Kick Off

This is my first real post on the blog I have been thinking about creating for quite some time.  I started today with a cup of West Coast Dark roast coffee and an half hour of news consumption. Hurricane Irene is the only thing out there today for news.  I wish they would catch up with Wacky Gahdafi and make some real news.

I spent most of my day as the site inspector down on the waterfront here in Halifax NS my home town.  We are in the process of re-aligning the roadway and upgrading services in the area of Halifax that was closest to the Famous Halifax Explosion.  I am always on the lookout for artifacts but nothing to date.





 Today was a fairly nice day and I was able to do a little cruising around  on the great Motorcycle I picked up while working in East Tennessee this past year(more on that later). 
 I decide around noon today,  after listening to Sonny Fox on Raw Dog Comedy recommend The Rise of the Planet of the Apes,  to take my lovely wife to see a movie since the trip to "The Help" was such a success last week.  The movie was OK and kind of fun but the best part was getting to take my wife out for leisurely late afternoon outing. When we got back from the movie I managed to get out of walking the dogs by fixing the back deck that had become disconnected from the house after the latest Hurricane. 



This deck thing all started a couple of years ago when I decided to increase our "greenness" by adding a second clothes line. Well the added pull on the deck from 2 cloths lines has slowly been pulling the deck away.  I managed to get it almost back in position tonight with a jack and a come along and tomorrow I will reattach it and hopefully get a few more years out of it. Pictures to follow.
