Can’t swim

I have a good feeling I will never see my dog swim.

Don’t tailgate the salt truck

I don’t get these people that follow so closely to the back of a salt truck.

Chubby Abby

My dog is 60 lbs today.
She’s looking a bit chunky and she hasn’t even started the holiday festivities.

Double-double

I couldn’t imagine getting a “double double” coffee at Tim Hortons. Usually I’ll put maaaaaybe one sugar in my coffee (usually large) and then it’s at a point where I can barely taste the sweetness – that’s when I do it myself. Whenever I go through the drive-thu and order a “single single” and have them do it, the thing’s so sweet it makes me want to toss it out the window.

I don’t know how they measure their sugar, do they just have one of those glass tabletop jars and just dump it until they decide to stop or do they pour over a tablespoon and stir?

Some people get a medium “double double”. That’s a large percentage of milk and sugar if you ask me – it must be almost white and as sweet as Kool-aid. I know someone who gets a large “triple triple”. Why bother with coffee in that case? Just get a chocolate bar and a can of Coke for breakfast and suck it up through a straw (stuck down through the tab turned around backwards of course).

McDonald’s rant

I go to McDonald’s today and I noticed that the deal of the day order is all screwed up. Instead of getting a Big Xtra on Monday they’re giving away a double cheeseburger.

The guy tells me it’s the double cheeseburger with lettuce and tomato. I take it to my table and find out it’s not the same double cheeseburger they used to give out. This didn’t have mustard, ketchup, or pickle – it had that mayo junk instead. It was basically a big mac without that center bun piece and no pickle or Mac sauce. Why’d they change the ketchup? It’s not even a burger anymore, it’s a double cheese sandwich.

It was a sad say when a lot of fast food burger places made the transition from selling burgers to sandwiches. I thought ‘Oh-oh, this isn’t going to be good for anybody.’

They don’t even give you ketchup packages when you get take out there anymore – you have to ask for it. What are you supposed to eat with your fries, plain with salt topping?

Dairy Queen’s the best burger place around.

Audio jacks

I’m making some modifications to the TV room.



I wanted to get rid of all the speaker wire that goes around the sides of the room. I have two rear speakers and two front speakers – lots of cable. So I put in audio jacks. Click the link for a walk through.
