Never heard the bilge pumping analogy before. I laughed my self silly! Your coast gaurd roots are seeping through.
Yes I thought Brent's bilge pumping analogy comments harlisious as well. Reminds me of an old Captain High Liner commercial where he asks a young boy "have you ever been to sea Billy". Well no I've not been to sea although I can relate to pumping the bilge with me on water retention pills well over 3 years. Bilge time for me runs 24-7 with my lame knee.
On the flip side Christmas is coming and good old Santa might bring me a potty for under my bed, and a cool night cap for my balding head. LOL

Not if they past a yard sale at some farmers shop? Trailer is probably already full....headed back east to unload.

Nope...just not gonna happen...farmers just dont have yard sales...they've all got $hit from 45 years back in every corner of every building just waiting to be needed for some obscure rebuild/repair....me included
That's it! That's where I get it from! It's because I was born a Saskatchewan farm boy!
Thank you for that insight!

Hey folks!
Tied up at one of Regina’s finest inns
. About 6:45 local. LOL - it’s all good - busy place. Took a bit to dock the rig as the space is pretty tight. Went looking for grub and my son got thrown out of the pub. Crazy Reginian laws - ugh! No body injured just had to leave the pub as I guess “under 18 cannot view a gambling machine from the front”. - I mean, come on, he had already seen Regina ……Go figure - alas, moved to East Side Mario’s for food and grog. Just back to the cabin at 10:30 local.
Will take on supplies around 0645 and then bunker before heading out of town.
ETA car pick up at 2 pm Calgary Local and arrive Chez Rudy 3 pm ish local with Shawn and the C’mitch.
Check point Moose Jaw for @RobinHood
Some pics along the way and will post after Shawn and Cmitch send them over.
2400 Km’s (ish) logged so far !

Cept'in when a "long time on the water swabby" walks up to you and asks if you want to "hot bunk" with him....best find a tarp covered life boat until he looses interest....that tidbit of advise came from a WW 11 vet who spent the entire war as an AA gunner on battleship USS Missouri .

Yar! Here is the bloomin itinerary:
Pump slops and bilges first thing followed by scrubbing the deck, changing the sheets and preparing to get underway. Crew will take on complementary grub in the local mess and report to the MV Brent H for an 0700 departure.
We will bunker just after clearing the dock and making our way out and onto the plotted course for Calgary. Heading due West. Seas are expected to be calm and less than 0.5 metre - there are some navigational warnings posted for choppy waters - road crews need to make repairs with the odd rogue wave that is hazardous to the barge we are pulling.

Ahhhhh Regina "The city that sounds like fun" . @Dusty made me say thatThat phrase was actually coined by Mick Jaggar, not me
Bunker Up... I love these terms.... Keep them coming!
Ok blame poor old lame Dusty apparently I am now the devils side kick amongst other things. LOL
Believe I heard @Brent H toot, toot his horn as they drove by Moose Jaw just above Beaver Scrotum. There's that devil again!
@Brent H, b in Hamilton, raised in Stoney Creek it took me awhile to appreciate the real beauty of the prairies one doesn't view speeding along the Trans-Canada but it's really the people that makes it count.
As you boogie across the prairie landscape you'll find yourself asking "didn't we just pass that farm" a while back.
Pilot's talk, kick the tires, light the fires, check AB's (after burners) off. Just saying!
