Finally, ballooning season is upon us!. What a better way to do it than having a little balloon festival at my friend Robs House ;)

Info on Rob: He has been a good friend of mine since I was about 9, been flying with him since. He owned a major telecom business which he sold for over 230 million CAD.
With 14 million of that, he built his dream home. It took just over 3 years to complete, just over 14 000 square feet. Indoor pool, elevators, many many bedrooms, 2 full time cooks, maids, groundskeepers, large acrage of land (almost 2000 acres), 45 horses, and a nice little get away :).


Stood up!

Thought so, I am originally from Milton, ON ,so I recognized the terrain and the light when its low cloud and kinda foggy, how's the smog these days? Been to Kelso lately?
