Well, its about time I get this ***** up, its been about 5 days since my return from the land of moose, booze, and hockey.. so lets get to it:

I went back up to Canada to see family, friends and get a hold on my grandfathers situation with his heart/diabetes problem. I mention my vacation in a forum post about 2 weeks ago, and that I would be bringing robot along for the ride, but as luck had it whilst I was packing I tucked him away and wasn't able to find him until my last day, and the process of traveling back home. So enjoy the scecery of southern Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Maryland:

Canada is not all flat, only the praires of southern Alberta, Saskatchewan, and some of Manitoba. Wow... you're very... American.
KentsOkay says: Dec 31, 2008. 4:36 AM

Adds to the ignorance and arrogance. ;-)

You're just jealous :P

is it true you guys hide on the border in ambush for illegal immigrants?
KentsOkay says: Jan 27, 2009. 4:28 AM
You are thinking of New Mexico or Arizona...
tech-king says: Jan 28, 2009. 5:02 AM

I went to the U.S. before the security jump (I live in Canada to) and the only thing the guy asked us, besides the typical do you have food questions, was if I was a twin. (My sister was there)
spiffytessa says: Dec 31, 2008. 11:31 AM
Haha. Gotta love those border guards.

He's going to Iran soon!
bumpus (author) says: Jul 12, 2008. 3:10 PM
Really, what will he be doing in Iran?
LinuxH4x0r says: Jul 12, 2008. 3:14 PM
Following me around. I'm going to visit family there.

Not to sterotype, I hope you don't find this offensive or anything, but if I understand right, it's kind of dangerous to travel to the middle east right now...anyway, stay safe! :)
Tobita says: Aug 1, 2008. 3:00 AM
in Saudi Arabia it's not soo dangerous as it is stressful, because in my old school (when i went to school there, before my mom decided to stay in Montreal with her parents) the entrances were guarded by tanks and horribly hidden machine guns and I'm pretty sure that beats the stress of some exam:P
Lithium Rain says: Aug 6, 2008. 9:52 AM
Wow! That would be awful!
LinuxH4x0r says: Aug 1, 2008. 7:38 AM
Yeah, in Iran you see a cop or member of the army or sepah on every street.
LinuxH4x0r says: Jul 12, 2008. 8:27 PM
Actually I feel more threatened in the US! Security here is crazy, especially if you look or have a foreign name. Anyways, Iran is a relatively safe country. Its Afghanistan and Iraq that are dangerous. Thanks (no offense taken)

Cool!

bumpus (author) says: Jul 12, 2008. 3:10 PM

GorillazMiko says: Jul 14, 2008. 5:56 PM
Hahahaha! Nice, but did you post this in the forum topic of Instructables Robot World Traveler or something? +5/5 stars. (added to favorites)

To misquote Noel Coward;

"Very flat, Canada".
bumpus (author) says: Jul 12, 2008. 10:28 AM
hehe, yep, most of Midwestern Canada is like that, not so much in the east though
PhotoshopMan says: Jul 13, 2008. 9:45 AM
Yea, i know. I live in New-Brunswick.
mothflavour2 says: Jul 14, 2008. 1:16 AM
