I've got a place to live!

So I got the place. I leave for Slave Lake tomorrow. I'm still house sitting for my parents so I'm stuck in Leduc until tomorrow. This weekend I get to go home and pack some clothes for the week. I got the power hooked up today. All I need to do now is get my postal code and order a phone. Anyway I must flee. I might take a drive to the airport to drop off Mom and Dad's car. Then bike back but first let Maggie in and grab some chinese for lunch! Later Peeps!

I'm no longer and unemployed bum!

Hey I finally got a job! I'm no longer a bum. I'm moving to Slave Lake, AB. I got a job at a catholic school teaching Physical Education to grades 3-12. I leave for hell this Thursday and I start work on Friday. I might have an apartment up there as well I find out about that on Tuesday. I'm still house sitting and dog watching up until I leave. The weather sucks here in Leduc. I want to go home! I miss my house and my bed! Goodnight peoples! Did I mention that I'm teaching at a real school now! Oh I guess I did. Later!

Back from Penticton

Man I did not want to come back to Alberta. Wine, beaches, biking with actual big hills, fresh fuit from the trees and beautiful weather. Nothing beats that. So my bike is acting up. On Sunday I was cruising down hills at stupid speeds of around 61km/hr and then the next day my bike starts wobbling at around 35-40km/hr. The first time it happens we just started out for a pleasurable ride to get ice cream and then come back to the beach. The 1st hill of the day which you have to go down from the B & B we were staying at and I almost died. I thought it was my braking so I adjusted my front wheel and blammed the wind a bit. Then it happened again coming back from getting the ice cream. This time I realized I could've died so this time I'm shaking from fear. I still have at least 3 more hills I have to go down. Colleen I don't think believed me but she followed me down. Sure enought after I took my breaks off the bike it did it again and it freaked out not only myself but also Colleen. We took it super easy the rest of the ride and I brought my bike to the bike barn to get it fixed. They needed to hold it hostage for a couple of days so I decided to get it fixed in Edmonton by Guri at Pedalhead. I'm not sure if it's fixed but it's supposed to be ready on Monday. Turns out it was the headset, but I'm still not too sure. Anyway I've never been to peach fest and we missed most of the events but I would go again to check it out. Went in search of fudge. Colleen saw a topless woman on one of the beaches. Where the hell was I looking when this happened. Oh well, got to float down the channel. It only took 2 hours but it took us 1hr and a half to walk there. Fell asleep a couple of times due to the heat and the sun. Went to the beach a lot and had a couple of picnics. We did a lot more than just this but I hate babbling. Thanks for the post card and the card Mike. Muchos Gracias for the money order. I used it for food and gas and to check out the movie Princess Diaries 2. Which is super cheesy but just as good as the 1st one. If you hate pedicitable sappy romantic movies than don't go see this one but if you do check it out. That's all for now. I've been having trouble getting onto this blog thing so if I don't post for a while that's why. Later Kiddies!

Off to Penticton tomorrow.

Well, tomorrow I'm off to panorama. Colleen and I are going to do a little siteseeing on bikes and then it's a 7 hr drive to Penticton! It's the we don't have any money but we're going anyway trip to Penticton! It's a well needed break for Colleen as she's done nothing but race, support me in my racing and training all summer. It's time to leave home, pick some peaches and cherries or whatever else is growing this time of year down there and relax. Also to ride bikes up some monster climbs to help her with her final races. If you need to get a hold of me I'll be checking my e-mail daily as well as my messages on the phone. Talk to ya later! DOC:-)>
