Woops....hahahaha fuck. I deleted the main thread by accident. I saw a spam bot had made a post so I banned it and then deleted the thread without thinking, as I usually do but the spam bot actually posted in our usual thread instead of creating one of it's own, which they usually/always do.
Sorry for the inconvenience, don't think it's the end of the world otherwise.

Weird. Usually the spam bots just build their own thread. Oh well, now I'm in this one from the beginning instead of halfway through.

I feel bad but it could be a good thing to purge since there was various personalish info in there from over the years, one of the CSi loonies could have used it for creeping purposes.
It was a dumb mistake, the spam bot posted a massive list of links in several posts which took up a whole page so just by default I banned the bot then went back to the main forum page and clicked on its post and deleted the thread. Afterwards I was like...wut.
My bad, won't do that again.

Just booked a trip for my sister and 2 nieces to come out and visit from the east coast for the start of March, so I'm hoping it's still some what winterish then, at least in the mountains.
Fucking rained like whoa in Vancouver this past weekend, I guess you would get used to it living there but for me it would get old. No snow ftw though I guess. Supposed to rain a decent chunk this upcoming week while I'm in Florence, somewhat poopy but I guess it's their winter weather as well so what can ya do.

It's supposed to be +7 today here. I've yet to wear my winter jacket this month. It's been hoody or fall jacket weather. It just needs to melt and dry and I can get biking by the end of march.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. Been working on a project for over 2 months now and it's nothing but road blocks and problems. Makes me want to slam my face off my desk. Just had a call with some network engineers, and the project contact that's been complaining about time constraints and wanting shit done doesn't even join the call and he's the reference for his sites information. I filled in the blanks pretty well but would have been much easier/better if he was on the call. Paying a 3rd party company $20k a month for running this as a pilot and we haven't even used any of their services yet

If you like walking, the river valley trails are pretty nice. It's such a tough time of the year though because of weather. But, if it's nice, Hawrelak Park is a great place to start. If you stay downtown it's pretty close to everything.
I had no idea where the Matrix was and had to look it up. I'm pretty close to it at least. You'd be a quick walk to the Legislature, which is not the most entertaining for sight seeing, but the grounds are really nice and there is lots of Alberta government history to see and read. The new visitor center is pretty nice. They usually have some neat government related historical stuff at all times. They recently had the Magna Carta on loan for the public to view. It was pretty interesting.
If you stay there, there is a great Thai place worth checking out. They even have a real ladyboy server. My wife and I go fairly often. https://www.google.ca/maps/dir/Matrix+Ho...41!2d53.5370342
High Level diner and Sugar Bowl are also great places for some decent food. Sugar Bowl has a great beer list, and it's nice to sit on their sidewalk patio and have a drink and people watch. They are local and have been around forever. They are a "quick" walk across the High Level bridge that has some pretty nice views of the city and downtown.
Why are you coming? Business? I would suggest a trip to the mountains, but it's a 3.5-4 hour drive. I would save it for your Calgary trip. It's much closer and easier to just do a day trip.
If you've never been, West Edmonton Mall is still pretty neat to see. Once you live here though you avoid it at all costs. Unless you have some shopping that needs to be done it's just a big mall with an amusement park and a water park inside it.
I've marked you in my calendar, so I can be reminded that you are coming. I will try and keep an eye out for interesting things that are coming up in the city that might be worth checking out.
Are you a golfer at all?
If you stay downtown, there are all sorts of pubs, and bars to check out.
Whyte Ave is close. It's the University party area if clubbing is your thing, but it also has a lot of good pubs and places to eat.
I will update as I think of other things.

Apparently the best poutine in Edmonton is close to the High Lever Diner and Sugarbowl. I've never been, but I see they have vegan options, so I might have to try it. (not vegan...lactose intolerant) https://www.google.ca/maps/dir/Matrix+Ho...!2d53.52324!3e0
Looking up things to do is opening new doors for me.
This area is probably one of my favorites in the city. It's got a great view, there is a ton of places to eat, drink, get coffee, and walk to.

That feel when you take your sister and 2 young nieces to the airport for their 7am flight and are told they won't make the flight because it's 2 minutes before the close the flight for accepting baggage.....that feel is rage.
Fuck air canada in it's stupid face. This is the nail in the coffin for giving them any business. Did online check-in yesterday, went in this morning hit up a self check in terminal to print off boarding passes and pay for bag fees, it says to go to customer service for assistance. Wait in line for a few mins and the lady telling people which line to take immediately says they aren't going to make their flight because the flight closes in 2 minutes...I'm like well we're already checked in, why can't we drop off the bags and get them through security?
She ushers us up to a customer service lady, she's like yeahhh oooo not gunna make it...i'm like uhh they were checked in since yesterday and I have been here and already checked in since before the cut off, why can't we get them through? Boarding doesn't start for 15 minutes. Her response was "I don't know"
At this point I'm pretty steamed, I wasn't even looking at her and I mutter 2 fucking minutes, she says to me with tone "why is it our fault that you are late?" I'm like what...the....fuck. I tell her that I was speaking to myself and not to agitate me.
Stunned cunts exist in the world, and she was definitely one. She just wasn't a smart person, or helpful whatsoever. No one was looking/yelling around for the last name to try and get people onboard while we waited to talk to the first air canada lady, we were already checked in, if the self check in machines had just printed off the bag tags we could have dropped them off and got them through security before boarding even started. But nope, just stupidity and pretty much straight rudeness.
They ended up getting booked on a later flight, but instead of getting in at 5pm, they get in a midnight now. I guess my lesson learned is even if you're flying domestic, show up 39 hours early. I think I'll pay extra to fly westjet now.

