ONE PIECE AT A TIME

Woke up with this in my head
I really don't feel like typing much today so I leave you this.......A Classic!

Just A Rant

Won a game of poker Saturday Night
Made me feel a bit smarter
In truth I guess it is luck
But hey that's why It's called gambling
Who's got the luck?
I can tell you this tho
I'm good cause Ms Doodle also gave my drunk ass a ride home
and I had money in da pocket.
I left several messages with some people
"poker Sat at the man's"
Kinda felt like a pest and still I got no response
So there will be no more of that
I actually broke my "I call three separate times" rule
of course the calls are spaced out over a few days/week
but It was disappointing that I could not get some of the old crowd
to come and play
PS- the rest of the rule is "if no response within the three calls
Your Out ."

If You Love Me Won't Ya Let Me Know

I found a new website
Could be my new favorite
Ms D Says it is like the "for Dummies" books
but only on the net
It is everything you want to look up but
All on video
check it out here
I think I will use it for food recipes
even tho it is blan and kinda slow
the essentials are there and
hey we all cook more in the winter.

And The Himmler On This One Is There's No Dessert

Got to talking about smokehouses

One day I would really like to build one

Well actually two

one for fish and one for meat

realistically tho

I will be lucky to build one

In the shape or similar shape to an outhouse

the smoke would come out where the seat woulda been

You would have a long enough pipe from the stove outside

to control the heat

and some sort of racking system to hang your meat

The secret to a good smoked meat is in the brine

Now All I need is a country piece of property

some wood and some time

You Pause And Wonder, You Pause And Wonder, I Paused And Wondered Too

Getting Crazy With The Cheese Whiz

Things are so so
Same shit from day to day
Were gonna try some new stuff
Now I know you were thinking
Cheese whiz , ms doodle and I where's this going?
Boyfriend Intuition says this is no good so I will stop there.

We had our first anniversary together on Sunday
Hard to believe how fast time flies when your having fun
We Went to the Thunder Bay lookout
I never been there before, it was pretty high and windy
The view spectacular as it was coulda been better
but because of the fog it was limited
Anyhoo another boyfriend intuition moment says
don't try to get her to come out to the end of the lookout
with you if she's scared of heights and your bouncing around.
I love her and Were still dating

Ok back to the new stuff
I emailed the college today to find out about
the Purchasing course, I been talkin about taking
for the last 6 years
If all goes well I will wrap up my 639 days left here
and graduate from that course at the same time!
Out with the old... In with the new!
I also thought about taking a multimedia course
I do have a face for radio so that would work
and it would be soooooo fun however
The deciding factor was the fact that purchasers make more
cashola then radio personalities
In my 32 years here I learned Fun does not pay the bills.
The next step is talk to the bank
I wanna up my RRSP payment due tho the fact I have two jobs now
It will help come tax time
Also cause I am gonna need cash
for: tuition
a newer vehicle and more cheese whiz!

I Used To Rule The World

"Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work
and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car, and the house
you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it."
- Ellen Goodman

Best quote I have seen in awhile, it got me thinking
I don't think I was put on this planet to do what the above says
or somewhere along the way I missed my calling
however that's how it works and whats the alternative?
rob a bank, win the lottery or find a red ocean
I also realized I and most peeps I know are getting to
be older, successful and or not
That being said you start to think about the
"what have I done with the first half of my existence"
thoughts
It's kinda scary really, however that's them, this is me
I do what i can.......so cowboy up were goin for a ride!

Did You Not Know The Royal undergrounds Are Always Forbidden

Went for a ride on the Cadillac of Quad Runners

a 150km ride to be exact

The little buggy flies

0-90 km/hr in a heartbeat

There is something to be said about the fall time colors

when your cruising by at 80k

It kinda went like this

tree /tree/ tree/oooo pretty/tree/

bush / mud/ bump/tree /partridge/

puddle/tree/tree/ bear bait bucket/tree /rock

bump/bump/mud/tree/grass/dirt/rock and more trees

all in the span of about 4 seconds

Tamarack trees are my favorite this time of year

but after awhile my face was full of mud and

I couldn't see em anyway

but there bright orange and yellow with the fall colours

Now the reason I was cruising so far at such a pace

is the P-bear shot yet another moose

apparently he is the only one outta the party

that actually fires his gun

Anyway he got his bull with cousin Jay who also took shots this year

40km up the pipeline there parked waiting for me(quad)

The pipeline entrance is 10km from camp

just to give you an idea it's 50km from where I was with the quad

to where my services were needed, well actually the quads services were needed

P-bear and Jay shot the bull about 160m from the road through a valley on top of a hill

We spent the next several hours pullin and swearing getting the moose to the truck.

Now besides the fact I forgot my camera at home and it's lots of work pulling the moose out

I had a very good time out there

I feel refreshed and re-charged

I feel happy for P-bear for the braggin rights he now has

I feel like opening weekend was a great success

I came back to town and had a wonderful turkey Day

spent sometime with Ms Doodle and some friends

I just wonder if one day

she'll let me buy a quad?

Being Cool Is Safe and Being Safe is Cool

Probably one of the most bizzarre and brutal short films I have seen!

HeartBreaker

Long days turn into long nights
witch I might also add turns into early mornings
I like my second job and it helps out alot'
I also like my day jobs hours
and as of late I have kinda grown more fond of the day job
I so wanted to lose months ago
Ohhh it might be a passing phase but
where else can you hang out with good people where you enjoy there company 9-5
and rats in the same building during the same hours
ya
someone told my boss that I allegedly won the contest
and I got shit!
I hope whoever it was feels good about it
cause Im still gonna spend it on Ms Doodle!

Pumkin Pie Season

September flew by
October is slipping away
got lots on the go for the next bit
Starting with the Hollywood hunting trip this weekend
I don't even care if we see a moose I just wanna get out there!
enjoy the outdoors
Looking forward to Thanksgiving diner when I get back
maybe they will have pumpkin pie?
The furnace is looking forward to A much needed tune up on the 15th
MRI for my ongoing bunk neck dilemma on the 17th
Ms Doodle and I....Together for a year Oct 19th
Gonna do something fun that day, something special perhaps
just for being great and putting up with my shiznit for the past year
I have a few ideas but I'm not sure what were doin besides a great dinner

In other news I just won the hundred bucks so
i forgot where I was going with this post
and I'm on my way to collect
Ladies and gentleman
The man has left the building!

I'm Packin My Bags For The Misty Mountain

Watched the election debate last night
I am still unsure on who I'm voting for
one thing for sure tho like ms doodle says
at least I should vote where it will count
like not for the bloq quebecquois or liberals
so I guess its between the NDP and The Conservatives and The Greens
Although I don't care for our NDP guy Bruce Hyer
Jack Layton is a bulldog that is pretty straight forward
The green party for our riding (Brenden) has some good points
specially for students and I really liked there leader Elizabeth May
That's where I sit to for now to make a long story short
I'm gonna do a little research on the party's for our area so
it might change ......
The point is YOU should vote and at least make it an informed decision

Cause You Know Sometimes Words Have Two Meanings

I have literally been every caller but caller #9 to win the cash this week
maybe just maybe I could be #9 today..........

Speaking of calling people
there are a few peeps out there
who may have broken fingers
poker season is slowly approaching
let it be known that I left messages(plural)
to see what's up and to maybe get a game together
no call backs
I guess the old crowd is not interested.
I think there scared!
I been doing some thinking again
facebook
I have alot of people I don't ever interact with
on my friends list in fact I'm not even sure I know
lots of the people that added me
I'm getting bored with it
then again it is a good tool.
