The First Bar-B-Que of 2006
Wednesday Night was so nice out we decided to have the FIRST Bar-B-Que this year. Unless you count Hot dogs.
Look at them Steaks all Marinating in Salad Dressing..
I lit the Bar-B-Que.
The bottom grates starting tho rust out....
Nice warm flames...
I boiled some canned potatoes on the Hot side first..
I poured the rest of the marinade in the can..
Salmonella Be Damned. You got to live Life on the Edge sometimes.
I decided to use the small Bar-B-Que.. because the Big one needs new valves.
The potatoes are so flavourful.. I think it's the flavour of the can..
Add some Sauteed Mushrooms and Onions and Voila. Tasty Tasty.

Sweeping out the Dirty Hole
Today the chimey sweep came to sweep out the chimney.. duh. What else would he be there to do?
He brought his brushes and vacuum to clean out the ash and soot.
He also cleaned out some more dead birds that fell down the chimney.
I think it's just easier to light the fire and open the flu..
He then climbed up on the roof and wrapped new mesh around the chimney cap. I could have done that.
He only did that because the cap was stuck on the chimney.

Operation Old Lady
Mom was Surprised too see everyone. She thought she was just going out to lunch with Melissa and Nana.
Mom Blew out all the candles she could.
Meg and Gerry handed out the cake.
Uncle Pete looks for a sippy cup to put his beer in.
Watch you don't Spill Pete ![]()
Eaven shows me his tattoo.. He told me "It'sth Bugsth"
Tom discovered he suffers from narcolepsy and dozed off standing in the kitchen.
All in All it was a good day.
The Boyz hung out in the basement playing X-Box,
There was way too much food....
The Uncles reminisced about making their friends crap themselves when they were in there teens, and electrocuting each other.. good times, good times.
And the best part was that mom was obviously oblivious to the whole ordeal until she walked in.
I'd make this entry longer.. but I'm going to bed.. more pictures are in the album Operation: Old Lady.

the FIRST day of Spring
I've been contemplating firing up the Bar-B-Que lately. Getting some big thick steaks, and potatoes. Grill up some mushrooms and saute some onions. Too bad it's been so cold. Not that I mind cooking outside in the cold. The Gaile force winds we've been experiencing lately are another story.When it's -2 C with a windchill of -20 C.. It makes Grilled cheese sound more tasty.At least it's warmer.

My Day at the Dealer
I got home at 10 am on thursday.. just in time for MacGuyver.The day passed and there was no call to tell me what was wrong with my truck or how much it would cost.
At 4pm I got a call from the dealerships coutesy shuttle. He woke me up so I told him to come get me at 430p. I had no idea what was wrong and was expecting to pay thousands of dollars in parts and labour since they had the truck for two days.I went to the cashier. I asked what was wrong with my truck.The Ball joints were replaced and they replaced the valves on the transmission. My transmission has valves?

Track Pants Day
- I got out of bed
- I brushed my teeth
- I watched Macguyver
- I ate a bag of Lays Curry Chips... after awhile they tasted like poutine.
- I have been drinking flavoured water... it's like watered down juice.. mm mm
- I contemplated the relevance the word cockroach to a gay pot head... he'd smoke both. I assume this would also apply to female pot heads.
- I played shitty video games.
- I burped up the flavour of curry potato chips.. If I was "active" I'd probably sweat curry flavour.. ewww
- I know Wednesdays are Pajama Day.. But I wore Track pants.. since I'm not going out.
Track pants are like walking around in a tank of fluffy kittens..
mm mm soft.
