Morning guys, just enjoying my week off. Finally got all the boxes of Christmas decorations put away. It’s like a game of Tetris trying to fit them all back in the storage room. Weather around here has been a roller coaster. Cold, then two days of rain, then back to cold and snow squalls. No...

Hope the cats are doing OK. Stress in a cat is a new one to me. Like you said they sleep 20 hours a day. I wish I could be so lucky. You don't have an easy schedule. My work hours suck (2 weeks day shift, week off, 2 weeks night shift, rinse, lather, repeat) but at least it's fixed and doesn't...

Given my recent feelings on the changes at WDW, you're not wrong :( I should focus on the positive things. Like thinking of my next trip to WDW and getting that first glimpse of Magical Express at the airport. Oh wait... Sounds similar to what happened with my previous phone. It would say it...

My family watched it NYE. I have to be honest, I thought it was just OK. Not bad, but not great. I just couldn't get into the story. I felt that way about Soul too. I hope it's not the start of a trend for me.

Hello gents! A very belated Merry Christmas to you all and an on time Happy New Year. I hope you are all enjoying the holidays. I had a week off during Christmas, back to the grind now. Working day shift for the new year, but I don't really mind it. Honestly DW and I don't do much anyway. My...

Howdy gents. just checking in. I'm working night shift this week, will finish Wednesday for a week off during Christmas. Looking forward to that! First time in 3 years I will have Christmas off. I may have mentioned before that I am a very casual observer of CFL, so much that I forgot the Grey...

Our cats are only 1 and 4 years old, so I suppose I have a little ways to go before they cause more trouble then they already do.

I think, many years ago, probably in university. I loaded it down with a ton of sugar and I could get through it, but didn't really like it. DW did (and I am not sure why) pick me up a Starbucks seaosnal coffee a couple weeks ago, oat sugar cookie latte or something like that. I actually didnt...

Working my first night shift in a while. I lay down for a few hours this afternoon to try and get a nap. The following is approximately how that went. ME: ahhh...blinds closed, room dark, comfy bed, nice and relaxed, now time for a little sleep BRAIN: hey, how's it going? Are you sure you...

I hate shopping too. I would really prefer to get gift cards and I oftne do that for my parents, brother, or friends. But I feel like for my wife I should at least make an attempt to get something more personal, even if she doesn't like what I pick out. And to top it off, she has a birthday 2...

Morning guys. It’s crazy how fast a week off goes. I’m on my last day off before going back to work for a couple weeks. I’ve mostly kept busy this past week with Christmas-ing, (begrudgingly) doing some shopping and more happily baking a few batches of cookies. Looks like the first big winter...

Happy Turkey day to my neighbours in the south! For me, it's "mac 'n cheese made last night because everyone is working or in school and can throw it in the oven last minute" Thursday. But I guess there are a few football games to watch later on. Always look at the bright side!

Well, I just had to come by to report that I had beans for lunch. I had tacos for supper. I am already regretting that decision. I suspect it's going to sound like a private show of Illuminations in my bedroom later. Or on the couch, which is where SWMBO may send me. Happy birthday to you...

Hello gents, Just stopping by, busy working these days. In case anyone is curious, remember the former co-worker who came asking for money? I responded to his email, said that I didn't feel comfortable doing it (I probably would have just given him 50 bucks, but my wife doesn't know him at all...

Gents, looking for some advice. A couple days ago I was contacted by a former coworker asking for help to find work, he has struggled the last couple years. I was friendly with him at work but didn’t have any relationship outside the office. Today I had an email from him saying he is desperate...

Just checking in. Last day of freedom before heading back to work for a 2 week hitch. It’s been a somewhat busy time off trying to get a head start on Christmas decorating. Most of my outside lights are up (although I won’t flip the switch until Dec. 1st) and the inside decorating is done. Tree...

Hello guys. Well, I have to admit I didn’t even get out of my pyjamas yesterday. Ever have one of those days? I think they are needed occasionally. I did feel bad for not making a visit to lay a poppy on the local war memorial, which I normally try to do. It chucked down with a cold rain the...

Nope! But I guess I’ll have to try doing that this week. Which will likely bring on a week of sunshine and 15C :sad2: If anyone is curious the snow did melt away in the past few days and it’s a balmy 10C / 50F with sunny breaks again today. So I guess it could have been worse.

Hello gents Well, remember a few days ago when I mentioned our first snowfall was in the forecast? Well, the forecast all along had been “trace to 2cm” accumulation that would change to rain by morning. Weatherman says doubtful we’ll have to shovel, it will probably melt away. Well I feel like...

Ah yes! Hump day! Although for me it’s Saturday. Starting a week off after two weeks of work. Beautiful Fall day here today, blue sky and sunshine, 10C / 50F (not sure everyone considers that temperature beautiful but I like the crisp air). Spent the morning bringing in the Halloween...
