After a day and a half I've finally caught up to my emails! http://amplify.com/u/bkmnw

After 6 sheets of lint roller, my pants are finally fur free! Got to love cats. http://amplify.com/u/bkmcx

So this is it, Halloween weekend is here! I can't believe that October is pretty much over. The good news is we avoided the dreaded "Weather Bomb". When did a bit of wind, snow and rain become a "Weather Bomb"? Back in my day, (man, I sound old when I say that) unless we got more then 20cm of snow it was called "snow", but in this day of "Alerts" we have to dramatize everything so people will pay attention. Here's an idea Weather Network, don't put he Alert Status up to RED unless we are going to get 100km/hour winds, more than 20cm of now in 20 hours and more than half a months rain in day. Of course, if they did that they wouldn't have anything to fill the 24 hour of TV programing with. Guess what we got here in Ottawa from this "Weather Bomb" - nothing, it was a little windy, it clouded over, a bit of rain fell and that was it. It was nothing more than any other October day.

This day in History:

New House

 

So here is a picture of Tracy standing out in front of our new lot, no house yet but I did drive by earlier this week and the lot has been clear cut.  We also got an email for our first upgrades! OK, OK it’s just whether or not we want a rough in for a bathroom in the basement. Hey it’s a start!

Buying a New Home

So we are buying a new home, my wife and I. I’m thinking this might make good blog material. We are buying from Phoenix Homes, and are hoping that the hole process and end result turns out good. We’ve read a lot of reviews on Phoenix and they are mixed reviews, some good, some bad, but then all the reviews on all the home builders seemed to be mixed. Anyway, I’ll be tracking the whole home building process here in my blog.
