It Is Happening Again…

Oh the joys of being renters.
So earlier this past week, I got home from a shift at work and I notice a sign in the front yard. I ask Justin about it, and low-and-behold it is a For Sale sign. Yay our landlords are putting their house for sale. At least they are going to try to sell the house with us in it. Except that we are going to try and find a new place before that. I have a list of suites to look at, now I just have to call them and set up appointments. If we’re lucky, we can be moving next weekend.
Although the part that really sucks is that we just started organizing our spare room. We have been here a year and only last week did I set up my desk in the spare room. So much for that. Hopefully our next place is bigger. Then we could actually have people over.
Anyways, just wanted to put a little update. I have to get back to cooking dinner before going to class. Ta Ta For Now

Hunting Cliffnotes

October 17 - 20, 2014

We left Friday night after we both got off from work. We headed straight out to Kelowna, as one of Justin's co-workers said that the hunting for grouse up there was awesome. He had been up there two weeks earlier and got about 19 grouse and some rabbits. (Which looking at the reg book afterwards, he is over his possession total for the grouse and if they were cottontail rabbits, those are illegal to shoot.) So here is the synopsis of everywhere that we went...

**Kelowna**
Beaver Lake FSR, Grizzly, Philpot - saw 2 grouse, 1 rabbit, and 1 white tail doe (we bought a white tail tag before going up) in two days. Not impressed at all.

**Rock Creek**
I don't know the name of the road that we went up. But after having an argument on whether to go forward or turn around (we decided to go forward thankfully) we ended up seeing grouse. Saw one covey of 6, then two coveys of 2. We should of stayed in Rock Creek instead of moving over to Tulameen...
Shot - 7 total -- Lisa 2 (including the only Spruce grouse) Justin 5

**Mount Baldy (between Rock Creek and Oliver)**
My bright idea to go up this FSR as a detour between Rock Creek and Osoyoos. Except we only saw one grouse and the road that was supposed to go back down to the highway didn't go through on the GPS but did in the map book so we decided not to go down it and ended up going to Oliver instead.
Shot - 1 total - Justin 1 (he shot it with the .22)

**Tulameen**
Only saw one grouse on either road that we went onto. We camped at the boat launch and finally had a fire.

Shot - 1 total - Justin 1

Total grouse for weekend: 9 --- Lisa 2, Justin 7

Tulameen - Britton Creek Rest Area
40km drive
Saw 3 grouse. Shot 1 - Justin

Stay on Tulameen side as there were no grouse once we turned onto Lawless-Britton FSR. Although we did see a young bull moose about 5 km away from the rest area.

First Grouse of 2014

September 19-21

Grouse hunting

☆Boston Bar☆
-anisle fsr.  no grouse. They have been logging up the fsr so any habitats are now ruined.

☆ Kamloops ☆
- Jamieson fsr. Saw 6 grouse total. Shot 3 total. Lisa 1 Justin 2.
- O'Connor fsr. Saw nothing.  Farm land. Google Earth area to see if goes back into sub alpine.
***Google Earth to see what else is down Westsyde.***

☆100 Mile House☆
-Keene Rd. Saw 2 grouse total. Shot 1. Justin 1. Justin blew its head off.  Lots of roads all interconnected. 

☆Clinton☆
- ski hill loop. Saw covey of 5 birds. Shot 2 by Justin. Lesson for Lisa: ALWAYS take a gun when you have to go to the bathroom.

☆Tunkwa Lake Rd☆
- saw no grouse.

Overall, it was an okay weekend.  Lots of driving. Too much heat for the birds still. High 20s in late September = not good grouse hunting

The Creation

This past weekend Justin and I went grouse hunting. While driving home we were discussing how many times we went last year. Neither of us could remember so I decided that I would create hunting Cliffnotes posts. This way I can keep track of where we went, how many animals we saw and shot.
The post will start with a breakdown of the above.  Then if I have time, I will add a larger story to the post or create a new post later and link back to that specific cliffnotes post.
Tada! Smartness of the brain. It is rare, but it does happen.

Crazy Antics at the Gas Station

Greetings and salutations!

It has been awhile. A lot has happened in the past few months.  I got laid off from the tool store. (Assholes). Not getting into that. Anywho, I now have a job at the gas station.  I know the owners, worked for them before. Bottom line: they like me.
So I have been here now for just over a month and a half and the stupidity of people continues to amaze me. My best friend, Jenn, would verify that as she gets almost daily text messages from me commenting on the stupidness of others. So this morning while texting Jenn again, I came up with a brilliant idea of writing a book about the stupid people.  Only problem is I don't have enough material to write an entire book so I'm making a blog post instead. 

I now present to you, the stupidity of people at the gas station!

♤ Not turning the knob on the paper towel dispenser to get towel. They inform me it is out of paper.  I know it isn't as I just filled it. May need a sign mentioning the knob on the side...oh wait. There is one.

♧ Not locking the bathroom door.  There is a sign directly above the handle explaining how to lock the door. Yet people don't read it. Those are the people who have other people walk in on them.

♢ The door out is marked 'push'. Do not pull. If it is after 9pm, do not go to the other door and try pulling. That door is locked now and won't open either way. Fire regulations on all businesses require that the exit doors push out in case of an emergency. 

♤ Holding up the gas hose to get "the last of the gas out" after the pump has reached your selected pre-authorized amount does not actually do anything. There is three different valves between the pump and the nozzle that all shut when it is done. Holding up the hose does not do anything. 

♧ In your car, where the gas icon on your dash is there is a little arrow. That little arrow is pointing in the direction as to which side of the car your gas tank door is located on. 

There was more to this list, but as I started writing this a week ago I have misplaced the list. I will add a second addition to this post as more antics happen.
As for now, take care until next time. :-)

Take This Job And Shove It….

….I ain’t working here no more!!

Greetings!!

I may actually be making more postings in the future. Tool store fired me. Yay! Not. Well kind of. It has its good sides and its bad sides.

Good side: I wanted out of there anyways. They were not a good company to work for. I liked my co-workers but did not like the company. The dynamics there were backwards.
Bad side: I now don’t have a job and get to go through the “fun times” of applying for something new.
Good side: I now have more time at home to clean and organize. Which seriously needs to be done. I just can’t organize to my full extent as I don’t have any extra money to buy some bins to put everything in.
Bad side: No money coming in (from me) so being very cheap on everything. So no going out to eat.

So that is what is up with me lately. I really need to start doing more recipe posts again. Made the most amazingly delicious trout cakes with a cream cheese sauce last night. There was one left over from dinner that I just ate for breakfast. So good!

It is now time to apply for more jobs. Keep your fingers crossed that I get something soon.

Tata for now!!
