June 1st. 19 Days.

Plenty has been happening in the last couple of weeks here. Mostly it revolves around Project shutdown, of which mine is fairly simple. Since Stonewall is coming back as a Project next year, the shutdown does not involve packing up a lot of the house...merely sanitizing it.

I went horseback riding a couple of times out at the Miracle Ranch, riding a horse named Rattigan the first time around (who was quite amicable) and a horse named Goliath the second time. Goliath was huge, which made me huge, which made me hit some tree branches on the way through the forest. He also liked biting the horse in front of me. Good times!

I went home for a few days to attend a wedding of a good friend and then to a party to see many other good friends! It was a great time in Saskatoon. Throw in a little family here and there, and it was even better.

The Ag Society fair was canceled due to the saturation of their grounds with all the rain we had, so it has been put off until September. Which is a cancellation for me, but not for the next year's program I suppose.

Stoney Mountain Prison was pretty cool too. Quite a bit different than the PA prison. They had a "Lifers" recreational room where you had to be a lifer to get in. It was an interesting social club within the prison.

I am off to the Zoo this weekend, then to a local festival called the Hintz Fest, and on to the Prairie Dog Central - a train ride through a bit of Manitoba.

19 Days. And counting!