I'm also not a golfer. I do enjoy the driving range though, and there is a pretty decent one in the river valley that should be open by then.

wait a min... so you show up roughly 30 mins before the flight leaves and you dont understand why your baggage cant make it on? If they would have made it through security and made the gate they would have been fine. But that isnt nearly enough time for them to get the bags on the plane.
Oh and fuck westjet. Their seats a tiny. Every 2nd trip I take with them they leave my shit in another city. No free upgrades to 1st class. I avoid them like the plague. No we showed up an hour early, used the self check in terminals to print off boarding passes and pay bag fees, then it told us to contact the customer service agents for bag tags, then from here waiting to speak to someone they're like lol you late now, you fucked. In the time we waited and tried to sort things out they told us we're late and the flight is closed now.
I wish Canada had more than just 2 major airlines.

Okay confirmed for April 21st through the 29th, staying at the Matrix Hotel in Downtown Edmonton. Cool cool, should be reasonably warm by then so you shouldn't die, although you'll probably still find it cold because Texas

Gunna pull the Zonda 2000 out soon, well lining up getting the header installed and upgraded diff as well so I can get some tuning shit sorted out. Want the car 100% for this season, was plagued with it stalling most of last season which drove me up the wall.

Okay confirmed for April 21st through the 29th, staying at the Matrix Hotel in Downtown Edmonton.
Sweet!
Too bad I'll be in Jasper that weekend. I'm hoping it will be dry so I can take my bike with me and hit some trails.

In other news: Wifey and I headed to Jasper for a romantic weekend to celebrate our 2 year anniversary. She ended up with food poisoning on Friday, so I got to handle the romantic business all by myself for 3 days.
I've also never seen anyone projectile vomit in a long time. She painted the street and the hotel hallway. It was pretty amazing.

We are thinking it was either the sturgeon or the cheese aperitif that the chef brought out. Since she couldn't sleep, she was up on the internets trying to figure out what bug she had and what could cause it. It was some sort of Staph because of the time frame of her taking a first bite to her blowing chunks on Patricia street.

Yeah. I'm looking forward to getting back on the bike. I bought a new road bike so I'm looking forward to trying it out and seeing if I can keep up with her until the mountain bike trails are dry.

Street sweepers haven't hit my neck of the woods yet, not that the amount of gravel here isn't near as bad as Red Deer, I'll still wait for most of it to be cleaned up before I start driving the car regularly. Just got insurance put back on it so I'm going to roll her out and give it a wash this weekend. Go for a spin and remember what driving a fast car is like, not that the MDX isn't a speed demon...
Might do pulled pork or ribs this weekend on the smoker, working tomorrow will be hard when it's so nice out.
FYI fellow Calgarian homies, National on 17th is doing happy hour all day on all their beers this wednesday, can get some yummy beers for their 25 cent pricing, works out to be a couple bucks for a beer.

I got to finally meet Moof. He's in town picking up his new truck. We went for dinner and some beers, then went to Ford and drooled all over the new GT350's that were in the lot. There was easily a dozen of them.

OT hasn't been too bad lately, pretty calm for the past few weeks. Maybe we've reached a medium.............probably not
My car is running good after my tuner fixed a bunch of shit, feelsgoodman.jpg Last summer was pretty lame due to it always stalling at idle...which was caused by the rad fan kicking in and taking just enough juice to kill the car. I guess with the blower eating up extra resources the fan was the cause. He upped the idle just a little bit to alleviate the power draw and voila, no more stalling. ridic.

My boss' last day before he transfers is this Friday, asked him about me working from home exclusively to which he was like I personally don't give a fuck, you should be able to but the CIO is big on people working from the office. But he understood it's a bit different for me where I have a desk in an office of people I don't interact with other than occasional small talk or smiling at random people in the hallway. So gotta bring it up with another manager and if he ok's it then I can retire wearing dress clothes....

Sweet. I'm waiting for us to be limited to the amount we put out. I've been consistently putting out 15-20 bags of yard waste. We're pulling all the shitty mulch the previous owner put in all the flower beds.

As of right now there is no limit. Max recycle bags, as many black garbage as you can put out, and as many properly bagged/packaged yard wastes as you can put out.

Moof is like that. Something is always broken with him. What can I say? I'm rough on myself. Newest verdict: torn longhead biceps tendon and glenoid labrum. 3-4 months off work after I get the surgery.
All I read was torn labia

Nice. We are heading there Sept. 17-Oct. 1.

We are going to be there Sept. 18-21. 2 nights @ Brackley Beach, and then 2 nights in Charlottetown. Then back to Nova Scotia till Oct. 1. We have a cruise booked on the Bluenose, 3 days on the Cabot Trail, and a weekend in Annapolis valley with some friends doing a wine tour.

