de Motivation

Here's a few twisted motivational posters... I've got the skydiving one at work modified to say "IDIOCY: Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups"

Slurpee Conditions

For Jan 10, 2009:
Location: University and Bridge
Pepsi was in a great state this evening, quite thick, but kept up to the pace of consumption without drying out.  Dr. Pepper was a joke, pure liquid.  Watch out for the Crush Cactus one, as I got a brain freeze whilst sampling it... dangerous stuff.

Polar Express

We made it safely back from the North country today.  After a gruelling 12 hour journey, we came home to a furnace turned off due to dead batteries in the thermostat... Once I got the batteries installed, I noticed the current temperature sitting at a brisk 8.5 degrees celsius.  I don't know how long it had been since the furnace had kicked in, but all the plates and furniture were quite cold to the touch.  We are up to 17.1 now, so it's a bit more bearable. 

We spent the past week in Cochrane in sub zero farenheit temperatures, so it was a bit surprising to come home to a cold house.  Usually a trip like this takes 10 hours, but we needed a few unscheduled stops to calm irate children.  We're getting to be quite familiar with Walmart's stock and prices now.  We've been to the ones in Milton, Huntsville, New Liskeard, Cambridge and Kitchener in the last week.  They're good with kids because of the golden arches inside and lots of room to stretch legs.

anyways, I survived the cold, only got the jeep stuck once, and drove a tractor for the second time in my life.. 
not a bad week.  I won't mention how much weight I gained, because It'll likely be traumatic to look at a scale right now...
