I Loved Last Sunday

Not in the city anymore.

This is CFB Borden, our Forces largest training facility, and birthplace of our Air Force. I came to cheer on my friends who competed all weekend in a long range rifle competition.

En route to the range, I saw this.

They were filming a helicopter scene, kinda neat. Here’s the IMDB page, here’s some good photos at BlogTO.

I doubt this applies to me. Carry on. Keri on.

Found my friends, watched the award ceremony. The ORA is 130 years old this year; that’s old.

That’s how long range rifle wins are celebrated.

Bet you an Eos has never before been photographed in this setting.

We always go to Tim’s after. 

These guys have been my pals for years, and they know me well.  Left is Mark and on the right is Andy, to whom I gave the first quilt I ever made, click here to see.

While I was away from the table they put part of my cookie in a tiny ziploc bag. Then when taking this photo, I turned back and they’d been holding it up for the camera.

I’m not even gonna try to explain the joke, but all of Borden heard my laugh. That ziploc is on my fridge now.

Then I came home to these giant Twitter threads.

I found this extremely funny.

The green arrow points to what kicked it all off, and this will likely make zero sense to you, but just know: the top right was how it was.

Twitter has changed a lot, back in 2008 it was just… different. If you don’t use Twitter you won’t understand this.

Actually, if you don’t, I don’t understand you. It’s the great equalizer!  Like, you _do_ realize you can now reach anyone in the world.  That’s never existed before.

Then to cap off my fantastic Sunday, random fireworks #GoodSign

 

 

 

Hi From Ottawa, I’m Helping My Brother Move

Proud of the kid, he’s off to conquer the radio broadcasting world in another province. He will, too.

It amazes me you can rent all of the above, without ever proving you can drive it.

That’s not a shot at my brother, he’s excellent with cars and actually, if you live in Ottawa and talk cars online you probably know him.

Once I made a welcome post for RedLiners.ca, during my Exploring a Race Car episode. Which features zero footage of me actually driving the thing, even though I super did; it was not my fault.

However, it remains as maybe my best video screenshot ever, behold.

While in Ottawa he took me to Kenny’s, this nicely organized junkyard where I got little things, like a new hazard light and window button.

You sign a waiver, go in, tear what you want off, pay on the way out.

See the price of the key fobs? That’s like, $200 minimum at the dealership. That’s the trick.

This sums up how awesome my brother is… despite having so much to do, he insisted on going over my car.

I’m laughing too hard here.

My brother can make me laugh harder than almost anyone.

Here’s one of my favourite videos ever, talking to him on the phone one night…

Congratulations on the new job, Pete, it’s gonna be great and I love you!! xo Keri

Quick Update

Hi!

Had a great time at the rally yesterday, thanks again Ford!  It started with a slalem course, which of course I did as fast as possible, and want to do all day every day forever.

That’s Ryan Durrell, my teammate for the day, hey buddy!

The Ford Focus’ trunk is roomy.

I’ll tell you more about it soon, but for now, just some fast things.

Getting my hair cut today – Brennen Demelo Studio.

My home is also all polished omg so good. How people function in a home with stuff everywhere, I’ll never understand. My head becomes cluttered.

It’s really too bad about the mail strike.

As you know I LOVE mail. I even made a video that time, My Gift Idea to You.

Look how lit up my face below, holding my mail. On the right was what was inside the box, thanks again Vitamin Water!

The mystery continues as to why half my car windows won’t go down.

I read the manual, learned about fuses, changed the correct fuses, still nothing. My poor passengers are melting.

Ugh, anyone have any ideas, let me know.

Kay gotta run, have a great afternoon, TTYS!

A Chair Covered in ‘Life Admin’

Life Admin: all the paperwork you have to do, that’s horribly dull and tedious, like bills & spreadsheets, taxes & filing, but must be kept on top of so that life runs smoothly.

Specifically, it’s a pile of tertiary-level Life Admin.

It was on a shelf, until I decided by putting it there, I’d deal with it faster. It’s not an effective method, you just end up sitting on it.

It took 90 minutes, and wasn’t that painful.

Life Admin in action.

Claiming ownership of this expression, it now belongs to me, forever, throughout the universe, into perpetuity.
