Elbow grease and a new deck


Well...yesterday we completed part one of 2 parts of restoring our deck. We were pretty surprised to such good results from the cleaner we used. 10 years of crap slopped off...and now the deck is ready for staining. Should look like new in no time :D

Yay hard work :(

Garden version 2.0


Carla and I are attempting a vegetable garden for the second time. Last year was pretty successful....aside from us being over zealous in our plant choices and over crowding the joint....who knew cabbage, cauliflower and brussel sprouts grew to such large sizes? :O

We expanded the garden a few feet and made more of a planned selection. At least the plants have enough room anyway ;) Hot weather already...don't know if that means we'll do well or not. Here's hoping :D

This year we have green, yellow, cayenne and habanero peppers, cauliflower, broccoli, zuccini, eggplant, sugar snap peas, bush beans, two different tomatoes (aussie and big beef), carrots, spanish onioins, radishes, parsnips, toy choy, greens? (some english kind of cabbage). Quite a diverse mix...hopefully something comes of it ;) We don't plan to subsist on it....so it's a decent hobby ...that may or may not provide something in the end :D

Wal-mart in Guelph! The Horror!

The evil Wal-mart empire has finally arrive in Guelph, Ontario!  After years spent averting progress....the citizens of Guelph are now forced to endure convenience in their shopping experiences...along with lower prices.  The horror!

HAHA.  God I love that place.

I'm an Uncle!

Congratulations go out to my sister and her hubby Scott on the birth of their first child. Weighing in at 7 pounds 8 ounces, Andrew James Robertson entered the world at about 11 pm, June 20. The proud parents are over the moon...as are the rest of the family. Way to go Neener....you did it!

The next phase is to phase out the usage of the name Cletus...as he was known for the duration of the pregnancy!
