It struck me as funny the other day as groundhog after groundhog emerged from their borough and did or did not see their shadows…

There are no female groundhogs.

With all of the strides in female equality one niche has still been untouched. From the beginning of time males groundhogs have acted as stewards of spring never allowing room for a lady hog to wiggle her way into the mix.

I say it’s high time we get some groundhogs high.

NO! I’m kidding.

Next year I’d like to see a female groundhog. Could be groundbreaking.

Last night Bill Murray’s Groundhog Day was on. What a delightful movie to take in on Groundhog day, you forget how charming he and Andy Mc-should-be-easier-to-spell-like-McDonalds-Dowell.

Was a good night.

Oh Needle Head when will you learn that the insurance game just don’t pay.

HAPPY FRIDAY!

February 2, 2012

I went to Costco yesterday about 2pm.

Huge line ups.

Didn’t really need anything.

I made my round with an empty card and then ditched it after I ate all of the sample they had…real full size bagel bites too!

Don’t say no right away.

You know how we have wifi.

We have routers and instead of sending internet through the air you would have the router sending electricity through the air.

No more power cords, no more dead phones.

Granted when it rains everyone may be electrocuted.

I think this may have legs, Matt The News shot me down and I think Rae would let me have my dream until I actually was going to invest in it, that’s when she would tell me how bad it was.

This morning I saw a picture of a cat rolled up in a tortilla peaking out.

Next time I got to Taco Time I’m ordering the bean and nip Purrr-ito.

The weekend past rocked, Ms. Diesel brought down a friend of mine from Edmonton who is a tattoo artist to touch up some of my ink, that sounds tough…ya, I got ink so what. I just wanted to see how that sounded. VT…very tough. Acronyms are very tough as well.

It was good.

Best all around birthday in over a decade!

Lucky boy.

BURRRRRRDAY EDITION

And low the clouds parted and sea followed, sky turned from night to day and a mighty force was unleashed. It happened today, 33 years ago today.

‘Tis the day I descended from my parental womb.

Slid down that motherly canal.

This morning Rae was the most amazing of lady friends, when I arrived at work I was greeted with breakfast with pancakes that had bacon in them, cards, games, balloons, hats, gifts and candy.

Matt The News’ gift to me was agreeing to wear his red news blazer all morning.

Two besties for suresies of all time!

My friend Jon is taking me flying today, I wish I had a flight suit.

Ms. Diesel is taking me for dinner tonight, I would wear my flight suit if I had one.

I’m a very lucky boy…even without a flight suit.

Next Year…Maybe Get Me A Flight Suit

One more day…no not a cheesy song.

One more day until my birthday, it’s tomorrow.

Along with a nice dinner and great gifts from my lovely Jessie I’ll also be flying high above Red Deer.

My new friend Jon has a plane and a hanger, he needs a flying partner, I told him I was down.

I just wonder if my birthday is a bad luck day to be doing extreme things.

Jon’s already talked about doing stalls.

A stall is when you fly straight up and cut the power to the engine and just fall back to earth and then when you get a little lower you power back up and you’re good to go.

Fun.

I asked if we have flight headsets and parachutes, he said we have both…JUST KIDDING he said, we get headsets but no chutes.

Luckily enough the plane is a hybrid and can land with no power like a glider if need be.

He told me it gets hot in the cabin and that we’ll just need a tshirt to wear.

SURPRISE! IT’S MY BIRHTDAY AND I HAVE A SUIT JUST FOR SUCH AN OCCASION.

I’m trying to jailbreak my ipad 2.

I’ve already jailbroken my iphone and now am having trouble with the software for the newer Apple products.

The message keeps saying that the program is not responding once it gets half way through.

A lot of people are having trouble with it as well.

I’ve tried about 40 times, no dice, restored, updated and tried everything that’s been suggested.

I’ve got a guy at work who is bringing in his mac book tomorrow, I’m trying everything.

