January: New Years was good
February: another valentines alone (but hanging with family)
March: spring came and went. 
April: birthday, good birthday
May: within the first or two weeks of May my dad had gone out to Banff to ski fir a few days. Me and traci tried to meet up with dad but got swamped with water in the house, it was really pouring down. Had to vacuum it all out and stuff..

June: lots of things that happened in June and one incident I dont want to talk about. But on the good side we snagged one of the last few Canada 150 flags off the shells before July 1st 

Bluejays game day before Canada day, was home by 3am  an slept in till like 11:30

Bought a bike, somewhere in June or July spent each day biking. 



July: Canada day, was a sleep day as we had come from the bjays game the night before ^^.

August:somewhere in between August and November I spent everyday on the bike, unlike when it rained. When I couldn't get out and bike

September: more biking and chores. 
We cleared the basement when Ryan and Jess visited,


October:more biking and chores
November:putting away bikes, and getting ready for winter.
December. Xmas came and went..




Have a great holiday time and hope your 2018 turns out well



1/21/2017

were into 2017 by a bit

i am so sorry to have left you in the dust my 2-3 followers that i have. I havent been that busy i just have other ways to blog such as tumblr which makes me wonder how the heck i have been able to stay here and makes me think i should leave this blog because i have more blog followers there than i do here. Im still thinking there are lots of viewers here but maybe more there? i really dont want to move this blog or close it.

I started this blog back in 2004 or so. I left it unused and then in 2006 found a real name for it and called it livinginbanffnow.blogspot.com and used it as an active daily dose to talk about the town and then when i decided to move home id call it living in ontario now and its been like that since 2008 or so.

I dont think i am gonna close down my blog (this one most likely) ill just add that you can see more up to date blogs on tumblr. I think its darrenvox.tumblr.com and its got some great posts there and i stated that in the last half of 2015 or start of 2016 and i hoped to blog as much as possible


thanks for viewing this blog over the years, even if you followed. And what i miss so much about the blogging thing is the MEME's like the 20 things that are in youre room or where are you? and stuff

anyways ill talk to you all later

12/02/2016

why the long time?

it seems as if my living in ontario blog needs some updates. I am so sorry i haven't updated  lately, its either because im busy or not busy and i havent had alot of time or have forgotten.

Whats new you ask? not much. Im keeping busy and enjoying the end of the year,  as we inch ckoser to the last day of the year. This year isnt gonna be the best for me, i lost my mother 9 months ago. Sure my days are better and happier but any thoughts or her or when i think of times when mom was there i cry.

What i just said isnt new or big, that happens to everyone whos lost someone, wether through an accident or a heart attack etc. Its all matters of the heart that when someone dies, sure you will cry and sure you will have good days after and the thing is youull never stop thinking of him/her in a sense like you and someone else over a loved one dying.

There are times though that catch me off guard, when i see a pic on a computer screen that shows mom and i doing something like hearing the news that i was gonna graduate, a few years ago, still makes me cry, thats not new, we all do. We just dont cry whole heartedly like we did the moment i heard the news.

So that in conclusion is whats going on here in ontario, theres no snow here yet and i dont know when it will come, last year it was 12 degrees and warm and we bbqd from the front deck as we listened to christmas songs, still then mom was with us that time!!

anyways theres an update for this blog 

 

5/17/2016

sorry no updates...

i've been busy on other thugs and totally forgot about the blog and thought id update you all on whats been going on!!

After my mom passed (i hope you have all heard that my mom passed away by now) and its been hard but not that hard.. i just had one of those days where it hits you again. I was on dads computer beacause i was flying on my computer...and while chatting on my tablet to someone i looked up and saw a photo of mom on some beach and i teared up...i still beilive that any day after someone dies its very sad but nearly 2 months into  it, ive moved on but still have here in my thoughts once and a while...they'll never go away, but that's a good thing!!

Doing lots of grass cutting here and there, there are areas i cant get to because of mud and the old deck sitting there since last september or so... but i start now with the sold soccer field then move to the orchard and i then go do front yard and then i move to gangway and then im pretty well done. im noticing how the new cutter  has such a wide berth to it compared to the orange and white mower we had. Those cutters were small and took a loger cutting time but this one is huge i inly need like 3 or 4 swaths to cut the soccerfiled etc!! (except for the orchard)

As of this moment im flying for delta in A319 from MTPP to KATL #FS2004

i havent updated where i have been on my flightsim blog so im going to that one shortly..


