landing gear up

today was spent outside
Lori calling my name over
and over in a high pitched
call

"Steee-ven!!Stee-ven!!Stee-ven!!"

girls went to Canadian Tire
and bought some plants
Lori wanted me to go but i
convinced her that she needed
to be doing some womanly things
with the women like i had
done the man thing cooking
with

crap just had a problem with
the computer
but it righted itself

so outside i went
and we sat around and talked
The landlord was fishing
today His day off
and his wife after awhile
started to work on the garden
tidy up pull weeds shovel
dirt mix dirt in wheelbarrow
with bag of manure plant
flowers in flower pots
etc

so then i get asked to cut
the lawn which is fine
except for this large pitch
of a hill up fron the back
deck to the grass landing
by the strip of trees backing
onto the upstreet neighbourhood

i get the grass cut and even
weed whack some of the lawn
before the wacker runs out of
gas and then wont start
Landlord comes home and is
very happy with cut lawn

then we end up digging up a
flowerbed rock wall and filling
it in with dirt

we all sit around talking
and listening to the stereo
cranked up from their Chrysler
van in the driveway

flowers are put in
transplanted from soon to be
excavated hillside due to
construction earthworks on
North west nieghbour

They tell the story about how
Lori told everyone at the
plant section what all the
plants do and what to buy
for insects etc etc

they asked her how she knew
all of this and she said
that she wanted to put in a
garden and just went out
and got tons of books and
read everything she could
and then planted watered
tended and had large
gardens for her kids to
eat fresh vegetables and
flowers when she lived
north of here

Lori is the kind of person
who can sing along to
System of a Down flawlessly
in her little voice

or Slipknot

and i can barely retain
much of anything anymore
due to either birth defect
or drug use during the
brain developing years
of youth

so all that done
we came inside
and ordered Chinese
Food from our favourite
place

and i came in here to
mess with this computer
downloaded aircraft
simulator game that i
got for free from the
web The graphics are
like early nineties
late eighties but the
planes are many and
cool I cant fly
worth shit and keep
crashing But i flew
a Lancaster four engined
bomber and a B-52 and
a B-29

the jets i just keep
crashing but it had
sound effects and a night
time effect and different
scenarios

flying for the most part
is pretty monotonous
i read tons of sites about
people in old time bombers
sitting in that tin can
for eight hours in the cold
at thirty thousand feet

and then just googling sites

came here late to write all
of that crap down that i
did today

nothing got done today
complete chaos in household
we are having no one over
because we have little food
until our cheque comes in

havent even gone downtown
lately just up to the Macs
for supplies
which
if i am reminded correctly
i have ice cream left in
the freezer

heh heh

must go now and raid
said freezer

..O..
