on the road again

gary comes into edmonton today and we're off to Red Deer for a weekend of music and beer/rye/gin/russian bombshells. maybe hitting the World of Wheels in calgary; although the bike area isn't as impressive as it could be, i missed the International Bike Show so this will do just fine.
made it home from Vancouver Island without a hitch; just a long layover in Calgary international. it gave me time to catch up on Cycle Canada's latest mag.
missing gramma already; i called her when i got in and had yet another good talk with her.... that's niiice....heh heh. i'm missing the wonderful weather there, the green grass, the crocuses blooming, the company, the atmosphere .... sigh. i have to make it back into the real world sometime soon i guess.
looking at finding a place to rent in Red Deer with a garage, only nothing has come up quite yet. i've got my fingers crossed, and so does my girl i'm moving in with.
mail. wow do i have mail to open. scads of it from the year i've been away. not to mention the filing and sorting to be done at the same time. all my belongings have to be moved because the girl storing them is moving. my bike has to be moved. i need my teeth cleaned. i need my contacts fitted. my negatives have to go back to the camera shop to be redone. they told me 400 exp. film would be best overseas, when in reality 200 exp. film would've been best. a lot of my pictures came out overexposed. i did get them all sorted into albums at gramma's, and i'm not sure i want to do that over again if i get them all developed a second time. such a time consuming process.
i think i'm packing an extra 5 lbs from eating at gramma's. it was to be expected though, with all that good food there! brownies and ginger ice cream ... m'mmmm! kalmata olives. tomato, avacado, and bacon sandwiches. spaghetti. oysters. red snapper. salmon. tuna. YUM!