Take Care

van city travels back in may

In may of this year we, mom and dad and i went to vancouver. We flew to clagary, we stayed there and ahd a tims coffe and stuff (i took out my camera and took a few photos of the gates outside woth westjet 737s taxiing along and then on to vancouver. During the taxi out to runway 34 i think there was an unusual a319 that not seen alot, it was the TCA a319 and it took off ahead of us at calgary and landed ahead of us at well you giessed it vancouver....and then we passed the air north 737-200 (havent seen those around for 8 yrs+)  Our plan was to go to whistler for the afternoon and maybe night. So we got the rental car (ford explorer or something) and drove north on the highway 99, and headed for whistler

on the way there we almost got on the ferry and told the guy we got on the wrong eit and it took us to the ferry and we asked what we do in such instances and he said just take a right where the cars are and keep going to the gate...gate opens and we are back on highway to whistler...so after 3.5 hours on a plane and a 2.5 hours flight to vancouver wchich ould have flown right over my old neck of the woods. After sitting for a while and not eating much more than lot of coke and pretzels our stomachs needed some more sustanance so we stopped at a town called horsehoe bay and almost got lost trying to find the town so we asked some stranger how to get into the town. and she said turn around  and go back to some street (we were off the highway at that point) and after we asked her for directions we asked if she was always from this area and she said ive been living here most of my life but i was born and raised in a small town called shakespeare ontario (my jaw nearly dropped)

so we went into the town of horshoe bay and  went and watched the ferries leave and come back and everyone was feeling hingry so we went to this place called C Lovers and its a fish and chip spot. we ate some fish and then heaed to the car and kept driving...we stopped at a place called shannon falls. stopped for a few minutes and then kept going and didnt stop again for another 2.5 hours.

Arrived in veeestler (strong german accent needed for that word). drove to ski hill to see what it was like , mom and dad was there in like 1972 or somthing like that. But i t was cool. skiers still on the hill. then headed back to the hotel and signed in and looked at the room and mom and dad  went down to get some liqour or wine etc...and i watched tv and wasnt really interested in going anywhere so i was a litte homesick and jetlagged so i sat down and watched some news...


net morning we had a plan to go to the ski hill and ride up chairlift for a tour of the ski lodge at the top, condiitons were favorable for skiing but not for walking up in jeans or ski pants and no hats or warm gloves (good thing that we had the cover of the charlift down...got to the top had some luch...

then headed back down the chairlift and back to the hotel...packed up and drove to our actual place or reason were here and got our bags out and walked to the room and then everything started to get amazing. Instead of getting all my stuff put away or unpacked was awatching all these planes fly over...

and then most of the week dad was away at his conference and i spent most of the days outside walking around the grounds and exploring while keeping my eyes into the sky for planes... i was watching the planes from the window, downstairs by the dragon and other places...had my radio and laptop and flightradar24. so i saw alot of alaska dh4, ACA a319's and md-11, etc etc...

lots of boats, lots of ducks and birds and plenty of chickien fingers at triple-os!!

at the casino i won 10 bucks but if you do the math it wasnt very much...put 5 in get 3 dollars back {2 out) put in a 10dollar bill and get 8 dollars (3 reall dollars)

I met a guy named randy who flies with this virtual buffalo airlines and met up with  him at java jacks and we had some coffe i offered him to buy him some coffe but he said no thanks and bought me and him so tea....(i do have to pay him back sometime). he met my mom and dad and then we took some photos and he left and we left on saturday and headed back to calgary and drove to canmore and stayed with my bro.

went for walks around canmore and banff  and then after the weekend was over we went to calgary airport and dropped the car off and since our flight didnt leave for a few hours we went into the molson brewhouse for lunch and watched some 737's and a319 (no wonder i fell in love with them)

and then we boarded for london and we came home and was different temperatures than it was in banff and all those days in van city...amen!!

next flight/trip to ottawa a few weeks ago!!

4/29/2014

Visting Van City Now

From Crazy Larry in Banff

Plan: To cycle across Canada with Goal Zero Power Solar Panel powering my laptop and phone (Windsor,Ontario > Banff,Alberta) like the movie Forest Gump Style allowing everyone to join in...visiting SkateBoard Parks along the way...talking in schools about making healthier decisions / smart food choices / why every choice counts in life / uplifting and full of humour and high energy - how Cancer can affect many family members and friends(the ups/downs) of Cancer including costs and NEW treatments available = making smarter choices than ever before.

