back on the road

busy day today...didn’t get everything done...but got alot.

had my last training session with charlie and were both pooped from that. she's done really well...i was worried that the trainer might give me shit for being to soft on her...but it was all good.

i also washed and got my scooter running again...with ani's help. was worried it might not start...but it seems ok. have to insure it tomorrow b/c i ran out of time. i'm pretty excited to get it back on the road!!

nice spring day

had my semi usual breaky at kings head in kits this morning with brent...then headed to granville isl to see garbs and wish him a belated happy birthday. he wasn't there....but we did see these lovely little duckies....

...and mishi...i'll have to try again tomorrow i guess.


after our extended walk i headed over to the show and shine at the whip on main. wasn't too exciting. i think some of the cars were gone by the time i got there.

here's some pics....

my dog is my co pilot....cute..




thought this ford was pretty rad


:)

happy birthday charlie pants!!!

today was charlie's birthday and we celabrated with a nice walk at trout lake...and a lovely bone....



charlies been in strict training for the last two weeks so today was the first time in a while she's had any treats...pets or kisses...
i'm really proud of her...she's doing really really well.

ani and sophie relax at trout lake..


:)

evening at the beach

tonight was the first showboat of the year and what a great one it was! nice weather...lots of dancers...

before hand a got some tai food with brent...then walked along the beach with charlie...hung out. charlie's doing well with her training and not so freaked out by people...so that's great.:)

i thought these italian guys on the bench were funny.....


it's year 11 of dancing showboat! pretty darn good....


afterwards i went down to the clubhouse for some beers and snacks....what a great evening it was.

:)

timing....

do you ever wonder about timing? if i had or hadn't done this at that time...things would be different?

my timing seems to be off...badly off lately for alot of things these days and wonder how do i get back on track. kinda what my whole staying in town for much my hiatus is about i think. catching up on my life doing those things that need to be done. see if that helps. not trying to pack too much into a small amount of time.

i will do i short road trip in june though. ani and i plan on driving down to san fran via portland my birthday week. it's also happens a good friend of ani's 50th around that time...mr jello biafra. so we're gonna go down there and help him celebrate. he's been kind enough to say we can stay in his modest mansion with our chihuahuas....and i here there's gonna be a big bash!!

could be interesting.....

:)

now my blog can be pretty again....

got a new camera today.

bought the same one i had before...the canon elph. the last one lasted 6 years...so i figure that's pretty good. the new version is alot smaller and lighter with more pixels.

i tested it out taking shots of my new rose bush...


:)

happy mothers day to all!

...especially my mum :)

this is totally not related...just thought it was funny...





:)

thought we all could use a funny pic...

ani moved out into her own place today. makes me feel a little sad...i kinda liked the company. she gave me a lovely rose bush for outside my door as a thanks you..can't show you a pic b/c my camera is broken.

so instead i'm giving you this pic b/c i thought it was funny....

a little gum surgery

so today i had a little gum surgery. i wasn’t planning on actually getting it done today...just the exam...but the dr said it only take 20mins...so i figure WTF.

so i’m at home now with a frozen mouth...oh well...hopefully it heals fast. i might have to go in agian to have something else done...not sure yet. one thing at a time i guess.

:)

home sweet home....

waters back on and i’m finally home. i’m also done work. so i get to have a life again.

today i had to go to the dentist. i have a weird gum thing going on and probably need dental surgery. i really hope this is the last of it....i’m tired.

:)

packin'

ok....guess i'm headed to a hotel.

more later.....

:)

when i rains....

so i’m wondering what else can go wrong right now. last week along with being sick my kitchen sink started leaking....leaking badly....

then today i got a frantic call at work from ani....i guess a pipe burst and water was coming threw the walls onto the kitchen floor down to the apt below. goodtimes....

so now were sitting here...no water....no shower toilet...nothing....

hopefully it’s gonna’ be fixed tomorrow...otherwise we’ll be two stinky broads.
