Luckiest People On Earth

HART (1-800-HART) — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 12:30:47 +0000

I found a lucky quarter yesterday during my walk around the neighborhood. Had I not bent down to pick it up I probably wouldn’t have been able to afford the new Chocolate Syrup flavor shot in my Tim Horton’s Coffee later that afternoon~ (it now costs $2.06 CDN for an extra large coffee with a flavor shot).

Well … you will probably want to chew your nails while watching these videos and shout at the screen like I did … you know … WOW! .. WOAH!! NO WAY!!! .. HOLY CRAP!!!! … WHAT WAS THAT GUY THINKING!!! … and so on.

My New Crocs Are Here! My New Crocs Are Here!

HART (1-800-HART) — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 18:14:13 +0000

Yes .. I am excited! I have been wearing CROCS since July 2006. I rarely wear socks with these Crocs (only if it’s below -25c or snowing outside), and since I’ve been wearing crocs I stopped having the need to wear custom molded orthotics in my shoes. I’ve had basically 3 styles of CROCS in the past 3-3/4 years .. the ordinary beach crocs, the all-terrain year round crocs (see below) and those beach crocs without the holes (see below), with the latter being my “house crocs”. I wear the beach crocs outside from spring to fall and periodically go out and just buy replacements when the underside tread is worn.

WANTING MORE CROCS

The All-Terrain crocs were purchased during XMAS 2006 and starting to wear down. Even though I only wear them during the winters, there was a hole in the back heal, and treads were starting to get worn down and it was slippery on ice, and even the inside mold was starting to wear down from me wearing it all the time.

My wife is an active runner and has been running in half-marathons for a year now .. and I will be participating in the annual Manitoba Marathon here in June 2010 – for the 10k walk. I need good walking shoes! My runners, that I use at the gym is okay on the treadmill, while I’m walking on the treadmill, but because there are no orthotics inside them my feet gets sore after a while. I tried putting gel packs inside, but all they did was push my foot up inside the runner and affect the circulation of my large, swollen feet!

I NEED TO FIND CROC WALKING SHOES!!

I went to the Crocs Site .. and found what I want and started to search all of Winnipeg for them, but couldn’t find them .. (okay .. I just called two places that I know who sells them and they didn’t know where to get them). Naturally … I went to look online.

LOOKING FOR CROCS – April 5, 2010

As I mentioned on my Google Buzz (feel free to add me) .. I wanted to order crocs online for certain models that I was unable to find here in Winnipeg. Unfortunately, the Crocs Online does not ship to Canada. I was a little miffed, but decided to locate them on Facebook. Fortunately .. they do respond to questions on their Facebook wall

BUYING CROCS – April 6, 2010

I was quite happy. Of all the suggested online stores, only one met my needs … Shoebuy.com. Firstly, it had men shoe sizes larger than size 7 … and it accepts Paypal for payment! I found, and ordered three items from them. At time of checkout, if you register with them – you get an extra 10% discount off the prices! I was excited, and BUZZED this …

PURCHASED: TRAILBREAK CROCS

I purchased these as a test (never tried them before) for $35.95 USD less 10$ = $32.36 USD for 3-pack

DELIVERY VIA DHL

The total cost was $121.18 USD plus $23.00 USD international shipping fees for a grand total of $144.18 USD. According to the Bank of Canada … that’s pretty much PAR and same in CDN Dollars.

I was quite disappointed when I received a phone message this morning from DHL stating that they tried to deliver my package yesterday, but couldn’t get into the apartment block. If I still wanted them to deliver the package, they could do it next week on Monday or Tuesday .. as long as I give them the apartment code for entry.

Bastards! I live in a townhouse and there is no apartment on my street at all. I had to waste an hour this morning driving down to their distribution center and picking it up. There were importing and custom fees (and GST) in the amount of $27.51 CDN. So .. pretty much my total for a new pair of walking shoes and a new pair of everyday shoes plus some socks for $171.70 CDN. Yeah … it’s a lot however, I know some other people that buy shoes costing that much (or even running shoes) a few times a year! These will last me a few years I figure. I’ll probably go back in the fall and order a third pair – winterized shoes or boots without the holes in ‘em … I saw a few models today, but maybe there will be new designs in the fall.

Here are pictures that I took this morning

I added comments, if you want to just let your mouse hover over the images ..