This trip is allowing FULL disclosure of the entire trip via LIVE Web Streaming /GPS LIVE tracking. F.B messages/emails/blog updates/LIVE Video Footage at SkateBoard Parks.
Live Video's/pictures will be made by the kids at SkateBoard Parks for souvenirs of their fun efforts encouraging them to stay away from choosing drugs,drinking and making a difference in society will be and 'can be' the Hallmark of their ways!
NOT just wishing they come in 1st, 2nd,3rd.
Talks that we all can have fun staying healthy will be highlighted with some FUN music.

Meetings with town/city mayors, Fire Chiefs-firemen and women, Principals of schools, teachers, Police, RCMP will allow help me to bridge the gaps of kids/youth connecting with adults that we trust so blindly. Trusting that they will do deeds and doings that are honourable, sound in principle and morally right, and at least for the betterment of our health.
Folks and friends ~ I need to get ELLEN Degeneres TV Show plain and simple.

ELLEN needs to understand how many lives will changed!
I need lots of people to explain to her that with some High Energy Announcing abilities/positive talks about beating Cancer/Keeping kids-youth updated with current knowledge that there is 'much' that they can do as individuals in a forever changing world and with my Custom-made SHURE Axient Announcing System with Custom-made designed Speakers I can impact them even more!!!
Time to harness some goodness and bring out the STAR the lies in each one of us!
Mom's illness will not go unnoticed.
The event name: Today I Ride for You will be for ALL to ride for someone they love,care for,or has past on.
We 'Can' do this;if we come together to help each other.
*** For more information on how you can help Crazy Larry's Today I Ride for You please email him at www.crazylarry.ca
While visiting please feel free to write in what your thoughts are of encouragement towards this paradigm shift about to take place that includes 'you' as individual friends.
Together 'we' make a difference.

the emails that got me famous on interrobang

Hello my name is darren elliott and i am 28, am finishing fanshawe and was emailed on Better The World about someone wanting to interview me about this website called "bettertheworld.com" her name was kristen. She mentioned that if i was avialible i would do a phone call interview which would be ok but i am busy with school work and studying maybe theres an alternative way to approach it, maybe i could drop by tomorrow or next week sometime and do an actual interview. Would that work?? (better use of 3 hours in between classes)
She didnt mention who it was that was going to do the actual interview so i thought id email the writer directly because that may be who does it.
What building is the interrobang out of. I know its based on the FSU so it must be in the SUB building i guess.
this is what she posted on bettertheworld.com


"Hi Darren! This is Kristen from Better The World - thanks for supporting us! A reporter from the Fanshawe newspaper is going to do an article on Better The World and was hoping to speak to a Fanshawe student and get their opinion. Is there any chance you would be open to speaking with her? It would probably just be a quick phone call. If you are interested we would appreciate it! Thanks! Kristen"
Oct 07/09
maybe you know her or know what this is about...
Talk to you soon
Darren Elliott
ps can you pass this on to whoever was interested in knowing more about this, thank you

Have a nice day.
____________________________________________________

What can i say, what a wonderful way to find out how you can change the world by surfing on the inter net, cool huh?.

I found out about better the world at an IT conference in Stratford Ontario, as i am from that area. I thought that this kind of caring for causes was a nice way to go about things. I find that the website is easy to look at and works well with the other stuff that you are interested in and all the causes you support.

There is a school related contest going on for most of ontario i believe and Fanshawe is #14 at the moment. It would be nice to see us being near the top. Lets go Fanshawe lets get some more members (ivanna this would be good for the paper) and get more going on with this website.

This site also works with Facebook, Twitter, Youtube. in getting your word out there in order to change the world. Just sign up today and get started in changing the world. I can all be done with a click.

Thanks

should i have even moved to banff

even though this aint no regular break up, and i should be fully moved on so far. It aint doing anything for my heart. Though my head may have left thinking about her mot of the time, my heart still wishes and longs for this girl who i met some 6 and a half years ago.

I dont know why im on this long road that leads nowhere and i cant seem to get any closure from this i really want to know why she ignored me so then movidng on process wouldnt be so hard and i could actualy move on and find someone to fill that hole/

i really didnt want to end up hating her and wishing and in the end losing her but there we go again just pissing of another girl so that they will never want to see me agian. Isnt that great!! i feel as if im in a re-run of "cant hardly wait"

Por the previous post i can tell that she wants nothing to do with me anmore and thats great, even better but then i start thinking about her again and like ive said before its like im on some jeykll/hyde run and im not really liking it.

