OCT 31/11 10:52 PM

I took the dog for two walks. Later I handed out treats to the trick or treaters at my parent's place. I used corny lines like "I ran out of candy so all I have left is beer" (luckily that one didn't get me arrested) and "I ran out of candy, you can have the dog", (the dog gave me a dirty look at that comment). After handing out the Halloween treats I went on a bus excursion where I bought a five window insulating kit and some beer. I only need a kit for three windows, but most stores sell eight or ten window kits, so I'm ahead of the game. Also,I can drink the beer and make two mistakes. I have one window done and can feel the difference already. I can finish my beer and still make two more mistakes. On a sad note,my favourite beer went from $2.95 to $3.39 a can overnight. That is highway robbery, but the beer is still a good bargain. I'm on the wagon after midnight so I'd better drink my last beer before then. I'm off to drink my last beer, play on the puter, then watch some tv.

OCT 30/11 11:58 PM

I had a slow day at the market. The rain, cold winds, and snow seemed to put a damper on people wanting to go to the market. I took a nap when I got home. I'm off to watch some tv.

OCT 30/1111:57 PM (FOR OCT 29/11)

I had a good day at the market. I sold for about $45.00 ($25.00 for me and 20:00 for a couple of my partners) and one person fed me. I got my sister's internet working then went on a beer run. I got poopeyed.

OCT 28/11 11:07 PM

I took the dog for a walk thent went to Riverview on a mission. I dropped into my favourite bar (Strikes And Spares)where they were just changing their draft machine. I volunteered to test the draft. It was excellent, buuuuurp, please excuse me. On the way home I stopped at the beer store then locked up my bike and took a ride on the caterpillar bus. Maybe I'm wrong but I think the caterpillar bus only has about 5 or 6 more seats than a regular bus. I eventually made it home and consumed some refreshing beverages (Faxe beer). I'm off to watch some tv.

OCT 27/11 11:49 PM

I woke up late for my seniorsitting. My father was p155ed. I took the dog for two walks and went on a bike/bus excursion. I bought some beer and enjoyed them immensly. I'm off to watch some tv.

OCT 26/11 11:53 PM

I took the dog for two walks. I seniorsat and went on a Whopper run. My team got our arses at bowling but we had fun. I indulged in a few beverages from the bar. I'm off to watch some tv.

OCT 25/11 11:36 PM

I seniorsat and took the dog for two walks. I thought my bike got stolen when I left it out all last night. My landlord put in in his front porch last night when he went to work. That was a relief. I played on the puter most of the day and took a small nap. I'm off to take a shower then watch some tv.

OCT 24/11 11:38 PM

I took the dog for two walks and did some volunteering for METS. I went to get a Tim Horton coffee in Highfield Square and noticed the girl's uniform looked different. Also the coffee was cheaper. Then I realized I was buying my coffee at A&W (which is right next to Tim's). The coffee was quite good, and even better, when I found out refills are free. I even got a card for a free coffee after I pay for five. I was quite full of coffee by the time I was done. I had to pee like a racehorse when I was waiting for the bus home. I couldn't wait any more and set off to satisfy Mother Nature. To my dismay there were fences all over the place and no privacy. I eventually found two dumpsters side by each behind the Colonial Inn and did my thing between them. I cought the bus just in time and headed for home. Later I took a nap then played on the puter. I'm off to watch some tv.

OCT 23/11 11:46 PM

I was expecting a quiet morning at the market and started to rearrange my section a bit. I no sooner got deep into it that the place started filling up with people. I didn't really get a lot done but sure had a mess on top of my regular mess. In the afternoon it was so quiet I nodded off a couple of times. Two people fed me and I sold for a whopping $11.15 ($5.15 of my stuff and $6.00 of Percy's stuff). I wrote a postdated cheque to pay for my space rent. When I got home I got a call from Cookie that she needed my laptop because she was having internet trouble and the person on the helpline didn't understand my nephew's ubuntu system. I went over and eventually fixed the problem myself (a wire making bad connection due to a broken clip). It seems to be working very well now. I'm off to get some beauty rest.

OCT 23/11 12:02 AM (FOR OCT 22/11)

It was quiet at the market again and I nodded off a couple of times. Two people fed me so I ate well. When I got home my landlady gave me a roasted chicken. I was stuffed after eating less than a third of it. I played on the puter most of the evening and had some windows explorer problems causing me to do a slow reboot shortly before midnight.

