Hey, we have trees. My yard is surrounded by Caragana hedges as well as dirty old Siberian Elm.
I love Saskatchewan. But when I think of trees, Sask does not come to mind. Sage, Sweet Grass, Timothy, and Wild Roses are what comes to my mind.
Let's be serious here. Caragana hedges and Siberian Elms are NOT trees. A tree is not a tree until the diameter of the trunk is at least 6 ft. Before that, they are just weeds. A decent tree is about 12 ft wide.
The prairies would not be the prairies if it had real trees growing everywhere.
All this said with a humorous glint in my eyes and love.

Big thank you to all the Cowtown folk! Made me feel welcome and treated me like royalty

Cannot ask for a better bunch of guys!
@YYCHM took me to heritage park today, along with his lovely wife
I think I got everyone, if I missed anyone my apologies
Scooting towards Vancouver tomorrow I’m hoping Wednesday I can try to get to the island somehow. As of right now Wednesday is an off day so fingers crossed

@Chicken lights has been nice enough to agree to bring back the mini mill from https://canadianhobbymetalworkers.com/threads/craftex-cx712-mini-mill-airdrie-ab-2000.5340/.
Would I be able to impose on one of the Calgary Crew to perhaps pick up the mini mill for me until @Chicken lights comes through?

It was great to meet @Chicken lights (a.k.a. Dave) -- And it was a rare meetup where the Non-Johns outnumbered the Johns.
@YYCHM made me laugh with his comment that he thought my mystery shaper would be bigger. Made me think about the movie "Road House" w/Patrick Swayze. Everyone kept saying "I'd thought you'd be bigger"
So, I guess I need a 24" G&E shaper to redeem myself......

@Chicken lights how far did you get today?

I swear this truck misses her home out here and breaks down every time she’s out west, like she’s pouting and homesick. She’ll run to PEI and back to the barn without missing a beat. She hits Alberta soil? Folds like a rookie in Vegas playing poker
I don’t blame her, I love/miss Alberta too but at least I can get up in the morning and get ready for work

The year old alternator decided it was no longer a happy passenger
Do they have one in Revelstoke or do you have to wait for one?

Near Abbotsford tonight
My wife and I hit the road early Tuesday morning as we got a call Monday night that a new grandchild was imminent in Kelowna. Baby boy is beautiful and healthy. On the way out, I saw your load (bridge segment) so pulled up next to you to say hi. It wasn't you of course but one of your companions.