The key to fixing this is CLOSURE and when i will probably get it will be 2040 or so...

so im screwed till then!!!

5/15/2012

So how's this?

Thinking about this girl I met out west

Sorry about the delay on this but I've been thinking about this girl I met out west a lot, she really shook my heart and broke it as well. I do t want to dwell on the past too much but this girl is so wonderfull and she's my dream girl, my horoscopes are saying soming about a girl from a recent past and so maybe she still likes me I dunno... Anyways time to update the blog at least... they are still skiing out west so maybe it's time to go skiing out west

The last few winters have been pretty normal with snow on author ground through out the winter but this is just one of those years where the winter is only around on the weekend and this week is supposed to go back to +5 degrees so we will see what happens this weekend coming up and if it snows again...

Brought the iPad over to the hill so I can blog, chat and check things out...I'll test sendings photo to the blog later...

Enjoy

Outside right now

The month so far

Sofar were fighting a war to hope that it stays cold and they can keep making snow over at the ski hill I work at but then mother nature fights back and the sun comes out and were back to square one. Right now a lot of snow has melted after a few days of cold and a day or so full of snowfall. I'm looking out my window and it's bare out there we had about 3 or 4cm of snow and then now it's melting...last night we got tons of rain so that melts the snow... Anyways life is ok, for now...I just wanted to update everyone for this week...I'll update you soon... Bye

blogging again

its been two months since I've blogged and to say the least I'm sorry, ill try to keep more up to date as much as I can..
 
 
things are wrapping up with the aishow season, so for most of what I've done for JAM is done unless we get into some malls to put the photoship  or whatever. I wont give out much info but yesterday we had a great fundraising meeting. We chatted about other things we could do about the calendar sales and stuff. Like I sadi I wont discuss the specifics but after the meeting we all wanted to get some pizza or something. But we decided to go to the Katana Kafe after and it turned out to be quite a nice time to chat with the other members about other things going on.
 
anyways Ill talk to you all soon!!

what other person..

"Ah, emotions. Can't live without 'em, but sometimes, like on the 1st and 2nd, you might wish you could. Well, instead of trying to wish your emotions away as the month begins, do your best to be glad you have them, even if they're a little bit difficult sometimes. After all, they are a sign of health. Not only that, but they are very helpful guides as you navigate this thing called 'life.' Difficulties point you to the places where you might need to do some extra work, or make some changes, or let yourself be yourself more completely. By the highly ambitious 6th and 7th, you're in overdrive. You know what you want and by golly, you are going to get it. Great! Just don't forget to keep working out, while you're go-getting, particularly on the tricky 10th, 11th and 12th. You're a star, the super-shiny 13th and 14th. So sparkle! If you have family (or urban family) obligations on the 20th, 21st or 22nd, fulfill them. It'll be fun. Take your time on the 27th and 28th. After all, you need to focus on the other person. Wrap up the month with more emotions on the 30th. How does that feel?"
 
um...there is no other person at the moment...what do they mean

Its Taken 3 years to make it to this

This photo posted below, taken in 2009 was supposed to be the arrival of two more t-33’s to london. This is where being with the jet aircraft museum began. As tomorrow begins a new day and we start up 346 for an official flight. All the work thats been done with these aircraft id like to thank all the guys in the Jet aircraft museum maintenance division of JAM a big thanks for all your work.

 

Most of all the big things that have happened at Jam was in the  year 2009. Thats when 90% of the aircraft had been flown in. There were times of joy there were times of sadness. Before i took this photo i had been hanging aorund with these guys waiting for two aircraft to leave CPZ3 Mountainview, Ontario and fly to london, they had a short window of a few hours before the clouds moved in or soemthing and they tried and tried but the fix took longer than they thought and so we had to go or leave or whatever. I was finishing off my college degree at the time and the JAM building was where these guys are all standing. Every afternoon when i was done my classes id go to the airport and wouldnt be back untill after 8 or 9 pm as i watched katanas and cessnas and twin pipers.

100_1238

In 2009 at the 1st Doors open i met the current (at the time)London Mayor, Anne Marie Decicco best. This was our official grand opening. I was there early with dad to help set up and to get things ready before dawning the reflective vest to go work the parking lot. I actually guided Mrs Best to where she should park. I would have thought shed have the biggest security force and haver her own bus or limo or other ways of transportation but she didnt and she came with her 1990’s Pontiac Grand Am type car. Anyways I also met the President of the CYXU Airport as he was there to cut the ribbon. Like i said it was the  first offical grand opening and all the ones since then have been there to get more word out/referrals etc to other people that we are there.

