We love General Conference weekend, especially the Saturday Priesthood Session. This years talks were inspiring, and after the conference session, we went to A&W Root Beer for a snack. The snack consisted of gigantic hamburgers, a small mountain of fries, and either chocolate shakes or root beer mugs measured in gallons. Don't let the facial expressions fool you though, we really do love General Conference.
The Sunday Sessions are also really good. We do not get it on TV, so we watch the streaming video on the computer. Of course that way we get to argue over who sits in the computer chair, and inevitably a game of musical chairs breaks out.
After the Sunday afternoon session, we have friends over for dinner. This time Locky brought his parents and we tried a new roll recipe. The "pillow soft" rolls were OK, but the general consensus was to keep the old recipe. The roast beef was good, but not as good a the rousing game of Go Fish after dinner.
Samuel with his game face, and Joseph trying to divine the cards of the other players. Locky lent us his deck of cards so we could play a game after FHE the next night.
We have been looking for a new car recently, and I thought this little gem might be an answer for us. It has excellent sight lines, with no blind spots. I comes in this really great color, so it is easy to spot in the snow, or a crowded parking lot. It does have a few drawbacks though. For example it only seats one, and the mileage is a bit low.
This is the Komatsu version of the Cat 979. These are the largest dump trucks in the world, each capable of carrying a 500,000 pound payload. These trucks are shipped to the oil sands plants on 12 semi truck loads and assembled on site. BTW, these trucks burn about 4000 gallons of fuel in a 10 hour shift.
Hugs and Kisses,
Alan and Michelle
