The dude who is too cool for words turns 19 today!
You’ve grown into quite a fine young man and your mother and I couldn’t be prouder.
Happy Birthday, Garrett! Hope it’s a great day for you!

Halifax Airport. My flight arrived at 1:45 and by 2:05 I had been end to end… twice. They’ve given the place a little bit of a facelift since I was last here, but it’s still not a place that can keep you entertained enough to pass a five hour layover without at least one heavy sigh. A smoked turkey club and some waffle fries can only take up so much time.
Heavy sigh.
While passing by one of the flight information boards, I noticed the following:
That’s my flight. AC8778 to St. John’s… delayed. Heavy sigh. A quick check with the information counter and I was told that the flight really isn’t delayed. The airport authority just can’t get the board information right.
Interesting. I hope my luggage makes it outta here.
Googled On GoogleMaps!

A couple of months ago I posted that I noticed a GoogleMaps car recording the area of Newfoundland that I was vacationing in. Well I noticed a CBC.ca news article today reporting that the pictures from that area were published.
In their words:
Street View is an online application that provides a 360-degree ground-level view of cities, compiled from photos taken by Google. The company has been collecting images of Canadian cities since 2007, with the help of vehicles that drive through neighbourhoods with cameras mounted on them.
I checked out the area on GoogleMaps and sure enough, I found myself on there, out in the driveway rifling through the back of my truck. I created a little slideshow of what I found for your amusement.

Recently I was fortunate enough to be invited to a promotional event put off by a local information technology services vendor (Bulletproof Solutions) partnered with Cisco. They had rented a local racing oval and secured a couple of racecars and, you guessed it, I got to drive one!
It was quite a rush to say the least! Check out the photos in the stack below. Click to see more.

Tonight we had quite a little thunderstorm here in the greater Moncton area.
Donna and I decided we were heading to Costco and the skies looked a little ominous. While we were in Costco the storm hit. You could hear the rain and hail pound on the metal roof of the building. As we headed toward the checkouts, Donna asked if I would go get the vehicle and bring it closer to the door. I headed toward the door and had to force my way past all the other customers who wouldn’t even step outside. “What are you all made of? Sugar? What’s a little rain?” Well, I stepped outside and got pummeled by rain drops the size of my fists. I ran to our vehicle only to discover I was not only at the wrong vehicle, I was past my ankles in water. 
When I finally got to our vehicle I was soaked completely to the skin. I was outside maybe 30 seconds.
When we got home we discovered quite an accumulation of pea-sized hailstones all over our deck. No damage, but pretty cool to see.
We spent the next couple of hours playing cards and listening to thunder.
