Think if I count up all of my overtime hours that can count towards time put in before retirement? I've got to be getting close...
Back to work I go...well I guess I brought the files with me so into the home office I go to work (again). So sorry to all of you that I haven't talked to - just been too busy with work stuff but as noted above, I'm probably soon close to retirement so I will visit with you then.

The Weekend
On the weekend I went home to do a few things and visit the parents.

I tried to leave at noon but of course got stuck at work later than I thought. I just went alone as James couldn't get off work early at all. I stopped at Princess Auto to pick up an angle drill for Dad. It was POURING outside so every farmer in Saskatchewan was at Princess Auto hanging out. I finally got on the road (I went through P.A.) Dad and I started working on our car for a bit. The plan was to do the front brakes and rotors, spark plugs and an oil change. Oh did I mention that the bleeder screw broke off on the one side and it was all rusted so a PA trip was in store for Saturday.

Woke up and had breakfast with Mom & Dad (that was nice). Mom & I started making MORE salsa. (yes, I know this is my third double batch). Dad came in and we needed to get to PA before noon to get another part he needed for a van he was working on. (Darn those busted off bolts in that water pump). Oh well - gave me an excuse to buy dad lunch and Tim Hortons. Yummers. Back home we kept working on the car and had a hugely delicious supper of chicken, potatoes & corn. Thanks Mama.

Got up, breakfast with the parents again then finished off the car with dad and packed up. (Of course Mom sent me off with a care package (chocolate zucchini cake, salsa and a frozen chicken). I went off to Birch Hills to visit the inlaws for a bit. Boy the longer I sat there and visited the more my Hastings care package grew too...carrot salad, dill pickles, soup, pizza stuff, new Hastings honey, and fish. James I hit the jackpot and I'm coming home. :D
Oh by the way did I say how much it rained? Dad's rain guage showed from Wednesday overnight to Sunday morning, 5 INCHES of rain! You thought the Hagen road was crappy before? Think of 2 foot potholes full of water so you can't see they are 6 or 8 inches deep. Yipes.
This is now what the road between Hagen & Birch Hills
looks like - a secondary highway!
YIPES!
