but it needs to be delivered...

 ??? One does not sell ones bikes

it was my Dirt Jumper.
something we only used maybe 4 times a year (winter only) at Joyride.

Now we've got cross country skiis and plan on getting a fat bike!  ;D

A gift from a friend...


Is that going in the car your wife drives or the work truck? ;D

Not sure I want to put it in either... :-\  I'm a weak man when it comes to the aroma of BACON and as it is now have a hard time not stopping for bfast every morning.  I may hide it in a coworker's vehicle instead... ;D

Have you tried the bacon toothpaste? Hahaha

No, but I just ordered a pizza with extra bacon even though I brought lunch with me today... :lick:

Yeah, I don't think that air-freshener won't be going into either of my vehicles... :P

Getting out of hospital last Sunday.  Home now, and not out of the woods yet, but glad to be able to drive , shop, walk, etc.  No gym, which will drive me crazy...  Not sure when I get to return to work.  Going to Redblacks game with Steven tomorrow (we were supposed to go last week,but that got messed up).  He has been amazing through this.

Finally a routine is developing.  No naps anymore, with the oldest, both kids sleeping by 8:30pm, 3 days this week so far.  Just played Gin with my wife for 2 hours, haven't played with her in over 4 months!  At the moment she is slightly ahead, which is rare.  :rofl2:

You're well enough to shop, go to a CFL game, but can't go to work.  Have you no sense of pride man  ???    The Federal Government .... so depressing.  My father-in-law was a Federal employee.  Would golf all weekend and then come Monday his back would go out and stay at home all week.  Then on Saturday he would be back on the links.  It's endemic.   Wouldn't be so bad if the country could pay it's bills and not tax the living sh*t out of ppl.   :P

Warning, this is going to sound like an unhappy story, but it's got a good ending:

At the Sens game tonight.  Lady in the row in front of us walks in, drenched in perfume...like she showered in it.  Pretty soon a purple-green funky cloud (maybe I was imagining it) settles over our section and the stink of what I can only describe as Eau de Old Lady gives me a headache.  I can see other people are being affected by it and I start hoping that the guy beside me would pour beer over me to mask the sickly stench.  My son is worse affected, and we try to switch seats so he's further away but before long our eyes are watering.  So, what do I do?  Do I tell her somewhat nicely to refrain from wearing her Eau de Screw You next time she comes to a game, or do I go to guest services and ask them to change our seats tout suite.  We choose the latter course, the Sens season ticket rep thanking me for not raising a stink (LOL!).  I get them to change our neighbour season ticket holders' seats and the four of us up and leave to another section to enjoy the rest of the game scent free.  Would've been nice if the Sens had beaten the Hawks, but still a shootout loss is not bad against a team which is arguably the class of the NHL!

Yeah, think I want to be cleaning up the bathroom and do laundry in the middle of the night.  And the booze going straight to my son!  :rofl2:  Those days have been on hold for awhile!  :(

I was going to say drinking gin for 2 hours might ultimately lead to another child... :rofl2:
