Going karting at GPK in Downsview Park and running 150+ laps thanks to a $30 Groupon deal... Oh, and setting the month's fastest time while I was there  ;D

Solid little warm-up for my upcoming third season of summer karting at Mosport.

So like I just got back from the Vet from picking up the usual $400 monthly batch of meds and healthy dog food for the muts and there is a new girl at reception, she is kind of geeky looking. For some reason I guess two are need at the front desk to handle the financial transactions  :P Anyways....while I chat up the cute looking one and go into my usual moaning about the cost and wish I could hire the dogs as employees and put them under a drug plan the geeky girl recommends that my company should have an official mascot and the maintenance costs would be covered that way  :idea: Geeks rule.

There was a celeb in the UK that claimed their dog as a guard dog to claim back expenses...

I got into a lawsuit with them over a ruling, ended up settling for far less than they wanted and then they flagged me for years after that.  Vindictive ba$tards...   ;D

Hanging out with my 6-yr old nephew for the week.  We built a snow fort on the weekend and he has been playing around with that since.  Note the ladder is required to get up on to my front yard.   :)

I hope the tunnel section is strong enough to avoid a cave-in.

Lewis did 85 minutes onstage.  Hard work for a 66 year-old screamer.

^ love Lewis Black.
On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.
