Towing & Iced Tea, and DAMN THE GOVERNMENT!

Alright, Well towing is different all across the board. I went from driving with a fleet owned by a huge auto club, with the newest, most advanced equipment. To a contractor (private company) with old crappy trucks, a few nice new ones, however, i'm not likely to get my hands on one. Although with my training I'm sure it would be a benefit for them to put me in one. I mean, they sent me to be trained with a driver of there that has only been towing for approximately 5 months. Needless to say, we got a call to put the motorcycle on the flat deck. HE HAD NO IDEA HOW TO DO IT. I ended up being the trainee, and the trainer. The only thing i need training on from them mainly is their paperwork. We'll see, this may not last long, as everything is too redneck and you don't have the backing for equipment or truck upkeep that i'm used too. Not sure if I could work without it. Maybe it's time to invest in an AZ license???

AND ICED TEA! Some people just don't understand, Nestea is the only good iced tea on the market. All these other ones through this tang into it, and well it's not cool at all. Nestea is the only one that doesn't have that grose tang in the middle. Just thought i'd through this out, so people will try it, and reply to me. As Lipton and noname as well as many others, have the stupid tang. ERRRRR

The government sucks. In order to get my Ontario License activated, and deactivate my alberta license, of course i need my birth certificate to proove who i am. Well my birth certificate is lost. Even though the guy at the licenseing centre had my ontario license on his screen and all he had to do was one simple little click. BUT, NOOOOOOOOO... ERRRR... so now I have to order a new birth certificate. Oh well, I will wait and see how it goes. Anywas... Over and out for now, will update some more soon...

Ok, It's been awhile.

Ok well, it's been a little while. I got my new Mac Book Pro, and have been trying to use it. I have always been a PC guy, and my cousin got me into the mac world, and so far, i'm not disappointed at all, i'm sure the more i learn the more I'll like it...

Anyways the main reason for this post is, WTF!? lol... I came across something in the local news today and I must quote it.

No explanation for Kincardine boom

Written by John Divinski

It's been a week-and-a-half since the so-called "big bang" in the Kincardine area and there is no explanation.

Nuclear problem to sonic booms to meteor showers have been discounted.

South Bruce OPP Staff Sergeant Paul Bradley says the most recent yarn--meteor showers--has been discounted by outside sources who have studied them.

Bradley says as far as the police are concerned, there is no further investigation into the matter by them.

Bradley says on Thursday, July 31st, residents over an 18-kilometer area reported large bangs that sounded like explosions.

He says police and fire personnel responded to that emergency and found there was no problem.

Then the conjecture started and continues.

But Bradley says as of this point, still no explanation as to what it was.

No significant damage by the bangs except for a few reported broken windows.

Nobody hurt.

~Quote End~

Quoted From Owen Sound Suntimes of Osprey Media.

The reason for this post is, well, if you read the article above you will see that it says the sound was heard approx 18km around. Well, who knows where it originated so who knows where it originated, or did they ;). Anyways, my family and I remember this 'banging' and well we are approximately 90km away. We live near a tank/firing rang, so that's what we figured it was. But the scary thing is, kincardine, is only about 10km away from a Nuclear Power Plant. So where did it come from? See, even though we are in a small town/area we still have excitement... AHHAHA...

Well, Aside from that, not a whole lot is new here for me. Got the Mac, still waiting on the iTouch, it went from shanghai, to anchorage, to newark, and then to mississauga.. It's taking quite the trip, but I am looking forward too it.

Back to work with CAA on monday, well going for a ride along, we'll see how this goes, different people, different equipment, and wayyyy different system.

POI, I know EVERYONE has been waiting for an update. Well, here it is. We may have a title soon, lol, no more POI possibly. WHY? you ask??? Well, we get along really well, and I'm sure it would make her happier if she had a little more security. So, even though i'm still thinking about it, and will keep everyone up to date..

My winter truck will soon be on the road officially. Had the wrong part in the middle of ripping everything apart. So off to CT to get a new part, and then it starts to DOWN POUR. Packed it up for the day and back at it tomorrow.

Feel free to leave comments, as I will try to keep and eye on local news and start commenting on more news items, that really intrigue me... NIGHT!

Another day, holy the foruth already?

Hello, hello...

Another day has passed, apparently this is the fourth blog post already, I kinda feel like I know what I'm doing yet. Although I don't have anything quite to interesting yet, I am trying to keep all of your who are reading it up to date. Got my twitter widget going on the side now so you can see what my most recent updates are... Anyways, on to a few things i wanted to explain further from yesterdays post, then I'll get onto today...

Alrighty, yesterdays updates will be short but have the detail... Maybe, god, i hate trying to plan it ahead in my head...