If you're going out to Brackley then hit up Richards, it's on a wharf mixed in with some fishing charter places and an ice cream place, best fish and chips I've ever had...so damn good.
If you want an awesome lobster supper then New Glasgow Lobster suppers is prob my fav as the amount of food you get is ridiculous...unlimited soup/salad, mussels, fresh in house made rolls, dessert, and then your lobster of the size you choose, or you can get ham with scalloped potatoes if you or your wife don't like lobster. The Water prince corner shop is supposed to be pretty good but I've never had lobster there, it's right in charlottetown down by the water front.
Victoria row is full of restaurants/places to drink, short walk away from the charlottetown harbour. Always very busy.
Gahan house has good food and good in house beer they brew as well.
Outside of this, beaches everywhere, I imagine you'll tour around the island since it doesn't take very long to drive tip to tip haha. Confederation bridge is cool to see/drive over once....can't see much driving over it due to barrier walls but it's pretty impressive to park at either side and see how big it is.
I'll prob be able to give more ideas after I get a refresher when I go in a couple of weeks. Bit different for me as I just bounce around seeing friends and family, not so much of a vacation.

This is a good starter. I will print the recommendations for the wife to look over and see what she wants to hit up. We are driving so the Confederation bridge is happening. I wanted something cool for a rental, but we are getting a versa instead. At least gas will be cheap. We found some cabins in Brackley for $50 a night.

Cows ice cream is pretttyyyyyy yummy, there's a few stores across the island, and a creamery in North River/Cornwall that you can take a tour of and they have tons of ice cream and a giant cow out front.
Cavendish is nice, has some good beaches. Just depends on if the boardwalk will be open later into september.
Vroom vroom! lol. We book our rental through costco travel, always the cheapest. Last year we got a ford fusion, was actually pretty nice. Think we're getting a 300M or comparable this year for ~$400 for the week we're there. Once you go over the week it jumps up quite a bit. We fly out at 6AM and to keep the car past midnight it would be an extra hundred bucks....would be cheaper to take a cab haha, so we're just returning the car the night before we fly out and having my sister or buddy drop us off in the morning.

Shaw decided to drop my internet speed to .5 mbps when some promo pricing I had on my account expired and they decided to say fuck you to my grandfathered speed, nice surprise to come home to and wonder why my downloads were terribad.
Signed up for their 150 mbps promo at $80/month for 2 years and dropped my cable. Got my sisters shaw login so I can just stream tv now aka sports through their shaw free range service.
Getting 150-175 mbps now on speedtests, can download a movie now hella fast.

That'll be a nice trip though, haven't been to that island but heard good things. We're planning on hitting up van island next summer for one of the gf's cousins wedding anniversary, they're putting on a big shindig for it.
Prepare your body for some heat haha.

If you're a new customer to shaw it's $50 a month for the first year, then $80 per month for the remaining year of the 2 year contract I'm pretty sure is how it goes. Or if you're existing with shaw then you get $80 a month for 2 years. Good deal since their 30 mbps is like 70 a month lol
Get out of here Kristen this is a boys only club......sausage fest galore lullll

Good weekend away. Nice and relaxing...until the flight home. Our flight out of Vancouver was 2 hours late. We didn't get in the house till almost 1. My 450am alarm came way too fast. Today is a lazy write off at work.

Good you guys have a nice weekend, shitty about the delay...I know that pain. Our flight out of PEI was for 6AM, so we're up early as hell to shower and drive to the airport, check in, go through security....yeah there's something wrong with the plane we have to fly a mechanic in from Montreal your flight out is now at like noon...everyone go out to customer service and get your connects rebooked...woohooooooooooo
Fed my snake a rat last night before I went to bed, found this morning she constricted too hard...and I might have gave it to her too warm and she made the rat explode. Looked like a fucking murder scene in her home, pile of inside out rat in a corner, blood all over the glass, her water was green from blood and bits of guts being inside it. Fucking puke worthy while I was cleaning it up

I will tell you this, inside out dead rat does not smell good. fuuuuuuuuuuuu
the joys of being a reptile owner. We're watching the bro and sis in laws frogs right now while they're on their honeymoon. They're cool and pretty easy to take care of. but I don't know if I'd want frogs, cant really interact with them. Might be ok if you had a sweet home for them and was a good visual piece for your house. These are black and blue tropical frogs, small little guys, not your typical frogs.

I can't do reptiles. My buddy has a bearded dragon that I take care of when they are gone. He's such a tempermental bitch. Plus the bugs he eats stink so bad. Knock on wood though, he doesn't shit until they come back which is nice.

Snakes are good shit, I get why some people don't like them as far as being afraid of being bitten but they're not smelly slimy things that most people think they are. Some people are pretty out there and hardcore when it comes to being a snake enthusiast, I could never imagine having a giant boa or something similar. Or having an aggressive breed like a blood python or some jazz.
I'd like to get a dog but not til I buy a house.

Not sure if you like going to the mountains at all, but it's nice that Calgary is so close. If either wifey or I liked Calgary, we would move there in a heartbeat to be closer. We miss Hinton for only that reason.

Indeed I do, went camping 2 weeks ago, lucked out and it didn't actually rain at all. Was gunna go to Canmore this past Sunday but I was in Red Deer Saturday night and got back to Calgary too late to make the trip worth while.
How do you not like Calgary...? I'd say it's probably similar as to why I dislike Edmonton but probably not...as Calgary is a nice city and Edmonton isn't oh and the oilers...

I find Calgary just a pain in the ass to navigate and way too spread out. It might be because I've lived relatively central in Edmonton most of the time here so it's easy to get anywhere, and I can avoid shitty traffic situations, where as Calgary, no matter what the traffic is shit.

I rarely ever go to the north but it is spread out, pretty sprawly. As far as getting around I don't have a problem, I also never drive during rush hour though because that's straight death.

