September 15 Update


Hi Everyone,

I thought I would show you a more and more common Canadian house hold item. I home water cooler! It has a ice cold water dispencer and a hot water dispencer, for hot tea or cup a noodle. The total cost for the cooler and the water is about 2000 yen per month. We like it! The water is very good and has gone through reverse osmosis. Very convenient!

It is the local ski swap this weekend. People take thier old skis to the organized building and basicly price the ski equipement themslves. It is placed out in order of size. This is for boots and cloths as well. This process is done over 2 evenings. Thursday and Friday. The sale starts Friday night and goes through Saturday. The people that come to buy the skis pay a few dollars to get in to look at the equipement and search through all the equipement. There is alot of very old skis usually, but some newer items. The Kelowna ski club organizes the event. My friend Trevor is the head coach. He is going to look ahead of time for skis for Makaiya.

I will let you know how it goes.

Bye for now!

Doug
