Calgary, now that brings me back to my younger years!  Spent time there when I was younger, and absolutely loved it there!  I'd live almost anywhere in BC, Alberta, or Newfoundland in a heartbeat!

Thanks MoonDawg... we're in Calgary.... with the minus 22c last night, I think I'd prefer California...

(Thanks halehouse)

-22c = -7 F  Cold anyway you look at it =)

Kilroy's right...or you could just sum it up by saying...

"colder than a mother in law's kiss"

....and at the risk of hijacking my own thread (again)... I dug this out of the crawl space today.... it hasn't seen the light in 10 years.... still in a moving box, a little worse for wear, but I think I can get it looking good again... appears that the left valve took a whack in a move and need straightening...  darn

Nice job so far, Chris!  Lettering looks good! 

As crazy as it sounds, I'd be amiable to the trade (Texas for Alberta)!
