Michelle,

All I had to wait for was my bed so it wasn't such a big thing but it did arrive last week! I also moved my computer desk and a small table (for my bonsai trees) over there!

Now all I need to move is my computer, my television, a small table and my clothes!

Well, depending on how big your TV is, you should have a relatively uncluttered car!

I have to find that movie and watch it again;
I remember thinking it was high adventure and the child catcher dude was a seriously scary character!

It's a 36 inches one but my car shouldn't be that loaded. The biggest problem is that the stuff I need to move now is rather fragile, it's going to be a tough ride...

Good luck with the move and everything Carl.

I think we need some more lovely photos of the scenery on the drive up.

Well they must not talk about me because elderly people give me those "you're way too slow!" when they pass by me!

You've never been in Montreal, have you?

Our roads in general are horrible!

...However, I'll agree with you that highways in the middle of two big towns aren't that bad!

Hey coffeeshop, my sister and her new "best friend" were visiting today;
Here's some pics of her new love!
The "shop's" resident biker dude might appreciate these, (Bill....)

Nice bike Michelle, I take it your sisters new best friend is her boyfriend. Certainly looks like a guy's bike. Not sure what model it is, looks like a Harley.

I got my license last year and got myself a Ducati monster. My mum wasn't pleased. Even my mates say I'm mad. None of them are into bikes.

It's a Suzuki Volusia. A nice bike. My father had one before getting the HD. Congrats to your sister, Michelle. I hope she rides many many safe miles.
Here's my Honda Valkyrie (F6C)

Hey Wes, actually my sister's new best friend is that bike! and its hers! Her hubby has a bike too, I just don't know what make....they have great times riding together.
Your Ducati looks amazing and I thinks its a fast bike, right? At least you could tell your parents about your bike- my Sis has kept her motorcycle a secret from our parents- she's afraid they will just freak! I almost blew it today- we were visiting my dad in the hospital, and I was all excited about the possibility of her taking me for a ride.....well she looked at me, nearly choking on her ice water...and i finally realized what I blabbing about...well thank God my dad is fairly deaf! He did not catch the conversation.....whew!
