The Big Day

A Very Happy Wedding - The Ottawa weekend went off without a hitch and aside from the scarred hotel staff we all had a fantastic time.

Word of the night: D'Arrrgh
Scream if you see another: Bubble
Best Moment: Look of love in Wiz's eyes as she gazed into Marks at the end of their 'first' kiss
Longest Moment: Mark waiting for his bride to be to show up (felt like an eternity?)
Worst Moment: Nausia approching critical the morning after in the revolving restaurant (great food though!)

Thanks Sista for a great time!! Love your house and it will be beautiful when done. D'Arrgh!

-Brother Dave 

Happy Campers

Kids are a blast - they can make a bad day go far away in a blink.

Next time you are feeling the pressure go bounce on a trampoline in your birthday suit, you'll see what I mean! Gage and Emerson havin some fun in the backyard.

Got Wood?

Aaahhh the aquisition of rocks and wood really does feel good...here's to all those years of carbon sequestration going up in smoke.

Dave

Stoned

The stone is up - not bad for the first time, I think I will start a company called Dr Rock and begin my masonry hobby.

I love when things turn out, also just fixed at the Lee River Ratz Club:
Hot tub heater pump
Hot Water tank elements

Oddly enough, about the same period of time my Hot Water tank at home exploded - must have been a sign! Now that everything is fixed I am ready to bless my sister for her wedding this long weekend (could have picked a regular weekend!!) (kidding) at least I will drink some rums and piss on some Ottawa grass for a change.

Happy camping
Dave 

Where was Tiger?

Well as you know I enjoy golfing, and the Masters was on this weekend. I told Emerson that Tiger was on TV, she looked and saw a dark man hitting the long ball ... I think she was thinking about something that looks more orange and hangs out with the likes of pooh bear.
I am looking foward to the great weather and working in the yard, along with that comes divots and yelling fore as I once again quest to break that mysterious number called 80.
See you at the 19th hole.
Dave

Getting back - Because it Snowed?

I am happy to admit it is really winter, we haven't had rain or above temps for the whole month of Febuary. Awesome.

What have I been up to? Just keeping the drive staying alive chasing my kids everynight - it is funner than that sounds I promise. Just look how cute Emerson is!

Happy New Year

Back from the short holiday - Merry Christmas to all I missed! Hope you all got what you wanted and you have gained as many inches as I did from over eating and drinking.

Talk to you soon

Dave

The Christmas Feast will soon be upon us

I love this time of year; we all get a little crazy with drinking spending eating laughing and generally overdoing it. I know we call it the holidays and I love to celebrate with all of my friends and family, but isn't there more to this than meets the eye?

I can admit that I don't feel rested after a few days off compared to the summer time days off, I know when I look outside at 4:30pm it is already dark out, and I know I hate it when I hear everyone talking on the radio about the best matress deal in town. Maybe I should have gotten into the mattress business it seems to be flourishing nicely as during my drive to work I cannot hear less than three ads talking about why they have the best cheapest beds in the city!

At least I can say that among all of these things I can still smile and enjoy my life, things are great and I can't wait for a few days off to eat drink laugh and be tired.

LOCAL HICKS MAKE CRIME STOPPERS TOP TEN MOST WANTED

Now on the lookout for two Hunters yielding unlicensed dangerous loaded weapons linked to a number of crimes committed two nights prior to gate night - please report all sightings or additional information. Also on the look out for a large green skinned human wearing purple shorts, could be linked to the crime spree. 

Yep those are bananas

Well take a look it was the first time I actually saw fresh cut bananas rolling towards the market, the trees look like thick bamboo. Cool.

Happy Hunting 

Jetlag and the Old Monk

Well India has come and gone but the sights and smells are still circulating in my head. It took me almost three weeks to get used to the crazy time difference, laying in bed wide awake at 4AM everynight thinking about home and the chillies became a habit when I could have been just having another dark rum and coke...damn!

The more I come back to reality here in the peg the more I realize how lazy and lucky we are, I passed a construction site here that made me laugh: three white guys with safety shoes and vests on watching another white guy in a bobcat dig a hole.

The reason that is funny? You might be telling yourself ya so that is what I see all the time! India had to dig holes to, but it looked a little different: 50 people, most with barefeet, digging with hand tools and putting everything into large metal bowls on top of their heads to move it ten feet across the street. No bobcat, no safety shoes, no one watching the white guy work just watching the white guy with his jaw on the floor staring back at them thinking how lazy his own people are in Canada. All this for about 40 rupees a day if they are lucky. Find out for yourself how much that really is and remember that when you buy the XL double double from timmys.

One thing I do appreciate is the willingness to have a rum each night when the sun goes down, the smooth buttery goodness of Old Monk and coke makes for such nice mellow night I can't wait to start importing it to Winnipeg.

Peace
Me and the Doorman at one of the Hotels that serve the Monk and some damn spicy food
