I’m back from my internet-free long weekend showing dogs in hazy, blazing hot Calgary, and still have a very busy day ahead cleaning up odds and ends, including my dusty, heat baked vehicles and equipment.
Many thanks to our guest bloggers for keeping the place hopping. I’ll be back to semi-normal posting by this evening.

A change is a good as a rest, or so I have heard.
Hop on Line 5 again.

or if you can’t hit the CBC straight on

“Natural Resources Canada told CBC News the alternative to Line 5 would be shipping fuel on 800 rail cars and 2,000 trucks a day across Canada, plus 15,000 trucks in the U.S. “
I follow this a lot. Want my take, be my guest and shut it down. Please. Have some Paiutes block railway tracks for the “go around traffic”, too. Watch Ontario and Quebec heads explode. Buy popcorn out here in Alberta/Saskatchewan and watch the show, because we get ours from Edmonton refiners. We supply part of Washington State, all of BC, AB, SK, MB, ONT and a goodly part of Quebec.’s petroleum products. We produce everything they use petroleum wise in Ontario and a good chunk of Quebec, only part of theirs is shipped from overseas, or from the US. Bai-den isn’t a friendly to us anymore, guaranteed. Quebec doesn’t like Alberta’s “dirty” oil, but it’s the same color as the stuff that lands on the east coast refiners at Saint John NB, or clean burning western natural gas, their latest foot in mouth cancellation. COVID will never be discussed in Kan-eh-duh again. Too busy freezing in the dark and walking every where, in Ontario and Quebec.
PO, I hate most of my fellow Canadians, but it pisses me off when someone suggests that I suffer because of some other idiots. How about working to stop these assholes. I did business all across Canada and the only place I got aggrevation was in Quebec, but I still managed to make a profit.
Dragged the RZ500 out for the first time in four years,nutty bike. Do you still have the 350? I’ve been out of touch for a while.
I sold her last month to a bike restorer. She’ll get a good home. I was too old for her, and she was too old for me. It was time.
I have the same problem with my Kawasaki S2A and H4 – I doubt I have the strength to handle the H4, and the S2A needs work. Check out “Dreamcycle” in Sorrento. Which bike restorer?
Thank you Kate, looking at an africa twin, taking time to travel, Dirt bike back ground.
We’d be interested in knowing how much silk and hardware you came home with.
Yes
We did ok, took a couple of young dogs. The puppy finished his championship title while the Next Big One® mostly made up for lost time by getting badly needed ring seasoning, with a moderately nice win the last day.
Agreed!
I frankly have far greater interest in the ranking of your pups than I do of any Olympic team or athlete.
(Are any of your dogs gender confused? And… if you showed a male dog as a bitch would there be advantages? And… are there reprisals if they take a pee during the anthem? )
But seriously congrats on the best of breeds!!!
I’m trying to figure out the point systems AKC, CKC. For example I took off my shoes and socks and came up with 90 points while the total shows 86,.. huh.
I’m also having trouble finding the non-listening bitch class. I have 2 of those. (No no not my daughters. That’s listening followed by bitching, an entirely different animal.)