It’s worth it though, if it works the payoff is nice.

This makes me tired though.

It’s all I’m thinking about.

January 19, 2012

This morning I decided to wait a bit to write my blog, I had no idea what I would write about.

Fast forward 2 hours later and Rae brought it in to studio.

She knows me.

She bought Mouse Trap…I ALWAYS WANTED THIS! WE NEVER HAD IT and anyone who had it never had the entire game, there was always pieces missing.

Even Jason Foley had Mouse Trap but when I asked if we could play it he said “ya but there are a couple pieces missing.”

She bought it for me.

I kicked the bucket and caught the mouse. I don’t even want to play the board game I just wanna make the pieces move!

Ms. Diesel and I were watching the news last night and they were talking about a weird weather pattern.

Apparently in the eastern US they had developed “thunder snow”.

Holy Shatner! I thought to myself.

We both looked at each other and were like that is ominous.

This morning one of Rae’s segments was “things that make you feel better”, she went on to talk about music from your past that can cheer you up but I had one that wasn’t related to music but was memory based.

About 5:06am this morning I was heating up a breakfast pocket and just then the combination of smells from the microwave, fridge and coffee maker came together in my nose and took me to anther place, I closed my eyes and sure enough I was there.

Late 80’s early 90’s in the Scott Road Plaza in Surrey, BC, there was a Godfathers Pizza that we went to whenever we wanted pizza for dinner, it was a buffet and had video games we got to play.

The nice thing was no matter how many breathes I took I could keep getting the smell, it didn’t disappear but I did, back to my childhood.

Rae’ll Love That Cheesy Line…Pun Intended As Per Usual

January 16, 2012

This morning Rae called it a flapper boogie.

I was blowing my nose a few times, there was obviously something there.

At this point one of three things will happen; it’ll disappear, stand its ground or switch to the other side, I know sounds like Chaz Bono. That kinda makes sense.

Shit, I got this far and lost interest in what I’m writing about and I’ve lost interest I can’t imagine how you must feel.

Right now we’re all laughing like good friends…MTN continues our horrible train of thought, Rae has her head on the desk talking about how we’re bad people and loveable ol’ snoopy is caught up in the middle of it, if you could only hear some of our conversations off the air.

You could always hire us to work your Sunday post church brunch.

I’m considering retirement.

I’m already up to blog #550 today and am thinking when I hit blog 1000 I may retire.

That seems like a lot of me talking. Typing actually.

I can see your head nodding with agreement.

Well here’s to 450 more blogs before I peace out.

I picked up the 2012 Kia Rio from Scott Kia yesterday to take it for a test drive and do a video for the internet for them, it’s an average guys look at the brand new whip…ya, Rae’ll like that.

Great car.

Is it sad though that the first thing I tested it for was how it would do in the nearest McDonalds drive

through?

There May Be Lettuce That Got Away From Me…I love McChickens.

We’ll Call That A Surprise For The Person Who Buys It

January 10, 2012

Hot tub. Or as Will Ferrell said it best haw-tub.

I bought a house that came with a hot tub.

Here’s the thing about hot tubs; you’ll love having it, won’t mind the up keep or even the power to run it but you will not use it as much as you think. You may go to hotels just to stay with a place that has a hot tub but when you have one at your house you just won’t use it as much as you think. Once you’re in it you wonder why you don’t use it every day but it’s the setting aside of the time for the soak that usually stops you.

Recently our haw-tub stopped working.

We’ve weighed our options and think we might take it out and build in a gas fire on the deck. I thought why not have a fire where the largest concentration of wood is on my property.

I’d like to replace a feature with a feature.

The hot tub right now is built in so we could recess the seating into the deck and then have the fire in the middle.

I’m not sure yet, my concern is that once in a while the jets will just start to pulsate and make the lights in the house flicker, also when the haw-tub mechanic was looking at the mother board it sparked…I like to think the sparking was just a feature on that particular hot tub that year.