OCT 21/11 11:35 PM

My day started at 3:00 am when I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep. The good news is I finally nodded off about 4:45 am. The bad news I had to be up for 5:00 am. I seniorsat twice and took the dog for two walks. I went to the food bank and brought home three bags of food. I also salvaged a big box of overripe bananas they were disposing of.My idea is to start a batch of banana wine in the next few days if I can find the time. I gave about a hundred of then away and still have a couple hundred left. I'm off to surf the internet then get some beauty rest.

OCT 20/11 10:50 PM

I seniorsat this morning and took the dog for a walk. My father is very under the weather so I have to go over there at 5:00 am. I'm not up to par, myself, so I'm really not looking forward to going there. If he starts barfing, I know I will quickly follow suit. I'm exhausted and am off to get some beauty rest.

OCT 19/11 11:30 PM

It was a long day. I woke up at 4:00 am, 4:30 am, 5:00 am, 5:30 am, and 8:15 pm. This was not good as I was supposed to wake up my nephew at 8:00 am. My day was off to a good start. Later I took the dog for two walks and went on two bike and bus excursione. One the first trip I couldn't get the bike rack to fold back up again. After a couple of seconds I decided it would work better if I took my bike off first. I hada couple of Whoppers, three beer, and a box of Kraft Dinner for supper. They were quite good, burrrrp, please excuse me. My team got our lost at bowling and I got my (_|_) kicked royally. Luckily the bar was open, so I could drown my sorrows (the same bar where I can celebrate my victories). To misquote Earle Ross quoting Grantland Rice..."It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you drink your draft". I'm off to enjoy my last beer and get some much needed beauty rest. Tomorrow morning will soon be here.

OCT 18/11 11:45 PM

I seniorsatand took the dog for two walks. Later I went on two bike and bus excursions. Sometimes I fear this lifestyle of a rich sofisticated playboy will someday catch up to me.

OCT 18/11 7:11 AM (FOR OCT 17/11)

I took the dog for two walks and went to the beer store. I got poopeyed.

OCT 16/11 11:57 PM

It was really quiet at the market. I nodded off a couple of times. One person fed and another gave me a laptop. It needs a harddrive. I took a nap and played on the puter when I got home. I'm off to watch some tv.

OCT 15/11 11:58 PM

I had a good day at the market. Two people fed me and I made a few sales. I'm not making any money, but I'm having fun. When I got home I took the dog for a walk, then went on a bike/bus excursion to the beer store. I drank four Faxe beer without any mix.....At least I have my Faxe straight.Hee hee. I'm half in the bag and happy as poop. I'm off to watch some tv.

OCT 14/11 11:42 PM

My day started around 5:00 am. I seniorsat in the morning and took the dog for two walks. I was supposed to do some volunteer service this afternoon but my father is still in the hospital, so I seniorsat most of the afternoon. The internet was acting up again and I lost about ten downloads. I'm tired as heck and am off for some much needed beauty sleep.

OCT 14/11 12:15 AM (FOR OCT 13/11)

My day started shortly after 5:00 am. I seniorsat and took the dog for three walks. I played on the puter and took a ten minute nap. The internet conked out again so my diary didn't get posted on time.

OCT 12/11 11:51 PM

I seniorsat twice, took the dog for two walks, had a good doctor's appointment, pedalled my bike, went on a bus excursion, and played on the puter. The icing on the cake is I beat my opponent at bowling. I'm off to drink a couple of beer, have a late supper, then get off to bed. I have to be up at five am.

OCT 12/11 8:23 AM (FOR OCT 11/11)

I took the dog for two walks and went on a bike and bus excursion to the beer store. I survived the internet conking out again by watching tv and playing on the puter.

OCT 10/11 10:38 PM

I took the dog for two walks and played on the puter. I took a nap then played on the puter some more. I'm off to watch some tv.

OCT 09/11 11:47 PM

A lot of new faces came into the market. My saleswere slow but two people fed me. When I got home the internew was working, even thoughit is working very slowly. The telephone guy showed up yesterday morning but Cookie wasn't home, and Chicken Wings was sleeping with his hearing aids out, so the door didn't get answered. He's supposed to come back tomorrow morning. I have a key so I'llmake sure he gets in. I'm off to watch some tv and get some beauty sleep.

