Oshawa, ON ... Where the meteorologists just dont agree with each other !

Hello all !

So I've been working on a ''football/soccer/ mens&womens lacrosse'' field in Oshawa,ON near the great lakes. Oshawa is a nice little city with good restaurants, nice people and one of the biggest recipient of taxpayers money, GMC trucks assembly line. Up here, the weather forecast is always wrong and its a real pain in the ass because at this point of the job, we cant work in the rain as the sand and rubber infill wont penetrate the synthetic grass proprely ! La ville est riche en restaurants ... Des endroits assez surprenants en fait ! Moi et Dominic, notre chef de chantier, avons prit plaisir à découvrir quelque uns d'entre eux. Faut ben se gâter ...

Our best findings:

Oshi Maki Sushi Restaurant: Home to the freashest fish I've ever eaten ! For 15$, I was able to eat red tuna, butterfish, salmon, red snapper and crab tartare ... :) 

The Greek Tycoon: Un gigot d'agneau digne des plus grands restaurants pour une vingtaine de dollars ... 

Nice Bistro: Un petit bistro français où j'ai eu la chance de rencontrer les propriétaires, un couple français qui, il y a deçà quelques dizaines d'années, gérait un petit restaurant à côté de celui de mon grand-père à Québec ... Le monde est petit. Best all you can eat mussels and fries ever !

Anyways, the field is almost done. We need about one more day to finish the job and it won't be today as it is illegal to work on victoria day in Ontario ... Kind of absurd but the 2000$ fine if we do work convinced me to stay at the hôtel today. After, we'll be on the road in Ontario as we have a couple of maintenance to do. Then back to Oshawa to install a indoor field ... We are planning to have 2 team so we can work 24/7 to finish fast and then fly to Winnipeg as fast as possible because we have two fields to install over there. 

Pictures are coming up soon !

P.S.: Btw, I just paid 1500 Euros for the first payments of the place i'll be staying in next fall in France ! Awsome place :) L'école de commerce où j'étudierais à droite et les estudines europole (mon futur chez nous) dans le fond à gauche !
