Almost two months have flown since my last post.
Work hasn’t been too bad even though they’ve been making a lot of noises and dust around my office changing the security system.
Private life: Do I have any???
Bought a new Master cylinder for the car, tried to install it (in the street, after work) whenever the weather permitted it. After two tries, the Master cylinder was installed but just to learn that the power booster was also defect.
We ordered a new one as soon as I could afford one, and installed it. After almost three weeks and a bit over $300 I had working breaks on the car. (I still have to bleed the brake lines).
This week, it was the turn of the battery to die on me. I know that it is not a big deal to change but it is still another $140 that I didn’t intend to spend on the car but better now then just before FF.
I had to go up to St-Donat two weekends to try and fix the septic system. The first weekend, I tried to unclogged the main draining pipe with extend amounts of Drano (and what’s not). I also try to use a fish but to no avail so on the second weekend we dug up the pipe.
We had to dig almost 4 feet deep and ten feet long through sands rocks and a ton of roots. I finally found the problems; the drain pipe had collapsed and the lower part of the pipe wasn’t the end at the septic end anymore.
I cut the pipe before and after the kink and installed a new one with two sliding rubber unions. Let just say that it wasn’t the most interesting job I ever did…
In these two months, I also was rushed at the last moments to create a head for my costume for the gay pride parade. The parade was fun even though I almost passed out near the end. Being covered from head to toes in leather (and PVC) with a triple layer of leather covering my head and only two small holes for breathing parading in the sun with almost no wind in one of the most hot day of the summer….
I never sweat like that day. Every time I was putting my hands down, it was like I was emptying a small glass of water. To help demonstrate how much I sweated that day, I drank over 20 L of water and went to the WC only once; the rest I sweated it in the two hours that lasted the parade.
The next week, I had quite a job to clean all my leather from the salt (all my leather was white from all the salt I had lost).
I also lost a weekend painting the front steel railing and steps of a friend’s triplex to help him.
This weekend I went with a friend to help him closing his camping site for the year. That wouldn’t have been to bad if he
We registered for FF and I commissioned three new badges (the one I love to wear is starting to wear the marks of the abuses and I decided to keep it in the safety of my house from now on. I still have to order a new collar for my Kildoo; the one I wore since I first got Kildoo has quite a repelling smell to it (damn human scent). I tried everything to get rid of that smell and I finally resigned myself to the idea of ordering a new one.
I hope I’ll have the time to prepare the costumes I would like Kildoo to wear for FF. I guess that I will be very busy in the two weeks prior to FF.
Next week is the anniversary of the BDSM club I am a member at and next Saturday, I will help them prepare the bar for it.
The following weekend marks the beginning of my last week of vacation for this year and I will go camping (same place as I went earlier this year). I sure do hope the weather will be good for us and that the colors will be astonishing. But before that I still have to find one day to go painting the steel railings and steps of my friend’s triplex. I also have to make the time to finish my repairs of the canoe.
The coming of FF is starting to excite me. I can’t wait to get in touch with so many of my friends and just enjoy life for a short while, what do I say now… not just enjoy life but burning it by both ends until I pass out from blissful enjoyments.
And now I have to make sure I have more time for my loving mate. I feel like I have neglected him lately. It is time for me to change that.
- Like a knight from some old fashioned book
- I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
- If i, if I have been unkind,
- I hope that you can just let it go by.
- If i, if I have been untrue
- I hope you know it was never to you.
- Like a baby, stillborn,
- Like a beast with his horn
- I have torn everyone who reached out for me.
- But I swear by this song
- And by all that I have done wrong
- I will make it all up to thee.
There are other changes in my life at the moment but that will be for the filtered part of my LJ…
Miss you all!
