Summer is ending, which is unfortunate, it's my favourite season and theres more I wanted to do. I don't mind the other seasons at all, but summers are usually the nicest here. A friend and I hung out and went skateboarding outside for the first time. We found a neat semi-hidden basketball court and just skated around there. I don't really want to go to the skate park, since I only recently learned to balance and turn. Another friend and I have been having a few jam sessions with the various instruments we have, mostly guitar, drums, and bass. It's always a good time, even if both of us aren't the greatest.
At some point I want to overhaul this website stylistically
Busy week at work. Yesterday we went to repair a bridge, which was a nice change of pace but hard work. To get the supplies/materials to the bridge we drove as far as we could into the bush, and carried everything through the bushes probably for around 300-400 meters. The main thing was the wood planks which were probably 3-4 meters long and maybe 30-50 pounds each. We tore off the old wood and used around 7 or 8 planks to replace it. Hard work, but it was satisfying when it was finished
Today I walked around 12-13 kilometers, but I'm less tired than I was yesterday (still sore though). I've gotten pretty used to it. It's a good job but I still kind of wish I had a bit more free time, or at least had more energy after work to do things
it was a long weekend, so i went camping with a couple of friends. we planned on taking a ferry to a nearby island, and then kayaking/canoeing to another smaller nearby island. it was a fun time, even through we messed up/forgot a bunch of stuff, most notably water. we were going to bring a pretty big container of water to last most of the weekend, but we forgot to fill it and so we only had around 5 or 6 bottles of water to last 3 days. the food was pretty good, i had forgotten how good fire-cooked hot dogs are
so its a new year, and stuff has happened. first thing related to this website is that i'm going to split up the updates by year, so the pages don't get too long. i kind of forgot to work on or even update this website throughout winter break cause i was busy with holiday stuff. speaking of which, christmas and the new year were nice as usual. spent time with the family and got some cool things, like a battery powered amp and a new hat with a leaf on it.
new years eve was especially fun, i had a bunch of people over. we played some drinking games and video games, and messed around with our instruments. we recorded a bunch of videos spoofing ghost hunter shows and music interviews and they were pretty great. i was the cameraman most the time, i'm not much of an actor.
that was kind of the peak of my break, because i was snowed in the rest of the time, and then i got sick. it was nice to have a few weeks to do nothing, things are starting up again with school. this semester sounds like its going to be more fun than the last one, but i'm not letting my guard down again. it's in person again, but i kind of wish it weren't
