Thats 45p. Is that for a gallon…?
Here’s a handy little site.
yep,but like i keep telling ron we are in canada and we are paid by dollars not pounds.
thanks for the website harry,i will look at it later.
here’s something funny, my mum,she thinks where i am moving i will be like little house on the prairie with no bathroom or electricity,i told her we will have to go to the creek to wash ourselves and go to the loo in the woods,and sit with candles at night 
Imagine that, the boys would go nuts without thier xbox and ps2 and tv!!! god love her,she keeps us laughing anyway
just call me laura from now on
mrs rocket 
You mean you won’t have to■■?
The outside loo is great because the kids learn to shut the door when they are in there. (-40 will do that to you!)
Anyway. Announce to the world that the DAWG is back!!!
rocket That dream of electricity will one day be yours. But in the mean time just pretend ,no one will know unless they visit your log cabin in the Rockies.
i am looking forward to reading by the gas lights
No Bob a hole in the ground among the trees now that would be chilly in -40,i will have to get Ron to build a hut around the hole
take care all
mrs rocket
A hut!!!
Now you are getting posh!! Send Ron up to Canadian tire for one of those ice fishing tents. open on one side to ventilate and you can just turn it so you are facing out of the wind!! Makes it easier to move when you redecorate or relocate the washroom.
If you ask Indian Dave nicely he can probably let you have a bucket.
In the old days the wives used to chop down the trees & build a big log cabin while the men went out to work ( At McDonuts )
But this is Manitoba, Harry. Not many trees to spare. They all blow over or explode in the cold!
of course a hut,give ron something to do when he is off and an excuse for him to buy his power tools oops they won’t work no electricity looks like we will have to go to canadian tire for a tent after all better not feed them too many beans then
at least the weather is getting warmer,won’t need the tent for a while just have to watch out for the bears!!!
take care all
mrs rocket
You can still feed them beans. If the smell gets too bad then you can say it’s skunks in the garden…
Power tools■■?
EEEEE! When I got here it was handsaws all the way.
Grizzly Adams for real.
Ahh! the joys of living rough and having to deal with all the nasty wild animals. The call of the wild and the joys of the open air.
Of course, I have to get out of bed to enjoy it!
i love getting out of bed here, there’s plenty of fresh air and open spaces at least when i look out of my window i see fields and not row upon row of roof tops.
we’ll just call you grizzly adams from now on then At this rate we could start our own tv series,you as grizzly adams and us as little house on the prairie
take care all
mrs rocket
A surefire hit I reckon. I’ll let the beard grow, and when mrs BTD gets back she can be the bear. I have to confess that I struggle to see the comparison between Ron and Michael Landon though!!
i can’t say what ron said when he read it i am sure he will let you know when he sees you.
mrs rocket
hello fam rocket, had a word with kindersley, the other day, after sending for a job application, spoke over the internet gave them my details. told them me and the family were in agreement and looked forward to the job,they replied and seemed satisfied,but now there seems not to be happening a lot from their side is that because they are only hiring once a year .
The job they were offering was in saskatoon,with one of their subsidiarys,
of course I have to go to a job interview first,but we has a family are ready to make the move any advice on the next move cheers roy
I expect I can imagine what he said. I suspect it started with the word cheeky…!
I will put a pic of Mr Landon on the desktop in the yard so we can compare Ron to him.!!
I wonder where they got the hill for the kids to run down in the opening credits. Bit too flat where we are for that clip.
Roy. Try another firm if they are holding you up. Kindersley probably would have put you on Edge Transport, which is flatdeck. Try BFS and see what Eric says.
Roy just do what bob said do.
Bob yeah it did start with cheeky!! he may not have as much hair as micheal landon!
we could make our own hill
mrs rocket
I did make one for the nipper but the damned thing melted, and I doubt mr landons hair was all his own.
oh well, we will have to do without a hill.
well folks we will be moving at the weekend but we will have to go onto dial up, 
so it may take a while to get things on here,but we are looking forward to the move,we have beavers in the creek which we are looking forward to seeing and the boys are looking forward to fishing.
take care all
speak soon gotta go and do the rest of my packing
mrs rocket
rocket Did you ever get round to seeing these?
Thanks Harry very nice pics, we have a peacock in our yard.
well gotta go,packing some more boxes onto the truck, off to the new place soon
