I've been traveling, and the police tend to get quite hypertensive when they see me driving a 10 tonne, 11 meter motorhome down the highway at 105 kph with a laptop propped between me and the steering wheel! :woohoo:

No imagination, I guess.

Currently preparing for the cross continental trip back to Calgary.

15,300 km so far. Probably exceeding 19,000 km by the time I get back to Calgary. I'm now sleeping in the driving position.

WOW!! That's awesome. I envy you - you work a lot harder, but it's better than a desk job. Rick's T-room is something to drool about. I laughed when I saw the flashlight and spray bottle on one of the shelves - mine is the same and then I realized everyone else's probably are too. And that's a very interesting button spider - beautiful colouring.
