If you guys are counting on me being here for early Sept., don't...I'm on the clock right now with my visa papers submitted (can't leave U.S. soil), once I get an answer I have to head back home. Probably be back once, maybe twice...before we want to be here 'Full' time by Nov. I don't want to make any absolute definate plans, or it'll for sure jinx my cause...

Well...Got word from U.S. Immigration the other day I have been accepted . Haven't been on my laptop at all till now to let you all know. I still have to stick around until sometime next week for my 'Hard copy' paperwork to arrive before I head back to Canada. I'm right in the middle of a big concrete job at my house in PHX anyways I want to see through. So, another step closer...

Congrats. Do Claudein and Cienna get to stay too????? Just askin' 'cause they are kinda' shady characters.

Warm enough for ya down there buddy? Bet you've put more miles on the '90 since you been down there than in the last couple years. Enjoy.

Oh' ya'...They'll be coming...But...We have to get married!! She can come down under my work visa no problem so long as we're married (we've been together for 20+ years), U.S. doesn't acknowledge common law...apparently. So we need to do that & get her passport changed over to my name etc.,...

It's warm enough, no complaints about that.

I've easily put 4x's the miles on my 90 Zee compared to what I've ever put on back home since I've owned it (July 2006). It's my driver down here for now...It know's the way to Lowe's, LOL!

Thanks John...You in for Spokane again this year...?

Holy cow. After 20 years you have to get married?

I doubt I can make Spokane this year as we are waiting on a new grandbaby anytime now, she's due at the beginning of September. I imagine we'll be busy for awhile now. Will you be coming through Boise to get to Spokane now. If so let's at least try to hook up for a quick visit.

That makes sense because we're so moral and everything down here. Yah, right.

Hey Ryan Congrats!!!

It is Doug calling from way back. As you probably new we headed back to Calgary (still friggin' cold) with work etc. Funny thing is my family and I had just spent the first two weeks of August in AZ at Lake Powell. With a young family I have hardly drove my Z over the last 3 years. Sits in the garage and gives me the guilt look...Since I got into this boating thing we are contemplating selling my Z.

Don't really have to but running out of space as I am getting really bad at spoiling the boys with toys.

I think I will post the last Blue '95 #438 on the Registry this weekend...(tears)

Bye the way we get to Lake Powell AZ (many relatives in AZ) every year and maybe someday we'll cross paths again as it would be great to catch up on how you and your young family are doing!! Besides I have a 502 in my boat that someday may warrant some Ryan magic!!!

Again...SERIOUSLY CONGRATS...you are living the dream (my wife Darlene wants to buy in Page AZ...sick of the cold)!!!!

All the best,
Doug & Family
