Pickup Envy

By Gentleman Farmer at 10:27 am on July 23, 2007 | 4 Comments

Living out in the country means that every second “rig” (PEI locals call everything that moves a rig) on the road is a pickup truck.

We are considering buying an old junker to use for occasion pickup-ish necessity that occur out in the country…

Leon at Belfast Automotive has found us a beauty! :-D

It’s a little rough right now, but he says that with a small amount of work, it could be made much more presentable.

Check out the ram hood ornament! It’s worth it, just for that.

Paint + some minor repairs
Estimated total price of inspected truck on the road $1000.

I’ll have to pass by and talk to Leon about it later today to check out a few other things. . .

East Point

By Gentleman Farmer at 1:08 pm on July 2, 2007 | No comments

We drove out to East Point. It is the eastern most tip of The Island.
Here it is: PEI - East Point
There is a lighthouse there, of course: PEI - East Point Lighthouse

We also have a “wind farm” out on that side of the island. There are about ten of these absolutely massive wind turbines in a neat row. There was a very light breeze and they were hardly moving when we first arrived. After a short while they all stopped completely, therefore we were not able to truly experience what it must be like to live right under these monstrosities.

Hill found out today that she is not with foal. :-(

She’s tolerated another ultrasound… She is starting her next cycle and will be ready to try again Wednesday morning.
