Happy Birthday Paul, it's his 34th Birthday, and we're spending it in Moose Jaw.
Bill took us around to the few sites and sounds to see in the city, we checked out the local Armory and then we went back to Regina to check out Wholesale sports and Princess Auto.

It's a good thing I'm flying back, there's always a few things I would like to pick up at Princess Auto

We ended the night with a Birthday Day Dinner for Paul

Pics for the day

We made it as far as Moose Jaw today, apparently we're going to be spending a few nights here.
My cousin Bill will be putting my brothers and I up for a couple of nights, which is nice

To our surprise him and Amanda will be putting on a BBQ for us, it's nice to be stationary for a bit, but at the same time for my Brothers upcoming birthday, I was hoping to be enjoying it in Calgary. Also, I'm worried about how much time we have left before we have to fly home, I was only able to get a couple of days off work. 

For now, we're going to take it easy and enjoy the receding flood waters around Moose Jaw

Our day started with a big hearty meal, need to top up the tank for the drive ahead. After taking in a few of the monuments of Kenora, we got back on to the road and headed to the Provincial border, even from Kenora it still took a while to get to the Manitoba border.

Finally after 3 days of drive, and nearly 2000 km of driving we reach the border.

This the first time I've been out of Ontario on it's western border!

Day three and we left probably the shadiest hotel I've ever stayed at, during the night I thought the hotel manager was going to break in and do things......well it wasn't the greatest hotel in the world.

We left Long Lac, grabbed a coffee and continued on our journey, we made the usual stops long the way at any places worth taking in the scenery, Lake Nipagon, Thunder Bay, The Terry Fox Memorial, Kakabeka Falls, the Time Zone Change and a few other.

I was really hoping to make it out of the province today, but we only got as far as Kenora. It seems to be a bit of a Northern Ontario party town. Each day gets a but further west, tomorrow out of the Province or bust!

It's day 2 of the big move, we've left Huntsville and continued along Hwy 11 up through northern Ontario, it's the first time I've ever been up this way before, and it's nice. Not too much to see in the way of development on the road, but there is a lot of natural surroundings to admire....that's when I'm not taking my eyes off the road.

We continued along as far as well could, my Brother Jonathan has been riding shotgun with me so far, Paul is with Jay in the U-Haul....and Benjie the dog.

My Uncle Jay has decided to move out west, he will be moving to a town north of Calgary called Lacombe.

My brothers and I have volunteered to help Jay, Cindy and Jesse pack up all their belongings, load up the truck and drive out west with him.

Before heading out on the road, we spent a couple of days packing up all of their belongs (and Jay's Garage.....I've never seen so much stuff).

I'm about to hit the big 30, so to celebrate I'm going to stock up on a bunch of beverages for the party.

I can't believe I'm going to to be 30...I guess I'm over the first hump.

My co-workers and I went camping at Arrowhead provincial park this month (it's become an annual tradition) and a great time was had by all.

The weather wasn't too bad, the food was amazing and I was finally able to get out and try fishing for the first time.

Well this week I was hit by a bombshell, two of my co-workers will be quitting shortly.

Ling Cheung and Marek Kupsta will be quitting Q9 for new careers, I like to wish them all the best in their future endeavors and hopefully they'll still come out for the occasional wing night.

I was asked an interesting question the other day at work.

My colleagues and I were asked by our supervisor Marcel, if you had to do it all over again, what would you do? What job would you like to be in?

Monday was my birthday, I turned 28 years old. I'm a little surprised I've made it this far in life. I guess it's mean to be.

Well, it has almost been one full year since my last post, all things considering that's pretty good.

I was awoken this morning with a option of coming into work for an OT shift, usually they're nice and quiet, but today was quite busy.