OCT 09/11 8:20 PM (FOR OCT O8/11)

It was quiet at the market but sales were a bit better than usual. One person fed me so it was a good day. After the market I came home to find the internet not working. I was going bonkers without it so I pedalled the bike a few blocks over and hopped on the bus. We passed through the casino parking lot and the place was really hopping. I felt like getting off but the beer store was calling me. I was debating whether to get three or four beer.The store was having a sale where if you spend $50.00 you got a free $10.00 store coupon. I was tempted to get the bank card out but fought the temptation. I surprised myself and only bought three beer.They were quite good, too.

OCT 07/11 11:58 PM

I took the dog for two walks, seniorsat, went on a couple of bus excursions, took a nap, pedalled the bike a couple of times, and went to the beer store. Despite almost freezing my butt off it was a productive day. I'm off to watch some tv.

OCT 06/11 8:31 PM

I had a challenging day. I seniorsat then took the dog for a walk. I realized I locked myself out when I went home to take my medications. I could feal a slight case of pulimory edema starting up. I spent about 3 hours in the front porch until my landlord came to my rescue. After taking my pills about 3 hours late I peed about a gallon then I decided to relax on the interned but it wasn't working. I was having a hard time breathing but I still took the dog for another walk then tried to take a nap. The cellphone woke me up. It was my sister telling me my nephew's internet wasn't working. I decided to go and hopefully fix the problem. After a couple of hours I think replacing a wire should solve the problem at least temporarily. Just to be safe I will do my diary here instead of waiting til Iget home. I'm heading home and hopefully I'll get a few minutes of napping before somebody else wakes me up.

OCT 06/11 3;16 PM (FOR OCT 05/11)

It was a long day. The internet wasn't working for about half the day. I took the dog for only one walk. I went on a Whopper run for my father. I couldn't find the bus pass so I gathered up a loonie, nickle, dime, and 85 pennies, and pedalled a few blocks over to catch the bus. As I was locking my bike the bus started to pull away. I somehow managed to stop it and get on. I went to the beer store then to Burger King. When I was in Burger King I looked out the window and saw the bus going by. I went outside in the pouring rain and waited for the next bus. I realized I only had $1.35 in change in my pockets, not enough for bus fare. I went back to Burger King to get some change. When I was in the line up another bus went by. I eventually got on the bus and headed for home. I got wet pedalling from the bus stop to my parent's place but the Whoppers arrived safely. As I was bringing the bike in the house the pedal fell off and went under the front steps. I got soaked looking for the pedal but eventually found it. I was tired and took a nap on the couch after eating a Whopper and sipping on a beer. Soon it was time to get ready for bowling. The light in the stairwell decided to give up the ghost leaving the 13 steps in total darkness. I took my jolly old time and eventually made it down safely. I got to the bowling alley and found out I had a pocket full of Canadian Tire money with me instead of real currency. Luckilly I somehow remembered to brink my bank card. The team I spared for kicked the other team's ass royally. We took six points. When I got home I almost fell up the stairs then discovered the internet was gone again. I sipped on some beer and ate another Whopper.

OCT 05/11 4:45 PM (FOR OCT 04/11)

I took the dog for two walks. Mrs W and myself went to Steve's for dinner. I had a BLT sandwich, a bowl of soup, and a pop. After Mrs W went home I drank all the beer in the fridge then headed to the beer store for more. I got poopeyed and forgot to post in my diary.

OCT 03/11 11:26 PM

I took the dog for two walks and took a nap on the couch. Mrs W and myself went to Jungle Jim's for supper. It was pretty tasty. Later I played on the puter before watching parts of Dancing With The Stars on tv with Mrs W and a wrestling video on the puter at the same time. I'm off to watch some tv.

OCT 02/11 11:03 PM

I had fun at the market. I had a few sales and bought some new to me stuff to try to sell. One person fed me and two people gave me coffee. After the market I played on the puter. Later myself and Mrs W went to Bravo to pick up a pizza and some garlick cheese fingers. It was so long since I had bravo pizza I was as happy as a fart in a bean cannery. I'm off to watch some tv.

OCT 01/11 10:05 PM

It was a good day at the market. I made a few small sales totalling almost $30.00 which is good for me. Nobody gave me food but somebody gave me a coffee. After the market Mrs W and myself went to the casino for supper. It was about a two hour wait but the food was quite good. On the way home I bought a monthly pass for the poor man's limo. I'm off to watch some tv.
