Wrapping Up This Week

Busy week!  Squished a lot of activity, kilometres and things.

In no particular order.

My hair is coming back to a proper blonde from being that awful shade of urine when two weeks ago I said goodbye to being bright bright blonde.  No way around having that colour, that’s the price of platinum.

Still surprised when I look in the mirror. Still unimpressed with myself for caring about hair colour so much. Ya ya, I am a brand and all that, but come on, no one is shooting at me, you know?

Fact.

If you’re curious about “Operation Rue the Day” ask me IRL.

You’ll love it, I can’t publicly tell you, and concludes in one week.

I’ve harped on you about this before, and now again: please call right now the oldest person you know, and tell them you’re thinking of them.  They need it.

My peonies are coming in beautifully.

I stick my face in flowers for long as I can remember. Why wouldn’t you? It’s soft and smells great. There’s a shot in my Canadian Explorer Intro of me doing that.

Gardening seems like the most boring thing ever, maybe when I’m 80 I’ll give it a go. I’ll only grow flowers. I could maybe see myself getting into seeds too, if only because of this.

The most exciting thing that happened to me this week was my trip with Honda Canada to Niagara Falls.

They put us up at Ontario’s only 5 star country inn, the Pillar and Post.

Here’s the only photo taken during dinner.

Because the best part about dinner was: none of us touched our phones. At ALL. That’s refreshing.

A dream come true.

Here’s the keys to one of only 400 Civic HFP‘s in Canada, Keri! Now get out there and drive hard.

More on that later, obviously it’ll have its own post, also have video of my skills.

Kay gotta run, driving up north for the night, have a good one TTYL

 

Sorry For the Un-Updated Yesterday

Been crushing my keyboard, just not with public stuff.

It’s a challenge juggling blog jobs… keep it afloat with content, keep it afloat with logistics, planning and executing, travel, maintaining a steady internet connection, physical maintenance of my tools , this thing is supposed to make money how, and that’s not even the tip of the iceberg.

I love it. 

This is neat: if you watch TV in the Toronto area,

it likely comes through here, Telesat,

down in my beloved Cherry Beach.

Stay clear of these for a while too, the ‘Service Ontario’ kiosks, they were hacked today.

Cleaning up an identity theft is far more involved than a credit card; use a human teller until they get their machines secured.

Also – change your LinkedIn password… they were hacked Tuesday.

Me Today & Me Yesterday

Great action shot, eh.

It’s SO NICE to be shifting again, I haven’t since the fall.

Thanks for the PEN, Olympus.

Hope you had a great #ThursdayNight, best night of the week! 

Get out there and crush your Friday, TTY on Twitter.

 

Monday is Car Swap Day

I’ve seen these fellas every Monday for the past four weeks.

That’s me, Robert (General Manager) and Richard (President), hi guys welcome to my blog!

I’m at BHG Media Fleet, one of Canada’s premiere press car and fleet management companies. They’re a class act.

And because they manage a variety of car brands, I’ve been able to return here each Monday, but not today.

Today was a trek… downtown Toronto to Mississauga, then Mississauga to Markham, a 60km journey involving six different buses. Uh-huh.

Luckily, SO luckily, I met Mike at BHG and he kindly drove me to Markham. Thanks, Mike!

We talked cars and the internet along the way, and get THIS: he does not own a cel phone.

Neat eh, because as I’ve harped on you before:  it’s good to take breaks from online.

Arrived in Markham at Honda’s Canadian headquarters, and picked up this week’s car, a Honda Civic SI.

It’s standard YES. Haven’t shifted gears since last fall.

See how simple and clean the interior is?  This is a driver’s car.

If you hear excessive and superfluous engine revving this week, wave hi as I blur by, wink.

Lastly – apologies for the heavy car-themed-posts these days, but I’m working on something here.

That’s all I’m going to say for now; you know how jinx-y I am.
