That didn’t last long.\u00a0 I decided that getting little bits and bobs out would just bore everyone, so I’ll digest my entries instead.<\/p>\n
Wednesday (aka Day 3) was another bike in with Dan day.\u00a0 Work, met Dan to taste test Kichesippi<\/a> beer, work,\u00a0 home to eat and change, then I went to the book launch of Hiking Trails of Ottawa, the National Capital Region, and Beyond<\/a>. The author, Michael Haynes gave an interesting talk, and answered questions before signing copies for us.\u00a0 I went on my own, and I felt that I possibly was the only person there that didn’t previously know Michael.<\/p>\n Thursday: another day, another bike in with Dan.\u00a0 On Thursday, I reminded myself the hard was about integrating changes from one code base when you have one of the to-be-integrated-into files open for edit.\u00a0 For those that don’t know, it doesn’t actually work the way you think it might.\u00a0 That night I was supposed to go out with people from work for dinner and drinks, but it was a rainy evening, and I was on my bike, and I had to pick up my suit from the cleaners, so I begged off, and ended up going to IKEA and having bright ideas about storage, and a hot dog and lingonberry juice.\u00a0 I also fixed the fiction section of my library.\u00a0 It is very neat and streamlined now.<\/p>\n Friday:\u00a0 I got the keg for the Phoques party.\u00a0 Pretty good stuff! I robocleaned the pool.\u00a0 I discovered that it doesn’t do a good job of cleaning up the dead algae, but it could be because I didn’t put the filter back on properly after cleaning it the last time.\u00a0 I helped Dan move his deck<\/a> frame back in place, then I went back to IKEA after making the requisite measurements and bought some new storage shelves.\u00a0 Now I can make the non-fiction section of the library neat and streamlined.<\/p>\n After all that, Dan and Maria picked me up and we went to Dennis and Rachelle’s wedding!\u00a0 Very fun, but it was kind of lonely being there on my own.\u00a0 I also got a new DSL modem! Just in time for the weekend! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Saturday: Team Awesome was supposed to go to Penny’s Fudge Factory, but it was pouring out, and I was hung over from the wedding, and when Dan called saying that he didn’t think he was going to make it, I shouted hallelujah, and went back to bed.<\/p>\n I put the shelves together, bought food for the party, chatted with my family (finally!) and watched soccer.<\/p>\n Sunday: Party!!!\u00a0 Whooo!\u00a0 It was a good day for it too, sunny and warm, with a good turn out, good burgers, warmish pool and good times.<\/p>\n Good times are always accompanied by bad times, so I had trouble sleeping with an upset stomach.\u00a0 Boo!<\/p>\n
