motherdutchers!!
… did y’all see that shit? they obliterated the spaniards w/ 5 unanswered goals!!
Spain 1-5 Netherlands
… it’s been awhile!
i’ve been selfie remiss for such a long LONG time. don’t even know why i bother/continue – not exactly liking what i see staring back, maybe that’s why am blogging less and less of ’em? – hey, least i spared y’all my infamous almost nekkid body-selfies … for now, lol!
a HUGE pain in the ass!!
I only learnt about this by googling my girl Natalie Morales running The Boston Marathon. Apparently, she was diagnosed w/ proximal hamstring injury – proximal hamstring tear – high hamstring tendinitis … (different names for it) causing her great pain/discomfort. I did some reading on the subject, and it’s definitely a runner’s infliction (ooh, the crosses we bear, lol) … and I HAVE IT!! Well, I have similar symptoms, I can’t sit for prolonged periods without feeling excruciating pain in my rear! And, this all started when I resumed running this year, so putting 2+2 together, I assume it’s related. I haven’t been diagnosed yet by a doctor (yeah yeah … am going, lol), but I’m hoping *fingers crossed*, what I have is something not as serious and will eventually self-heal w/ time. Funny thing is, that I really don’t notice it much in terms of pain when I run – maybe 5% if I had to quantify it, But man, when I’m sitting on my ass, it’s def 100%, and soon as I get a chance, need to get up and walk around for relief!! Maybe should read: Butt man, lol!
3 runs 3 runs 3 runs – yes sir!
… 5.94K – 27:04 minutes! I’ll take it – was a great day for a run, blue skies and cool, albeit a bit breezy by the lake for my liking. Don’t know what to make of my runs lately, I don’t necessarily feel strong yet, not like last year … but my pace doesn’t indicate that?! Funny; my final run, saw a strong runner approaching, so I waited and let him pass – allowing him a generous lead, then took off following. Was never my intention to pass, just to keep pace – but surprisingly was quickly on his heels and knowing I’d be stopping shortly, wasn’t about to pass showing him up. BUT he veered off onto a parallel path – THEN, I figured all bets were off – all’s fair in love and running … so I kicked it into high gear for my remaining 400 meters, intentionally giving him a periphery of speedy danzoles, lol!!

Spring Sprung A Leak!!

Cracked me up … puddy in my hands, lol!

… today is MY day! Er, tomorrow is MY day … either way ya look at/slice ‘n dice it … is DEF MY DAY!!
What A Mucking Mess!!
Wouldn’t wanna have to walk in this?! Weather forecast did call for isolated showers, lol! Happy my hose & nozzle (minds outta the gutter folks) survived the winter unscathed! 😈
Seema, if I didn’t know better, I’d swear you were dolling up your coiffe in anticipation of our appointment!
… musta been my complimentary comment last time, good memory girl. you came out from your office to greet me … smiling, strutting like a model, hair glammed up … all Nick Chavez like. Flock me, lol!
and for the record, it’s 110%!!
… not 101% as you erroneously referred to it – ‘101% for sure’ to quote you verbatim, when I asked one final time about combining – a price match from a competitor, with the Save The Tax Event my fave Lowe’s was offering! You really shouldn’t have been so confident either since you really didn’t have a clue. As it turned out; pursuing it further, I was able to score both deals, adding up to BIGTIME $AVING$ on my big ticket item purchase! Yep … 110% for sure I did, lol!
FGANGPUCK?!?!
… say what, lol??
Super-G
Been non-bloggin’ ’bout the Olympics! Sochi what? None of your business! I did awake early (2 a.m.) anticipating this race. I’ve been trying to watch as much live Alpine Skiing as I can despite the awkward 9 hour time difference. This foxy-chick f’n rocks (and, she ain’t even Canuckian)! She absolutely destroyed the course! Great job girl!
Gold medalist – Anna Fenninger from Austria!
ever the mofoptimist!
Is who I am, a glass filled to the rim kinda guy! Whatever happens happens, but I do know who I must thank if there’s reason for giving thanks. Even if not, I’ll still thank her. It was great chatting with you today Harold, I’m holding out hope … high hope(s)! And I look forward to meeting you as well! See you bright and early tomorrow (Saturday) morning!

Averting Disaster!
BIGTIME!! I don’t profess being a plumber … only a know-it-all. But, under this particular October 31st scary situation handled myself handy-dandy-halloween-well, if I do say so myself! Water spewing everywhere on two floors was the last thing I wanted to see. Images of THAT proverbial expen$ive emergency plumber phone-call kept fla$hing in my mind! A bit of collateral drywall damage looking for leaks, and then capping off the water supply with shut-off valves … and dan’s-yer-plumber!!

I’ve been hittin’ the dueces hard lately … and now five in a row … holy-frickin-mike-n-moly … gimme a break, ain’t no way it’s a coinkidink … it’s gotta mean somethin’! I’ll figure it out … and when I do, I’ll get back to ya …
Major Miztake!
Lookie what arrived via Canada Post yesterday. Tiff’s gorgeous riding boots! Her beautiful Isaac Mizrahi boots! Too bad they’re the wrong colour, wrong size! It’s laughable the continual fuck-ups this particular online retailer commits. Tiff woulda happily lived with the colour mizhap … despite the fact that she purposely ordered early, ensuring that she’d get her fave grey before selling out. But she def can’t live happily with those monstrous size 9s. Nor can I! Rest assured y’all, will be calling complaining pronto after posting. I won’t be missing this bus … REUBENNNN!!
it’s not the heat, it’s the stupidity!!
… really don’t know what I was thinking these last couple of days?! Yesterday was in the 40s, and in the 30s as I awoke … yet, I still run, and STILL KILL IT!! A 17:52 4K in this energy-sapping humidity, I’ll happily take that time till the cows come home!!
Plus, Tiff K & I sucked it up for these couple of Indian Summer days, absolutely REFUSING to turn on the A/C … unlike our zealot A/C using/loving next door neighbours who have that fecking thing cranked all seasons, sans one. I know, MORE stupidity,eh, lol?!
and, only 40 seconds off my PR; CRAZY EH?
4 second separation splits!
feels like 33° – yep, sticky hot!
A 21 minute game? No Djokovic!
… in the 5th set of the men’s semi-final, at the US Open! It don’t get any more exciting …
… and WOW, Wawrinka wins the game …
