Never trust...

The late Roy Garber, that in my opinion, provided professionalism with humour and practical intellect, to this program, which is one of the few on television that has me laugh:

Quote: Never trust a Carney, a Hippy, or my ex-wife.

Quite similar to what I would hear my Dad state when I was very little...in regard to Hippies, anyway.

(I know there are sincere Christian, Hippies, such as an ex-pastor of mine)

Faith healing cats?

Yes, I believe God can heal, within his sovereign will.

Poor Chucky???

Why would anyone nuke Chucky?

On Sunday, our Pastor preached on this subject (indirectly as he discussed sin) and used similar data from online. So, of course, I am curious to what would happen to my good friend, Chucky, in a nuclear war/attack. And of course, Chucky, with his non-resistance view, reasons no one would have any reason to attack him, so this is purely 'hypothetical'.

Of course being the good guy I am, I picked the most powerful hydrogen bomb available, to make it 'hypothetically' over ASAP. As you should know, I take care of my friends, Chucky and Bobby Buff, etc... Not to mention that I live in Maple Ridge, too...

On a serious note, I philosophically favour universal and bilateral, not unilateral (by the West), nuclear disarmament. But the technology would still exist.

To be more kool

By the way, contrary to The Rage, I think Howard James Chucko looks very professional with his dome cut almost to the bone.

Bookkeeper par excellence.

To be fair, The Rage has a kool ultra dome and with shades looks like someone to avoid.

For Chucko, no more confusion with Mr. Hooper, the Shake 'n Bake guy or worse...my Strata President and wife, thinking Chuck was my Dad (???).

And he was called Chucko (???) by the Strata President.

But, are dreadlocks an answer for The Rage or Chucky to be more kool?

Of course some people assume I am tossing back burgers...

Party friendly

Today was the first female friend tour of the 'new place'.

I received a very good review from my neighbour and friend, Mrs. Buff, accompanied by Mr. Bobby Buff, that had separately assisted with much of the clean-up work.

I also received some tablecloth tips from Mrs. Buff.

So, based on my professional renovations, and my checking on the internet, I can reason that my new renovations and clean-up are female friendly...

That means I passed.

There are more smaller condominium projects to chip away at over time. But this place is party friendly.

I am looking forward to watching some of the Stanley Cup Playoffs in the warmer Spring season downstairs in the 'new' living room as it becomes quite warm up here in the loft that time of year. I would watch the UEFA Champions League Final in the living room as well, but it has exited my cable package...

I received bonus points for hiding my academic library in the closet (storage room), out of the loft, living area. Brilliant idea by God's grace.

Tablecloth theology

Continuing with clean-up and fixes after the professional new flooring, furniture and dishwasher; today I purchased a new tablecloth for our family dinner table.

This table is dated back to our move to Pitt Meadows as I was a child and probably back to my beginnings in Port Coquitlam.

The wood needs some re-polishing, so in the meantime I decided I would buy a good quality tablecloth for the table. The tablecloth is slightly over-sized in order to still cover the table if one or two of the extensions is added.

I need some expert to make the tablecloth look 'perfect', I admit.

I chose the most macho/masculine looking colour I could find which thankfully also appeared to be a very good material.

Linked In is Facebook for boring people

I have stated previously:

Linked in is Facebook for boring people.

But through work, meeting with a professional, I learned today that one's Curriculum Vitae (CV) is directly tied to one's Linked In page. One should professionally support the other...

Frozen thoughts

My view.

Thank you to Mr. James Lee.

Facebook: I have heard a British radio station (online) cut-off a caller because he was calling from the loo.

Facebook; Is it not common sense to clean the snow off before driving? This person should receive a ticket for lack of common sense and avoid substances that cloud the mind.

Renovations: Finale

The loft, technically the second living area now, but still my office. My small bedroom attached as is a sunroom, the only room that was not renovated, but still cleaned-out and cleaned-up.

Much more room, minus my academic library.

Again, my new academic library in the storage room.

Technically, the main living area, formerly the domain of the Boss.

Still the same, but the carpet is in front of the gas fireplace now.

The guest room with options...

Now, the condominium just needs some paint and patch. If you can do it well, without spilling, I might hire you.

Renovations Four: Taken To The Cleaners?

I just finished the final clean-up and now every renovated room is basically ready for reasonable living and reasonable hosting of human beings.

The sunroom, the only non-renovated room is also cleaned up. This photo is my new academic library in the storage room instead of my loft.  It has new flooring. I have now with much help, created  two rather open living areas with television as in the upstairs loft and the downstairs living room.

