I had a nice ride to Mount Sylvester on Sunday. The Band Council’s Economic Development Department sponsered a ride into the mountain and back. They also had a planned stop at one of the Band’s Hunting Lodges where we all enjoyed soup, sandwiches and Hot Dogs.

It was a nice ride on a great day. Unfortunately Siobhan couldn’t go with me (due in 5 weeks) but I did get my pal Cory to join in the ride.

We spent about 7 hours on the trails and travelled about 120 kilometers. My Polaris Trail Touring DLX 550 fan burned 23 liters of gas for the whole trip.

Pictures can be found here.

A picture is worth a thousand words…

Have fun Brayden!

Of course, I can play too!

My 29th birthday came and passed the other day. Siobhan gave me a wonderful gift and she made me a fantastic cake.

We also had a visit to our Nurse Practitioner and I managed to record a little video clip of our baby’s heartbeat.

Gotta run now. Suppertime!

I was in St. John’s last week to do a wireless course. I had to leave Siobhan home all by herself.

I had the evenings all to myself so I did what any other self-respecting father to be would do and went baby shopping. Looks like I wasn’t the only one with that idea.

To make a long story short. I came to the sudden realization that this whole baby thing was real. I left St. John’s with barely enough room to fit a book in the CR-V.

One nice thing I learned about baby stuff is that the manufacturers don’t want to be held liable if you fool something up while assembling it so almost everything for babies is already assembled.

Now for the long journey home. I thought I would share a few pics of Max, our Super Mutt with you.

Max discovered his food dish on the floor. He was too lazy to get off his butt to eat though!

We stopped at the pull over spot by Dunphy’s Pond in Terra Nova National Park. This is Max’s bathroom spot of choice. He’s always nosy and goes sniffing in the bush before he decides to do his dirt so you don’t have to worry about stepping in any of his do-do. He was actually quite energetic here for once!

I guess that little run was too much for Max. He decided to have a little rest.

We are home now. Siobhan’s belly is still growing (The pic above was taken about a half hour ago) and Max is upstairs sleeping.

Later all! Hope you enjoyed the update!!!

I am in St. John’s right now. I have just finished a 2-day course titled “Designing and Deploying Wireless WANs” with Jack Unger as the Instructor. If you are at all interested in wireless technology I would have to recommend this 100%. It covers many technical aspects that I thought I had some idea about but have since learned that I really had no idea. I have already put some some knowledge into effect by connecting two Linksys WRT54G wireless routers to one another to extend a network with the help of Steve Drew. My next step is to extend that link to 1 kilometer. Beyond this I have learned a great deal of knowledge regarding what’s required in the setup of a wireless ISP and the science behind the scenes.

Highly recommended!
