I'm still here. I've been busy.
I had a really bad cold for a couple weeks. My wife is 9 months pregnant and I've been doing extra shifts at work during the Flood Watch 2011 in Winnipeg here. And the economy isn't looking very good.
I just changed the oil in my truck. That's a new skill I've picked up. I don't know anything about cars. Nothing.
But I've learned how to change my own oil and more in the last year.
Costs me about $9 bucks instead of $40 at the garages.
I do get dirty thought. Smells like dirty oil.
So I hope my truck runs a little smoother.
The big Winnipeg flood turned out to be a flop. Which is good I guess. A lot of people did not prepare in case it was bad. I build 8 foot high dikes along city properly that connected to a residential lot that have 0 feet of dikes, So if the river did flood then our 8 foot high dikes would do NOTHING. So I'm glade it appears to be a non event. And that I got paid good money for a non-event. :D
I have a baby on the way. Anytime now. My wonderful and awesome wife Tammy is 9 months and 1 week pregnant. This is our first born. It is a boy. :D
Dad is very excited!
I'm really really excited.
But this blog isn't meant to be mushy or cute. It's meant to be about doing it yourself and having fun doing it.
You know what sucks? Sandbagging. I, personally, handled around 130,000 sandbag's during my 5 weeks at it. You know what doesn't suck? Planting 14 onion bulbs in a raised bed garden that has no chance at seasonal flooding.

So I'm going to continue to post but life is really kicking it up a gear.
