Well...if we're bragging on our kids... - my gr 11 boy got the highest marks in his class/school so got the Gold in the Under-Grad awards (I think it was like $50 - used to be more).  Just over 95% overall average.  The little Asian girl said to him on stage (jokingly, but in a competitive jokingly manner) "I'll get you next year!"  (she's really cute & sweet...so it's funny...he got her by 2%).  So following in his brothers footsteps...maybe he'll get the big scholarship next year too.  Just has to keep his grades higher than hers!   

Well done!  Buy that kid a Mustang!

Nice!!!!
So in the farm country school, was there more than 2 children in your sons grade         

Shhh!  don't spoil my parade!  There are 4! Ha!  No...it's more like 20-25+/- a couple either way.  Usually mid-20's.  So yeah, not like he's up against a bunch of rocket scientists in a big school.  He's not even a/the nerd...but hey, if it's a shot at that $40,000...wth...thank god for small schools! 

Well done!  Buy that kid a Mustang! 

He'd prefer a Focus RS.  No idea why...but that's what he likes.  To which the answer is: no.

Spent a couple hours walking downtown and into St. Boniface, taking pics.  Great day for it: 22C with light winds.  Got to say hi to a couple puppies, too.

Looks good, and now, runs good!

Do the headlights need a resto?

They're polished and clear, but are dirty right now as this is the first break from rain we've had in days.

All set then!  Great looking vehicle.  It's what haulers should look like.

Having my wife home after 3 nights in the hospital
It appears to very bad vertigo.
She still in pretty bad shape. But atleast she is home and they think they know what she has.
She was going to Thunder Bay for weekend but was unable to go, the tickets are non refundable

Hope she is better soon AB. Vertigo can sometimes be a pain to get sorted out. I had a friend who was down for nearly a month with it but it did get resolved finally.

On a lighter note, a good friend who is an ENT named his first sailboat "Vertigo" and the dinghy "L'il Dizzy" because he said that's what paid for them.

Forrester looks good John. I think those are the right shape/size...not like the bloated stuff that sells now.

She is  using my walker from my hip replacement to get around, just to make sure she does not fall
The nausea is pretty bad also

I don't think they real know the cause of vertigo
Sometime it is calcium breaking off in your inner ear and than hits the hairs in your ear cause your balance to be off
