aside from being closer to you though, why would anyone want to move to MB? humid summers, realy cold winters.. no such thing as a good season there.

Steve, Money Sense rated Brandon as #7 of the best cities to live in. I wont say where Kamloops was.. :lol:

it is weird how branden got so high even though they were in the bottom 1/3 for most of the catagories.. but I looked at the weighting of the catagories and a city like kamloops shouldn't even be in that survey. it is skewd towards clustered cities, not spread out ones, in a about 5 of the catagories that are heavily weighted.. also we lose points because we have pretty much the fewest days of rain and amount of rain per year?? whats with that.. and where did they come up with 700mm of rain per year was optimal? optimal for what? :mrgreen: also for statistics they are using 2006 data, whouldent that mean in 2006 that was the best place to live? not 2011.. in the last 2 years kamloops has had a over 50% decrease in crime in all catagories (bucking the BC trend) but that wouldn't be factored in to this survay.

afordable housing. hmmm doing a MLS search there is about a 40K difference between brandon and kamloops on a 3 br 2 bath detached house, but in kamloops your living in the city with the hottest summers in canada and the 5th mildest winter in canada. no mosquitos well there is some but they are like having none compared to alberta or Manatoba, long growing season, I am getting ready to put my garden in soon. was rotatilling today, and the last stuff I take out will be towards the end of october. nice motor bike season, march to begining of november. no trafic to worry about. it takes me 13 min to get down town at night or 14 to 15 min during rush hour :mrgreen:

now there is differences in the type of city I am not from this area at all, I grew up in edmonton for 22 years, then lived in victoria for 20 years. with short stints in halifax. all thoes citys are fairly high on the list and I would pick kamloops over any of them, I originaly wanted to go back to alberta but we compromised and came here. it is a awsome blend of victoria, and edmonton. hot as heck but dry in the summer, very mild in the winter but still get some snow and lots of sun instead of 8 months of cloud and rain. for sports, this place blows away almost any city I have been in, especialy for hockey they have 1/3 the population of victoria but only 1 less arena, summer sports are rampent here.. it is a huge sports town. for recreation, kamloops is becomming as one of the premeir spots for quading, skidooing, ect. there are hiking trails and parks all over and there are to many lakes to visit with in a hour drive of here, but as soon as I win a quad in the draw next month I am going to start trying. head out with the kid and a couple fishing rods for the day. this summer will be 2 years of living here and I am still finding out more good stuff about the area as I meet more people.

when are you comming out Doug?

Steve

hey trust me I would love to live in Kamloops Doug when are we going

Hey,heads up on the 702,I have one and had some major overflow issues with it.when the power goes out and comes back on the thing puts out a wet skim like you wouln't believe.Dont worry though it'l stop when your sump has emptied.And the ball valve leaks from limpets scratching the seal.Mine is now over the sump.

Cool slide show Mike! I especially like the part with the two guys with wood. One of them was even eating some of that there wood. :biggrin:

This is a wicked build Mike, Big congrats man.
Can't wait to see some growth updates.

Hey Mike. It's been a month without new pics. What's the hold-up?

I knew that it would come, when I seen that Lance posted it wasn't going to be a good post

That's what I'm talking about! Those Acans are looking pretty happy.

Very nice Mike, it sure is a PITA taking a FTS of an 8'er isn't it :lol:

Edit: Oh ya almost for got.........it about time you got some new pics for us to see.

Beautiful tank Mike..

You might get a little better color out of those acans if you lowered them, it looks to me like they are getting too much light?

The tank is looking good, great FTS :biggrin:

Hehe. I can imagine what that's like.
My Sailfin and Kole, along with a large Foxface and Angel attack the nori like flies on $hit. Then the Tuskfish rips off huge pieces and then remembers he doesn't like it and spits it out, which the Chromis and Clowns then devour. Meanwhile, the Trigger can't understand why all the hoopla over a bunch of dried weeds. :lol:

tank looks mint mike i gotta say totm material soon eh:) oh by the way it looks like you may have an acan or two in there lol spose i should try one one of these days seems like everyones got one :):)
