Johnny Cash : Hurt

I came accross this video the other day and was actually very moved by it.

I got goose bumps all over. It brought back memories of my father listening to Johnny as I was growing up. They were good memories but watching the video and listening to this song made me think about this legend who has been around my entire life.

Even though my father has been gone for 15 years whenever I hear Johnny cash I think about my Dad.

I consider myself very fortunate in the fact that I had the freak opportunity to see this man perform. I was up In LA in the summer of 83 and He just happened to be there having a concert . I very much enjoyed it.

As most of you know I am not a country music fan and probably never will be. It's like nails down a chalk board to me.

But I salute this man for all his accomplishments, I was very saddened by his death as this is the loss of a legend. One of my legends.

Waterton National Park

I had to go for a wedding so I drove from Northern Town to S'toon then flew to Cowtown then got on another flight to Lethbridge then rented car then drove from their to Waterton.

Meanstwhile My niece was flying from TO and meeting me in cowtown so we could fly together the rest of the way. Needless to say Air Carnage cancelled her flight bumped her so we could not fly together. So we saw each other for five minutes in cowtown only to meet up again in Lethbridge.

It was very Beautiful their.

New Career Path

Well I finally did it after years of complaining and bitching about my job I quit.

Short Version of why I quit.

I was at my job for 9 years 9 months and 10 days It did have it's good times. I worked for a guy who I thought was a great boss we got along great 99 % of the time in my eyes it was a good job.

About 7 years ago my boss deceided it was time for his son to come work for us in management. We have management meetings every two weeks. It was about 2 years of the the two of them fighting over the stupidist things and I was usually stuck in the middle . I learned to just turn my back and walk away and let them fight. So after 2 years of fighting my boss deceided to make his son manager and he deceided to leave .

About six months into into it my boss calls me numerous times and says what is going on I can't leave things go on the way they are. What will happen if we fire him Blah blah blah. Yeah right I'm gonna tell my boss to fire his son . Does he think I'm daft? Of course I told him to do what ever he felt was right.

He then comes in for our bi weekly meeting and demotes him as he does not have a clue on how to be a manager. ( And he was never at work) He makes me Manager and promises me everything.

Of course the wage increase came along with more responsibility, I was doing the job before just not getting paid for it. But all the other things I was promised were never mentioned again. So I deceided enough is enough I'm out of their.

Over a year ago I applied for a FED GOV job, after numerous testing and interviews I was finally called and offered a position.

I am happy to say I accepted the position and am not looking back.

I have completed 1 week of work so far and compared to the old job it's a walk in the park.

And I like walking in the park. So it is all new to me and I am ready for the adventure.

As well I do not have a job title yet so when people have asked me what I do ? And trust me on this one evryone has asked. I have just replied I don't know yet.

And here is what I do at my new job

Closing up the cottage for winter

It was a tough one but we did it closed everything up at the cottage for the winter.

Saturday came and Puffy helped Vinnie and I Tarp the boat up biggest damn tarp i've ever seen.

Took us a couple hours , Big Bitch 11 was put to rest for the winter.

Big Bitch got to go tromping around like their was no tomorrow let her loose on the golf course and she was like a rabbit hopping here their and everywhere.

She even went swimming a couple times. Ooh it was cold.

A great time was had by us can't wait to go out for another weekend

Ready for Winter

Last weekend the long weekend Thanksgiving weekend.

We pulled the boat out and the lift and the dock. It was very sad as it will be months and months till we get to float the boat again.

I suppose I am not alone in this dilema but it seems like I am . I know I have friends who have commented on the same things now and then.

Where have all the inteligent people gone ?

I am so sick and tired off all the stupid people I have to deal with day in and day out.

It is rediculous , how do these people dress themselves in the morning or let alone know how to use toilet paper I will never figure out.

My staff are unbelievably stupid . I have one guy who honest to god has idiot days the other staff and I comment on how dumb he can be on those days.

