Another weekend down the tubes. Friday night Shan and I went to See Troy at the cheaps. Guys, take your lady friend to see this movie. When you get home light a candle and Brad Pitt is your new best friend. I am no poof but that is one good looking man.
Saturday I was up bright and early to get over to Mikes for his “Sod Party”.(1) Soon after I arrived Steve, Bry and Ports showed up and with the help of the neighbour and Tara’s folks that place was a sea of green in no time flat. I have never laid sod before and don’t intend to soon. Ports was a champ out there so I will certainly make sure he gets an invite should I ever throw a “Sod Party”. The next time I get an invite I will make sure to get a ride with Timmy D who pulled onto the street just as the last piece went down. Mike and Tara were great hosts as usual with the beers and doggers afterward.
After Sod we had a mini-windup for the Pistols at Steve’s. Ok so it was just Myself, Steve, Gould, Mike, Ports and 85 beers. It was heaven to hit the pool and have a few pops with the boys. Steve topped it off with some great burgers for dinner. Highlight had to be the neighbour climbing up on the roof next door and jumping into his pool. It was something straight off of Jackass. I taped the whole thing with my digital and in the background you can hear Steve yelling “DIVE MAN, HEAD FIRST”. Sully and Ryan made an appearance just before I left. Saturday night I watched a couple rentals. Shan had Bronwyn for the day so that Paul and Tara could get some work done at their place so she wasn’t home until late. It was nice to just relax.
Sunday Shan and I picked up Erin and went to Birds Hill Beach(2) for the day. Seems like everyone in Winnipeg had that very same idea. Place was packed shoulder to shoulder. It was nice to get out with Erin and Shan and just spend the day at the beach soaking up the sun. Some of us more than others. Shan was looking pretty red when we got home and I think must’ve been a little sore today.
Erin slept over Sunday night because I am working new hours now at a NEW JOB! I forgot to mention that I am now a Vendor Service Rep(3) for the NWC and I couldn’t be happier. Goodbye sweaty warehouse. Today Erin and I had breakfast with my grandma and then went to Taylor’s place for a swim. Lots of sun this weekend that is fersure.
(1) – That is what you call it when you ask your friends and family to help you sod your massive back yard. Looking at it today I am sure we did one hell of a job.
(2) – Not sure why we don’t go here much anymore. I used to go all the time with Erin and the girls when they were little. I hate crowds a lot more now. Everything feels harder. Is it father time? Not sure.
(3) – Ah the North West Company Selections catalogue. Those were some good times.
