Calgary Skyline in the background - shrouded by smog - something we here in Alberta are not accustomed to.
The new Calgary Hospital on the South side continues to Grow
I have been driving her in, but yesterday was supposed to be her initiation into driving the New Jeep on her own. She did drive it a few miles while down in Arizona on the desert, but was still nervious about going to the BIG city alone. In the end she coerced me into "Riding Shotgun" for the day. She did a great job and from now on will need no more coaching from me. The steering is much more sensitive than the old Lincoln's is, as is the gas pedal. Takes a little getting used to.
Other things during the last week, well income tax, completed and sent in, money back for both Denice and I, a nice surprise, but son Ross has to pay. Poor guy, he seems to always have to pay. Must be that Sears, where he works, or Langscaping Ventures, our little company, is not taking enough from him. Have to get that sorted out sometime! hmmm!
One other item; TOADONE, our little tow car, that we have pulled the last couple of years until we bought the Jeep Liberty, was broken into while we were down south for the winter. Ross had been driving it as it was much cheaper to use than his gas guzzling pickup. He had left it in his driveway and during on night someone slashed the back window ( it was a soft top, so sides were canvas and windows were plastic). Rather ironic that they slashed the window, when all they had to do was unzip the back widow, as it has a large zipper around the entire window. I guess its just easier with a knife!! There was nothing to steal inside other than a small stop watch that Ross had, a $10 value. Appears to me to just be kids in a destructive mood. However, I have the vehicle sold to friends of friends down in Warner, Alberta, so needed to get it replaced. Finally found a supply place called Zuki National, in Airdrie, Alberta that had them as used stock. Purchased it for $40 + $20 delivery by Greyhound. Received it yesterday, so will have Ross bring TOADONE out today and install -- Just Zip it in! Then get serviced and safety check prior to towing it to Warner where we will say a fond farewell to a great little vehicle. We will miss TOADONE, just a great little unit to bomb around in! But we have to get our vehicle number down. Just too many of them around here. Insurances, licences, parking space, etc, etc
