Minutes for August 6th
George Doherty hopes to hear from you about Birds’ tourney on August 27th. Call him at 403-239-3696 or on his cell at 403-510-5448
After a week of shattering hail storms and big-gulp rainfall, the only person to mention the weather was … Henry. Obviously, his business depends upon it.
Pinterest came up. I used to pooh, pooh it … but it’s no longer your father’s Oldsmobile. Check it out at Pinterest.com

Brett Bain.
Sean Baylis. Markets are like the weather: unsettled. Apple is blushing red as it experiences a correction. Disney may be a ‘sleeping beauty’. Companies in the biz of water or healthcare look rewarding. (Tho your best bet is to just Phone Sean and let him do what he does.)
Jim Bladon. Ahh, telling isn’t it? Seems his wife went to see Ian and she has hyperacousis. She hears some things too well. Is there a treatment? Yeah, go see Ian. • Jim notes that there is now a direct flight from Penticton to Calgary via Westjet.
Paul Boucher.
Greg Callander .
Ian Campbell. For some people with hyperacousis, a custom made earplug can help as might ‘musician’ earplugs. (Available at your neatest drum shop. While there, you might have to talk a little louder than usual.) Meanwhile, he’s off to California.
Don Davis. Recommends Storms Restaurant in Kamloops. Drink enough and you may find yourself bold enough to take a helicopter tour of Therapy Wines. More sober people are renting a van and appointing a designated driver. Ground transportation makes it so much easier to relieve oneself of excess wine, didn’t you know.
Todd Dean .
George Doherty.
Don Doolan. Experimenting with a Nexus card.
Ken Eades.
Tony Fisher.
Gord Forsyth. Gord is in training for upcoming trip to Europe. He and Heather are going to do it by Rail. Any suggestions, from those who’ve rode the twin steel ribbons of Europe, would be appreciated.
Mel Gibson.
Henry Heuver. Close your eyes and listen when Henry talks and if he doesn’t sound like a farmer, you’re not listening. The recent hail and rain caused him concern but seems his lands escaped the worst of it. Because of the dry period, his hay crop is down a third. Which is unfortunate given the price that hay is fetching. (No, Gord, this has nothing to do with “the fetching young lady in the blue dress”.)
David Hicks.
Bill Hoogstratten.
Dan Kennelly. As slow as business is here, BC seems to be picking up nicely. • For a recent fencepost project, he found Rogers Rentals to be a good bunch to deal with.
Randy Kott.
Keith Kozak. Continues to be amused by the Landlord and Tennant dance. Yes, tenants need only give one month’s notice but landlords must give three. And a fixed term lease means, the term is fixed. • Residentially, sales are down a bit but prices seem stable.
Matt Litke. In this warm weather, hydration becomes a concern. Water intakes of elderly people need to be monitored.
Andy Lockhart. Q: If a Scot tells you to visit an Italian Supermarket, does this mean they have good prices? A: Probably. Andy is impressed w the Italian store on Fairmount Drive SE
J.D. MacDonald. Stoner stories coming down the pipe? JD is hiring and, last week, had two interviewees ask for a week or two delay before taking their drug tests. (How can they be so stupid??)
Michael McLennan.
Ross Mikkelsen. Well, if you are planning some major purchases, you might want to buy sooner than later because of our slipping dollar. Prices are heading upwards. (15 -20%)
Mike Mikkelson. Is liking his Cintas and eMedical customers.
Gerry Parcells.
Bruce Roblin .
Dwayne Vinck.
Bob Wiggins. Suggests you check out the Business in Calgary magazine story about Jeff Bradshaw. Or visit Jeff’s site: inittogether.ca
Chris Wright .
George Roberts. Words work when written well .
