This is going to be some kind of weekend…..the forecast is for no snow….I will believe it when I see it. Hope that it is true. I got some much needed yard work done yesterday. It was just a beautiful day and the forecast is for another nice day today. I am going to take a run up Highway 40 and see if the gate is open…..I don’t think they open it till later in the year but I want to check it out. I need to go to work for a while but hope to get out of there by noon and make a run and then back to yard work for late afternoon. That is the problem with this late spring is that when the weather does turn nice you have to do the yard work that you normally have done in April. So it is “crunch” time…..working on the car, doing the yard and trying to get some riding in. Oh yah….and I have to show up at work…..at least for some of the time.

Well…..there is only one way to explain it……I,m pissed off……It’s still snowing, the Flames lost, and my bike has a dead battery and my race car is still in pieces. It’s been a really long winter. Not that hard a winter, just long. Boy am I ready for spring/summer. I just need a good run on the bike to get my head straight….maybe a run to the cabin….I should mention that the cabin is in Nova Scotia…..yes a 12000 km run…..that would do it.

Well…..I have about enough of this weather. Snow, minus 20 with the wind chill and supposed to keep it up till the end of the week. Makes living in Costa Rica look real appealing. My buddy from Nova Scotia called yesterday and they were going out to our cabin and doing some fishing….he said it was a perfect spring day there. Oh well, we have had a decent winter so far but it is turning into a LONG winter. Sounds like the main storm went north of us last night. QE2 highway to Edmonton sounds like it is pretty rough shape…..hope it get cleaned up by this afternoon…..I’m off to my support group meeting tonight at the Royal Alex.

That was some snow storm yesterday. It took me 1 hr to get from Country Hills to 64th on 14th. It wouldn’t be so bad but it probably isn’t the last storm of the year. Oh well…..it is better today and the weekend is supposed to be nice. We will see…….How about our Flames, got a split in San Jose and now are home for the next two. That will be the big test…..you know this one will go to 7. Blue Jays are still dropping winnable games…..but what else is new…..I hope to watch Kevin Martin tonight when he takes on the Scotts in the 1-2 page game.This is the world curling championship. Good luck Kevin.
