Finally...Just another day :)

Last couple days have been interesting to say the least. Sewer was backing up in my bathroom...not a good thing..problem it turns out....after of course the plumbers...the city crews and whomever else happened to be about spent 2 days at it...the problem has gone. The city line was plugging up and cut off the T into my house. Fortunately they got it open or the guy across the street whose yard the sewer pipe runs under would of been shocked. Bro Dented has thankfully recovered the PA equipment that crawled into the bush. Escaping to parts unknown though is his Photo album the grad class gave him :/ Hopefully it turns up.

House cleaning at my usual pace is the game plan for the day. Plumbers and such are about as clean as 2 week old puppies! You can well imagine the state of the basement after they left. Such a pleasant aroma and shit stains all over from the 100' snake..roto rooter..camera they ran in and out of my line in their attempt to find the problem. Only good thing is because the city line was the culprit they get they enormous bill the plumbers will submit. There is half the cost of a new fish tank ..hehehe Time to clean and get supper figured out! Have a good day folks :)

Boo eh!

The epic started out on shakey ground this morning. My riding jacket somehow turned invisible over the winter. :/ Bugs hurt...anything over 100k is ludicrist speed in a t shirt. Lesson learned...keep looking for jacket. Seems strange that I can turn the 3rd bedroom into a haven for purses, shoes, sweaters, pants, etc etc by making it one big walk in closet with all them fancy racks, hangers, shelves etc etc (wife it seems really really likes purses, sweaters, shoes etc etc) but my one riding jacket..gets lost in the shuffle. Don't get me wrong organizing the miriad of purses, shoes, sweaters etc etc was a good thing. I now get a third of a closet to hang my goodies in. Its even in the room I sleep in. Sweetness!! I guessing if I buy a bigger house I just might get some more room for a little while. With all the media today for women to shop though I fear that may just open an entire new can of worms. Take my lumps I suppose.....fight for my little bit of space. You know the routine guys...smile and wave boys..smile and wave :)

Pictures speak louder than words!

Well being I am messing with pictures..I'll link to some photos of the custom bathroom we made for the wife. Apparently women love fancy bathrooms.

So begins another day....

There I sat enjoying a moment of serenity when this funny rumbling sound approaches and stops. I look up and there in front of my house is a city truck and a backhoe....MMMM I wonder if they are here to dig up the neighbours yard for the 5th time in 4 years...We shall wait and see if the key phrase is...sucks being him or sucks being me...I'm not so lucky and never win at anything so chances are great its him who will be the get my front yard dug up winner.

Fish tanks are my adventure of choice for today...I will get the gravel cleaning and water changes done. Moved my new marble sailfin pleco from quarantine into Finneys' (Male Betta) tank. Hopefully he gets the algae all cleaned up in short order!! 9 fish tanks takes lots of maintenance but I shall soon add more..as well as a brine shrimp hatchery...need to move my baby bettas from the hatchery into the grow out tank soon. Little fellas be ripping each others heads off soon. Got mom and dad all ready for another spawn so when we get back from Regina trip i'll let em get at it. Time to have smokey break and get some house cleaning done!

Well I did as much as I felt like doing :P Making schnitzel, broccoli and baked potato for supper...nothing fancy but my schnitzel is good :) Will have to come back after supper and a test ride on the 440. Hope it no dies and leaves me walking :P

Probably just jinxed myself but such is life!

Well I ate my supper and took the praise from the family for a job well done...then it seems the couch magnet in my *$$ came on with a vengance....took all my will power just to avoid sitting down and having a nap...its a genetic thing and I should just accept it but I always been a rebel :P Needless to say I didn't go for a bike ride..hell just avoiding the couch sucked what little energy I had right out of me...perhaps tomorrow will be a good day :P

So I'll just sit and enjoy a good smoke...maybe I can figure out what to do with the rest of my vacation. Get a new epic started :)

Fishing Trip with bro and friends!

Left June 1 From Flin Flon. Proceeded to Elbow lake through the Cranberry Lake Grass River system. Awesome journey! Lots of beer and yuckaflux. Few unmentionables and a relaxing hot boat ride. Sunburn abounded that day. Setup camp Friday evening and went out for short fishing trip to get enough walleye for supper. Returned to camp..cleaned em ..cooked em and ate em. Wonderful feast! The whole weekend went like that with the exception of "Wine Night" that was a whole different animal in itself :P Had a great time..Few minor injuries from fish cleaning...hugging the hot fire place..and last but not least the trip into the boat that caused one individual to stick his bottom teeth out through his bottom lip. had to forgive the leaking and drooling for the last 2 days from him :P Everyone made it home had a great time and came to the conclusion that fishing from a pontoon boat is awesome. " Open the door walleye coming in" was the catch phraze of the weeked! Still got till July 17 off work so will be off travelling again and back to update blog at later date.

Forgot to mention I found a geocache on Chinaman Island. Was an old cracker tin with a notebook, pencil, few bucks in change and other trinkets. Filled out the log book left some things and will check it next year and see if it still remains!

Bike Fixed and ready to go

Rags dropped by today and got the carbs back in the old 440. Wife is now able to learn to ride whenever she desires! Iam contemplating what to do for the next few weeks until we take family trip to Regina. Perhaps a mushroom picking adventure is in order if this rain tonight and tomorrow gets em going. I'll go have a look Wedsnday. Good test run for the bike :)
