BFF

Holy crap its been awhile since I updated. I almost forgot that I even had a blog. I've been sucked into the facebook vortex... and dismally was led into the black abyss. So as most of you who actually read the junk that I put on here most likely read or are updated .. caught up, hooked up or whatever on facebook; I suppose its just repeat. For some who havent discovered the wonders of it all.. then I say good for you as you have more of a life than me. so sad. We had an excellent camping adveture may long! posted pics are already up and circulating. And we defenitely need to start planning the next one. Kent and I should both have our boats built and ready to float for the next time around. Any suggestions as where to go or where it'll be in the same area as next time. Just so long as this time I get to fish it should all be good. Ultimate bocce was definately a great game... most likely the best ever invented!

Facebook is crazy

I've been back for a little while now... even on the computer again... but little time to blog or even think about it. for some reason I'm addicted to this facebook thing. Formally known as zippy I finally got my name changed as I apparently had signed up for it last year sometime and they wouldnt let me use my real name... so it finally got sorted out... but now I cant list myself as one of my friends... so sad. there will be some pics of my trip up sometime... Kent and i are still in the midst of tying to organise everything for our video... it may take a while....
fest of ale... but first the penticton gun show on saturday... see you all there!

Arrived safe sound and well... tired

Well, we are finally here. It's now the halfway point in the journey of the two canadians who drink a lot of beer. Apparntly the people here aren't used to drinking beer in quantity as us crazy canucks. So don't worry we've done Canada proud. and the schedual remains sleep by about 2 or 3 andup by 7. We're at the Elf hostel and have been kicked out of our otherwise cosy hotel. we missed breakfast that morning and had a nice long walk with over stuffed and hastely packed bags. About 12 hours out of each day is spent walking from alley to alley old church to old church. Lots to see and hundreds of pictures taken. Most of the 'touristy' places have been seen and done and now its relaxingand seeign the rest of Praha. And of course out drinking everyone else here. its nice to have the main train station about 1 feet from our room... thats swell... real swell. I'll update probably when i get back as I have little time on the computers and theres too much to be done and things to do... chow

Awaken the sleeping Dragon

Well, it has come to pass that one Kent Lipsett and one Owen McKelvie have started (at least in my head) their very cool and crazy adventure. As to what events will unfold and to what extent remains to be seen. My mom has cautioned me not to get into trouble (she fears we will end somehow in prison over there.... and maybe rightly so). But what ever the outcome of the ramblings of us two high spirited adventurers, we will capture as much as possible onto film to share with the rest of you poor folk who are not able to make it. I have been informed by a reliable source that we will be picked up by our Chauffeur and wisked off to our very expensive hotel... (approx 500 CAN a night... but for us... free). Then he is going to take us to a nice restuarant that even with both our spending money could not afford... then to rest up in the sauna to shake off the jet lag... maybe some nice cold beer. aahhhh... so this is vacation.... time to let my weary bones rest and drown my parched tongue with refreshment.
in my spare time i'll try my best to email and update you poor sobs as best i can... but then again... it may just wait till i return...

curious

well, as the date that i leave for prague is drwing near, 5 more days, I'm begining to wonder or at least becoming more curious as to the details of the trip. I know kent won the trip legitately, and it is their pilot program for this sort of thing. we now know our flight number and have our tickets... we've been told we're being picked up at the airport and taken to ... where? We're not to sure yet... and they're taken out a life insurance policy for us.... but who is the benificiary? them? I wonder if they just figure buying cheap tickets for foreigners and flying them over there to kock them off and collect the insurance money may not be far fetched. So if the ride looks like a run down lada or an oversized limo... Looks like I'm bringing the tomahawk after all. Why did I have to watch hostel? and why are we staying at one? and a curious one at that. Well whatever the case is, we have over 7 hours of film. So even if we get tortured to death at least we can make use of the video camera and have a momento to send to you all to enjoy. Cheers! Nazdravi!

new sport

Well, my thanks to my good friend Joel, i have been introduced to a new sport (at least to me) of crickett. After you get by the unusual (and ofter made up on the fly) rules, it is quite an enjoyable game. I found once i got the hang of it I even nocked over the wicket whilst the Canadian born international cricket player Joel Kinvig was up to bat. Lucky hit... maybe. But we'll have to have another match to find out.
Also, i guess one of the guys i work wit got fired.. so now there's only 2 if us again. kent I'm trying to get you a job for the time being. I's all good though. We arent running off our feet like we will this summer i know.
Golf... maybe... this sunday everyone who can make it. There might be 3 of us... but if everyone can, then its more like 20.... so maybe let me know so we can book tee times

OUT! drat

Out of guinness!? on st. Patrick's Day!? whats going on here? There realy can't be that many Irish people in this town. Every other day of the year Guinness is plentiful as water 9as it should be). But this one day a year every other person who normally cannot handle it decides to go and try it. Listen all you SOB's stick with your watery bud and canadian or kokanee and let the real men drink the good stuff. Most of you smoke anyhow and have no taste buds to appreciate its great taste. so next time you get a stupid idea in your head... just leave it there.
happy St. Patricks Day
