I don’t know how many you remember the war I had with Québec and their wacked out language laws.

While I was putting together my offensive forces I was please to have Grandad over at Head Rambles Manor offer me assistance. He had a few items left over that he wasn’t using to hunt tourists with so he passed over some of his surplus for me to use. He really didn’t want to get involved directly being from a neutral country and all.

I also wrote a letter to Vladimir Putin. My Idol. He didn’t write back. I guess he was busy dealing with George “Sparky” Bush. I was heart broken that he didn’t mail me back because I really thought he would love to launch a few nuclear missiles and be able to show Bush that he really meant business if he continued to mess around in his back yard.

Operation “French Fry” was a brilliant plan and armed with the left over weapons that Grandad gave me, I was sure this would work.

But I was able to get a reprieve from Stephen “Harpoon” Harper and he allowed me to move the Canuckastan Embassy back into my homeland in Canada.

I packed as fast as I could. Didn’t want to wait for Stephen to change his mind.

I really REALLY thought I remembered everything. But I guess I was wrong. I got word that I had forgotten something.

Anyways. Here is what happened.

I’m not sure if it was the manure spreader or the still I left in the back yard. Either way WOW!!

So anyways… Sorry!

Looks like I won’t have much of an excuse to not be updateing. The contract that I was working on in Yellowknife has been brought to a screeching halt. Long story that I can’t go into, nor will I because of professional and legal reasons.

So regular programming and twittering to commence tomorrow.

Meh.

Wow, what a year.

I really wanted to be able to update all the time. But a funny thing happened. They call it life.

So what happened? Well, to start with I took a job up north in Yellowknife that lasts until August of 2010. Not only does this mean I would be working in the city but there will be times when I will have to travel 650 Miles north of Yellowknife at a diamond mine.

This is where my updating is totally impacted. It isn’t that I don’t want to, and I am not lazy about updating it is just that having Internet access is sporadic and brutally slow. Even a 2400 Baud Modem is faster.

I had one hotel room with decent internet access, but that lasted lasted only a few days. After that, I was lucky if I could even start my web browser. it goes further, even my IPhone is useless. There is no data connections available. My carrier (Rogers) doesn’t have an agreement with any of the other carriers, which happens to be Bell Canada, so I can’t even hop onto their network.

So I am stuck using a carrier local to Yellowknife called ICE. Don’t ask me what that stands for. I have no clue and I am still contemplating what my next move is because I have a kick ass contract with Rogers that you can’t even get anymore. But to use my phone and make a call is .90 cents a minute for me to call someone and if someone calls me it costs .60 cents a minute. When I got back to Edmonton on December 18th, I had a $530.00 bill waiting for me.

To make matters worse, there is no guarantee that I will even be able to make a call or even receive. It’s a crap shoot.

But being a resourceful person, I have a plan, I think it will work but I need to check a few things out. But all I ask is if you are reading this and following my postings, hang in there. I will get things sorted. You will also see more video. I know there are a few out there that hate the videos, but trust me they will get better.

I am planning on driving my Jeep to Yellowknife, and I will document the journey because there are a couple of sections that I want to share, for instance the Ice Road. This is a road that is made on a river. I am not all to clear about it but when I get there I will be sure to give you some details about it. Also I have permission to record some video inside the mine with the exception of a few rooms that are highly secured and I do not want to be strip searched and x-rayed (again). I hope you won’t mind seeing the videos.

I will of course be my cranky self as well, and I do have a few items on my list that I need to grouse about.
