Sunday November 10th Café.

[Upt' North]

Evening all, and thanks for the coffee Ray.

We're back from the big city after a night away at a hotel full of hockey kids from elementary school. No idea if they can skate but they certainly know how to yell and run up and down the hotel halls most of the evening! Also got to fulfill the purpose of the trip, taking the new car out for a 45min spin to ensure it is indeed the proper choice. That bit was successful. Since Monday is a holiday here, we'll drive up Tuesday after work to do all the the required paperwork and I'll drive the new car home. For those wondering, went with the black automatic.

Was below freezing this morning when we left but the drive home was all sun, albeit in our faces. Currently it's dark and 6C.

We saw snow on the drive up yesterday, so it's likely a good thing I'll have a car. I did manage to get it transferred yesterday to Thing1 and then we headed out of the city right from the DMV.

Hope all those under the weather are on the mend, and those mended, stay that way.

Obo.

Well done fella.
Thing 1 is a lucky lad.

@Obo
I've just been looking at the model you've bought. Nice. I was looking at the Canucks VW page, it's not a model over here, they don't sell the booted Golf over here anymore or that model designation in the Golf.
From what VW UK would sell you, that is, a 2.0 petrol Golf, they would take as much in £ as you've probably paid in C$. X that deal you got by 1.8 and that's what you'd pay here.
I hate UK car pricing.

Ugh
Reminds me of those kids soccer tournaments we had to really enjoyed.

I thought of y'all today as I drank my Black Rifle... stifle it already, you KNOW that's also a coffee roaster. Thanks, Ray.

Now it's dinner time, Roz is at the gym so I visited my favorite all- day breakfast place called Metro Diner. Amazing meat-lovers omelets with hash browns that make Zone Waffle House turn blue with envy.

Got oil and filter to change it in the Element, but it drizzle all day. Next time.

Remember there's a difference between people with bad ideas, and bad people with ideas.

Yep - I watch and enjoy that same guy!
