T minus 26 days to take-off – the party is on the 24th, which is Mike’s last day – don’t know where yet – All we need now is a buyer! C’mon! Let’s get this show on the road! At 289,900 this house is a steal!
The weather has been fabulous – early spring. Flowers everywhere. My ‘Valley Valentine’ pieris bloomed real nice – hope it does as well out in NB! No snow on Mt Benson – that’s unusual – there’s generally snow up there until May! Could be a dry summer here.
Went to see Avatar 3D – second time we saw the movie, and the 3D effects were cool. Definitely on the list to buy when the DVD becomes available!
Waiting for the carpenter fella to come & fix the soffitt – he’s got a nice day for it, but I have to sit here – I have lots to do though, so it’s not like I’m floundering or anything…
Planning to head to Victoria tomorrow to see Sandy & Mike & also pick up some stuff at Lee Valley for the garden show next weekend. See how it goes.
Find her a vacant knee, fellas

Tried & tried – trying – to get a phpbb set up – but can’t remember or figure out what the setup is – no matter what conflagration I enter I get errors – oh well – maybe I should just be happy with the eblah – that one was very easy – it basically installed itself.
Dealing with a web-geek who thinks he’s the only one who knows anything (prima donna?) – when really, it would be so simple to just do what you’re asked & quit bitching about it – trying to make the client think it’s so difficult is beneath you – come on! You’re name isn’t Scotty & this isn’t the Enterprise. You still get paid & if it was easier to deal with you, the client would be happier about paying what you ask! Really!
take a deep breath ~
On the lighter side – packing is going smoothly – stuff is piling up in storage & I’m getting the rest sorted to start loading the trailer. Truck’s in with the mechanic today – for a checkup & oil change. Got new tires last week ~ it’s starting to feel like we’re really moving! Countdown to retirement is at 43 sleeps – but Mike’ll be off work sooner than that because he has vacation time coming! Woohoo!!
You’re lookin’ swell, Dolly

- let us count the ways -
Canada Post is going about it with enthusiasm – it’s Christmas – and they’ve decided to start charging us 13% HST because the destination charges HST.
(We’re supposed to be paying 5%!)
This is a new thing. We have HST coming in July 2010, but that will be 12%. CP has implemented a new rule that says they can charge 13% HST NOW instead of waiting until July!
Bah Humbug Canada Post! Gotta capitalize on all that Christmas mail going out, eh?
People really ought to protest this treatment – it won’t end here – some companies are already following suit – charging the higher rate of tax. WTF is going on? It’ll be all the couriers & telephone companies next… do we just keep paying? Are we going to lay down & let them screw us?
I’d like a little foreplay & some kissing first!
