This and That Updates

We haven't been posting on here much lately.  Not much happening lately.

Haven't been to the base for a couple weeks now.  Don't feel like it's worth wasting the gas to sit out there getting no trips at all.  The last week we sat out there we ended up with 3 days where we got no trips.  Which meant $60 wasted in gas.

We've also been told by someone who's got a friend that works on base that this friend mentioned that these British soldiers that are here right now are kind of jerks.  Which is the feeling we were starting to get from them before we left for this part of the season.  We're just waiting to see how long they drive that stupid school bus back and forth to Med Hat.  Which they usually quit once it starts snowing good.  Plus then they quit walking down to CANEX as well.

Other than that we've had 1 wedding at the beginning of November from Seven Persons into the Med Hat Lodge and a pub crawl for the Telus Store Staff and the Intersport Staff combined from the mall.  That one was their Christmas party.  We also had the trip from Calgary Airport to Redcliff for Sunshine Greenhouses but I can't remember whether that was end of October or beginning of November.  Sunshine Greenhouses will be a repeat commercial customer bringing immigrants in to work.  Again ones who don't speak English.  Seems to be a niche we've found.  Non-English trips that is!

We've got 2 bookings coming up here on Dec 4 and 5th.  4th is a round trip to Calgary and back for them to go to a Medicine Hat Tigers away game at the Saddledome against the Hitmen.  Then on the 5th we've got the CAPE School teachers again, this time to Lethbridge round trip for another conference.

This break from the base has got us thinking as well.  We're starting to hope for more local trips like these instead of being at the base and dealing with all the crap there.  We wouldn't need as many trips per month to cover the bills either.  We'd still sit at the base inbetween the big trips if we didn't have enough coming in though.  Or if we started getting bored which is usually the case for me being at home.