Oh yes, the crazy nice car. It's a 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt SS... I didn't really find them too appealing before, yahoo, it's got a supercharged 2.0l four cylinder. REALLY? lol, i really didn't find that too appealing. Seemed like they were trying to make a decent prices throw away car a 'sports car'. Well I'm assuming the engineers or designers of GM, realized that with a supercharger, it takes power to make power. When all of my friends and I saw that it was supercharged, we basically all said, "WTF!?" Should've wrote them a letter or something, seeing how I am Canadian, and that's what we do, I just ignored it and figured, well GM is just scrap anyways they may as well just continue the trend. (I'll get into the scrap definition later). Anyhow, my muffin and I stopped into a GM dealer when we toured to Barrie to look at the truck, that I now own, but at this time was just to look at it as a prospective purchase. When we got there we saw the car, and something didn't look quite right on the back of it. The badging, twas different, WHAT!?!?!?! IT'S TURBO NOW!!?!?!? See now the concepts between the two, turbo and supercharger are completely different, If you need explanatiions feel free to comment and I will post info on next post. Anywho, when we went get the truck yesterday, well the day before now I guess... So when we went to get the truck on saturday we toured over to the GM dealer to test drive this Cobalt SS TURBO!... The car is comfortable, FAST AS HELL, and was surprising decent for a throw away car. So that was the little story about the Scrap that ain't too bad. HAHAHA, kinda pointless but now you know what I think about the Cobalt SS TURBO.

Story with the truck, quick little story, I hope lol. So we go to get this truck with is about 40km outside of barrie. We get there, and the owner says, all the ownerships and paperwork for the truck is in my dad's van, and he went to brampton. My muffin and I were like, WTF, oh well, we're close to barrie we'll go test drive that SS. We planned to come back the next day to get the truck, being sunday. We get to the dealer, and are just walking in the door, when buddy with the truck calls. OH, I just found the paperwork, he says. SWEET, then i was able to get my truck that day. HAHAHA, will post pics once she's officially on da road.

Hearld and Kumar escape from guantanamo bay, WHAT A DUMB MOVIE, let's just smoke some weed, and dream about weed, and wack off with weed, that'll solve all of our problems. A very mindless movie made for all the early teens who are heavy in to the mary-j and need some movie devoted to them to make them so happy in their little smoke filled lives. That was my take, feel free to check it out for yourself, but don't come crying to me, after you laugh for a few minutes and go, "WTF!?" (wow, wtf is common in this post)

Alrighty, Onto Today...

THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT IN KEMBLE. HOLY SHIT!!!!!

So, there I was outside, setting up my tent so it could dry out from the previous weekend. I heard sirens, thought nothing of it, then it hit me, "i'm not in a big city anymore, i'm in KEMBLE!"

I rushed to my car and flew up to the main road. An OPP went flying bye, so naturally I followed his lead. Not too far down the road was a T-BONE! It was very interested to have something exciting happen. Was a decent hit, wished I had my camera charged, I'll have to make sure I do that tonight so I have it from now on.

During this accident, I realized that Volunteer firefighters have no idea how to control traffic at a scene. For the first little bit my friend and I were directing traffic after the fireman almost caused a few more accidents. With my experience in the field I took decent control until the finally got their cones out and, sort of, setup the scene. 1 thing learned from that.

Second thing learned from that, is the tow truck operators have NO idea how to operate their equipment properly or safely. It was hard to watch, and I think their could be big changes in that industry, in this town/county/township. I may have to make a difference. We will have to wait and see what happens.

Aside from that, saw the Movie '21' Again, and still really enjoy it, love all the number games. I sometimes like a movie that make me think.

But, I'm off to watch some ICE ROAD TRUCKERS, then I'm off to bed. Gotta be up early, potential buyers are viewing the house tomorrow.......................

Shorty...

Well folks today was another day... Quick updates...

Got a new truck today, well the one i referred too in last post, however, finally picked it up today. Will go into more detail on that screwed up story in next blog.

Test Drove a crazy niiiiice car... GM is scrap, but they may have gone right with this one, and their marketing, well haven't seen any advertising yet, so hmmmm... Again, next post ;)...

POI, is doing awesome, came on trip today to get truck, and says the truck is SEXY! Perfect, she just may be a keeper... :)

Watched a Herald and Kumar movie, will comment on that next entry as well...

VERY TIRED... long day... gotta get some rest so I can get up to say TTFN to my cuz headed back to the big city... Gotta remember to tighten her lugs, don't want em' falling of...

Me and my muffin made a list of stuff we have to do over the next week or two, so, yeehaw... POI works afternoons all week, so that kinda gives me and muffin a chance to get the shit done...

Well I will keep you posted (blogged) i dunno, not sure about this blog thing yet. Kinda like a virtual Diary, where everyone in the world has the key, just has to have the knowledge and understanding of the WORLD WIDE WEB (insert evil snicker here)...

Anyways back to what i was saying. Next post will have updates on everything, so keep your eyes open. And if your looking for me on twitter, DEVILE is my name, and _________ is my game... I'll have to get back to you for that one too...

NIGHT!

The second post

Well, here I am again, writing my second post in my blog. Again this still a little weird posting on it, however, i'm sure it will increase in pleasure later, NOT WHAT I MEANT, GET YOUR MINDA OUTA DA GUTTER, hahaha...

