In honour of my brother Zigzagman,sister Agrah a mere stump upon the Pacific coast at the Pacific Rim Provincial Park
a more fitting ode I could not have found:-). It is here that countless visitors from all walks of life have
tipped their heads back, and allowed the mellow taste of their particular quaff to flow pleasingly down
their throats.
That they honour my brothers and sisters in such regal surroundings with the next known landmass of
any substance to be Japan I am sure they have great reverence for the area as
these caps attest that they are here, and not strewn upon the beach
awaiting some frolicking person to heavily trod upon them
whilst not wearing shoes.

Wow I am so sorry it's been I see eons since I last posted ... my apologies for all of you ( totally sarcastic) who daily read, and post replies to my half witted posts.
Since my last post I have been watching my Dad pass on to the next plane in life, and helping the family attend to his dying wishes of which some were done but, not all. We had him cremated in order to put him in several places if only for token reasons but, quite honestly we all couldn't understand why he wanted to be buried with his second wife, and her first husband, I suppose it would have been all right if Dad and him had been friends but to our knowledge they never met, so we put part of him there, and the other part Carey and I are taking out to the West coast to put him with my big brother, Ken,and Dad's sister. There another service will be held for the West coast people.
I wish him Godspeed on his journey, while we were never really close he was a great man and touched so many people in his work. That he was never a good Father to me , is forgiven as he was a great Father to so many other children.
On to other news. We bought our first truck for our new business, pictures in here somewhere hopefully near by. It is a 04 Freightliner, dual stacks, has 12 forward speeds, most important it is an automatic there is NO clutch pedal on this truck... that is strange I want to put my foot on the clutch when we stop and start the truck but it's not there!!! Too Cool!!!. We got a pretty good deal it was through someone's ill fortune that we got such a sweet deal, the person we bought it from was going over the truck and methodically replacing every hose, belt, clamp, and filter. The truck has super singles on the back axles. It only has 302,544 miles on it, which for this type of truck is just broken in. It has a Cat C-12 diesel engine in it, and the Cat company said for what we are going to do with it it is a 1,000,000 mile+ engine. We got a great deal on a reefer box saved ourselves around 6grand on the box, finished pictures of the box will come as we get them for the time being here is the first set.