Six degrees of seperation

Ok I finally got a haircut (my last one was in may).
I am getting my hair cut yesterday by a new hair cutter guy. We have never met before he came reccomended to me by a good friend. We start talking asking questions about each other etc etc. He is clipping away chopping off my golden locks we talk about travel and all sorts of things. He says he is going to L.A in march .

Well of course I start blabing about our fabuloso trips to la and the things we have done. So then he says he is going to montreal to visit his friend Kyle, then to vancouver etc etc. So we go back to the L.A thing cause it's always about me of course.

I tell him about Madonna, and he says who did you go with ? I thought that was kinda strange but kept on chatting a mile a minute and of course I said my good friends Titsy and Hussy. He asks well where are they from ? And I'm thinking who cares where they are from I went to madonna(it's all about me right).Madonna for tards sake. So I tell him Dodge and Oil patch Saskatchewan

Then he says to me my friend Kyle used to live in Dodge isn't that a coincidence. And you know I was with Kyle when he got a text message or phone call (he couldn't remember which) from a girl at The Madonna concert in LA. Well I said I'm sure my friend Tisty has a friend named Kyle who lives in Montreal .

Well we figured it out a year and 1/2 ago I was in L.A with my friend Titsy and he was with his friend Kyle and the two were texting about the concert we were at.

Six degrees of seperation man it was to weird .




The haircut was great a little short but I like it.

Martini Mishap's

Well I have to say as the months pass and we have company at the cottage we expect our friends to break the odd Martini glass.

We have taken probably a dozen glasses to the cottage and one by one they seem to get broken.

we were down to two left so we thought we better replenish the stock so we took out another 6 .

In one week Peanut broke one Vinnie broke one and one was broken by the dishes in the sink (no one to blame for that one).

Peanut
was re-arranging the freezer and thought oh those Martini glasses will
fit in the door to the freezer so will take up less space . Until
peanut swung the freezer door open and martini glass comes flying out
at him.

Vinnie was digging in freezer and had to take one
martini glass out so he could get to the cold martini glass at the back
of the freezer so he set the warm one on top of the freezer. 15 minutes
later when he went back to make another shaker ofcosmo's he swung the freezer door open to get ice and the martini glass on top of freezer came flying at him.

So now we are down to five.

A week at the cottage

It was a wonderful week at the cottage.
Started out with a visit from Queen jemma and her parents. She is now
3. They came for a visit. She has grown so much . We tried to con her
into making a few deals while we were their one being If she shit in
the toilet she would get a Kinder surprise egg. well after 8 days
nothing. We of course will remember this and bug her about it when she is older.



Mommy Dearest

Of course we went fishing and we were very successful, The sunday we left I even caught a 5 pounder.

We had a great fish fry one night and had a small zip lock bag full of left overs.

Queen Jemma's Great grandmother had begged for some fish so we sent a package to her and she loved it.





We also went Quading one day, good friends Tuffy & Ace came by and picked us up . Said you guys can have that quad equipped with helmuts and all. We had a blast I drove of course cause Vinnie doesn't like to drive . Tuffy even brought beer for us boy's. We went for the whole afternoon and topped it off with a tour on the boat.

We went shopping at the Flea market and all bought something. Of course we frequented the local Liqour store to find out that the Liqour natzi has retired . We were saddened as she always brought tears to our eyes as we bombarded her establishment.

It was quite quiet as all the demon sprogs have gone back to school .

It was another wonderful week away from the world.

The Dryer

Ok when we got back from holidays in july we had lot's of dirthy clothes . Lot's of laundry to do etc. Cunswaylo was no where to be found and the dryer was not working properly. Hmm That liitle bitch has been doing a little caflucking to the dryer so she doesn't have to use it. The dryer had heat then it didn't have heat. So I finally called sears as that'e where I bought it. They said no problem.

They sent out a repairman he spent 15 minutes playing with it then came upstairs and said yeah it's the controller. Well if you knew it was the controller then why didn't you bring one with you. So two weeks later he calls comes back and fixes it. So this weekend has been laundry weekend from friday till sunday .

