Camping with the Devans (Friday night)

Kim and I were invited by Bryan and Michele to visit them at their family's cabin for the weekend. Bob and Lisa invited all of us to visit them during their honeymoon at Sherkston which was a block away.

It's a good thing that we were supposed to be relaxing this weekend, because I needed it after this past week. It took me almost until the time that we got to the Peace Bridge to stop talking like Blurr (John Moshita). I left work at 3:30 managed to get some cigars from Virgil, go to the mall and buy my nephew a game, bought Kim a "Build a Bear" which looks like me so she doesn't miss me too much while I am at work 24 / 7 over the next two weeks, get stuff from Dick's sporting goods, pack my crap, talk to my parents and go to Kim's so that we could get to the cabin before 7.

I made it from the Galleria Mall to my front door in 15 minutes. Chris, it felt like one of the old days in the Battle Wagon.

The first thing I gotta say is, holy crap, was that some GREAT food. I easily gained a couple of pounds (sorry, kilos) this weekend.

We had Ribs and Chicken Friday night and some incredible tuna salad. (Not a huge fan of tuna salad normally which is why this was so damn good.)

After dinner, we just hung out while waiting for the stupid airmattress that I bought to get inflated. It took 3 and a half hours, I shit you not...

Bob and Lisa had company so Michele and Bryan, Kim and I went to Clifton Hill which just kicked ass. Everyone wanted to make sure that I was able to get some Cuban cigars while I was there which was cool. I picked up 4 cigars, two Bolivar #2's and two Montecristos. The Montecristo was great, it's just too bad that the Bolivars sucked (sorry about that, Chuck).

Kim, Lisa, Bob, Michele and Bryan, I am telling you guys this now...

I want to go back to Clifton Hill.

I want to go in one of those haunted places this fall. Kim thought that I was being sarcastic about being there at first and that I didn't like it. It's probably as close to Vegas as I'm ever gonna get. (Not that it's even close to what Vegas is like, it's just a bit showier than Toronto is.)

Here are some of the pictures that we took.

This one is from "The GREAT Canadian Miiidwaaaay"


Yes, I am completely sober in this picture (just don't ask)...


"And that's the bottom line, cause Stone Cold Scott said so...."



This was from the Hershey store, home of the thickest Milkshake ever. (It puts Wendy's Frosty to shame.)
