Det ar mycket pa jobet nu for vi har fatt in alla vara nya klader till jul. Jag jobbade till 02:00 i gar kvall.
Vi maste fa ut alla klader mellan stangning sondag och oppning mandag.
Jag tankte att jag skulle ta lite bilder pa min affar men det blev lite sent.....
Jag ar ledig idag och jag tror att jag ska aka och kopa ett nytt dun tacke, det ar lite kallt har och vi har bara ett gammalt tacke som vi kopte pa IKEA's fynd avdelning i Toronto.
Jag funderar ocksa pa att gora en rabarber paj for jag hittade rabarber i frysen .....

End of trip
The Story of the trip is to long and upsetting to put in writing. but here are some pictures from the end of the trip.
This is what we came home to 10cm of snow..... The last 2 hours of the trip was Snow storm.
Good thing I bought the winter tires ........
Natural hot springs in the Colorado Mountains. +45C in the water.....
Very, very nice. Especially when it is freezing rain coming down from above.
After the storm nice but not the same wow factor......
4 corners (Colorado, New mexico, Arizona and Utah)
Shauna looking very pretty.
Dolores River Brewery Rye Indi Pale ale on Cask..... It's is the best beer in the world (as per my own deffinition of drinking alot of beer all over the world)
Hmmm, Who knew there was a special beer brewed for me ???
Me Drunk and In a Swedish Brew pub shirt. I know the owner and he is part Swedish.
We met last time I was down in Colorado and this year he special made this Swedish shirt.

New Mexico Trip
Here is a quick one from our drive down to new mexico.
We have a very nice +25 C and there is no humidity at all. Sunshine and not a cloud as far as you can see, which up here ( I think we are 5500 feet above sealevel.)(1700 meters, i think).
The last stretch of the drive we had to drive through something called "Wolf creek pass" and we where up at 10850 feet. (3300 meter, i think). Anyways here are some quick snapps.

Tuesday September 5th
There was an awsome sunset here last night. Winnipeg and the prairies are know for there spectacular sunsets so I thought I would try to capture one here.
We had the first northern lights of the season a couple of nights ago, but I didn't have my camera handy, I will try to get it on picture next time as it also looks amazing.
As per Gurans request here is a picture of the Silver Bullit ! (With the new tires + Head lights)
This is how our street looks like now in the summer, yesterday we had a nice +30C and sunshine

head lights
So, I bought in to this scam of being able to fix your headlights without spending $500 on new ones.
Being blue eyed and Swedish I thought it sounded like a great idea.....
It said on the kit that the head light will be "like new". To be honest I had my doubts.......
But as you can see from the before picture I couldn't really make them worse, right?
BEFORE
AFTER
Well the scam proved to not be a scam and it actually worked.
Cost of headlight kit: $13.49
Cost of beer to be able to use kit: $6.35
Total amount of hours (incl. drinking beer): 2 hours
Savings on not having to buy new headlights: $515.28
Amount left over for September beer budget: $19.48 - $515.28 = $495.80
