Some great footage here! if I do say so myself! we've had a couple of beautiful Fall days. Sad it gets darker so quick and it's about to get darker when the time changes...
'CallYou' surprised me by now jumping up on the lawn chair and taking her peanuts from there, which is awesome, I wish she would have though of that earlier! Enjoy the vid!
Ok, so 'LilGuy's' footage is towards the end, but then you'll miss 'Hoppy' aka 'Stumpy'! So what them all!!
The days are growing shorter and soon the 'Munks will be sleeping (Remember, they don't 'hibernate per se).... So yeah short 'Munk vid, but Stumpy shows up later.
Some fog/smoke machine shop talk and ..I dig out the Winter gear.... All this and more, on today's video:
So, we last left off, our sister and her husband Larry came to town. We've only met 3 times and so it was great to spend time with them and let them see a bit of the 'history' my Dad, brother's and I had here in Fredericton... Seems to me I'm recalling I did write about our adventure at our old homestead on Elmcroft place.
So, that's it, I was off to Saint John with Gordy. We left after Dad's birthday dinner at our other Brother Scott's place.
So, the video will have a bit of that trip..
What it does not have though is the craziness that happened to me as my Brother and I ran some errands around uptown Saint John on Friday night...
First we went to, aw damn I dunno SJ that well but it's uptown, it's kinda a mall that has Giant Tiger, some bar, a Dollarama and the 'Mr.Music' store (which sells absolutely NO music anymore)... Anyhow, we hit Dollarama and the cashier there was undressing me with her eyes, I didn't make eye contact, no offense, but she was hideous.. I know, I know, I'm no looker myself.. but man... Yikes. Then I had to pee real bad, so we entered the mall and head down this long, long, longgggg, hallway to the bathrooms..
We entered the men's.. of course, and Gord took a stall and I went around the middle stall to the urinal...
As I began my business Gord began to say that a lot of junkies and bums come in these bathrooms to shoot up and stuff... It was at that moment, a second voice joined the conversation and it was the voice of a woman....
The first thought was, 'ok, no big deal, it's a transgendered person using the bathroom.. But nope..
The female voice said, "I like to come in the men's bathroom because it's quieter, too many women are shooting up in the women's bathroom"....
I finished my biz and began to step back and my back hit this outcropping on the wall and I kinda ricochet off the wall and as I came around the corner, there was this .. woman.. thin as a rake, she had foundation in thick streaks randomly on her face. She was still ranting on about how the mens bathroom is awesome to shoot up in, I washed my hands, Gord came out, washed his hands and we left.
We had a conversation with the woman at Mr.Music about our run in in the bathroom and she began to regal us with all kinds of horror stories from the mall...
So we left and headed off to our next stop, some pizza in uptown SJ at one of Gord's favorite 'za joints.
While at the counter there... All of a sudden this woman's hand and arms come around from behind me and she's pressing up against me and she says, "Excuse me dear" as she reaches for the napkins.. All find and good but I didn't need to be .... touched.... in that way....
That woman turns out Gord 'knew' just because he lived in that neighborhood a few years ago and this woman was one of the local drunks... Apparently she lives in a ground hog day, and it's not all just from the booze. She had been married, kids, a job and had an accident and ended up in a coma for a while, when she came round, she had no short and long term memory. She'd not remember you in a matter of hours or the next day.
So that was Saint John! Fun stuff eh?
Sunday the neighbors finished up all their moving out and tonight new people moved in. It's two brother's and a sister from Somalia. I was told they just got in then country, they had nothing, but today the Multicultural Association helped get them set up with some furniture and bedding I believe.
Alright, videos!
Some of Dad and Lisa's visit and some new LED lights i got going.
The pugs have left the building.... Been sad watching my neighbors move out piece by piece. Tonight is their last night in the house. For a month I'll be solo until they rent out the front apartment.
They've had two families check it out so far. I'd prefer a family over some reckless partying students...
Man, I'm way behind on the the vids! My laptop is chugging slower and slower all the time. Though the new ext hard drive would give me some speed back but processing the videos, even like under 10 minutes can take up to an hour or more, then uploading them to YouTube can take a bit as well....
So I've finished vids, but it was like way past bedtime when I got them, to YouTube and then just forgot I had to bring 'em here:
So, 3 awesome vids for ya's! Lots of 'Munk action!
Like this one says, 'More Chaos AND Stumpy'!
Oddly titled, but still more 'Munk power! - No, I didn't eat any chipmunks in my tacos
And as I wrote for the Youtube video, this isn't gross in ANY way, it's just missing a little hair here and there where they were.
I was surprised, I thought one of the other 'munks that come from that direction was the 'bot 'munk', I was wrong.
Good to see it's got rid of them. It seemed glad to see me, jumping right on my pant leg more than once.
I hope this is a 'Summer' thing and that all the critters, yes, squirrels too are free of such parasites, it's Nature, but man, just yuk!