Nah. We have some friends in Halifax that we want to see before they move to somewhere shitty. Plus we've never been. Cabot Trail is on the books, a cruise on the Bluenose II, beach time on PEI, wine country in Nova Scotia, tea with one of my longest tenured friends mom. It's going to be a blast.

Alright let me see, I'll try to give info on places that I know or have been recommended. Things change every year I go back so always a bit of an update on certain spots each year.
Charlottetown:
Victoria Row - lots of good restaurants, patios, food/drinks. Right beside the city library and a few minute walk away from the harbour. Lots of cool old historical buildings around here as well.
Hunters pub - Good food, good beers, awesome service, the manager Steve Barber is probably the best guy when it comes to customer service I've ever met, awesome guy...bald and black rim glasses, if you go you'll see him. He just opened the beer gardens right across the street, the outside area is nice, good selection of beers, inside is nothing too special.
Gahan House - Old building, good food, brew their own beers which are yummy, I like the honey wheat and the blueberry. Very busy spot on weekends.
Water Prince corner shop - a lot of folk go here for lobster dinners, I hear it's good but have never been personally...which is strange lol. I prefer New glasgow lobster suppers myself.
Sims - bit more pricy, good steaks, good food.
Olde dublin pub - old school irish pub, good beers.
It's pretty hard to have a bad meal here, I could list off more but you can pretty much throw a dart at a board and pick a spot kinda deal and enjoy yourself with whatever random place you pick.
Victoria Park - There's a nice boardwalk built along the water, good for a nice walk and stop to check out old canons and there's an ice cream place open along the way if it's still in season.
Charlottetown harbour - lots and lots of knick knack stores, best place for cheap souvenirs and clothes. Various snacks and ice cream places around as well. Places to have food/drinks or to take a walk around.
There's a playhouse that will have a different show on each month or so, not sure if you're into that but it's fairly popular there.
Upstreet brewery - local microbrewery, can hit up their tasting room and try whatever they have on tap, they have board games and stuff to play.
Outside of Charlottetown:
New Glasgow Lobster Suppers - my fav place for a lobster dinner. You pick how large of a lobster you want, then it's unlimited salads, soup, fresh rolls, mussels until your lobster dinner comes, then unlimited desserts. Everything made fresh in house, crazy good. Busy spot though.
Richards Seafood - My go to for fish and chips, it's on a small wharf up by Brackley Beach. Their lobster roll looked awesome too, haven't tried it yet though.
Boom Burger - It's in North River/Cornwall off the highway beside the big Cows creamery. It's pretty good but have only gone there once or twice.
Deckers dairy bar - there's one in Cornwall, and one on the way out to Brackley Beach. Their flurries are awesome, like a DQ Blizzard but the ice cream and toppings used are better. Burgers, ice cream, anything I've had from Deckers is yummy.
Cows ice cream - Big one in North River/Cornwall, shops around Charlottetown, Cavendish, and where ever else. Great ice cream and waffle cones.
Not sure how warm it will be while you're there but in regards to beaches
Brackley Beach - White sand on the north shore, sand dunes, good size. super busy during summer
Cavendish Beach - Pretty nice, there's a boardwalk nearby with souvenir shops and restaurants
Canoe Cove - Probably my favorite growing up, not much of a beach to sit on unless the tide is out, grass area to sit on the cliff area above the beach.
Tracadie Beach - pretty busy beach during summer
I could go on but the whole fucking island is a beach
The island is tiny, you can drive around it in a day, there's lot of good random small restaurants in towns around the island, lots of nice old churches, tons of good places to take photos. Can literally drive around aimlessly and discover cool spots.
If the weather is still decent my buddy might still have his boat out, he'd take you guys out for a sail if you were interested, he lives out just past Montague, he's building his home/big ass cottage out there, still in the works but about half way done.
You'll find out pretty fast that the whole island has that small town vibe, everyone is very easy going and laid back. The driving is slow and terrible, people are over friendly and will do things that are illegal but it's just the way the island works.
Hopefully this is helpful, let me know if you have any questions about any finer details or recommendations, it's bit different for me where I just go visit friends/family and mainly just go to the beach and bbq where ever.

oh and you'll probably notice a ton of asians, mainly chinese, they've been buying up land and businesses like whoa the past few years. Every year I go back the more asians I see. Not racist but just strange for me as growing up there it was crazy to have one black kid in your entire school, now there's a metric fuck ton of chinese everywhere there.

No prob, hope you enjoy the trip. I'll prob only go for a long weekend trip next year, gf only gets 2 weeks vacation so going to go to van island next year instead to visit some of her family for a wedding anniversary of her cousins.
Booked a trip to Kauai in January airfare was dirt cheap and rented a house I found off VRBO for a good price split between myself and a buddy who he and his wife are coming with us. Something to look forward to once it gets real cold

I'm back! Thanks again for the list. It came in handy. We had a great time and want to go back. PEI is so nice! It sucks that it rained most of our trip, but we got some good days on the beach. Not warm enough for swimming and it was super windy, but still nice. Brackley is awesome. I drank everything Gahan could offer. We played pool at Dooly's in Downtown Charlottetown. It looked sketchy as fuck, but the drinks were super cheap and the pool table was in good shape. The food was amazing. Our favorite meal of the trip was easily the Blue Mussel Cafe. Their lobster roll was awesome.
We partook in a New Glasgow Lobster supper. I loved it. My wife not so much. She likes lobster, but the tearing it apart did not sit well. I ate most of her lobster too.
As much as we wanted to, we didn't eat anything from Cow's. I'm lactose intolerant, so ice cream is a big nope, and they couldn't guarantee that nothing was gluten contaminated so the wife couldn't try it either. I was sad for her.
We drove everywhere. We had a Buick Verano (garbage) and put 3200 kms + on it. We saw almost the whole island, most of Nova Scotia and Cape Breton and a little bit of New Brunswick. We definitely want to go back.

