM here right now, Lisa is still fast asleep. As soon as she gets up and going, and does her umpteen checks to see she has anything, only to realize 5 minutes down the road she doesn't...we will leave. Hopefully within 3 hours. It is about a 6 1/2 hour drive.

I saw the coolest planting thing on FB tonight: https://www.facebook.c​om …3991696529&type​=1&theater

My daughter posted that a few days back on facebook, it does look cool for a temp setup.

Our grass is so patchy....it has been seeded, watered, and everything like crazy....yet it still fails.

You guys gotta quit peeing on it.

I need a house with land. Not going to happen though

Have you considered moving? I see some land prices throughout the US that are still staggeringly low.

British weirdness prevails.

How is Ziggy, Jim?

I would move but there aren't that many locations that have much use for an engineer who specialises in power generation.

And those areas that do are highly populated cities!

Ziggy is doing great. He is a well behaved baby, and my daughters only complaint is his constant need to feed.

I know a few power systems engineers myself. Seems Calgary is a good place , though not sure house prices are much better. The average price for houses (discluding condos) is $464,834 for the year to date. Lots of homes with lots of grass too. My lot in the inner city is 60'x175', though the new areas have much smaller lots.

And, at somewhere just over 1.2 million people in Calgary proper, we are small in comparison to many US cities.

You know, you really shouldn't admit it.

I know, it scared me.

You should be okay. We have had a couple frosts but done okay.

It was 33.7°F just before dawn, just missed freezing, there was frost on the roof and cars, but I didn't see a lot on the grass. I'm going out in a few minutes to uncover everything and will cover again tonight. I'll check the uncovered stuff later today to see how it did.

Baxter has his annual check up today. He is doing better than me as I have forgotten to do anything in the last 2 years. I really need to remember to make some appointments.

That is a neat idea. Packing the dirt in would be a pain but not as bad as tilling a garden up. You can replace the soil and use a very nice mix. Pretty nifty.

Cool idea. I would pull the top slats, fill with dirt, then replace the slats. Maybe that is in the directions, so far all I did was look at the picture.

Safe travels, friends.

That is the first major spewage I have had in a long time.

From last month:

Such an adorable child, Harm. He is already a heart melter.

I think a day trip is needed for pics, Becky!
