Haven’t scribbled in this here website in way too long… If I put it off just a little bit longer it will be a year… Obviously lots has happened since the last post. I wouldn’t even know where to begin if I tried. Today marks nine months since I’ve began dating Jessie for starters. We’ve been living together now for at least four or five months… All is going great on that front… Things are going good at work… I believe Triton is on the verge of exploding in size if all involved play their cards right. Guess we’ll see where things go from here if I find the time to write…

Haven’t had the ambition to scribble something in here for a couple months. Just in case anybody actually reads this, I better write or somebody may think I got hit by a bus or something (it’s been known to happen).

Got the land title to my house on July 4th, nobody on the title that shouldn’t be, anymore. Party on! Went and saw T3 on Sunday, an excellent source of testosterone! Received a nice beefy raise from work, woohoo! Oooh, and I fixed my left-turn signal in my truck (damn corroded wires) after realizing it hasn’t been working for months. Did a horrible job involving CAT-5e cable and electrical tape, I’m hoping it will last a week or two.

Essentially, all is groovy.

Ever have one of those days where you wish you hadn’t bothered to crawl out of bed?

First thing in the morning I had to go to St. Albert to install two additional computers to an existing network. Let me just say that I’m now of the opinion that any city that names every single one of there streets should be destroyed and rebuilt. No questions asked. How in the hell is one to know where Joe street is from Big Building avenue? Its completely ridiculous. Needless to say I got very lost…

Granted its not like I had a sense of direction to begin with, but ending up passing through an entire city once or twice trying to find a road that according to the map you printed earlier exists is absolutely enough to irritate someone. After being lost for a bit and somehow ending up somewhere near Sturgeon (don’t ask) I got stuck in a ditch in a failed attempt to turn around.

Of course I’m also out of free AMA calls. So the dude on the other end of the cell says he’ll have a tow truck for me in about forty minutes. I mutter some familiar profanities and even learned some new ones cursing under my breath as I inhaled the toxic fumes of a cigarette leaning against my truck on the side of the road.

About ten minutes later some guy came by, said he lived not five minutes away, had a rope and could likely pull my sorry carcass out of the ditch. He came back five minutes later, and succeeded as he had planned. Awesome! I thanked the man, called off the tow truck and was one my way.

After getting lost a little more into St. Albert I finally found the office I was supposed to do the work for. I dragged all their equipment into the office and proceeded to do the three to four hours of work required.

Needless to say when I was done I was looking forward to nothing more then heading back home. Thats when I reached into my pocket and noticed my keys were gone. I leave it as an exercise to the reader to figure out where I had left them. AAARGH!!!

Score! Bernie came by yesterday and drank all my beer! Wait a minute… Damnit! He drank all my beer! Normally I would attempt to injure him over such behavior, but he also fixed my truck, woohoo! Damn it feels good to be driving again.

Should feel good until I run out of gas and have to fill up at the probably hugely inflated prices (I’ve been off the road for about a month, so I’ve lost track). In other news, I got a brand new t-shirt! It came free with the beer! I’m just so happy!

Look at me! I made it through another month! Reinforcing my excellent track record of luck with anything resembling an automobile, my ol’ Dakota threw in the towel on Wednesday. According to my older brother it’s either the ignition module (conveniently built into the main computer chip in this one) or some component in the distributor (I forgot what he called that). I’m hoping it’s the latter as that would be significantly cheaper.

Uugh, I’m broke, tired, about as grumpy as a get (not very, unfortunately), and also very broke. So that’s me… What’s new and exciting in your world?
