thats not.

i shall however in stereotypical expats style completly ignore any cautionary advice and carry on skipping blindly along the yellow brick road until some red neck mistakes me for an elk.

Some interesting points on this post but most of the financial stuff went way over my head!!!!

it dosn't matter, in canada money grows on trees, fountains of honey gush forth from springs deep in the rockies, none of the bears have teeth, all red necks are sensitive deep down and you can by a jet for 50 cents, and thats fully loaded with elk. sexy elk. sexy elk with a glint in their eye for the long lonely winter months ahead.

do you sense that the waiting is making me cynical.

Yesterday, in Canada, a horse "winked" at me (if you know what I mean). I wished it had been an elk.

you lucky dog, if that not a reason to emmigrate i don't know what is. you can keep your trucks and mountains, friendly wildlife with no one around, that what its all about heh heh heh.

The problem is avoiding feeling inadequate. I could mount her, with a big step ladder, but would she notice ?

Hey Bud, you're a fully qualified redneck ...

stick your whole leg in, just be careful to take your shoes and socks off first as they can become unattached.

I guess I should wear a crash helmet, in case she gallops off and I dangle behind her.

I'm sorry I don't have a proper picture of the beast as it seems you would share my appreciation. I'll see what I can do tomorrow, in the meantime here (on the left) is a glimpse of haunch.

difficult to reply with one hand but thanks. i think we should leave it there, i am anticipating a knock on the door anytime now.

I enjoyed this discussion developing, but didn't care for Ocean's comment about Dbd's wife. No need to get personal in a forum discussion.

Really didn't need that image in my head - yuck.

To be fair, I did refer to Ocean living in a "trailer", a term that usually implies a ramshackle single wide rusting gently amid piles of tyres. I expect he prefers "RV" or "mobile home".