Sweet, glad you guys had a good time. PEI is pretty awesome, very beautiful. I'd recommend going mid July to mid August if you want good beach weather if you guys decide to go back. But for a nice vacation spot within Canada, that's not crazy expensive, PEI is the place to go imo. It's nice to be able to enjoy white sand and dunes in the north, and regular red sand everywhere else.
Ahhh Dooly's lol, used to go there when I was younger, there's a big empty building to the left of it, that was a club called Myrons, what a shit show that place was when it was open.
Knew you would enjoy the food, like I said it's pretty hard to not have a good meal there. Yeahhhhh I can understand the not digging tearing apart a lobster, not for everyone, bit of work as well but I like doing it. It's like that just about everywhere if you go for a full lobster meal though. New Glasgows food is just so good, always leave hella stuffed.
Did you guys get the small town feel? Might have been different for you guys since I'll be hanging in random small towns with friends/family.
Not sure if you guys went to Fort Amherst, not that there's much to see/do but that area is where I grew up, in Rocky Point. 5-10 min drive outside of Cornwall.

Definitely got the small town vibe. We noticed that everyone there is just so much nicer that Alberta. Same in Nova Scotia. It's hard to get used to at first because you just assume they want something in return, but they don't. We want to go back. I would take my bike and ride the Confederation trail all over the island. Summer would be ideal but neither of us will be getting prime time holidays for at least 10 years with our jobs. The seniority ladder is a steep climb.
It's funny though, we were in both areas when a ton of Cruise ships were going through. A lot of the times it was us mixed in with a bus load of retirees doing a lot of the same stuff. We got a few odd looks.
Pretty sure I gained 15lbs with all the lobster rolls I ate. If it was on the menu, I got it. And they are all different.
We got pretty lucky with a lot of things though. All the seasonal stuff was starting to close down or had a week left. Worked out though, we got cheap accommodations all over.

lol yeah, everyone is nice and wants to chat your ear off.
Shitty you won't be able to hit it up during prime season, but like you said you can get good deals on accommodations and even clothing/souvenirs.
Definitely don't care for PST/HST though, but who knows, with the future of Alberta's taxes going through the roof maybe it won't even matter in comparison.
Will be in Edmonton next weekend to hit up the Kanye concert, will be cool to check out the new arena, but i'll be booing anything Oilers I see....boooo...booooo....

Nice! I'm looking forward to my first visit there too. Should be neat to see. Only way I'll get there is Oil Kings tickets though.

I've been looking on kijiji the past week for opening night tickets here and everything is literally double the cost of face value, which is straight laughable. Shitty second bowl seats for ~$140 or even press level going for ~$100-110. I'll assume prices will be normal as the season goes on, hopefully.

Flames will make the playoffs this year.
Every year the oilers should get better, but they don't. To which I'm more than ok with but this year they should actually be better....should be.... Canucks will be mediocre.

As long as Detroit keeps making the playoffs, I'm happy. Now that they are in the East, it's even harder to watch the games though.

Yeahhhhh Auston will most likely be a star, rest of the young supporting cast should pan out well. Leafs should be decent in a couple seasons.
Flames are a garbage fire right now, new coach, new system, our top line had one day of practice together before the season started, so go figure the Flames are trash. Need to wait for things to start clicking.

I wish I was 30 again. I'm almost 40 now. Yikes! 3 more years. I have a buddy with a kid that's graduating in June. I can't have more than 3 beers or it's hangover city.

What/where is LMD? Edmonton, lul. Can't attest to Ottawa. St. John's...woo indeed lol.
I'm looking to settle down in a years time, see if I stay in Calgary, perhaps move to PEI for being able to buy a mansion for the same money a basic house gets you here. Or possibly see if I can get my work to get me a US work visa and peace out to somewhere warm.

I just got back from a week at the in-laws retirement trailer park in Yuma. I love/hate how cheap alcohol is in the US. A 6-pack of Rolling Rock was 4.99. Even the wife found cheap beer. A 6-pack of Gluten-Free beer was $8 at Walmart. The same beer here is $23.99/6.

Yeah you can literally afford to be an alcoholic in the states no problem. Sucks that any decent craft/imported 6 packs here are upwards of 20 bucks.
$24 for a 24 pack of yummy Kona brewing beers at the costco in Hawaii when I was there last month. Or the giant bottle of costco spiced rum was $19 while it's like $60 here lol

After I'm done the 2nd in command in my team messages me on instant messenger and gives me a link to a news article that shows the guy I mentioned just killed his wife and committed suicide a couple days ago. Guess I won't be reaching out to him

I walk 15 feet to my garage, then 20 feet to the door at work. I bitch because I'm old and always chilled.
Also, I did my time working outside when I was in my early 20's. Don't need to do it anymore.

