| Yep, I've started on windows xp service pack 1, have my video drivers setup, basic updates, nothing to much, however, this will take 2-3days for me to "get back " to my old settings, from the failed setup of vista (well it worked, just it was like trying to play mac and windows 95, together....felt strange... and just didn't opperate properly anyways).
Bonus for today, i'm going to tour around Mirimache, (not certain of spelling), and i'll be biking, getting various pictures from various locations. And probably will post them here in a few hours or so. (or tommorow, if i'm going to be mega working on this pc alot, hehe).
And i'd love to hear how things are going out west, weather wise, life, how is, or was C&C tonight? (depending on when whomever reviews this!).
And i'm thoroughly getting tea/coffee, seems my grandparrents have tea, at least 2-3 times a day, occasionally 4 times. Though it could be a tad "stronger", and the same goes for the coffee, but i'm not complaining, it's enjoyable still.
Picked up the other day, more food supplies from the all wonderful M&M Meats! For those who are vegetarians, I appologize if this might seem "unfair" to describe, but hey, I picked up about 8 "single meals", 4 sets of 2 meals each. I believe, Sheperds Pie was there, lasagnea, fettituni alfredo, and I forget what else. Some good food though, plus the tradtitional Kraft Dinner as well.
Also, I wanted to mention that the bike shop here, nothing like some professional canadian tire, or similar. It's actually someone's garage, where they have bikes by the dozen's lined up, parts all over the place, greasy hands to greet you, and a big grin to top it off. Yep, definately in a small town now, had my grandparrents bikes tuned up, fixed breaks, and air pumped into the tires, etc. And instead of having the bike on the ground, or hoisted up with some mechanical device. They just rigged 2 tire tubes (deflated) on one of the cross beams of the garage, to loop around the handle bar's, (both ends of the tubes if partially stretched accross something), and one to loop around the bike seat. And the bike is literally suspended mid air, light as a feather, easy to move around and look at. These guys might look like they never went to college or university for mechanic's knowledge, but they could tell you what's what, And how to fix it, in any style of terms, any manor of discussion as if they were born with the knowledge and experience.
The tide, ah yes, the lovely tide of the ocean, rolls in every so often, rolls out yet again, and it is beautiful. The sea air, the breeze, the random rain storms, I miss the maratimes. And well, I hope I don't stay here, I do wish to return to calgary at my planned return date, August 16th. However, I still don't know for sure, if i'll miss being here.
A recent book i've started reading, was "Dinner with a Perfect Stranger" or something like that. As i've started to read into it, it's basically about an individual who is invited to a "surprise" dinner with this "Jesus of Nazareth" dude. (Of course we know who he is, however the individual believes it to be a spoof or something, the character, and so forth). But you get to learn all that in the first few pages anyways. I am still reading into the book, probably 30-40 pages into it. However It's very amazing, and yet, feels as if so far, the Jesus character is being portrayed correctly!
Well I better be off, I have to reboot the pc, my sound drivers are now installed. So i'll catch ya'all later. (Pray that I bike well, I haven't been on a bike for a year, though I am sure it's still easy, lol )
