I bet we could play Jingle bells….
Snowshoeing for 5 hours???
Does that sound like fun? Might you like a high of minus 20 thrown in with that?
Sunday-Monday this week the Golden Boys go Yurting in Algonquin park. it shall be cold!
A little winter soccer, some snowshoeing, a bit of poker…the usual guy stuff…this all done at below ball freez- ing temperatures…and I’m not talking about Nike world league balls either…
Yesterday was a day of recovery, Wednesday night poker may have been a moment of weakness. There was in fact a late night blog after Wednesday night poker but although I had a few beers I still had the presence of mind to have the editor in chief review the post…
This is what made it through…………………………………………………………
A late night man blog…the first! I’m normally refining my posts some what. and I will tonight, a wee bit less.
Half way past midnight, lost at poker.
A couple of beers, 2 wee scotches before poker……a beer, 4 – 7 pump tracksuits and a yager during… No luck for me…not playing cards at all really, blowing off steam… a.k.a life. a.k.a stress
Diet? No… I’ve had wings, flings, pizza and cookies…too many of each. Shall we weigh in…no way! But I had fun, a necessary evil…I could find another, the good book…a meeting of some sort. but a group therapy session over
a few drinks and a game of cards seems fitting…and look. it works!
Conversations at the table includes the man blog of course, the midgetmax, yurting, teachers, gov workers, furnaces, how boring it is when your wife and kids are away, sexuality, fuel economy, women’s tennis, rich friends,
poverty, fast cars, fat dogs, football…we run the gamut…
Parker is drinking his first beer tonight after 20 plus days, not with us…but he is at it somewhere. Beagle is at the table…flings and all. He only had one single itty bitty cookie though, I saved him from 11 out of the dozen!
maybe a trip to the midgetmax, it’s 24 hours on Wednesday…let’s see how they deal with cleaning up that mess! Maybe another time.
————several bits edited here———————————— ——- The Quote of the Day (or night…or morning):
I keep thinking I’m a grown up, but I’m not. LA Story
My all time favourite movie, A hundred perfect quotes about life, love and happiness await you in this 90 min- utes
What else do I have but….Cheerio……….
………………………………………………………………….. .
That does not count as the quote of today…That was yesterday at 3 am’s quote of the day. See, drunk Vic isn’t that much stupider than sober Vic!
No weigh in Until Tuesday morning, after the camping weekend. There is a slim chance I get frostbite of the leg and it requires removal…I will then weigh in at a new low! But I do enjoy having the second leg at this time…
Parker is posting photos of the enjoyment of beer…he is off his shakes until Tuesday…and Beagle…his vacation is getting closer so he will have to ramp up the starvation.
On Tuesday will I really start dieting? Geezus.
My kind of snowshoeing
There will be some exercise this weekend, with the snowshoeing and the soccer…but I’m sure there will be plenty of beer and deep fried food too! We will see how that works out in the end for Parker, I’m betting some of
that solid food shows up on the scale on Tuesday!
Me…It’ll be gobble as usual since I have been stuffing just about whatever I want in my face over the past 3 weeks while I’ve been ’dieting’.
You know…it’s really cold….really. Over cards on Wednesday we were trying to guess the heat source in one of these Yurts…it can’t be wood can it? It’s too risky for the Government to rent out tents with woodstoves…electric? I mean there is a heat source in these things right? That or I guess I’m sleeping in the truck…I can’t say I’ll be cartwheeling all the way up to this camping weekend, but the boys have been doing it every year…crazy b@st@rds!
Today I’ll be trying to find the warmest gloves possible…maybe some heated underwear! Since Dr. Weiss got his hands on me I don’t think heated underwear are much of a risk…so gloves, a sleeping bag, 24 beers, some sort of warming liquor…a bit of scotch I suppose…something to pack a lunch???a few snacks…Gone for 2 days 5 minutes outside of civilization may seem daunting to some but I think I’ll survive…besides, what’s 5 minutes…
Quote of the Day:
[as they walk to the restaurant, a loud clanging sound is heard] Harris: What’s that clanging sound?
Roland: It’s a nuisance. It’s my damn testicles. Another from LA Story…now come on…that’s me after 3 hours of soccer at -20. Keep it sunny side up folks……………