Same job, work from home, boss and HR said I can move anywhere in Canada and keep working from home. Ready to buy a house and for the sake I can work from home, alongside 90% of my family being in PEI, I can get a house there for ~$300k that would cost ~$600k here in Calgary.
There's pros and cons obviously to either staying in Calgary or moving to PEI, but for near and long term goals, moving makes the most sense.

oh I love Calgary but outside of going to Flames games and having a wide range of restaurants available, I don't go nuts with the whole big city lifestyle. Especially working from home, the only time I leave the house is to go to the gym which is like not even a 5 minute drive.
I think once I adjust to living in the slower paced lifestyle, it could be really nice. PEI is pretty boss during summer. Winters can be brutal if they get a ton of snow, but not as much -30 or colder weather like we get here. Being able to go to the beach all the time during summer will be pretty awesome.

Yeah, the only pro to staying in Calgary is the mountains being nice and close. But if you can work from home anywhere in Canada, I would move to PEI too. Are you going to live in Charlottetown or somewhere outside of there? I spent 4.5 days there in September, so I pretty much know the whole island.

We're looking at a house in Stratford, which is that town just east of Charlottetown you take the small bridge over to. But we'll see what plays out, looking to stay within queens county which is the center area of the island, and try to stay within a 15-20 minute drive to Charlottetown.
We looked around van island which is luring for the weather but housing costs there are pretty high. Hard to argue PEI for me when it comes to cost of living and most of my family being there.

Quality of life is probably quite a bit better too. It helps that people on the island are really friendly too. Whereas here, not so much.

Out in the country, well countryish, it's only under 10 mins from Cornwall and under 20 to Charlottetown. My sisters house is a 3 minute drive away and parents under 10 mins away.
https://www.realtor.ca/Residential/Singl...A1H6-Rice-Point
Beautiful house with over 2 acres of land and a bit of a sea view, too hard to pass up. Pictures don't even do it justice, doesn't show the den, mud room, proper pics of the bedrooms. Just got brand new hardwood floors throughout the entire house so the flooring in the pics isn't accurate now.

Yup. I've seen it locally in Edmonton. Save your money and go to Cuba and buy it there. It's $50+ a bottle here.

Aeroplan points are fucking useless. Seems like your only option is to use them when you give zero fucks on which days you want to fly.
We're going to Van island in July for the gf's family reunion and aeroplan is like, you can only fly out on one day of the week you're wanting to go, and it's a day I don't want to fly on.
I have a feeling I'm going to burn these points up on random trips to Calgary after I move and just ditch my aero gold visa and move to the Amex travel card I have which lets you book through any airline and claim points against whatever you book. You don't earn as much points wise as aeroplan, but at least you can actually book what you want and get a discount.

lucky lucky, packing has been a pain, mixed with getting rid of random old junk, it's basically super spring cleaning as we're getting rid of a bunch of old shit that isn't worth moving across country. So it's good in that aspect I suppose.

Remember meeeeeeee Brutal. Waited over 3 hours for the tire guy to show up, we were in the middle of nowhere northern Ontario.
He gets the tire off and the entire brake assembly falls to the ground in bits and pieces. Something went wrong, brake got stuck engaged, shoe melted to the rim, everything got super hot a went kaboom. Solid six hours wasted.
Driving across Canada with 3 working brakes and the trailer is making a clanging sound when I drive now.
In conclusion, fuck uhaul.

Lately I've been wrestling with the thoughts of selling the WRX and buying a truck. It would most likely be a Honda Ridgeline because they are hot sex. Just for the ease of doing yard disposal and taking the bikes out for remote riding. My main issue is that I love driving manual, & having a sporty car. I'm also not keen on having a car payment, but traveling would be so much more comfortable too. The wife will be up for a new vehicle soon as well which doesn't help either. Her Forester has 1 foot in the grave already. She was supposed to buy last year, but kept putting it off and now we're into replacement mode for me. 2 payments would be absolutely ridiculous.

what dat humidity do
Been over a week here now but still doesn't feel real yet. Overall good so far though, never ending stuff to do right now around the house/yard. Living in the country is pretty sweet though, very glad we bought where we did. Took a drive past the other house we looked at in Stratford and so glad we didn't like it...although I would have been able to get good internet there....the struggle of getting decent internet in a rural area is real.

There was some British car show in Radium on Saturday too. I had no idea until I was on the way back through and followed two dudes in a Caterham7 (the same green one seen in the link below) for a while, then saw a handful of MGs and Triumphs lingering around.

Moof needs to check in more often. I was right in his backyard today. Ditto. Spent Saturday in Fairmont on the way home from Nelson. I forgot to ask Moof for his new cell# before we left. He could have come for a soak in the hot springs. Lussier > Fairmont
Most likely. Fairmont is bottom rung for sure. We hit up the Ainsworth Hot Springs by Kaslo are pretty amazing.

I know someone here went to Cayo Coco for a trip, I'm thinking Lost? Where did you stay and how was it compared to Varadero (if you've been there as well). We're going in November most likely.

Cayo Largo will most likely be more expensive but it's a really nice spot, if you're looking for less people/kids and a really chill spot then I highly recommend it. Can post pics or you can check out some pics I posted on facebook however long ago, there should be a few albums. I've met up with AMG SiR from on here twice down there, he was the one who recommended the place to me.
Only other tropical spots I've been to are Hawaii and Jamaica. And backpacked around central america long ago but that's different.
Are you only looking at Cuba? I do like Cuba personally, didn't care much for Jamaica.

