Found this on my dad's hard drive

Picture of me and some friends getting ready to grill up some venison. What a grand Valentine's day evening that was!

some hockey pics

I posted these pics on a post on modsquadhockey.com but I figure I might as well post them up here. Just some random pics of a game last Octobre.

introductions

I guess I could take a couple minutes to say who I am. Not really a good time cause it's 10:30 and I have to wake up at 6:00 tomorrow morning. But I can make this quick.

I kinda had another blog. It was on my web site. But then I gave my iBook to my dad. So I couldn't use Quanta+ under linux anymore to post... easily. Kind of a pain to convince your friends to install linux just so I could update my blog.... and it's a little bit of a hassle to download the blog file, text edit it, and them re-upload it. Every time you want to blog.

So this bogger site is kind of handy. Um, if you want to know anything about me, my web site is probably a good place to start.

My motorcycle is probably a write-off

Today was sucky. I was stopped at the intersection of the Yellowhead Highway and 97th street. There are 2 lanes and I was in the right lane. When the light turned green I and the car to my left drove across 97th street, heading west-bound towards the Yellowhead onramp. A car who had apparently been southbound on 97th but trying to left-turn onto the Eastbound Yellowhead came flying into our lanes, going about 20km/h in reverse. What a moron.

The car to my left saw him first and slammed on the brakes, stopping just inches from the idiot's driver door. When he entered my lane, he saw his error and put on the brakes, but not before his back bumper smashed a hole in my engine. I didn't have time to stop, only to lay the bike down somewhat and get off of it.

Note to my motorcycling friends: you can duck-tape a 4 inch hole in your crank case and probably drive your bike 30-40 minutes. But you will lose some oil. I have spent most of my day doing emergency surgury to my GR650, one of my best companions. I think I might of screwed up the liquid gasket. :(

I'm happy I'm not hurt. My leg hurts but I'm not in the hospital. I'm just torqued that guys would try manuevering busy intersections in reverse like that. He was going fast enough in reverse to knock me out for the day.

There's my grumbling.
