I'm surprised Dave. The Canadian Falls, aka Rainbow Falls, is beautiful. There is a wonderful park there too. Now if you only went into the town of Niagara Falls, Ont. I can see where you might call it a tourist trap. What do you expect for the Honeymoon Capital of the World?
Must cut the grass today. The berries on the mountain ash are turning red already. I hope this doesn't mean an early winter.
I took a break from railroading and am building a small boat model. It is not turning out that well since I haven;t done a boat in a long time. So it will be a practice model and not for show. It was cheap anyway.
Maybe I'll have to change the oil and put a new spark plug on the snow blower soon. The HORROR of it all!
Had unexpected company last night for dinner. Family from out of town who called in the late afternoon and informed us they were on their way over for a visit. So what did we do but feed thwm of course. Now we are exhausted. Just can't get up the necessary joy in entertaining any more. does this mean we officially old? I made a quick lasagne and Ceaser salad. We have lots of left-overs for us now. Next time it will be delivered pizza.
Went to pick up wife at work so going down hiway appraoching intersection at 730 pm so sunset is bright. I could make out the iight was yellow and the fullsize pickup 2 cars ahead was stopping for the yellow. I started to brake so no sense of panic. The car infront of me (full of young guys) did not notice the yellow or sense the truck right in front of them was stopping, so I knew this was gonna be interesting. Sure enough, hear the tires squeal, car wiggled, pair of skid marks and smashy smashy. They rear ended the truck. Barely even moved the truck. A few seconds later steam starts venting out the hood of the car. I start to giggle. Light turned green so I had to get in other lane to get around this bender. As I went past, I could see the damage. Truck had a chrome bumper that did not appear to be dented, the car (which was a honda 4 door) had the front end pushed in and the hood all buckled. I then roared with laughter for the next couple of miles to the mall.
And that is why I like driving a pick up truck.
yea, I'm evil. 
You are evil! Came home to brown water I bet. Saw the story on the news this morning.
Things are really slow around here again. I seems all the groups are having trouble getting members to post. I wonder if it has anything to do with the difficulty getting into the community and the new format. It also seems that there are fewer "cottage" sellers out there. It is mostly "stores" now and the real fun (?) of a bidding war is gone. There aren't a lot of real deals here anymore in my opinion. You have to look real hard to find them.
I still buy stuff on ebay because where I live there is no hope of buying anything I want, and even some stores that are selling for list or close is still cheaper than trying to get it from any of the hobby shops in Australia, I have been buying diecast cars recently and paying around $100 US for cars that sell for $300 to $400 here, our dollar has dropped again but not any where near what I would lose trying to shop locally, even buying stuff my wife likes is generally cheaper on ebay and it is delivered to the door, closest shops for her kind of stuff is a 300klm round trip, so $9 delivered for a pair of leggings compared to $30-$40 plus $40 for gas for the same thing, I'll stick to ebay even without the bidding excitement...
