Thanksgiving & "The Turkey Sale"
Greetings to all you hard working people in the UK... (stifles sniggering)
Anyway on Monday its Thanksgiving holiday so this weekend the annual "Turkey Sale" (no prizes for the name) is being held in Whistler.
Its basically a giant pre-season sale where the resort (and most of the shops in the village) put massive discounts on their stock and try to shift all their old kit (and some of the new 06 stuff as well).
We joined the queue at 8:30 (ready for the 9am doors) and were in time to be given one of 50 discount vouchers worth $5 or if it was one of the "lucky ones" $50-$100.
I wondered the halls and found some good deals.
A Helmet (Protec B2-snow) for $60 and a Thermal Base layer for $20,
Wondered to the till and found out my discount voucher was one of the lucky $50 ones - result :)
Went to a store in the village and bought 2 pairs of goggles (Spy Soldiers - with Orange and Reflective lenses respectivley) for $190. Another monster bargin :)
Tomorrow "Uncle Chris" has invited us to his house for thanksgiving lunch - looking forward to it :) should be nice
With the public holiday on Monday job hunting is postponed until Tuesday. Seen a couple of places to hand my resume to - and there is still loads of time :)
Anyway, enough utter mindless drivel for now

Hard working? I'm just trying to stay awake for most of the day at the moment lol. I'll think about working hard once I've got that part mastered ;)
Sounds like all's well on the far side of the Atlantic, spending plenty of cash ready for snow time! It's looking less and less likely that I'll be able to get out over xmas :( Basically because I want (and they'd rather I took) the week between xmas and new years off work, but that doesn't leave me enough holiday to come out I don't think. I'll keep you posted, since it could very well depend where I'm "sold".
House and pics look great btw. I like the "kitchen" hehe. Good luck with the job hunt! Will check back here soon :)
