Jon and I are talking about entering a no prep in Aug. Who else is in?

A drag race where they don't prep the track so it's more like a street race

It makes it about driver skill and car prep not glue

It's not about times it's about setup and racing

What's up?
I moved to Red Deer in November, but I still spend every 3rd week in Chestermere for now. I'll be back Thursday to Sunday if anyone wants to get a coffee or beer.

Work shut my segment down due to the oil prices so I asked for a transfer to red deer so I could be closer to home. I like it way better here. New job, new city, more money, better schedule, and way closer to home.

fair enough.
if looking to get a place solo, I'd suggest baby steps;
Start off in a condo or side by side - generally you can get into them cheaper - but be wise like my names-sake, who looked at the area he was buying into - location is of paramount importance when buying into smaller property...

I have heard that one of the biggest problems with our generation is that we need to have it all now...
I like the anti-materialism movement where people are intentional about having less/smaller;
I find I am somewhere inbetween both extremes;
I don't yearn for a larger house/yard/garage ect - I am content.
I hear friends, and even some family who say, "oh you need a bigger X", and just shake my head...
Most of us grew up in 900 square foot houses, got lugged around in midsized/compact cars, and we all fared well...
I was lucky, when I got into the housing market I went in with family - getting approved for a mortgage on two incomes is alot easier than on one.

I'm looking at buying in another 2-3 years. I want to put 20% down so I can avoid CMHC insurance fees.
I'd like a smaller house as it would just be the two of us and some pets for a few years. We don't plan on kids anytime soon, at least 6-7 years for that.

Edson was just a summer thing in 2013, I finished school in 2014 and I went to Grande Prairie for the last two and a half years.

/\ nope
We're stuck in a quagmire of left-leaning governments who see natural resource production as evil - as can be seen by the anti-oil-lobbyist that the current administration hired to oversee natural resources...
and no, I am not making this up.