We had a few aircraft visitors who came to have a burger and a break in their schedules. 3 Harvards from CHAA in tilsonburg flew in. We had a ryan navion piainted up like a luftwaffe FW-190 (C-FWOL). We also had two russian jets an L-39 #69 and an L-29. It was a fun day…

 

hope tomorrow is as better as that one was

not so busy weekend.

normally the last few weekends in the summer have been very busy for me and my family. Weddings and buck n does, airshows/music festivals and the like. But the last few weeks have been very not busy, and has given me time to chill/swim/listen to music out by the pool and get back to being myself.

this weekend we planned to have my aunt and uncle, their son's roomate or schoolmate from back in the day or something. and their kids to come to have an afternoon lunch of corn and chicken kabobs etc...

they both arrived here at about 2pm yesterday and was happily hanging out by the pool but it eventually turned into a small rainstorm. Usually when i start to see lighting or thunder i dont try to even think about going into a pool. but my neighbors kid decided to stop in on the way home from work and i said sure, lets go swimming (inside my mind i was saying no!!) but we ended up in the pool the whole time the storm was coming through, because there was no lightning. anyways other than that the weekend went off without a hitch. If you saw my post about maybe going to wallaceburg on the 13th, i probably am not going to go!!...its just too far just for 5 or so hours...so i am going to jump ahead of that and prepare to go to kitchener in two weeks for the airshow,  the same weekend as the mopar fest....arrrgggg!!!

in september JAM has the open house and ill be possiblyt working in the beer tent as i have a smart serv certificate.

oh and i bought these incredibly awesome wireless speakers from the source (electronics store) for only $70!!!  they werk wonderfully...anyways that my blog for august 8th 2011..

cheers and have fun!!

wonder who this is?

"Someone in your life is going through some heavy issues that you might not be aware of. This person's recent odd behavior could be leaking into your relationship and subtly -- almost subliminally -- affecting it in a very negative way. Let this person know that you are concerned, and give her or him space to realize the impact this behavior could be having -- don't be hasty with demands to shape up. Your patience and support are needed right now."-Yahoo Horoscopes..
 
wonder who that could be!!!

u2 dream again

last nitghts dream was very weird becuase i was in some tour group or something, i dont remeber being a part of it or doing anything with it but i remember just touring with some choir or school group...were trying to do some rendition of a movie or something, then one of the people playing guitars was playing wildy and ended up going outside for some reason and then some woman followed him and they sat on thier knees, then i was on a bus(the wrong one, because i was trying to find the right bus, as the choir group i was in wasx heading back to the school or the homes, but i missed it and got a bus with people ive never met.And then my vantage point was moved to see this guy walking and he had his right arm streched out with his left arm holing his inner elbow area and then thats when i woke up!!

one the busiest summers on my record

I apologize on the behindness i am at right now but it seems every weekend is busy and i either have airshows or folk fests and weddings. Yesterday we did it all in one day, went to a reception for a wedding of my neighbors that lives around the corner and we went to a buck and oe the same night for my neighbor...and the weekend before i was folk festival selling beer tickets, the weekend before that st thomas airshow. Now as i dont think there are anything big until  kitchener airshow but im sure there are lots of events here and there.

My other reason for posting is that some people at airshows can be brutaly not polite at all at most airshows. They just want to sit cloe by and dont care to knock people over to find the best seat, however on the saturday or sunday show a very nice family whith their young granson and father and grand father noticed i was trying to take shot of the aircraft flying or taxiing, and let me move right next to bob, um i have no idea what is last name is but hes with jam!! anyways as soon as they were gone for the day everybody moded up!!! and it was almost a fight to get the best spot...no one polit about it atg all...and i didt get their names but i will cherish their thoughfulness for years to come...

to that random family thank you!!

7/15/2011

im starting to understand why parents hate their sons for

getting tatoos. obviously some tatoos have an ugly nature to them and are not "clean" as in the idea behind it maybe because of a gang or what not, but if said parents son got a tatoo saying "come home troops" or "we love you canada" or something clean and strong like that their parents would love having this on them or at least let them get it...

