Finally got the lawn mowed, finally got the mower fixed! Thanks Frankie, though you will never even know there are such things as blogs, I'll let a (very small portion of) the World know that you fixed my mower. Thanks.
Went to Ingonish this weekend and we drank ourselves sick, awsome time though, I was sick on Friday but on Saturday we found the natural rock waterslide and tried it out. It was awsome and so painless it was kinda scary at first, but not really scary at all.
Then we got ticketed by a park ranger - who obviously got beat up alot as a teenager, and definately didn't get invited to any parties at all - for exiting through a path which would take about an hour off our travel. Yeah, it was marked but not exactly clearly when you get down to trying to decipher the legalese involved. The herefortowith's and pursuant to section 13a kinda boggle the mind and ya just keep on walkin.
Anyway he was nice enough not to ticket all 6 of us and we can all split the ticket with my brother who took the one ticket he was handing out. The 40 bucks each is really worth the hassle of walking all the way back down the river the way we came. But next time it will be the long way home for all of us. Thats like 6 24's of worth the beer money, or a really nice night out to dinner up there. I hate paying for other peoples salary's.
The waves in Black Brook Beach were huge and cheap styrofoam boogieboards were all the rage. We all got trounced by mother nature for an hour and a half - went back to the Inn and took 6 showers - which apparently the plumbing wasn't ready for two days in a row - caused a leak in the system in one of the subfloors somewhere, shorted out the main floor electrical in the kitchen and maintenance end of the Inn. Don't know if we'll be allowed back to that particular Inn, but it was fun, a nice place to stay and affordably priced, so it will be the first place we call next time.

Still waiting on the final legalities of owning this place, can't wait for that to be done, sign the last piece of paperwork and get to paying off some bills and probably going back out west for a better paying job yet, though it is not set in stone or anything else as of yet. We need to put a basement under this thing and it's going to be anywhere from 15 - 20, 000 more dollars I don't have right now and looking at a 25 year mortgage is really looking at close to the rest of my life. So we need to pay for the basement with cash - or minimal bank involvement - to keep everything else in line as far as payments go, and refinancing or eventually buying out the original is a question as well. But that will all be down the line a bit yet, I just can't wait for the final signature on the dotted one.