Since my other computer crashed in December and my MusicMatch .. I have been listening to my wife’s RUNNING SONGS playlist and random DJ on iTunes … This song’s catchy

Code? I Don’t Need No Stinking Code!!

HART (1-800-HART) — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 17:15:35 +0000

OK- I might get over the outlet in the shower. But I will not accept the toilet paper holder IN the shower.

When the power company told its crew to run electricity to this house, I'm sure they didn't mean to just stick all the wires through a hole in the roof!

Pretty safe isn't it? I mean the hot lead is at least a quarter inch from a metal oil pipe and it is almost 48 inches off the ground so children won't touch it...

Yes- go ahead and connect the dryer vent to the water heater flue.

? No comment ?

The county inspector had JUST signed off on it. Said it was all he could do since it was a remodel.

If you can't bend metal conduit, just use a few extra junction boxes!

You know you're a redneck HVAC tech when you use a chew can for a junction box.

When you do not have an outlet box, use a Nike box. Just do it!

The Main load, Acetone, Grits, and Tool Storage Panel ..

Screw that I-beam- just cut it. That is the framer's problem.

Instead of flashing the penetrations, install buckets with pipes under the drips.

....shower and ceiling fan in master bath.... Hmm.where does the wire go and how much glue did he use to stick that thing there?

The ad listed the house with a Whole House Attic Fan. Professionally installed no doubt.

If you can vent ONE bathroom exhaust then you certainly vent THREE!

I paid an electrician to do it! - uh huh. Sure you did.

Yeah- it said to use 4- 1/2 bolts. I think these nails out of my nail gun will do.

Flashing!? We don't need no stinking flashing!

Look- I had 18 inches of pipe and this bag of couplers...

I think this goes to a ceiling fan mounted on the ceiling of a bathroom on the other side of this wall. Maybe.

Supply Air, meet Return Air.

acϟdc- Baby Please Don’t Go (Bon Scott as a schoolgirl 1975 HQ) -ɔpϟɔɐ

HART (1-800-HART) — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 10:49:20 +0000

I’ve probably watched this about 25 times since I first saw it on Blip.fm … and not just because Bon Scott is dressed as a schoolgirl … I’m a big fan of their live performances and just had to immortalize it in here (that is, until google removes it of course! lol)

* From YouTube Description (Lyric)

Baby please don’t go
Baby please don’t go
Baby please don’t go down to New Orleans
You know I love you so
Baby please don’t go

When the man done gone
When the man done gone
When the man done gone down the county farm
He got the shackles on
Baby please don’t go
Don’t leave me

I’ll be a dog
I’ll be a dog woah
I’ll be a dog kiss your way down here
When you walk along
Baby please don’t go

Baby please don’t go
Baby please don’t go
Baby please don’t go down to New Orleans
You know I love you so
Baby please don’t go

No baby please don’t leave me
Why must you go away and do this to me baby
I wanna suffer for you, suffer, suffer
Oh baby please dont go
No!

Baby, baby, baby, please don’t go, please dont go
Dont go and leave me, please don’t go
Baby, humm, baby, ahah
Oh dont go, no don’t go
Oh don’t go, no don’t go
Ah don’t go, don’t go so slow
Oh don’t go, no don’t go

Why must you leave me lying on my back
Going across left side of the track
Found yourself a new man I know
So baby please don’t go
Baby please don’t go

No no no no
Oh please, please don’t leave me
I don’t want to be left alone baby
Ah don’t go, don’t go, don’t go
No!

Filming of Season 20 started on August 9th and ended on September 16th, one day before Season 19 started to air on television last fall.

CAST: Benjamin ”Coach” Wade, Courtney Yates, Amanda Kimmel, Rob Mariano, Cirie Fields, Rupert Boneham, Stephenie LaGrossa, Colby Donaldson, Tyson Apostol, Jessica ”Sugar” Kiper, James ”J.T” Thomas Jr., Danielle DiLorenzo, Sandra Diaz (Top Row, Left to Right), James Clement, Parvati Shallow, Russell Hantz, Candice Woodcock, Tom Westman, Jerri Manthey and Randy Bailey (Bottom Row, Left to Right) are the 20 returning castaways set to compete in SURVIVOR: HEROES VS.
