The Website of Kyle Thomas (KyleWith)
Today was a morning of buying and an afternoon of sales.
Ikea was the morning where we spent our share and walked out with a Table, desks and bee hive lamps, I’ll explain later.
In the afternoon we demoed a printer.. with a sales man of all sales man. But I should hold my tounge, because the guys was nice and I believe honest.
Whyte Ave was the chosen dinner place at a great little place where I got my hands on a delicious burger and french onion soup.
You can ignore my Christmas Eve post, it was written in spite and while I was not feeling well. I have moved passed that once again and had a pleasant Christmas Day. It was a Tradition day with Family. We eventually all got up at about 8am and started our Christmas Morning. It was a good time.
After we had opened all presents, it was time for brunch. This was my specialty. What did I make? I prepped 2lbs of bacon, a pack of breakfast sausages, scrambled eggs and french toast, but that was not all. The French Toast and Eggs were both made with, wait for it, Egg Nog. I didn’t know what to except when adding this liquid to my cooking, but it turned out to be a marvellous idea. It had a splendid taste and a big hit with family and our two guests.
I’m very blessed to get all that I did for Christmas. My parents went above and beyond for me, and so did my brother. I got a lot of great things. Most notably a 1TB External Hard Drive
It seems like it has gone by so quickly and has it. I am a little disappointed I will be heading back to Fort St John on Wednesday. If I were to do it over again I would come back closer to Christmas and leave a little later.
How was your Christmas Day? What did you get? What was most memorable?
This will be quick as I do not have the patients to write out an elaborate post tonight. So this will be more of a photo blog.
All packed and ready to go the night before.
At 5am Yellowknife look like it was going to be a nice day.
This was a neat photo I randomly caught crossing the bridge at Rae.
We saw lots of buffalo on the road, lots of which were just standing on the road.
There was still lots of bridge construction going on.
The ferry ride was uneventful. I think I have lived in the north to long.
The wee town of Grimshaw.
I normally try and take photos of the beautiful Dunvagan Valley but because the construction on the bridge, which I am fairly certain has been happening for 3 years now, I wanted to focus on driving.
This was our little set up in the Grande Prairie campground. I thought it was very redneck to have a lazy boy and computer chair set up outside.
I was always uncertain as to how much the bunk could hold. I think there was about 200lbs on it and it didn’t collapse on my brother so it must be decent.
We spent most of today in Grande Prairie shopping and skateboarding. We also drove over to Wembley to check out a new skatepark we were told about. I must say for a small farming town, it was a pretty nice.
Note* We got to Dawson as well today and I was able to get my apartment. I will put up another post with picture tomorrow.
I changed some stuff as you may have noticed. I simplified the site so that I could come back to reality. Its just going to be like my notebook where I write personal things, to do lists, stuff I’m working on, you know that sort of thing.
Just an update from Hawaii: Spent all day in Honolulu shopping with my brother. I got a couple new hats and will try and get some picture of them to show. I have now bought 4 new hats since leaving Yellowknife. Not much more to tell you about Hawaii now but will let you know how things are going off and on. I put some photo of the first couple days up on Facebook and Flick (I’m not going to link them, you can find them on your own).
Man does NWT Blogs ever look good. It is becoming more and more popular and I honestly can’t wait to get back to Yellowknife try spread the word even more. One of the newest features Amy has put on the site is the Twitter feed for us norther bloggers. It seems like @EclecticBlogs and myself @the_bushman are clogging it up with our constant updates but you will also see @amsiebee and some others. Among other things one of the newest bloggers on the site is a friend of mine and you can find his blog HERE. I hope he keeps it up. I think blogs are a good way to keep in touch with people, let out anger and plenty other reasons.
I have also been lacking in the area of feeds. I have 132 unread posts in my feed reader. Looks like I have some bed time reading to do. Looking forward to it.
Well I better get on this as I have already let you down with my daily posts of my “eventful” trip.
If you follow me on twitter @the_bushman is will already have a good idea as to what I have been up to in the last couple days but let me fill the rest of you in.
My second day in Edmonton was much like the first. I was up early because I can no longer sleep for more than 6 hours at a time, so I came online until 11am. At that time my friends came and picked me up from my hotel and we grabbed bunch on our way back to the West Edmonton Mall. At the mall I got a new laptop/camera backpack that I quite like, as well I got to go in the Apple store and take in all the nice things that can be found there. I was told I looked completely out of place in the store as I was the only person with a plaid jacket and country look. There is another one of those moments where I feel out of place in this world.
After visiting a couple other stores around town we went to a $3.50 movie theatre and watched Marley and Me. A movie about the life of a untamed dog and his owners. Leaving the movie at about 6pm we decided it was definitely time for supper. Swiss Chalet was decided upon and off we went to find one. Once finding a rather busy one, I was able to enjoy a nice rack of robs with a garlic loaf. Eating that meal was an evening event of its own so when we were finished at the restaurant we all retired to our hotels for a good night sleep before our trek back to BC the next morning.
The Next Morning: Day 3,
Monday was ultimately uneventful except out flat tire while we were trying to leave Edmonton. The flat delayed us almost 2 hour but no matter we were getting out of there one way or another. After the 6.5 hour drive through places like Whitecourt, Valleyview, Grande Prairie, Beaver Lodge, and Dawson Creek we finally arrived at the House just off the highway here in BC. As it wasn’t that late a movie was put on but I was again way to tired and crashed.
Day 4,
After a breakfast of eggs, bacon and potatoes we headed in to Dawson Creek to go grocery shopping as it was direly needed. While heading in to town we quickly stopped by a wee bit of property with a cabin on it 10 minutes out of town that was for sale. A smile comes across my face as my imagination runs wild of the possibilities. Oh one can dream.
That concludes the last 3 days.
I am looking forward to tonights meal of Butcher Block steaks and potatoes.