7/07/2011

where has the time gone

Well is that time of year again, summer. Its not official yet but it will be soon. Im going to be really busy this year as I have signed up for many shows and have plans to attend weddings. First up is the hamilton show, then I think theres a bit of time untill either the st thomas show is on or the folk festival I don't know.
 
I have been feeling a bit better about things. Im into my 2nd book of the artemis fowl books,well its actually the 3rd installment. The bookstore in st marys person said the arctic incident is the first book but it's the 2nd one so im on the 3rd and I havent read the 1st one yet.
 
oh well ill get to that at some point. Lots of grass cutting this week. We got our massey back but the other 8n is not working so we towed it over to this place just a few minutes drive from here but was a hair raising time as I had to keep my feet on the brake not pushing it but had my feet resting on it incase something were to go wrong.  Nothing went wrong but heck going up the hills was very hard to do as there could be a crash and my eyes were watering and I couldn't stop to wipe them.  But yes it was fun!!
 
Anyways ive been having some banff dreams lately and I don't like them. Someones sending some sort of message to me during my subconsious thoughts should be illegal..
 
anyways sad to see the canucks lose last night.
 
night

reflecting on banff


in the last few days ive been reminiscing about the days that i lived in banff. Seems that some of the things i put in the past are coming back into my day to day things. I dont spend every day in a starbucks but, i do see one every few days and it reminds me of someone. Someone i knew a bit and am thinking of alot these days, not like a "im really like you " thinking more of a "wondering that she is ok" kind of thinking.

I stand my ground on wanting to be with an airplane or to find someone else to talk to etc...

fed up trying to get the drive mowers belt back on?

Well heres what i did today, normally i would call the local garage or get someone to to fix it but i found out all you need to do is raise the lever/mower deck as high as you can without breaking it then get someone to raise the belt and hopefully i should fit back on and you are good as golden

wtf??

Hi Darren! Here is your Daily Single's Horoscope for Tuesday, April 12
Mixing family with dating might seem like a recipe for disaster, but it's not actually such a bad idea to get your relatives in on your love search today. Could it be that your mom's friend's cousin really is the one for you?

how closure should be...

I know that when most people break up its hard and we put the memories in the back of our minds. This really does not solve the problem it prolongs it and makes it so that its not forgotten. What we should be doing for closure should be filling out some sort of legality forms. In these forms you would write as much as you could about what you have wanted to say since the breakup.  After you write all this and the partner fills it out you get a form of emotional closure and a phsyical closure. This would prevent or at least help prevent stalking or Unrequitted love. At least even if there was no love you could at least carry around a piece of legal paper that says you and someone else had a relationship and it lasted for XXX number of years. You broke up because of this or that.  It would allow full closure of sorts.
 
It would help me greatly, to know what I did wrong or what I said or did that made things change for the people who no longer want to talk to me.
 
Does anyone agree?

Just completed a bit of  work on my computer on the insides...i had to look at if the PCI slots are PCI or AGP card slots so that i can tell waht kind i need to upgrade my video card.

2010 in review

about this time every year, i  try to do a wrap up of the big things i did this year.

December=31/ January 1st- went to mark langois's buck and doe, and then closer the the "hour " we went to cobble hills to hang with freinds drink and be merry

January-nothing big

Febuary-Olymipic Week @Cobble. I entered a snow volleyball comptetiton and won a pair of mp3 sunglasses, and a box of mike and ikes. My team of allan brander, matt and me. We won by default.The team we were supposed to play left the hill. Good times.

March-nothing big

April-birthday
21st-went with fundraisig team at JAM to Air Combat Zone. Meeting was nice talked about all the cool plans and then went to the sim room.  i was d-man, derek was cardinal, paul was ??? and dave was maverick. Someone shot me down, but....but...i shot someone else while falling down to the ground.

May-3rd, mom in an accident on the way home  from the doctor, was rushed to local hospital and put inder a medical coma of sorts.

19th Traci flew to the west to get her car and drive home. The plan was for me to meet her in winnipeg and continue to ontario. I landed in winnipeg 21st or something.She didnt even have time to park at the entrance before i hopped into the car and we were on our way. We stopped overnight in kenora, then continued to  dryden where we had planned the night before to go see a friends parents place and they werent home so we took some pictures isntead...