Still no sign of cunswaylo

Boat

Ok the boat is fixed and back in the water we picked it up a day late . But it is back in operation and ready for another month of use.Hurray

Damage to the Boat

Got the latest estimate $2,800.00 for the Fire works escapade


As you can see here the prop is alittle bent



Her you can see how the prop actually chewed into the bottom of the splash guard



another prop photo

here you can see the shaft is bent and the leg is cracked . This is the expensive part . The prop was only $800.00 bucks no less

Simpsonized

Catastrophie at Wakaw

It was a sad evening at the lake . We went to watch the fireworks that were happening in wakaw so we were traveling west through the channel .

I was driving and We hit a big Rock.

Boat is fine Motor did not fair so well . We brought The boat back home and will take it to the fix it shop Tuesday.

Vinnie's estimate around $ 2,300.00

Needless to say I have had my head hanging low .

Here fishy fishy

After days of not catching a lousy thing one day Vinnie and I came accross this little secluded area that was just ripe with perch .

Our first day at this spot we brought home about a dozen.

Second trip we caught probably a hundred but only brought home 24.

Black Betty

Black Betty returns and does not get drank under the table.

Yes she remained the queen this year as i do recall last year hearing her moaning from the living room . Trick was feed her martinis she can't take it.

Look who's beside her it's Puffy with his glass out trixied him again hehe.

Puffy

Puffy came to visit and of course i wanted pictures for my wall of fame . As you can see he was being trixie every time i went to snap his mug a glass was in front of it . but I outsmarted him got one of him on the boat. As you can see he brought Wilma with him AKA Titsy AKA Fibi. And would you not agree this is a very nice pic of the two of them quite sober i believe must have been early in the morning no less.

Stained waste of skin

So I have taken the vehicles to get fixed. The Jeep is done and now on loan to Ricco & Veronica.

The car has been repainted and the window and interior damage fixed. Still has to go for the interior light/ door ajar problem

I have so far forked over $ 800.00 for windows and 500.00 for deductible not to mention insurance has paid &1300.00 to the body shop.

And the car isn't done yet.

That stained waste of skin has now cost SGI over 2100.00 and me 500.00 and we are not done.

I just bought a new light that will permanently blind you if you touch my car .

I will be setting this trap to catch the &*$# Head.

Cuntswaylo

I looked and looked as I thought maybe we left her at the cottage , the last time we were here. I did see one eye in the bushes I think that was her. You can see she was cleary hiding of course neglecting her duties , dishes beer run water hauling porta potty dumping .

I still didn't catch her.

Wilma Aka: Titsy AKA: Fibi

This is Fibi just prior to her performance of Smelly Cat. It was quite entertaining.

The reviews from the neighbors were mixed some said it was wonderful other were not sure what the racket was. I personnaly luved it and can't wait till the next performance. I am hoping for stairway to heaven .



And here is Titsy making an appearance on the boat. She was up to her usual tricks drinking smoking dancing etc.

And look who is behind her puffy and his damn glass. It's a two hander martine glass in one hand looks like a beer in the other hmmm.



Wilma hiding as usual but we can see her.

Big Bitch

Big Bitch had a great vacation towing the boat around the lake everyday , swimming walking etc etc . She hates her new life jacket but i love it . I can pick her up right out of the water.

She has crawled up the ladder at the back of boat with a little help . Practise will make perfect. soon she will be able to get on and off by herself.

Visitors to the Cottage

A fine visit was had with Veronica and Ricco . They were on their best behaviour and even stayed overnight.Ricco even tried fishing. I don't think he even broke anything this time oh i forgot about the chair . Of course Veronica was chatting up a storm with all the other guests as usual . I truely love her, she has such a spicy personality somewhat like a red pepper.

As you will notice in the back ground a Pineapple that was one of four that was brought to the cabin for the weekend, my friends are so thoughtful. Booze and fruit can't go wrong i always say
