Did a little more lanscaping on my lawn, all by hand, ugh. Now I am yapping on the radio, it's gonna be a long night!

CJ-- must be a HAM?

not much accomplished today, other than fixing the wife's turn signals in her Grand. 15 minute fix, 14 minutes of which was eaten up with trying to figure out where the @#$@% en-guh-neers decided to put the freakin' turn signal flasher module.

Nope, not a Ham, a DJ at a country radio station in Burlington, VT. Got an 11 hour day, thats a little to much radio for me!

Went for a horrible run, chatted, went for a haircut.

Started making my list of things I need to buy/do before next Thursday, when I'm doing my annual "live in a tent and work in a field" stint at the fairgrounds.

Good thing I have some money right now, or I'd be screwed. I forgot my tent ripped down the entire seam last year until about a half hour ago, I've completely forgotten to watch for sales.

Went to the Motorcycle rally. There are some darn pretty bike there. Will post pictures as soon as I can.

Got my new plates for my bike, so I celebrated with a nice ride.

New plates...BULL 55 (same as the wife's van)

Went grocery shopping, made some bleu cheese-walnut-cream cheese spread for the party tomorrow, ordered some "trees in celebration" from the Arbor Day Foundation for my dad for Father's Day.

While shopping, also bought a new cooler (mine mysteriously disappeared from the garage one day, I blame my niece but can't prove it), a new tent, a new battery-operated lantern, and some sunscreen and bug spray.

Where the hell does bug spray and sunscreen go every year? I know for a certain fact I didn't use it all, but every year I have to buy more. Hate that.

Bite the proverbial bullet today and test my ankle out. Have to scope out some properties and hope that they aren't too wet to do some maintenance work. Also buy yesterday's paper since I slept and read for most of the day. Great books, waste of time.

Went to the British Speedway GP at the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff last night, can just about remember walking back to the hotel at 2.30am, so I woke this morning in a strange room with a raging thirst and a banging headache. Missed breakfast, drove the 150 or so miles home, had dinner, took some crap to the tip, right now I'm waiting for the F1 Grand Prix to start, which leads nicely into the footie......

A VERY beer fuelled weekend.

I'm going to pay for it tommorow morning.

Played golf, had a good round, set a new personal best of 107.

That's for all 18, right.

Got woken up by the phone at 11 am

Slowly fretting about dealing with my best friend's future in-laws because of pre-wedding stuff. *sigh*

They're trying to take over everything...

In todays heat it felt like 20.

Wen to the bike rally. No one was interested in having thier picture taken. Must work on different approach.

Damn, I want your life.

*L* I am still tired. I had gone to bed at 3:30 am.

But it's about time to go meet the mother of the bride and then some gym action! Woo!

7:45pm - Watched the footie.

9:45pm -

Went to my sister's house for our Father's Day thing (yes, it's a week early, but all of us are busy next weekend and couldn't do it then). Good food, good times with the family, good fun running in and out of the garage between thunderstorms. Huge fun with the kids all over me, and me tossing them in the pool (whenever it wasn't storming).

Now having a nice cold glass of wine and relaxing at home where there's quiet.

First day back at work. Ankle feels great, right now. We'll see how it feels in a couple of hours.

Found out the woman who pretty much WAS community theatre in Grand Rapids, and who was one of the first people I met when I started, and who essentially took me (and others) under her wing and showed us the ropes, died over the weekend at 75. Feeling kinda like my heart's been stepped on.

Looking forward to getting back to work full time.

Went to Starbucks, went to the gym, came home, showered, had dinner, made numerous phone calls, went to the Richmond Night Market and stuff myself silly, came home, feel like throwing up.

The Richmond Night Market is back in... Richmond. It's a summertime thing that happens every weekend. It's just a market place [think outdoor flea market] just like the ones in Hong Kong I ended up picking up some blank CD-RWs. There were no more pirated DVDs this year though. Maybe they up some sort of rule since a few stands got busted a couple of years back and were charged.

Woken up by Harvey and realise it's a Monday! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrgh! Thinking of throwing a sickie......decide not so getting ready for work!

So say Monday? Hmm give me what you got and I will see it through.....