Anyways, just thought I would bring up my POI... Let me first explain what a POI is... Technically it is someone who which you are in a relationship with, that is, as far as I know, exclusive... However, it is basically a relationship, where you are dating, but are not dating... Kinda hard to explain, like you go for dates but ya... you get it... Oh yes and a POI, is a Person Of Interest... Yes my cuz kept is unisex, i'm sure so she could use it, or let someone use it down the road. But it's basically a safety net, neither person expects anything in future, although it's like a BETA version of your relationship, always changed can be made, or it can be ended just like that with out any hard feelings... Best explanation i can give.

WTF, is with fucking homeland security saying they can seize our laptops at any time if they feel like it. Then they can copy our information or whatever they what to do with it. Then they can keep the laptop. What kind of crap is that. So, if you do lots of traveling across border, i suggest having a computer for each end of the 'world'. So either i will ship my laptop across border or I will not travel with it. Alright enough with this rant before FBI show up at my door on Canadian Soil. HAHAHA

So today, was a pretty simply day. Learned many things about how the Ontario Driver's Licensing and Vehicle licensing system works, that a simple grinding sound can be fixed with some copper LUBE, as well as apparently I type way faster than my brother could imagine, although i find it just fast enough to get what i need on the screen when i need it. My brother and I were arguing about Dodge vs. Chevy basically, because I am a MOPAR fan and he is a fan of GM(SCRAP). See I just purchased dodge, and my brother was telling me that fuel economy is way better on a GM... well i was looking on the internet to prove him otherwise and of course i find that they are equivalent. He told me that i was lying and all the typing i was doing was just creating the web site to show him that they were equal... Wow computer illiterate people piss me off.

Anyways, I believe there is a Mac Book Pro in my future as well as an iTouch... I have always wanted to get into Mac's and get away from these rancid PC's... however, I believe my cuz has supported me so I will give it a shot, if I don't like it I could probably sell it. But I'm sure I'll like it, get rid of this rancid PC once i get used to my Mac.

Anyways, I'll try to come up with better things to talk about on my blog, maybe some news or something interesting maybe. Not really to sure what to right on here, but cuz said anything and everything, so guru she be, i shall follow thee. Anyways, this is it for now...

P.S. What the F**K emoticon is represented by this symbol =:B (Oh, apparently it's a sleeping rabbit?!?!?!?!?!)

First Blog

Well hello everyone... I'm just starting to catch on, on this blogging thing... Kinda strange at first but when you read around and try to understand it kinda all makes sense...

Many times in life you think your alone, however, your not, not only are you not alone, these are millions of people in the world, more technically advanced then yourself. Don't forget that there are as well millions of people in this world you are not even computer literate (most of my friends).
Sorry not too sure where I was headed with that.

Anyways, hello to blogging world, my name is Matt and I was born and raised in Grey-Bruce country... Very much a hick/drug/retirement community. I'm not gonna lie, it is pretty depressing.

Today in the paper (well i guess yesterday now, since it is 3:30 in the morning) was talking about someone being beaten and stabbed because of their race. Now, I just find it strange that somehow this community is still stuck very deep in the past. Why can't everyone just get along. I think a big part of it is how limited everyone's knowledge is on the computer. That or all these little bastards that think they can just beat on someone becuase of their race, should be forced to live in a metropolis, on their own without thier friends to help them, then they can learn that people are still people, and you aren't tough, there is always someone bigger and stronger then you, willing to kick the shit outa you!

I can't believe one of my friends is still running dial-up interenet... LIKE WTF... althought his parents are just a couple out of those millions who aren't computer literate, so really they have no need for anything faster than dial up. Wait what am i saying... Who doesn't need high speed, look, if you use the internet at all, HIGH SPEED is a MUST!!!! without high speed, there shouldn't be an internet. i remember dial, it fucking sucked... no more will i ever operate on dial-up i'd rather use the slow network internet through my crackberry on telus than freakin dial up. Even to have to hear those sounds, it's like a nail on a chalk board.

I'm kinda glad i'm the age I am... I was born too late for many things, however, i think just the right time for technology...shit i'm going off on another tangent, better re create this so it can be another paragraph. Ok sorry, now that that's done... Alrighty then... Ok back to being born at the same age... I think i should've been born in the 70's or so, i'm no history major, talk to Brad about that... Anyways, the time just after the first fuel crisis, where there was all he fast cars, the chargers, challengers, mustang, YEEHAWW.... i really want to get into that now, however the way FUCKING fuel is going, i don't think i have a big chance in that industry... So i will stick to my trucks, slightly underpowered, however, will still get dirty and get me to the camp site in the farm field on the lake (good times).

Wow, my cuz (the mac guru, links to her later) told me that i should start a blog, and i said 'wtf would i write about' she said everything. Well somehow i have typed this whole thing in a few minutes. So anyways, i guess i will go to bed, I will try to keep this updated, for those of you who are reading it... (hahaha) not likely anyone so really this is just for my own enjoyment...

Oh ya, something quick to add, i believe i ordered a Mac Book Pro, but i put it on my visa which my limit is like half the price of the pro, so we'll see if i actually get it... AHHAHAHA... wish me luck. Night all (i guess that's just me for now)