We continued to drive past shale rocks and trees almost like a cartoon uses the same background in animations or cartoons. Untill ta-da the lakes started showing up. We continued all the way through northern ontario and i drove a bit.The night before, we planned out where we were going to stop over and we thought wed go from kenora to wawa, stay over and then try to continue on from there. But it got late and i we saw a travelodge at the side of the road and we were both yawning alot, so we said its about time to stop.and so we did. That night we opened the map and made a plan so that we knew what we were doing the next day. We did quite a good job of planning becuse we drove all the way home in one day from marathon, mind you we stopped a million times to take in the view. What a beautiful place northern ontario is. We also stopped a long time at the most beautiful place on the border of northern and southern ontatio Perry Sound is beautiful town/city and we stopped for a photo opp, supper and some particualrily famous ice cream at the floatplane base...

This is about the time the signs start showing the  400 series freeways on them instead of the normal highway  one. We are coming into an area of ontario ive seen before, as its not like what i had been driving in before i got to that point. Id never been in northern ontaaaaario. And then my cool and i know what im doing ego comes in as i had started to remeber a secret way home we used to drive to skii hills near arthur and had not driven this route in ages. We managed to make it home before sunrise the next day!! The END

June-weekly visits from mom and the NRC team. It was good to see mom home as ahe had be aching to get home and back to her chores.

July-Uncle david visit. July-13-27. Introduced him to my pilot friend Turbo at the JAM open house. A suprize vist by a crew of a c-130 from trenton or somewhere and dave got to chatting with them.
Also went to a car show and a movie with him.

August- lots of swimming, grass cutting

September-more grass and swimming. etc etc..
joined buffalo airways virtual.

October-flew in the haloween flight for buffalo airways virtual and more grass cutting. Ryan and jess flew home for thanksgiving. As well a the auzzie's and the torontonian stratfordite relllys visited.

Movember-snow falling, flew in the rememberance day flight

December-so far so good!!

Happy Holidays and Have a Happy and Safe New Yea

Mark Dailey passes away

I grew up with a tv with 3 to 4 channels. One was usually london, then kitchener and toronto and sometimes (with the right antenna setting wed get CBC. So i spent a lot of time in between those channels and one channel in particular was torontos city tv. Everytime the programming went to commercial youd hear mark dailey say "city tv its the news out here " or something. Wasnt much but it has lasted all these years...


Toronto will miss you mark.

its december

hey world its me. Im blogging again. Not that anyones listening that is. Im watching a lot of corner gas, dr oz and a few others.  I have been thinking aout ony 1 thing...the boeing 737-200. It's the most beautiful aircraft ive ever seen.  Not to forget the 727 and 707.  The old smokers as they used to call them. Not sure what they were smoking but they were loud.  I love the 737-200 because of how wonderfully cool it looks.  In some angles it looks like a flighter plane.
 
Cobble hills is open soon.
 
Snowing here at the moment
 

11/02/2010

hey guys!!

webcam not working...

cant seem to get it to be recognized on the computer...i mean it runs awesome but for some reason when i plug it in it says its not recognized. Ive had it for about a year and a bit and i think its even better than the 40-50$ one my dad bought for his computer but its just not recognizing that its a usb camera and when it does...get all the way through the wizard and then it says some error

bike signals need to be changed

i dont know if they are the same where you are but the bike signals that you use when biking with your hands. i have been taught them but ive forogtten them a bit. No one retains them very much anymore and when i look at the ones you are supposed to do when you are turning right you put up youre left hand??

you also gotta know that alot of divers dont know or remember the bike signals nor can they figure them out when you drive...maybe they should change them to allow both bike and car dirver to understand which way they are going..


sorry for not posting lately

5/16/2010

does it make any sence to anyone else

it just doesnt add up...doesnt make sense. Have you ever met someone you worked with that made your day much better than the way it is? I did. Now i wont go into details on what actually happened buti really liked her. I did a lot of things for her to try to earn "brownie points" so to say, i emptied the garbage for the are in the same store i was working and anything else she needed to be done.....then one week in may she decides shes going to go to go back home, whic is fine with me, im not gonna tell her if she or if she cant go...its her life...im fine. its cool. We talked like wildfire that week, life was flowing and i didnt care where she went or what she did. We were good freinds.I quote some katy perry because it is 10x more than true "we used to be just like twins so in sync, the same energy now a dead battery, used to laugh bout nothing now youre plain boring" descrinbes it to a T.

Then 2 weeks later she arrived back in banff from her time home in ontario and we went from that to not a single word from her or I. I figured it would be just a few days or so then shed be talking to me again. Nope. In a nutshell, we never discussed that i was leaving to move home to where i am today. Not one word from either of us!!

