Farewell to Alberta
Farewell to ol' Alberta, you oil soaked dirt
Let your mountains tall and rocky be
For when I am far away by the brimy ocean tanned
Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me?
The sun was setting in the west
The birds were singing on the last few trees
All nature seemed inclined for to rest
But still there was no rest for me
I grieve to leave this money makin' land
I grieve to leave my comrades all
With no parents 'round, whom I held so dear
And no bonny, bonny lassie that I love so well
The Jeep packed up and the tail pipe sings
My wife she calls, I must obey
So farewell, farewell to 'ol Alberta's charm
For it's early in the morning, I'll be far, far away
I have two brothers and they never rest
One lucky he never need drive here
But a poor and simple drafter just like me
Must run far away just to view the pure blue sea
Ok, that's about all the shanty tunes you guys can handle. ;) Anyway, I'm off. Today is my last day of work, and until I'm situated back east, I won't be getting online. Saturday we start driving, and hopefully we'll be there by Friday. So I'll catch you guys on the flipside. :)
Alright man, hopin' you have a safe trip and all...
I remember readin one of your posts awhile back, you and the rest of the family had been apart awhile, due to the move, man, I couldn't handle that...
Anyways take care ;)
Thanks, man. And well, I'm already at the end of that rope. So they'll be my main focus for the next week.
Have a safe trip, dont stop in manitoba too long it has a way of pulling you in and sucking the life out of you :p
Have a safe trip, and don't let those Manitoba roads rattle the fillings out of your teeth.
Don't worry, if the Manitoba roads don't, the Nova Scotia roads will :hick:
I was actually singing the tune while I read that post. :giggle:
Have a safe trip home.
Keep goin south.
Have a safe trip and good luck:D
Safe trip and all that, you know. I sure hope your TC and propane-beast-truck arrive in one piece on the train, heh.
You Canadians have your own separate culture and stuff. It seems so strange that a place not so far away could be so different. Hell, I'm so geographically-uneducated that I can't even picture where all these provinces are. Alls I knows is that there are some big ones way way up north and they don't have many roads but lots of caribou and shiznit...
be safe man, and spend some time with the fam.
good luck.
How about East by Southeast? There's a little bit of south in there. :p
The truck and TC are fine. They showed up without a scratch.
Ok. Picture moving from Montana to Maine, but go a little bit farther on a big peninsula on the coast. From the Rockies to the Atlantic. It took us four days, which is good time. We didn't stop for the night until we got to Thunder Bay.
Those big ones in the north with hardly any roads and lots of caribou are territories. Every province but a few Maritime ones actually border the US. :)
Glad to hear it went ok!
Welcome home ;)
have a safe trip bud
took you a while welcome back.
'tanks. It's good to be home.
I just got back with the truck, and while I was there I gave the TC its first once over since I put it on the truck. Well, it apears my wife's definition of 'without a scratch' is a little different from my own. There was a box full of plants packed beside the rear quarter. There are no dents, that's for sure. But the box scuffed a palm sized portion of paint right down to primer. It was shiznitty paint, but it still sucks to see the car with it. I'll have to put some pennies together so I can get Macco. :bs: (It may even get a clear coat this time :hick: )
And that dented fender on the truck that washiznitting the side of the container, the paint is gone from most of the fender lip, and a few other good patches as well as one on the door.
My old beaters are looking a lot more beaten than the last time I saw them.
I guess that's enough good news for now. :nutkick: (this emote needs another guy kicking him in the head from the right while he's down)