I want to go back to Kauai in Jan/Feb next year. There's a flight deal from PEI to Kauai for $650 return but it's only for end of Nov/start of December, which is stupid cheap.
Hoping in a few months similar prices are available for when we want to go.

Confederation bridge bruhhhh
It's just 50 bucks to get off the island over it
Should be free for residents imo but of course nothings free.
If you're going to Vic you can take a super fast boat/ferry that drops you off right in Vic harbour. Otherwise there's the actual ferry which you want to reserve in advance if you can, if you're taking a vehicle anyway, otherwise there's the walk on which is pretty cheap but will need a ride once you get off.

yeah if you're coming from Vic it's the only way, runs 18 bucks per person for walk on ticket cost and the ride is about 1.5 hours, an hour 45 at the most. Otherwise you'd have to go up to Nanaimo and catch a ferry there but that's a bit of a drive.
Or there's the new V2V ride on the empress which takes you from downtown vic to vancouver but it's pricier starting at $129 a person and takes like 3.5 hours. google it for more details, V2V empress is the boat.
Not sure about how to get to downtown Van from there as I haven't had to deal with that without having a car.

After 3 years, my old condo has finally sold. Huge loss, but there are no fucks given. Best $80k I'll ever spend. We would have lost more than that in the time it would take to pay it off. I've never felt so emotionally relieved and drained at the same time.

Yeah. The condo market is brutal. When we re-upped the sale contract there were over 1500 condos for sale in Edmonton. It's been a great few days. I can't stop smiling.

Werd. I was in Fairmont for a wedding all weekend. It feels like I smoked 10 packs of smokes. I can't imagine how everyone that lives there feels.

She's nice but 10 days is too long, hard to juggle entertaining someone while you have to work and find things to do for a 75 year old.

Only 38. Some morning I feel 50 though.
We are getting snow as I type this west of the city. It snowed most of yesterday though. Nothing sticking yet. It's supposed to be nice next week though. 13-18 degrees and sunny all week.

Not bad not bad, it's been lingering around 20 here for a while now but it's turning into fall pretty quick, leaves are starting to change.
Got some wood to chop...

Oh shit. That has bad memories from my childhood written all over it. We had a wood stove when I was growing up. Twice a year my Dad would wake me up @ 5am on a Saturday/Sunday and we would drive to my Uncles and split enough wood to fill a grain truck, bring it home and stack it for the winter.

hahaha yeah on par with my childhood, would spend a chunk of every summer piling wood in my parents barn as all we had was a wood stove for winters.
We got an oil furnace, heat pump and a wood boiler along with a small wood stove on the main floor. got 5 cord of soft wood and 3 hard, wood won't be our main source but still wanted some for general use and in case the power goes out for any extended amount of time...as it tends to do here.
Put a good chunk in her, just gotta start splitting and piling....woooo....

It's not so bad, gives you something to do. I got my dads splitter so you just gotta put the chunk of wood on it and pull a level to have the splitter push through, way better than splitting it all by axe...

oh yeah we're using a chainsaw for blocking it then using the splitter. It's a bit of work but not too bad really.
When you guys come to visit I'll make sure to have my wood ordered so we can do it together

Lucky! A splitter would have been awesome. I was the axe man while my dad used the chainsaw.
Of course back when I was a teen I don't think splitters were around.

No they shouldn't. It's forced Old Man Boulet to limit himself to 4 beer or 6 rums when drinking.
New Years was rough this year. Drank too much and was feeling not well for almost a week. Old age is the worst.

Lol my reaction is the same. I'll never live there; we will most likely end up buying in Stonewall or Bousejour and commute the 20k. Stonewall is at the top of the list for sure.
So why would we go here? WELL...
Winnipeg is 15 minutes away (airport, Costco, IKEA, auto services, etc) Cheap everything (houses, property tax, insurance, food) The interlake area is beautiful 25 minutes from Grand Beach where i can help take care of my aging relatives (both over 70) Unparalleled fishing Hunting isn't too bad either Big plots of land (riding mower!)
~Work reasons Short staffed; unlimited overtime Better chance of promotion for both of us Better chance of getting into specific sections (surveillance, Warrant Task Force, relief) Slower pace; more time for proactive projects Not having to live in a town we police
In the grand scheme of things, it's a stepping stone on the eventual path to Ottawa.

Doesn't feel like it's almost mid December. This year fucking flew by, way too fast, lots of shit went down so that'll do 'er.
Looking forward to the week of Christmas being quiet for work, didn't book any extra time off but just about everyone else on my team did so it'll be a ghost town...aka everyone will be offline and I won't be doing any work.

Looks like I'll get a nice dose of -15 - -20 degree weather while I'm out west, lame sauce. Been a mild winter here so far on the isle of potatoes. Have seen more grass than snow.

That's pretty toasty, good you got some nice temps for those days. I'd love a break from winter.
Instead I'm heading to colder weather. Well that is if I ever get off the island. Show up for my 6am flight and the plane won't start so got to send an hour waiting to be rebooked, have to spend 5 hours in Toronto now instead of 1. Air Canada is the best.

I think this is the nail in the coffin for them for me. I travel pretty frequently and always fucked up delays, terrible customer service, this is the 4th time they've lost my bag.
They still haven't located it, we called the Charlottetown airport and they confirmed it went out so it's MIA in Toronto. Hope I get it back, has one of my flames jerseys, my sunglasses, a LTE cell modem and few other valuable items inside it

Head up to GP to see my parents. Hopefully get some downhill biking in at the ski hill. It's been over a month since my bikes have seen any riding. Stupid smoke.

