we are in medicine hat on tuesday july 8.  guess what? the rv has broken down again.  hopefully it is just a fan belt problem and we can get going tomorrow by 9am.  we are the gmc dealership parking lot for the night.  the moral is good because we are having milk, cookies and movies every night.  Reg is keeping count.  today he informed us that we are eating half a bag of cookies each everyday.  we were hoping to loose weight and look like lance armstrong but we both have gained weight!  yesterday at the stampede renato won a toy at guess your weight stand.  the guy under-guessed renato's weight by about 10 pounds at 185lbs.  we still have not tackled the 20 lb bag of pancake mix and two gallons of maple syrup.  but the ride is long and we have time to start this later.  tomorrow we leave for swift current.  til next time, brian.+
