Found this on my road trip

I dislike energy drinks but this was damn good. Brought some home.



Field work

On my weekend trip to southern Saskatchewan the fields were busy with combines, tractors, and trucks. This was the only one I saw parked. Most of the equipment being used is green as in John Deere, next is red which is Case, not a lot of Lexion. John Deere is seen far more than anything else.

Road trip notes

Took last Friday off and ventured into southern Saskatchewan. The powers that be likely want to restrict our freedom again so I thought I would squeeze in a trip.


Got back home Sunday night. Labour Day Monday is bound to be a busy day on the roads so I planned to be home a day early. Tried to reply to some comments on the blog on the weekend and for some reason I was not able to. I did not travel with a laptop, usually just a tablet. Not sure what the problem was. Hotel internet is usually not the greatest.

I was gifted with a nice concentric circle on my windshield from a truck that passed in the opposite direction. I discovered my camera has a crack on the inner lens. In my hotel in Moose Jaw the plug ins in the bathroom dis not work and I was woken up at about four thirty in the morning by a high pitched sound from the fridge. Other than that it was a good trip with great weather.

Upsala - Not in Sweden

 

On a recent loooong drive between Winnipeg and Toronto, I noted an abandoned church in Upsala, Ontario. On our way back, I stopped briefly to take a long distance photo of the church.

I believe this is/was a Catholic church.

Upsala is a well known city and region in Sweden. Upsala, Ontario wasn't settled by Swedes but by 1900 there was a strong Swedish influence in the town and many Scandinavians lived in and around the town.