By the way, Folex (Oregon) works very well in cleaning coffee grinds off of new carpeting on stairs, as I knew it would. I was prepared having stocked up. There was items (mostly from the Boss) everywhere and accidents happen, but with Folex you are laughing.

So, with my virtually new place that now just needs some paint and some cover up, I have taken my place to the cleaners and now I need to continue to be prayerfully, theologically and philosophically, careful with the ladies, Christian Singles and (Lord forbid, says some) the Christian Young Adults, because if I do get married one day, I want a committed wife that will not eventually divorce me.

That will not take me to the cleaners and try to take my place...

Expect that sort of angle, this is a satire website.

I will try to post some bright photos tomorrow.

Is that your Dad!? (Uncle Chuck)

Sesame Street

Recently, I had mentioned to the Strata President and his wife that my Dad might be moving into the condominium in a few months, for awhile...

The renovations (flooring, furniture, appliance) are completed, but my academic books and the annoying photocopy binders are a major task in themselves.

Uncle Chuck and I were in the garage taking out recycling and trash...

Paraphrased:

Strata President: (To me, looking at Chuckles) Is that your Dad!?

Me: No that is Chuckles, my friend Howard, you have met him before, he is helping me move.
Uncle Chuckles!

Strata President: Uncle Chucko?

Strata President Wife: You are Russ's Dad!?

The Rage: Chuck needs a dome!

Me: Well,'The Rage' told you, Mr. Hooper...

Bizarre football images

I have posted some bizarre  European football posts on this website, but this may be the most bizarre. Satirically, it looks like the player is having his butt hair blow-dried, or his butt freeze-dried. (Some kind of on field repair)

Renovations Three: Living room basically done

The professional flooring (and door repair) is completed. I have been working basically 8 am to 10 pm with breaks the previous three days. I still have massive clean-up, mainly with the property of the Boss, that lived downstairs and now lives down the road, in residence. I have taken her former main floor over as well as keeping my top floor. I also need to set-up my academic library. This time in a storage room, not my loft.

The seating is brand new, as is the flooring. The rug, I believe was made by Grandma Berreth when I was very little, or before.

Still a ways to go. The new dishwasher will not be installed until February 16, and the old one removed.

Renovations: Two

Good news: That is the new carpet underneath. Bad news: Furniture and stuff from the Boss's old room has been moved there temporarily.

But, the new carpet and colour works much better aesthetically with the walls than the previous gold carpet.

My loft and office with what looks like a concrete column through it...

Not my idea of Greco-Roman.

Needless to state, I cannot do much up here today...

This is a good way to force fasting...

I am trapped up here with my cans of Perrier. Tomorrow, I will be trapped down there. But, at least near the food.

Renovations: One

The surprise snowfall made moving my trash, most of it within the Boss's section of the condominium, much chillier. Frightful, not delightful, but snow does look nice.

We filled up the building garbage bin, but were greatly assisted by a likely bin diver taking much of what we had added, and this allowed us to fill the bin up again. Thank you very much. Perhaps my old furniture is at the local tent city, now. We also topped off all the paper recycle bins. 

My dear Boss's former section, she now lives just down the road. The carpet took a beating from all the careworker visits and her walker. It would be much worse, but I would clean and scrub my hand, certain soiled areas every few weeks.

Bobby Buff was shocked I moved by myself my old metal, wood and vinyl reclining chair (the one that ate my last Samsung Android) two stories down stairs and then outside down stairs, on the side of the road for him and his Dad to pick up for the dump.

I told him to remember that he named me the Kingpin...

The floor in process. The most bizarre items left behind by the Boss were a pair of former shower doors and metal railings (???) from a previous home. I had no idea they were in storage under the stairs, and wondered why the heck they were kept.  Every room is receiving new flooring, apart from the sunroom which has a hard industrial like floor.

To be honest, with my years of academic work heading to a PhD,  and then pursuit of related employment, I 'punted' on some and much clean-up, until I knew the Boss would soon be placed in residence and am now paying the price. For example, my cabinet full of MPhil/PhD photocopies which I have featured on Dr. Russell Norman Murray (website) in the past; I wisely decided I would never use those and that they needed to be tossed. That was much work separating paper from plastic for recycling. It also featured two paper cuts until I put plastic gloves on...

Dummy

1funny.com

Very busy last couple of days with meetings.

Today in the Fraser Valley, I thought I would be meeting with a man and his dummy; instead he did not want to discuss that ministry (to children) much at all.

Unbeknownst to me, he wanted to discuss another ministry he was leading which features significant publishing.

Who knew? (God of course)

Many thanks to you and your wife for hosting me!
