Falling

Fall is on it's way, so it's falling. What a wonderful summer we have had though. It certainly makes me forget about the last couple of crappy ones. A few of our neighbours are putting down sod and getting trees since it's getting a bit cooler. We haven't decided either way about anything in the yard yet and may just wait until spring to do the grass. We did weed our entire yard this last weekend in preparation for some work in a few days. We're getting some berms added and our backyard leveled a bit more. The weeding was not fun - especially when it was 36 degrees on sunday. However the job is done and we're sore to prove it.

Farming is almost done here in the interlake, or should I say harvesting. That's about a month earlier than normal. The ag industry in Saskatchewan and Alberta has also picked up a bit here at work. I'm seeing a few more apps than normal for items such as grain bins and augers. Nothing like last year from Saskatchewan, but still busy.

Marla and I have decided to hold off on buying a new computer until after the end of October. If anything we might just upgrade the one we have because, hey, it still does the job. Other than that everything is pretty much status quo.

This is totally going in our dining room

I'm trying to find a larger version of this picture to print and put in our dining room. I find it very amusing and I believe it's very "us" (and in Marla and I).

Glass lined lungs

That's what it feels like anyway. Or more like a glass lined throat. Doing the insulation and vapour barrier in the basement now and I've come to realize that I don't believe insulation is in my future career path. I tried wearing a mask but with every exhale I was steaming up my glasses. I know, I know, inhaling fiberglass vs. steamed up glasses should be an easy choice.

Anywho, like I said, it's almost done. Just being held up by a part of an exterior wall (ie: one we did not do - the builder did it) that's bowed a bit. Once that's fixed we can finish it completely and get the inspector in to have a look. Once he approves, then it's on to drywall.

Travis Pastrana double back flip at the X-Games last night.

Awesome.

Cedar dog

Not much to report today, so here's a picture of Cedar. Took it this evening out on the front walkway. Fixed the levels using photoshop and added a very muted sepia toning to it (just enough to give a slight brown filter). I think it came out ok. It's really hard to take a bad picture of Cedar anyway as she is very photogenic.