Woke up listening to a fat trumped up excuse for a DJ on the radio crying about how england lost.... GET A LIFE


had a loverly shower, breakfast and drove to work...


SAW THE BOSS'S new SL55AMG parked up....


stood drooling for 30 minutes.

Jaysus, I just got up a while ago and that was far too early. NO, I haven't accomplished a damn thing yet, other than making up my mind to go back to bed. So there!

Found out as I was getting out of my car that the contract negotiation meeting for today was cancelled.

Came home and started putting together my new grill...decided I need to either be drunk or on drugs to figure it out.

The boss took me out in his new car earlier,

I am still grinning from ear to ear...

Why must I always be doing something?

Uuuh...what were you two doing??

Woke up, had a really hard time getting out of bed, made lunch, took out the recyclables, got gas ($1/L for 94 octane), and came into work!!

<SFX: Clapping Hand > Bravo! Bravo!

Getting ready to attend a meeting tonight.....

Hey, all that stuff took me 1.5 hours!!!!

I look forward to getting off work tonight.

I not only triumphed over the $%@$#^!@$ grill (WTF do they have to include pictures only as if they are instructions? If you're illiterate, you shouldn't be putting together something that contains hot burning coals! ), but I got my car completely cleaned out, and packed the easy stuff in it already (tent, chairs, table, canopy, rugs, foam padding, pillows, sleeping bag) and put the cooler in the back seat ready to load.

One meeting Checked One more to go tomorrow.......

huh?


Driving around in his car, as i said

well, overtaking EVERYthing at blistering pace, came off a roundabout and nailed the throttle, hit 100mph about 7 seconds later....

amazing car

Just driving??
Did you come out with a wet spot on your trousers??

nope

I was a good boy:)

Cleared the proverbial air

Went to the "community memorial service", which is what they term the service for us heathens who aren't Catholic.

Got drunk.

Went and saw the latest Harry Potter movie.

Took a nap, ate dinner, watched Six Feet Under (oooh, Arthur...*swoon*), did laundry, feeling too wide awake right now. I have to get up in 7 hours.

Woken up at 1ish to find Harvey curl up at foot of bed in which he hadn't done for past few days....went to sleep feeling glad. But had to curse blue murder as he had woken me at an unfathom time with a huge bite at my head....

Got up cursing at him......and that while he have an appointment tomorrow with the vet for booster, I will ask them to switch it to put the bleeping cat to sleep!

Then fed him and climbed back to bed......woken up at normal time feeling like a truck had hit me.......Harvey with a halo above his head observe me from a distance......grr! Had change my mind about putting him to sleep!

Hang in there mb. We all know that you love him very much. He is just a bit of a trial. Good for your soul. I'm having a similar experience right now, however it is good for my soul also and everything will work out in the long run. Trust me. I have faith and I know you do too.

Chatted with Wdoll whilst he is in Ireland. Erin go brah (or whatever.) Also with Baz.

Started my day with a giggle, which is never a bad thing. Had a GREAT horoscope!



Now drinking a huge glass of cranberry-cherry juice, putting off going to the office for the pre-meeting meeting. *sigh*

Had a meeting with the local school regarding my oldest boy. The are going to do some sensory testing on him. They seem quite compitent and confident in what they are doing. They seem to have the childs best interest at heart. That makes me feel very happy.

Slept in, was late for my appointment at the gym, had a horrible workout (still sore from Sunday and was barely awake to keep my balance), went to the ATM (woo! Payday today!), came into work, walked towards the wrong cubicle twice.

Today is going to be a long day. *sigh*

I'm in a holiday mood, so not a lot has got done today, and less is likely to go on by friday, the only thing I am concentrating on, is making sure all my systems are up to scratch and are gonna be trouble free next week

Bought a nifty pair of shoes in Douglas Court, I'm now happy with my trip. Only 20 Euros, bit less than at home but I bought them in Ireland! Also bought HK a porcelain doll and the grrls two "rag" dolls. Time for Guinness!

Woo! Got the corruption error in my help project to disappear...

Now, I just have to see if what I did will kill the other 14 projects instead...

Pre-meeting meeting at the office.
Contract negotiation meeting.
Post-meeting meeting at the office.

But more than anything else today, I have talked to/driven behind/dealt with COMPLETE AND UTTER MORONS!