That's better mileage than my WRX on the highway. I'm averaging around 9.3 on the highway and 11-11.5 in the city.
That is a really nice looking truck.

It's too up and down for my liking. If it would just stay in the -10 to -15 range it would be ideal. With some snow sprinkled in there every 4-5 days.

The rain has absolutely killed my summer. I haven't been on my mountain bike in town since June? All the trails are super muddy. I've traveled for biking, but it's nice to just get on and go out the back door. Other than that, my lawn has never looked better.
I went to Kelowna and Waterton for a couple of weeks in June. It was nice. Spent way too much on wine in Kelowna. The weather was good. >30 every day. I'm missing it now.
How about you?

Sadly no, the selling experience has been pretty terrible which is due to a mix of PEI's real estate market being in a terrible spot but more so having a terrible realtor. So terrible to the extreme haha.
Threatened to give our realtor the boot, which is most likely still going to happen but we've had like 7 showings in the past week so really hoping that someone bites as we want to gtfo ASAP.
Although Alberta getting snow this weekend is something I don't want....but 'berta weather gon' berta

Thanks, was hoping to start the drive west today but packing and cleaning took too long so we're headed out early tomorrow morning.
Should be a fun drive

Been back in the mother land for just over a week now and feelsgoodman
The drive fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucking sucked, to the fucking nines.
Snow storm rolled through Quebec so we left a day late, then we only made it to Edmundston on our first day of driving, should have only taken 5 hours or so to get there but it took 8...rain turned to freezing rain for 2 hours, the roads were insane-o bad, then turned to heavy snow covered roads as the edge of the storm was rolling through this area.
Just sketchy as fuck driving in general let alone with a 3000 lb trailer on the back of my truck. Once we made it into Quebec the next day the roads were pretty good, made it to North Bay, ON that day.
From North Bay onwards was probably just as bad if not worse than our first day, northern Ontario is hilly/mountain driving non stop, just heavy up and down steep declines which again with a trailer giving you extra weight flying down a 7 degree decline is pretty awesome. Toss in curves, truckers who don't give a fuck about you and will drive like maniacs up or downhill, needing to be in 4x4 most of the time and then some night time driving, it was fucked lol.
These were the roads for that day - https://i.imgur.com/XAk1RJm.jpg?1
We made it to Wawa and called it a night as night time driving made everything worse and if anything went wrong, you'd be fucked.
From Wawa it was bad for 1-2 hours up until around Thunder Bay and then the roads were great, actually dry and could actually do the speed limit or 10 over. Made it to Winnipeg that day.
Last day we thought we'd be in the clear as the roads were supposed to be good...que highway 1 being a parking lot for hours black ice around Portage la Prairie caused a ton of accidents, I counted 13 semi's in the ditches, all smashed up, loads everywhere, 1 trucks cab was like 50 feet ahead of the truck itself...I don't think the driver lived. We sat on highway 1 for 2 hours before they let us through. I have no clue how the roads got that bad, not sure why no one was out salting.
From there onwards it was pretty easy driving, flat, boring but welcomed as most of the trip was white knuckle driving.
In conclusion, never drive across Canada during winter.
Feels great to be back in Alberta though, only been a short time and somewhat surreal as we have to keep in mind we aren't going back to PEI. Just feels good to be back in civilization.
Have a house lined up here, just finalizing the financing/home inspection this week and should be good to go, just gotta wait til closing.

Glad to have you back! Shitty time of year to be moving though. That highway pic was very reminiscent of driving from Hinton to Grande Prairie through Grande Cache. With the same type of driver too. Hope the house works out for you! Whereabouts in Calgary are you?
There is a new Gluten Free brewery in Calgary now. I know this doesn't appeal because gluten free, but the beer is excellent. They have a nice little tap room in NE Calgary. It's called Heathen. It's all Viking based names of beer. Their sour is divine.

Also, depending on how you vote, the province is either in disarray or doing fantastic.

Thanks guys, very happy to be back...and will be staying here lol.
We bought in Chaparral so SE, just off 22x. Was ideally looking to move back to Shawnessy but couldn't find a home that ticked all the boxes for what we were looking for.
Gluten free beer eh? I'm not about GF at all but I do loves me beer so I'll check it out if I'm around or find it in store. It's actually nuts how many microbreweries have popped up since we moved east, like a crazy amount in less than 3 years.
Yeahhhhhh I read the posts on beyond.ca and the Calgary subreddit, I'm quite content to be back in the land of Conservatives. Apparently most folks can't comprehend a different elected party slashing the former parties policies and budgets haha.
PEI is extremely liberal and backwards, talking to people about politics I would just have to bite my tongue and scream in my head lol.
Economy is pretty blah here but that helped us out with buying a new home, and both the womans and my job are safe thankfully so we're just carrying on as normal.

Not much happening here. I was one of the lucky "Essential Workers" that got to keep working so that's a positive. My house is for sale, but so far no takers. 2 bedroom homes are not in high demand or in demand at all.

Damn. That sucks. Honestly though, I hope they don't find your truck so it gets payed out. My dad's truck got stolen and they found it, but it took forever for insurance to fix it and get it back to him. It still doesn't run the same, and it smells so bad in the cab.
