garbs loves a good sunset....

nothing to report really but i will say this..the garbs loves a good sunset...it's kinda hard to see him but i think you can see his finger...nice work garbs...we went down to watch the psychic network dance at showboat the other night, after getting sebastian some ice cream, and we enjoyed the sunset together...we ran into a crazy dude garbs knows...some french guy who's name i forget already...
today i took garbs up to labelle leather supply and got him some goods for his work...on the way back he took some pictures of the lawn mowers stacked one on top of another at boundary and grandview highway...i've never been into that shop but i'd like to...seems just crazy enough...
helped the network move her stuff up one flight today within the same building...her new place faces the water and has a great view...i was happy to help..well, not initially, but after we got going it was fine...(pics to follow sometime soon...) hugh, who i know from the flower factory-he was the delivery driver for a long time, helped out as well...so did the garbs who was kinda roped into it even if he did kinda volunteer...i had to leave before it was completely done as i had to drive the garberator down to the island and then go and buy insurance for my motorcycle which was ready to go today at shail's motorcycles...seems fine so far...there was a weird shudder/vibration in the clutch..now gone...i hope...
off to dinner...more details later...

windshields, rentals and kung po chicken

stewart whipped this up outta paper tape, on a wall in the shop, in about five minutes...awesome...



al has a great chrysler saratoga..he's had it forever. it's really a great looking car and he's been at it for the past while getting things redone and repaired etc. a little new paint, the seats have been recovered and today it was time for a new windshield...it was a bit of a nightmare getting one for it, and even so it's not exactly like the original but it's cool with the old school tinting on the top...he's hustling to get it done and back on the road by next tuesday because we're renting out our cars to a show next wednesday, thursday and friday...masters of horror...i said i would never rent larry out to film again but i know the car wrangler on this show and he's assured us he'll be the one moving the cars and only him..so it'll be fine...i hope...i need the rental cash...
we're not working tomorrow and instead working the monday..which makes no sense but that's what production wants so..whatever. i've actually got a packed weekend...i'm cutting lawns tonight, helping the garbs tomorrow with a couple of errands he needs a ride for, helping the network move crap to her new place and cutting a couple lawns...saturday i'm working at voltage all day helping those kids out as erika has to go to a wedding in edmonchuk....and then helping jen with one N move some stuff out of her old place to her new place...sunday is, i think, slurpees with erin and...well, maybe nothing else...bbq, maybe a movie, relax...get ready to go back to work...

have a great long weekend kids...

ok. so for those of you who give a shit-and apparently some of you do...i went for my heart/stress test today and the pump is fine....as i thought...although if something was wrong i didn't want to know anyways...but i will say this. and for those of you who know me well, or even not that well know this....i am very body concious and basically hate what i've become as i've gotten older...although, truth be told, i have never been a big fan of myself and today was a painful exercise in trying to keep it together as i was being tested. i had to remove my shirt and have it off, for a prolonged period of time and try and avoid catching a glimpse of myself in the doctor's mirror. i actually told the woman, goldie, who was doing my test that i had to have the mirrors removed from the wall next to the treadmill or i wasn't going to be able to do the test. she laughed. i assured her i wasn't joking. the mirror was removed. also during my initial check by the doctor, i had mentioned my weight and how i hated it etc...as i was laying on the table he made a comment about 'my baby' as he patted me on the tummy....nice...a fat joke...thanks dude. anyhow..i did fine, my heart is a well oiled machine, and i'm not likely to have a jammer...too bad....i have decided to stop eating though...lose the baby...and try and regain some sense of self...and try and not be too depressed about being old and really fat...but for marcy, the network, mishi, garbs, skippy,my mom, dad, etc.....i have done what you wanted me to do. there. all done. i'm gonna live. good times. i'm gonna go cry now.

come on, you were never that shy...

i was listening to an old, obviously old, jesus and mary chain cd the other day and that lyric was in one of the songs...who cares right? i do...i always loved that line...it's kinda like calling 'bullshit' on someone... ok...on to bigger and better things...

it was a busy weekend and i won't bore you with all the details but it involved me bartending at the voltage munny show-i think i held up my end of things slinging the drinks, another garage sale up at matthews street and one at the manhattan building downtow. i only made a guest appearance at the matthews street one but that mishi, the network and peter rocked the matthews street one and mishi and sacha did the manhattan one,i ended up helping corie pour silicone at the shop for a fake gun he's making-i don't ask questions, the queen of the universe's birthday was sunday-she got a nice new gama go jacket thing from voltage, i met whitey-the queen's best pal, and her kids for the first time...had worst service ever at benny's bagels ever..EVER!!! and attended a going away party for diana who is moving away for NYC to be with her man, brent...he's cute, i think he's a good cartch for her...noel on the other hand-jen with one 'n's man...well, that's for another time...(cute but...so needy...).... anyhow...loads of pics from a packed weekend...oh and that fucking jazzfest in my hood...don't mind jazz..it's fine...but the fucking traffic cops really need a tune-up and ....oh fuck it... here are the pics...

i love you all....

a salute to tom and corie and don bull met head on

so i'd love to go into some sort of great disertation about the night's activities...last nights..but...well, i don't have a lot ot say about it really. after getting off of work a little later than i have thought i would...fuckin' grouse mountain...anyhow...i headed home had a quick shower and headed with the psychic network to topanga to meet up with corie...we picked up mishi and the garbs along the way... when we got there don bull was just leaving with some friends..we started in on him and before you know it his friends had left him there...so he joined us for the rest of the night...good god..he had been drinking since noon-a day that had started at the nat watching shitty single 'a' baseball and ended up at topanga.... we tosated to tom and got right at it..corie and don went head to head all night in a no-holds bar margaritas and sunglasses showdown...somehow don ended up wearing some of corie's clothes... the pics are the only story i have...

i love you tom..... thanks.

bee stings, al's place and a lost camera and a bag of canned chili...

so last night was interesting...
fater work i headed up to al's place to give his lawn some lawn order action. it's was a quick cut, just a small front bit and a medium sized back yard...easy. i think al was happy with the result...then i headed over to jessica's place where i was meeting garbs to cut her lawn. when i got there i was informed that molly, jessica's dog, had been puking all over the back lawn...excellen. she had been eating the grass and then puking out these long, snake-like grass ropes. cool! anyhow...lawn done the garbs and i headed back to the shop to drop off the mower and such and pick-up the pink chum i had left on my desk. i also had a few cans of some sort of canned chili in my car that we were using at work for some gag where a can of chili gets blown up..who cares? nayhow, i had cans of chili. while i was putting the stuf away i asked the garbs to grab the cans of chili and bring them in. oh! and i also got stung by a bee at jessica's! fuck! did that hurt...ok..so all was fine.
the garbs and i headed off to fatburger, just what i needed-see previous post, and on the way i asked garbs where my camera was. he couldn't find it. we took everything out of the car and looked everywhere. no camera. we called jessica, she didn't have it. so after we ate dinner - now 10 p.m., we headed back to jessica's (which is way up on main street so we go to to see a rockin' party at the flower factory along the way..those girls know how to party...) anyhow.. and looked on the lawn for the camera - garbs quietly freraking out because he thinks he's lost my camera...no camera. then we head back to the shop to look there in case i had grabbed it without thinking and had put it on my desk...nope..not on the desk..but there, inside the bag that was holding the canned chili was the camera...now 11 p.m....garbs was happy! i was tired.
so all in all, all's well that ends well...

but i'm still super fat but at least i have my camera.

say hey!
