Today's Froster Conditions

Macs in Cambridge at around 1200 hours:
A little runny, but delicious nevertheless.


That is all... and yes this is an original idea.

If the women don't find you handsome...

So, Faith bought a dishwasher for her birthday a month ago and it's been in our dining room in the box since. That left me with figuring out how to get it installed. So, I called a plumber and booked a couple days off work to get this done.. We had a dishwasher in our last place and had some cupboard space that was prettymuch useless here.
So, thursday I swung by the mall to pick up a day-labourer (AKA Adam Collins) and underwent the task of removing the cupboards and preparing them for a dishwasher. Between the two of us, we did a pretty sweet job of dismantling the existing cupboard and putting it partially back together as shown to leave a space for the dishwasher and a small space for pans/dishrack etc. We also figured that since the plumber wanted the electrical stuff done before they came, that we could play electrician for a bit and consulted my Home Depot DIY book to figure out how to install a breaker and run electrical line.
The electrical stuff was surprisingly easy and quick, the longest part being the trips to home depot and Crappy-Tire for parts, and parts we forgot the first time... Anyways, Mike the plumber came and hooked it up (WOW am I in the wrong career... gouge $$$) and we have a functioning dishwasher... yippee
Now I'm a bit confident with electrical crap... still don't want to touch plumbing. The margin for error with plumbing is very small.

Seven-11

Faith pointed out the other day that friday was to be the glorious day of 7-11-2008, none other than the birth of 7-eleven. On this day they celebrate by giving anyone and everyone a small slurpee for FREE... just turns out that I either completely miss it or, like yesterday, completely forget it... bugger.

Let me know if you made it ( for those of you who still wander to this blog.)

Happy pride Week

This is a post

I am posting on my blog... I used to do this. Then I forgot how to have the time... Take that CANADA.

I know what you did last weekend.

Here's the video that we made for Amanda and Colin Nafziger's wedding reception.

Apparently this was all a mistake...

Ah well. I was looking forward to figuring out how to NARC out other people and get them disabled. It was kinda nice to be off for a bit... aside from almost losing my Scrabulous record.

Facebook Schmacebook!

Apparently I have offended the Facebook 'gods' and they have disabled my account... what am i to do now? It's quite funny. As far as all my friends are concerned, I never existed... I am no longer listed as married to Faith. Worst of all, my 12-3 scrabble record is on the rocks... blast.

Ah well. screw facebook!

just so you know, I noticed that LOST season 3 didn't come out near my birthday. I believe they're playing it like 24 and starting back up in January... just thought I'd let you in on it.

Bats in the belfree?

So,about a month ago, we woke up around 3am to the cats going freaky, running all over, chasing something... turns out it was a bat! Long story short, Faith called the health unit worried about the cats and bats in our house and we end up needing to get rabies shots, all of us. Apparently, one wouldn't know if one had been bitten in one's sleep, so we were all treated as if we'd been bitten by a rabid bat...

LESSON 1. Keep the bat if you catch one.
- they want to test it... preferrably dead.

anyways, we stopped the DR. from leaving early on a friday afternoon so we could get our shots... Silas got one in the thigh and one in the bum, Faith had one in the arm and 3 in the backside, and lucky me got one in the arm and 6 in the ol' rear unit.

LESSON 2. Dr's seem to be better at needles than Nurses.

that was one thing, but we've been back 4 times for a shot in the arm plus one more time this friday. The Dr. gave the first ones, given the tender media he shot into, it went very well. The nurse has given every one since, and they have all hurt... I think he's quicker with the needle than the nurse, but frig, she's got a lot more practice and it sucks every time.

LESSON 3. Rabies Vaccinations cost alot, just not me.

The DR. showed us the bill that came with the vaccines. Apparently to vaccinate 2 1/2 people costs somewhere in the ballpark of $2884.00... thank God I live in Canada...

anyways, take what I've taught you and apply it to your lives in the appropriate manner...
cheers.

Brokeback Sheltie

A co-worker fo mine made this video... very dramatic.

Happy little trees

Anyone else remember this guy on PBS?

Simpsons

love the inuendo...

They've since changed the commercial, but wow... I bet someone got fired because of this.

How to get rid of a pool in 3 hours

The people came today to claim their free pool. Now we just have to figure out what to do with a yard... booyah

Last chance for lub

It's official, the pool has been listed on Facebook and in the Record, so if you want it for free, call me now and get rid of it by the end of the weekend. Those are our terms. Not sure quite how we'll use our extra space in the yard, but there will likely be some hockey played in the winter... booyah

When days are hot....

So, this year, we approached summer with the thought of getting rid of the money pit we call "the pool". After much consideration, we decide to open the pool and see if we can run it without major repair. I just about had it cleaned, the chemicals were balanced... then we went away for a week and return to a non-functioning pump... on the eve of the hottest day yet this year... So, if you know anyone who wants to buy an above ground oval pool with a broken pump, let me know.

What did I tell ya?

Congrats to the Ducks on defeating the stupid Senators. Congrats Kent on your shiny new 2 year contract... Here's a pic of Kent with the cup at Newport beach.

This Just In... Ducks Win the Cup!

Either I just wound up in a crappy tv show and found the 'early edition' or I'm making my predictions for the Stanley Cup Finals. I was 1 for 2 in the semi finals, so that brings me to a sketchy 7 for 14 in the entire playoffs... This is the pivotal prediction, the one that will let me graduate or send me to summer school.

The Ducks are going to flap their way to victory and make it short and sweet. How do I know this? 2 reasons.
1. I know Kent Huskins' brother...
2. There have been a pair of ducks hanging out in my pool.

With those two things in mind, I cannot even imagine a world in which the Senators would win. I've never met a senator's brother and to the best of my knowledge, I have never seen a senator near my pool. So there you have it.

Fishin' with Grandad

Well, I'm in Cochrane for May Run Weekend... that's what they call it here, not May 2-4. Who knew? I took the bus up on Friday night, that'll become relevant in later posts. I left Kitchener by bus at 8:45pm and left toronto at 11:30pm. Faith picked me up at 10am in Matheson (1 hr drive from cochrane, although it was another 1 1/2 hours on bus) and we went to Timmins to get our extra bang for our optimum point buck. When we left Timmins, we were thoroughly exhausted and hoped to have a smoothe trek to Cochrane about 1 hr drive normally... alas, the Highway between cochrane and Timmins was closed due to ICE. It was freezing raining... ugh. We had to backtrack quite a bit... Poor suckers camping this weekend... We saw a moose on the highway on our journey back... stupid stupid animals. They just wander onto the highway then wander off into the wilderness...

Anyways, the weather was a bit nicer Monday and I went fishing with Grandad... We got in the canoe and landed about 6 or 7 pike, ranging about 3lbs - 5 lbs in weight, in about an hour and a half. I got pictures of one, this one turned out particularly cool with the focus etc. Anyways, later. Hope your may run was as runny as mine.
