Went For A Pootle?

Postby FI Spyder » 03 Nov 2010 00:07

The sun was bright with clouds only on the peripherie and the air was warm (for November). Decided I should go for a pootle (as the Brits say). To justify the time off from renovating the house I turned it into a lumber and electrical supplies run. Who needs a truck when you have a TR7? Anyone else in the northern hemisphere taking advantage of this global warming?[:D] We'll be getting rain in a few days so it'll all even out.

Spiders live in wood piles, not the other way round.[:)]

Just about summer here. [8D]

And some Canadians would chastise me for not shopping at Rona a Canadian company just across the parking lot but I shop where the best deals are and where they have what I want (which is not always easy to find) to make my dollar go farther (not rich enough to make a statement) so I shop at Home Depot, Rona, Canadian Tire, Home Hardware, Wal-Mart which ever has the best price, who has the sale on and what I'm looking for. Being a small town we don't/didn't have
much in the way of selection. Thank goodness we now have all of the big box stores (except Costco) and don't have to go out of town to get what we need like we did a few years ago.[:)]

Just above 0 celcius here in Quebec this morning ....so it's getting a little chilly for top down motoring ...but at least it's nice and sunny out [8D] We actually had snow last Saturday, though it didn't last on the ground for more than 24hrs
(it always has to be nasty for the kids on Halloween right????.....)


I laughed at the pics, as I just did the same trip two weekends ago (but at Rona [}:)] eh! )when I went to get some finishing moulding for the kitchen (though I used the zipper window as my son was with me.....)
-you should have seen the face of the older couple in the mini-van beside we , as they saw us going with the cart towards the seven ....guess they have never seen a convertible with 25 1/4 rounds in it before [:p][:o)]



I've also brought home a 32inch television with the wedge and a passenger....but that required a little more planing [;)][;)][;)][;)]

Did you take a plane to the passenger or the television? :^)

Winter arrived in Anchorage yesterday, with a couple of inches of snow, and drivers who have forgotten how to drive in it. Time to make use of the Jeep's 4-wheel drive. The Wedge is tucked away for the season in Oregon, and now the TR6 is also put away here after a short drive last Saturday. Time for indoor projects.
