Laundry Day

This morning I threw my bedsheets in the washer as it due time for some cleaning.  After a nice cold cycle with a cap of Era (Chuck Norris approved!) I took out the sheets, but when I was doing so I heard a metallic sound coming from the bottom of the washer.  It thought maybe it was a coin, but when I looked inside I pulled out a .22 caliber round.

When Cody was back home in Moyie during Thanksgiving he was outside and found the bullet on the ground.  He put it in his pocket and then forgot about it.  He then washed those pants and the bullet fell out in the wash.  I wonder what would happen if the bullet made it in the dryer?  Would the heat set it off?  Would the entire house go up in a fireball?  Somebody e-mail the Mythbusters!  Just a reminder to empty your pockets before you do your laundry.

Haha, doody...

As part of Logan's birthday present I bought him a couple packages of Topps' Wacky Packages from the comic book store.  They weren't quite as funny as I remember them, but there were a few decent ones especially the Call of Duty parody sticker.

Yeah, a poop joke! 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo.....

I forgot my pogo stick in Cranbrook! :-(

Willie!

I did get to see Willie today and we ate lunch at Wendy's.  That might not seem like a big deal, but I haven't eaten at the Cranbrook Wendy's and now that I have I can cross that off my bucket list.  Afterwards we drove up to Kimberly again to check out the thrift stores and we went to the Hospital Aux(?) off the Platzl.  Turns out it was closed even though on the sign it said it was open on Mondays from 11am to 3pm.  WTH?!  Last time I was back we went there on Monday and it was open, but this time they screwed us.  We drove all that way for nothing!   Or did we?

"These aren't the droids you're looking for."

When we were walking back to the truck I spotted a fire hydrant that was painted just like R2-D2 and since we had driven all that way we had to leave with something.  I took a picture of R2 and Willie doing his best C-3PO impression and he nailed it!

Once back in Cranbrook we stopped at the Tamarack Mall, not to go the mall and check out the swanky new Bulk Barn, but to hang out in the parking lot and pogo.

I think you may recognize that pogo stick!  Making that gif was a bit of a pain as I kept fiddling around with it trying to get it perfect, but in the end I gave up and said "Good enough."  Even though that pogo stick is old and definitely worn, it's surprisingly fun.

We did have a couple more cool finds, but those will be posts for later, so look forward to being mildly entertained by those.  I'm off to relax because it's going to snow 5-15 cm in Calgary and Southern Alberta overnight and tomorrow and it's currently snowing here in Cranbrook.  The drive back tomorrow looks like it's going to suck.

The good old days???

Because absolutely nobody demanded it , it's back and even more old schoolier than ever!  I have about three different boxes with pictures in them in my parent's basement.  While looking for one box of pictures I found a different box of pictures.  Here are few of those pictures and for some reason they are mostly of Cam.

I know I tucked my shirt in only for comedic purposes.  It worked! Also, those shorts (Cam & Joe) are ridonkulous!

I completely forgot we had picture ID at Parkland.  What's the point?

Cam luvs kittens.

 Cam throws down!

More Cam?  This is getting weird.

Potatoes 4 sale

Did I mention that I'm back in Cranbrook?  It was my mom's birthday this week and next week it is Logan's birthday so I came home in the middle of them so we could celebrate both.  I was gonna post this last night, but it got bumped by Cam's Finish picture.  It was better and funnier (yeah, Cam looks funny!) so I put it up instead.

I drove back to Cranbrook on Thursday and the drive was pretty mellow.  The roads weren't very busy, so it was smooth sailing.  That was until I got to Cranbrook!  They are doing road construction from the edge of town to the Fernie/Fairmont junction.  I guess it was planned a while ago, but they just decided to start on Monday, typical Cranbrook.  What happens when/if it gets cold?  They can't be paving when it's cold.  They are working, but it looked a bit unorganized, but that's probably because of the ass clowns from Kelowna doing it.

So I drive into town and I'm going down Victoria and there is a sign of the corner on of the vacant lot beside the Save On Foods area.  It's on red paper, handwritten and reads "Potatoes 4 sale" and just off that side road there is a big trailer full of potatoes and some guy just selling them.  I know when I buy potatoes I always get them from some guy's trailer in a vacant lot.  Anything bought in a vacant lot is a quality product.  Then I'm driving up to my parent's place and there is some guy walking down the road dressed in full body suit like those guys from the Canucks games.

His suit was all black and he was wearing shorts, a jacket and a hat, but still...????  On top of that I was at Safeway later and some people were getting movies from the Red Box kiosk.  WTH Cranbrook?!

I didn't do too much today and just checked out the thrift stores.  I saw so much cool stuff I couldn't decide what to get.

I thought this thing would be strictly for ladies, but that's clearly a dude on the box and it's on his head?  I'm confused.

Everybody pogo!!

A box of plums?

I also got an e-mail from Willie as I will probably be seeing him later on at some point.  I got his e-mail just after 11am this morning and he was just going to bed.  He had just gotten back from waiting in line to get Tragically Hip tickets.  I guess some people waited over night for tickets and some guy even came from Calgary to get in line at 4am.  I could see Willie doing that as he did wait in line overnight to see the Phantom Menace.  I'm glad I never did that because I would've been pretty pissed afterwards.

That's it for now and I'll keep you posted if anything cool or exciting happens.  Like that'll happen!

Viva La Revolucion

Looks like Cam has taken up arms in the Finish Revolution.  I can't believe how that filthy dish turned sparkling white in only 10 minutes with the food stain busting power of Finish, the diamond standard of dishwashing.  When I do my dishes in the sink by hand it usually takes me at least three hours.  I wish I had a dishwasher.  Stay tuned for more hilarious hijinks from Cam and Cara in the next few days.

Blowin' in the wind

I was going to write a post Monday night, but then I said "I'll do it Tuesday."  Then along came Tuesday and I was like, "I don't wanna.  I'm lazy."  I will do a post, but since I'm lazy it'll be something easy like just posting a dumb picture. 

"Dumb picture"

I bought some new socks at Winners because I liked the camo-ish design on them.  It wasn't until I was standing in line that I noticed the sticker on them saying they were made with 100% wind power.  And it wasn't until I got home that I noticed that they are a limited edition benefiting Architecture For Humanity.  Man, if I knew they were granola type hipster socks I never would've bought them.  The cheap sweat shop made socks are so much more comfortable.  To make matters even worse was when I actually looked at the pattern it's just a bunch of lame whales.  I want a pair of socks with guns on them.
