Nice to be back after a long, long trip into the atlantic provinces, a burial, seeing family I hadn't seen for many, many years. But some nice long jogging all along Cavendish park and tons of lobster. I can only say "I love home!" :P

Work, summer and cottage are all coming together in symphony, ahhhhhhhh

Oh! I bought a cute little open kayak, took it on a spin out on the lake until a beaver chased me away, just you wait! No, seriously he was cute, just likes to whack his damn tail when you least expect it.

Although the heat is nice, jogging around the lake, even late, equates to just sweating!

Friends passed by, we made use of the new bonfire are, rather cool but I might have just a little too much slope for drainage, I'm just not in the mood for a fight with heavy rocks, thick tree roots. Maybe when it gets a little cooler. Oh and the cute little cedar shingled wood shed is complete! Ya... I'm kinda proud of myself, it's so lovely and battle ready!

Meanwhile that cat says hi in the morning and heads off into the woods where it's cooler to sleep, this morning, he actually dragged me up there, thinking he wanted to take a walk (ya! He meows me on) and once we got to this cool little lookout spot, he just laid down and went to sleep. Don't ask me what the purpose of that was, must be a cat thing. LOL 

Saturday night, miss my friends since I'm taking a hiatus up north at the cottage. The only party is a brown fox, two racoons that work in pairs, and my cat, Mr. Fuzzies who has decided to join the wildlife party! (not his real name and he's not that fuzzy, has short hair). Seriously complains all the way up, but once he's here it's almost like he's saying "Ohhhh, thanks, thanks, OK, later, got another place to explore, establish more territory, catch a few moths...".

Is there some kind of profile generator out there working on this site? Like LamoPorfileMaker v.03ALPHA? I come across these profiles and the English! It pains me to believe that you would think it's comprehensible, write it in your own language! With translation software out there I'm sure more English people would understand!

If they take the time to verify our images, why can't they at least glance at the description and just delete everything that's only 2 incoherent sentences??? Like at some point you have to make a tradeoff with quantity of users vs bare minimum quality of these profiles or else this site becomes a big fat joke!

Oh and the fucking begging for shit like gift cards and tributes, add a button so I can filter out all these beggars and at least see the few real people that I could have a coherent conversation with.

OK, just had to get this off my chest, enough ranting for today.

A week of ups and down, bad news, Apple stopped making the 17" which I really need for my kinda work. But the good news...

I BOUGHT MY FIRST KAYAK! It's so bright yellow, I'd rather stare straight into the sun! My neighbours started to complain, "I scare away all the wild life"... and I haven't even had a chance to take it out yet! No but seriously it's cute! All open on top and has a vodka bottl... ops, I mean a cup holder right smack between my legs! Careful how you sit (he! just a kinky thought about that crossed my mind).

I think I'll name her: "Princess of the Puddles"... not quite "sea" worthy for her size so thought it would be more appropriate.

Arg! So fun when the timing of two clients both want everything done at the same time after 2 or so months of reviewing requirements and making designs! Things in the real wold need "Pause" buttons... can't we make everyone with one???  

Wicked nice weekend at the cottage, and productive at that too, got some sun, stretched out on the porch, jog around the lake, sipping a beer... actually most of it was spent as hard physical work, digging out a large fire pit with extras like large stones (as in to-stupid-to-realize-it's-too-large-to-move-but-risk-my-back-anyways large), a cute scrap wood shelter so the scrap wood stays dry. Also did my planting, not much but got 4 cedars and some herbs for summer cooking.

Thinking of going back to the city is almost a dangerous thought right now!

What a spring so far! Up north at the cottage and it's completely changed me, wow. Suntanning, work, yard work, renovations... I'm not sure I want to go back to the city! At night the cute little stove kicks in, expensive but worth the looks. Then jogging around the lake, was soar as hell since it was my first, but worth the pain. I'm thinking of staying another week and passing up on city night out and dancing for this weekend. A little more of paradise is what I need.

AHHHHHH! OUT OF COFFEE! Must be because of solar flair!!!

Back to the city, funny how snow looks so much cleaner up in the country, while in the city its just grey and slushy, mix into that a bunch of maniacs that can't drive in slippery conditions!

Ahhhh... Cottage time rocks!!! Winter scenes out of all 4 sides and the sun was shining bright and hot... just shovelling was a bitch!

Not sure if I saw the right Hobbit trailer, but it sure talks down to idiots, with a tag line like "Every one knows the legend, but no one knows the beginning"... does the marketing team know there's a book called "The Hobbit"? Or even that its been around a long fucking time? Like... probably before they were born! Sorry, someone does know the beginning, idiots!

Today I'm playing Mr. Fixit, only in a kilt! Fixed my other food processor, has the disk to do french fries and home made is a question of survival. Then fixed the marble pestle, (mortar and pestle) but I doubt the glue will hold, have a spare anyways. Fixed storage boxes, the Ikea ones that the bastards forgot to include the fastening pieces and wanted to charge me for it! Ya, I glues the bastards and I'm never going back for their crap stuff. 

Next up, birch ply pull out pantry shelf, ooooo I've waited long for this, the hardware was actually ordered 6 months ago! Now the time has come, no more digging into the back to find goodies long forgotten in the inexhaustible depths of the pantry!
