You may know that Kristin isn’t one to take the best care of her car. She has taken it down a snowmobile trail, rarely changes the oil without me bugging her for a couple months, and has had it in two accidents in the past year. The area of concern for me at least these [...]

I’ve been using Microsoft Money for a while now to keep track of where I spend money. Lately, I have been having issues with importing data from my PC Financial Mastercard account, where only a subset of transactions would import correctly. Since it works fine with my other accounts, I posed the question to PC [...]
This spring, once the snow melted off the deck I built last summer, I noticed something disturbing. The stain which I painstakingly applied last summer was peeling like a mufo. I contacted the stain manufacture cabot stains and asked what would be happening and how to fix it. They sent me a survey, and asked [...]

This past weekend was Diana Martin’s and Andy Clipsham’s wedding in Barrie. The weekend started off on Friday night with a dinner at the charcoal steak house, paid for a gift certificate given for my trip to New York. Free steak never tasted so good. However, it was during that dinner that I remembered that my [...]

For those of you interest in the Kristin’s car saga, she arrived home last night safely. The car “seems” to be ok so far, but we still need to get it checked out by a mechanic. Maybe all the off-roading got rid of some of those pesky rattles. That is a step above her current [...]

As stated in my previous post, I was in Ottawa until later last night. I got home at 10:00 to an empty house. Kristin was going to a friends cottage up north, and had left from a company golf tournament in Newmarket around 5:00. I did a few things around the house, until I got [...]

The one thing that I love about summer is the garbage and the heat. Kristin and I have a habit of cleaning out the fridge on the weekend, a day or so after garbage day. The garbage then ends up sitting in the garage for a week, until garbage day rolls around again [...]

This weekend was a pretty relaxing weekend. Friday night we visited Sean and Shannon for dinner. They made a great dinner, and Kristin brought along an amaretto cheese cake from Vincenzo’s. We ended up talking until almost midnight.
Saturday, I was not motivated to do much, so I went and saw the Bourne Ultimatum, got some [...]

Last week, I was in New York City at a customer site. It was my first trip to the city, and it was quite interesting. Geoff and I ended up having to drive down, since he did not have a passport. We rented a car, because neither of us wanted to take [...]
