Days end, years end

Its the 31st of December and I guess this year only has a few more hours to go.

We have decided to work this new year weekend. The Foreman says most of his guys are from BC anyway and they won't have much to do so they want to work it. makes no difference to me I hadn't planned on doing much myself.

Crazy, my online friend is in the hospital at Edmonton having her first baby, I wish the best for her and I am glad her mother told me. I was worried I would not be able to send anything on the stat holiday, but this worked out well. I sent her an Edible Arrangements bouquet that is made up of a whole lot of fun shaped fruit made to look like flowers all stuffed into a little pink elephant glass piggybank keepsake. I got something similar (not the elephant though) when I was ill this summer, sadly mine was huge and I couldn't eat it fast enough...but the thought was nice.

I have some plans for a major purchase in the next month or so and I am hoping to get a good deal. Feel the time is right to get a new ATV. I am stuck between what I really want and what I actually need. The Can-Am 800 Renegade is what I want, but the price is obnoxious at $13,000...its big and fast, but for my line of work its overkill. The Yamaha Grizzly 700 seems more reasonable to me and I might be able to buy a past model year that is still brand new for less money. I used to be a diehard Honda fan because they are bulletproof and last forever but I am tired of the stiff buckboard style ride.
