Post time!
I guess the last time I posted, I hadn't even moved yet, huh?
Well I have moved. Back to me mum's for a time.
Mom's in New York, but possibly coming back soon. So it's just me and her boyfriend.
We get along well.
We chat and make booze together. He also likes that I've helped to gather enough gumption to get some stuff done around our mess of a house.
Today we hauled out a bunch of wine bottles mom had saved up from when she wanted to home brew more wine and would not let us get rid of for the longest time. I set some aside for my latest creation and we took the rest in for refund. We made $30! Happy mothers day mom!
I have a girlfriend. She's a cute little small town girl who tries to be all fancy and glamorous in the big city, but really she's my little hick, and that's hot.
A few weekends back we went back to her small home town ( Same home town as Avril Lavigne) There was a big dinner at the Legion so I went in and made a nice big impression on everybody. My beer of choice was Labatt 50, which only two other people at the legion, and possibly in the whole town drink, one was the old WW2 vet the other was the spry old woman who organized the banquet. I must have had four or five between 6-10
Was a lot of fun. We tried to go to the last bar in town other than the Legion afterward, but it was full of bikers and I made the mistake of drinking a Molson. So we took another fixed rate cab ride back to the hotel.
Last weekend mom came back for a visit, she drove us out to the other end of town. I needed to purchase a large quantity of honey for my next batch of mead.
I heard of this little natural foods store that sold some so I checked it out in hopes it would be local.
Sure enough it was. I wanted 15lbs of it. She didn't have that much in the bucket behind the cash so she checked the back. She had a 14kg bucket, and wasn't sure how she'd go about dispensing half of it without giving me a lot of containers, so I said I'd take the whole bucket.
14kg of honey for $80, that's two batches of mead with a bit of extra honey in each too!
Thats less than I paid at Costco and it's local.
Next day we got that on the brew but the yeast has been a little lazy it seems, we're gonna get some heat belts for the primary fermentation, warm them up a bit.
I spent most of this weekend preparing for my yard sale which promises to be a big event. I've made a big facebook event posting, gonna get the word out. Hopefully make some extra dough.
My trip out west has been set back from my previous ETA. I think it's going to be September at this point. But there's a couple sucky things happening lately.
First off, girlfriend has freaked me out a bit, she seems to think she might be pregnant.
It's highly unlikely, she's on birth control and I use condoms every time. But she's been feeling funny lately, much of which I would attribute to side effects of the new birth control she's only been on for three months but some of what she's feeling she doesn't think is associated with that.
Like I said, unlikely but it's her body and if she thinks something's wrong it's enough to make me worry. won't be able to get an answer for another week, and possibly a bit longer for a definite answer.
She said she's willing to have an abortion if it comes to that. She doesn't want me to have to give up on my traveling and she couldn't support a kid right now. So if she's willing to put her self through that, I'm willing to pay for it. But it sure will be a relief to my wallet if she's not.
The rest of what's happening doesn't suck so much, it just makes me not want to leave yet.
First off, the guy who's family owns the sandpits where we used to play airsoft is coming back to town. Games are probably gonna start up out there again and it might not be until the end of the summer. Which likely means I'll get one game in before I go.
Also I'm making some connections and I'd like to go hunting this year.
But I really want to be in BC in September to help my sis with her movie.
Soooo I might take a preliminary trip out there using my two weeks vacation I'll have come September. Then maybe I'll come back, hunt, and see how the rest of my connections are working out. Like the mining camp or friends in Alberta.
Oh well. I gotta go to bed. Work tomorrow. I'll try to keep up posts here. I've hardly touched this site since I moved. I doubt I'll make Gala. But maybe once I move somewhere a little more populated I'll be able to get more involved with the groups.
Nighty all!
