We switched dog foods a few days ago and tried this Costco Kirkland brand food. The dogs were fine on it before but this time it’s been giving them the scutters. They both went on the floor a couple times because we didn’t hear the warning signs while we were sleeping. Other than that I had to get up every 2 hours to let them out at night so they can explode in the backyard ‘pooing area’.
Have you ever seen Great Dane explosive diarrhea on the wall and floor? It’s pretty crazy, it was about a foot in diameter! How do you clean something like that up? You can’t pick it up with a bag and you can’t quite soak it up with paper towel. You kinda just skim it up with a shovel.
The horror.

Jesse Ventura once said “I ain’t got time to bleed.” I experienced this tonight while working on home ventilation. He was right!
I cut myself a few times on some jagged metal while trying to properly re-do some air ducts that I temporarily put (taped) together when building my workshop. It was hot in my basement with no fan going, I had little time to screw around and had to get things up and running by 10pm.
I was using the angle grinder to saw off some air vents and to cut square holes for the vent take off things. I looked down and I saw I was bleeding a bit. Actually it was more than a bit, I sliced my finger so wherever I touched there was a bloody fingerprint. I put a bandage on it and kept working.
Probably a 1/2 hour later I but myself again. I said “Screw that, I don’t have time for this!” and just kept wiping it on my dirty shirt.

Paint in the ass bleeding. I hate screwing around with ventilation with a passion, but I think I don’t hate it as bad as painting.

So today I was driving down the road in the blistering heat and my car fan died. It blew air only on the highest setting and the air conditioning didn’t kick in at all. Bad time for this to happen.
I went to the dealership and asked what it could be. They said it was a heater resistor that cost $40 and they could put it in for about $80 labour, so $120. I asked what the thing was and how to replace it and they told me. It took me under a minute to do, problem solved.
Again…I’m no hero. I’m just a regular white guy tryin’ to make it in this world.

My George Foreman mini-grill is now my dedicated bacon cooker. Nice flat strips every time.

Holy Christ it’s hot !

Fruit fly trap: 1 mason jar with small holes punched in the lid and an inch of beer. They crawl in but can’t fly out due to their wingspan.

We just had an earthquake here in Ottawa. “A 5.0-magnitude earthquake has hit Quebec, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, with tremors felt throughout southern Ontario and the northeastern United States.”

I was resting in my car on my lunch hour and felt the car swaying. I looked out my window and saw my car tires squishing as it rocked then people started to evacuate the office building for about 20 minutes and we went back inside.

I’m lucky to be alive, I should treat myself to something big, like an iphone or something. Some have already said that I’m a hero, but I’m just one white man trying to get by in this crazy world.

My new favorite food is Thai red curry chicken. Seasoned chicken in a sauce made with coconut milk and spices served over rice. Crazy flavour.

Today while driving through an Asian community I noticed everyone was walking slowly with their hands folded behind their backs. Why do they do that?

Today we bought a central vac unit and I installed it in the garage. It works! Now what am I going to do with that stupid long hose they all come with? I don’t exactly have a vacuum hose closet handy.
