Watch this!

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a Snowbird pilot.  I LOVED the Snowbirds (of course I grew up in Moose Jaw which is their home base so we saw them a lot).

A buddy sent me this video.  It gives a unique perspective on the team and their formations.  Enjoy!  :)

Boys - find a wife life this!

Some women demand diamonds.  Some rant about roses.  Some prefer perfume.  Some tirade for trips. Others are monsters about money.

But who can find a wife like mine?

I bought her a gift today.  It was a secret!  I walked her out to my truck and then (in front of all the neighbours - even though I knew it may make their wives SUPER jealous) I unloaded this bad boy.......

Now I know what you are thinking....... "How can you spoil Sari like that?" and "What are you trying to do???  Now our wives are going to expect the same thing!"

But you know what?  Too bad!!!  Sari deserves it!

The best part..... and I am not even making this up (Ask the girls who watched the whole thing from the living room window)..... Sari's reaction was as if I had bought her a new diamond ring.  :)

Boys - find a wife like that!  One who is happy when you give her an obviously stupid present.... one who is happy with the simple things in life.... and especially one who is excited about doing yard work!!!!  :)

Then, as I looked at it, I found the other best part of this deal.  Look at what the tire says on it.....

Now, I am not sure where you live nor what condition you have to be in to look at a wheelbarrow and go..."Man, that looks good!!! I bet it can do 60!"

But I am glad there was a warning on it.  I may have done something really stupid otherwise!

A Spring Tradition

I know it is spring when I get to go to the "Majestics Car Show" in Regina. 

Every year the group that I go with seems to change a bit (we add a couple of guys, others can't go) but it is always a good time. 

For me, part of the fun is talking to exhibitors.  Most people just walk up, look at the car and move on, but the really interesting part is the story (how the guy found the car, what shape it was in, how much work it needed, etc).  Of course they are always eager to talk because (a) they have a lot of time and money invested in these things and they are proud of them and (b) they get bored silly just standing there watching people walk past. 

As an added bonus, I got tons of free tickets to stock car races, drag races, mud races, etc just because I stopped and talked to them - so that was good too. I have my summer entertainment all lined up and it is free!!  :)

This year the car club added a "Motorcycle Experience"... and that, in my opinion, was the best part of the show.  Here are some of my favorites.

 And then these last two are for Sari who always says that she would like to have a "Little Red Wagon".  How about this one?  It has 1/2 of an old go cart tire under the seat for suspension and dude said that it goes about 70 mph.  What do you think????  You could get to school in no time flat on that thing.

Getting ready for Spring

Spent part of the day replacing fork seals in a 1980 Honda so that it will be ready to sell when spring comes. 

Spring is coming right????