I often wonder when i sit here and listen to itunes songs and think that maybe i did/said/knew/heard something she didnt or said something rude or...you know....i just dont know...even though im not focusing on the past i just wonder if the freindfshop with her could have continuted. All this was was a friendship, nothing more. Aand even at that she ignored me for some reason...and to this day i dont know why...not one idea!! If it was me then she could have told me what i did/said that make her ignore me and guess what i would have made a change so that it didnt happen again...but since i dont know what caused it im all on my own at this point...

and thats just it...al this little post was about...just what the heck made her go silent...


my thought on what happened in ontario

1)she got married
2)she got in a car crash and couldnt remeber me
3)she was ignoring me because maybe.....you see i just dont know (as well)

someting big happened in ontario because it literaly happened overnight and she was a changed person for sure when she walked back in through the door...

*i have left the name of the person as annonymous as i fear the name getting out and she could get stalked..

but i just dont get it...it just doesnt add up...

anyone in the same boat...

stumped the pros...


this is one of my courses i created for Tiger Woods PGA2003 look at his shot amount

4/06/2010

similarities

i was watching an old version of the movie jesus, from the mid 70's to the world of today. Im not sure if what in the movie was correct or not but they made fun of him and ripped/burned his cloak...take that to todays world and you see kids making fun of younger kids that they dont understand like jesus was not believed by others, ya know.

If i was alive when he was i would believe in what he was doing and that he wasnt what everyone else thought of him at the time that it was all a joke...

4/01/2010

a common misconception

is it true that there is a difference between god and jesus...for some many a year ive believe that jesus is the son of god, as he was killed on either good friday or easter monday, dont ask me ive never understood it...im agnostic...

does everyone take this for granted or am i the only one??

3/25/2010

yesterdays horoscope on facebook

"Until you know the real reason why you haven't heard from someone that you placed so much faith in, try not to jump to conclusions. After all, being aware that things can occur unexpectedly, this person does deserve the benefit of the doubt. Pay more attention to your inner voice."

i find it awesome when looking through hundreds upon hundreds of aircraft pictures on airliners.net every day, its amazing how some of these planes can get off the ground at all.

I see plane pictures of planes on their last lease on life and ones just starting out on life and those in between. Its sometimes sad to see old planes you saw flying around you getting ready to be scrapped and you know you cant do anything to stop them from torching them to bare metal...

i always find funny pictures to look at and laugh or cry or whatever....its a fun thing to do...

anyways have a good day...

june 1996...world record

no im not talking about high shcool but what happened back in 1996, A volga Depner AN-124 landed at CYXU, not sure if it was the first or not bu it did land and it had a very good delivery to make, for the 1st time ever a new workld record was for 148 tonnes for an Irish city train to be deliverd from CYXU-EIDW i believe it was dublin but it could have been further, im not sure..

anyways i want to try to re create this in flight sim though i dont know how i will do that realistically...

heres a pic of the train i found online...this came from london ontario...i might be riding this someday when i go to dublin.

computer needs to go back into store to be reformatted...

I got my computer back last week and it still doesnnt work...but the guy said if i bring it back in i could reformat it and reinstall windows....

the folders i need to be copied are "My Documents" "Microsoft Games" I have all the games but id be lost without all the planes i have added to my flightsim, Then i want to try to see if i can copy the PAI files on my desktop (the files are only like 1.5MB but id have to find them again) then wipe the computer and reinstall windows xp....so i hope to be flying on my computer by the first of march.

i dont think copying all the files are going to take that long but i might have to wait as other computers are getting fixed...we just brought it home to take it out of their shelf so they wouldnt have to deal with it again so im expecting 2 or 3 days...should only take that long to to wait for other computers thatg are in the que to get fixed...

other than that....thats alll thats new...oh ya the flames won again!!! go flames!!

just breaks my heart

every day every month, every year another 737-200 gets scrapped and torched. I know they are old and un-environmental, but what happened to the whisperjet type aircraft, they didnt call them whisperjets because they were quiet, no they called them than because it was ironic..


But if you call-1-555-555-5555 you can save a 737-200, once you place youre call we well ship a picture of the plane you want to adopt and tell you the story about what airlines its been with...


so call now....make a difference in a 737-200's life


save them from the torture they dont deserve...


please send 4,0000000 easy payments of a dollar and well make sure by the time you pass away the plane will be sent to you


help save 737's like this one Quincy find a home and be loved
