Far Too Wet

The weathing in little Edmonton has been somewhat amiss lately. It is mid-August, which is usually the hottest time of year in our fair city. This last week it was frigid and raining. Have I ever mentioned that I work outside?

Three straight days of being soaked to the bone is not the definition of fun. Although I discovered two things:

1. If you simply resign yourself to the idea that you can't avoid working all day in the cold and rain, then it really isn't that bad. Choose to not complain and just get the work done and one finds that the day goes by rather quickly and much less painfully.

2. The best motivator for fast, hard work is cold, bad weather.

Yesterday we knocked off a huge contract in by 3:00 in the afternoon. It was bid to take about a day and a half. Today we finished another large contract that was bid for one day by.... 1:00pm!! We were flying.

So I'm home now. I took an extra long, hot shower and then proceeded to get some stuff done for the trip to Idaho tomorrow. Jon and I head off bright and early to make it to the church for the rehersal dinner, although we are expecting to get there hopefully by 7:00pm. It's a somewhat long drive. Saturday is the big wedding for Katieann and Josh, Sunday we have a breakfast deal for the family and guests who have come from different sides of the globe and then Jon and I drive back home.

I get to rest a bit on Monday and then on Teusday I'm back in the truck and drive down to Taber in Alberta for a week of.... of... something? I don't exactly know what I'm going to do. What I do know is that I'm going to extend the Kingdom of God in Taber and work with some good friends down there in doing it. I'm always up for shaking a city for Christ.

Interesting tib-bits about Taber is that they have really good corn, they have legendary fried chicken from this 7-11 that EVERYONE talks about and it is also basically the mecca for Mormons in Canada. Freaky. Corn, Chicken and Mormons. What better foundations are there? haha...

Who knows if I will be able to update this weekend. Jon and I are staying with two people we've never met in our lives, so maybe they have a computer. If not, just re-read this over and over again and pretend it is captivating.

And by the way, did anyone notice the freaky comment that someone left on the last blog entry? I deleted it, but in case you missed it basically it was a 6 page advertisement for some stocks. That's odd... although not nearly as odd as the random ones that Kristy-anne gets!

And Seth, I'm trying to leave you comments, but my password never works anymore. I even got a new one and that won't work either. Just to let you know, I have wanted to go to Moravian Falls for years now... so you can count on me coming to visit you. We must put this plan to work!

Have a marvellous weekend all. Stay dry!
