On our farm the only down time is a bit of time in the winter

As of now my son and grandson with their women folks are on vacation whilst we hold down the fort

As soon as they get back it is our turn for vacation

We will be in Portugal and Spain

When our younger folks get back then work begins

We don't have so many responsibilities thus we can leave later

My wife is counting the days and really excited

I espect if I can get Wi Fi I will be able to connect with the forum

That is if we got all the corect plugs and prongs sorted out, so we can hook up to the world net

Lost our hydro due to an ice storm last nite. Have a small generator but it won't run the clothes dryer

My wife was going crazy, trying to get the clothes sorted out and ready

I think when the hydro come back on, then my wife sorta settled down.

Not that anybody really cares but I posted any way

Sorry folks but we have seen most of your country so now we go across the pond

I still think Hawaii is the best place to go but after a couple times then new things beckon our interest

Good for you. For many years we had cows and being a Lone Ranger we weren’t able to get away much. With school summer was the only time and that was too busy.


I’m perfectly happy with what is now termed a “staycation”, the Mrs on the other hand isn’t.


Say, what about she goes with you ? She’s a good cook, most would say a good conversationalist, and I would say attractive.

Wayne, bring a Canadian sports team cap with you, so they won't think you're one of those obnoxious Americans.

Enjoy !

Re: One yr I just grabbed a cap and away we went

A person came up to me and asked if I was Canadian

He said the  cap I was wearing was a Canadian beer cap

Surprised the heck out of me

I also have trouble with side walk vendors getting in my face

About once every trip I have to let er fly at them

I can go toe to toe and holler just as loud

My wife made me promise not to make a scene this trip

One yr I almost ended up in jail

That was in Italy over poor room service

Nothing worked, no Wi Fi No TV and nobody would do anything

Needless to say I lost my cool, grabbed him by the tie and told him things needed attention

He said he was alone and could not leave the desk but I saw somebody in the back room

Probably his girlfriend but by then I did not care. He did come up with me right behind and get things fixed

We got a phone call, in the room, later, from I do not know who, telling me to settle down or the police would be called

I am not sure mc

Your wife might be in for more than she bargained for
