Farewell to Alberta

Well the time has come. After 8.5 years in the land of beef I have decided that it is time to move on. I will be moving back to NS around the middle of August, driving across this great land of ours with all my possessions in tow, literally. I will be renting a trailer or if I come across one at a good price then I will buy it. The reason I say buy is because this is just a temporary move. I plan to make the trip back in approximately two years. Taking a page from the book of Schmunk, I am going to be going back to school. I am looking at going to NSCC and taking a 1 year welding certificate then coming back out to the richest province in Canada to reap the benefits of all that oil money.

This decision is not one that I have made on the spur of the moment but have had many sleepless nights thinking about it. I want to do something that has some substance to it and come out of it with something that I can use to make a living. The last 8 years here have been some of the best of my life and I will miss AB but as the saying goes, there is no place like home.

With my divorce paperwork slowly coming to an end I have come to realize that over the last 6 years with the ex that, while not all necessarily bad, I have changed and some of the things that have changed I do not like. It's time to go home and regain that parts that were lost and to shed some of the things that were gained. I look forward to seeing all the friends that are back home.

When I get home I will be purchasing a house with my brother Jon. A 3 bedroom house with 3.5 acres of land. It is right next door to my old home in Gilbert's Cove and will be a good addition to the Trask estate. At some point in the future, we will consider buying the house on the other side of my old home if and when it comes up for sale. With this, Jon and I will own about 12-15 acres of waterfront property with 3 houses to call our own. Now that sounds like a good situation to be in. I will miss everyone here in AB but as I said, I will be back and what fun we will have when I land back in the land of beef.

A new vid graces the blog, Tenacious D. For those of you who haven't picked this CD up or found the songs on the net, take my advice and get it/them. While not the best CD to be had it provides some good humor and shows just how talented Jack Black is. Enjoy the vid and until then

Later.

Nothing New

Just on today to get the videos that once graced my blog back up and running. The video while not necessarily a great video but the song rocks and since I can put the video in I am.

Enjoy the vid and let me know what you think or maybe a suggestion for the next vid.
If I can find the code, I'll put it in the blog the next time.

Till then
Later.
