Deffinately don't want to mow my lawn or clean out the dog kennel or the yard for that matter with 6 huskies & a Great Dane.

My slice of privacy away from other people.

I'm thinking with 7 dogs and a Harley or two Greg's just traded one noise for another. But a acreage would be sweet

Spring sucks, time for new tires to deal with the inch of water all over the road, I miss my awd minivan, even my street bike handles the water better than my fwd minivan

Hopefully one day it'll stop raining out here so I can finally pull the motor out of my minivan and build a new one

Figure 350hp in a minivan should be sufficient

I probably do start a new tank each spring so maybe it's another sign?

Absolutely, it is no surprise really. But being Calgarian means it is in our nature act completely surprised and to bitch about the weather even tho we completely expect it, each and every single year :lol:

I seem to recall from my days of living in the sunny south, that there was always a nice big wet snowstorm in May that took down power lines between Medicine Hat and Calgary. Seemed like an annual event.
Up here we only have 3 seasons. Summer , Winter and something similar to Spring.

Yup, lived in Canmore for over 20 years up until 5 years ago and you could count on it snowing May long weekend.

We have a hockey playoff game tonight on the other end of the city, hopefully the plows are out. My daughter left for work this morning and said Stoney trail hadn't been touched, was doing 40kms and was petrified, we'll probably pick her up tonight . Yep, spring in Calgary, in like a lion, out like a lamb???
