I am still Alive!

Yes Rawl I know it been a Long Time scince my last Blog and no i do not have any other reason why i have not done it except that i have been living in Ajax for the past 3 weeks.

Some of you may or may not know this by now and that is i have decided to move in with my Girl friend Jen. She lives in Ajax, east of here in a Town house and it is a decent size for the two of us. I have been really busy with moving a few things there and keeping in touch with friends and family.

Two week ago i was in Kingston for my Advanced Diving Weekend and that was a Blast. We ended up doing 6 dives with in the 2 days that we where there. My dive buddy was Mark and we blasted right throught the course doing very well. The only problem was that on our Navigation Dive we had a few problems this the rough waters and had to stop the dive and continue on the next day. Over all, all four divers with in the course had passed and all had fun doing it. Jen even came along for the dive weekend and helped with the cooking and cleaning at the camp site. She really is the greatest!

I have even been hooking up with my Brother most weekends. He has been doing great on the open road. I even picked him up from the truck yard on the day of that major storm in T.O. Last friday evening.

I have spent the remained of the time with family and friends. I also hope to start working on my Blogs again soon, but untill i get setled i may be 3 more weeks un till my next Blog so hang in there readers!

It's Been a Long Week!

Well after the Long Weekend i have been runnin around this past week.

Work has been reletivly slow but then again it was the long weekend, and the fact that i have been off for the last 3 days makes it much easyer to relax. I am however back to work on Saturday Morning. I am so looking forward to it!

On Tuesday i got to have Lunch With Tom, Dave and Rich. We went to Hoooters to get there Spicy Chicken sandwich and the veiw was not to bad either. Wink, Wink...Nudge, Nudge Know what i mean.
That night i got the chance to have dinner with Jen's parents and we had a great pasta dish. The meatballs were grrrrreat and the sauce was homemade. Oh ya. (
Tom & Sue : You guys still make a mean pasta!) Then we jusat chillied and had cake that Jen made, which was a vanillia cake with a pudding icing.

On Wednight i finally got a hold of Mr. Chan. He too has been really busy with his summer vacation. With that being said Jen and I got together with him, oh and don't forget Tina came with us too. (
A friend of Jen's) The 4 of use went to the Bear and Firkin in the P-Town to sit on the patio. Rawl and I got totaly wasted, we even started to talk with another table next to us and started to do shots together. My Sweetheart Jen was kind to be the DD and take us all home. I even ended up naked on the floor of Jen's Spare Room. That must have been a site eh!

On Thursday i went for Lunch with Jen's parents too Texas Burger in Ajax. We had a long chat with them takling about life and learning more about Jen and her family. It was great fun. I did not have a hang over to much due to that fact that a wise friend told me to match my drinking intake with water. (
IE : Tom) That texas Burger Joint is really good. I had never been there before and it turned out to be a good little lunch!

Later on that evening Jen and i had dinner with my father. He had made lasagna for dinner and turned out to be a little dry, but was great just the same. Then we were off to home to chilli and relax before bed.....

There is no reason for this long and unexpectied break ether. The again this is a run down for what has been happening for the last few days...

I have been really busy with work lately. We have be been getting a lot of tours in and they are crazy people from all over the place. With tours going in and out of the hotel and the No. of people staying at the Royal York Right now is a lot better than this time last year. Summerlicious is now over but during that 2 wek period it was crazy busy. With a 3 course lunch for only $20 and 3 cours dinner for $30 its a great deal.

I also have started to work part time with an old co-worker from the Royal York Hotel. He is a Sous Chef and needs help from time to time when he is raelly busy. It's a great little on the side job am lovin it.

Jen and i are doing well we have been busy running around and trying to get suff done. We havn't even had the time to just chill together and watch a movie. We have both been really busy. I will be chillin with her on Wednesday night, maybe we could watch a movie or somthing... Or just relax would be Great 2! Last week we did go up to see her mother and father in Linsay. It was her mothers birthday and it was a blast. We had dinner and the took a look at her new car which she got for her Birthday. She got a 2005 BMW Z4 Roadster! Is that not a sweet ride or what, then she acctually let me take it out for a rid back to there place in Balsam lake. It is a very very fast ride!

I have also been chilli and hanging with my Bro on the weekends too. He has been doing great and lovin the open road.

I know the hotel at which i work is only a block away, but i got soked just the same. By the time i got to go home today my cloths were still wet, well damp anyway. The were cold and now i am at home and in some nice dry cloths.

I am still fighting this cold and am feeling much better and hope that it will clear up soon.

I talked to Trucker JJ and he was saying that today he will be heading to Pennsylvania with a load. I told him that when he is back in town we could go to Hooters and get some food. Last week i was out to lunch with Tom and I had this Chicken sandwich which was amazing! It was like a chicken wing but on a bun with no bone. So i want to go back soon. They were good eh Tom?
