Sometimes the face is gonna fall

blue
Desert blue! Open beautiful sky that streches from horizon to horizon. A haunting blue, a faded blue. A blue so pale so deep you can lose yourself into it's deep abyse. I love the blue, i look into the blue. There is no notice, there is no option, the talk is directed away, i look into the blue. The light plays across the blue, she is so intent, i try and concentrate. The blue is deceiveing holding intent and meaning. I try and comprehend. i cant. So beautiful. I want to cry. I hope it is appreciated. I hope it is love. Does the blue appreciate my appreciataion. It is hard it as ice, it is beautiful. So beautiful, the blue, it is my desert sky!

and i won't back down
Through troubling times i turn to the lyrics of Tom Petty.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHJMp5bz9
Well I wont back down, no I wont back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I wont back down
Gonna stand my ground, wont be turned around
And Ill keep this world from draggin me down
Gonna stand my ground and I wont back down
Hey baby, there aint no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground
And I wont back down.
Well I know whats right, I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin me around
But Ill stand my ground and I wont back down
Hey baby there aint no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground
And I wont back down
No, I wont back down

accident
This is an accident that ocurred on the vanier parkway onramp to the 417. The red car was the first car on the on ramp followed by four motorcyclists then my truck. The red car stopped suddenly ( no reason i could see) . Two of the motorbikes were able to take evasive action and passed her on the right, the two others ones were not so lucky. The first motorbike to hit is the one that is lying beneath the back end of the car. he was then also hit by the other biker (the bike is standing next to the car on the left). Both men on the bikes hit the car, but were able to get up. The bike underneath the car is a total rite-off. The other one probably has structural damage. I think it was a bit of fault at both parties. The most fault i would lay at the hands of the driver of the red car for stopping suddenly and for no apparent reason. A smaller amount goes to the bikers for not keeping a safe travelling distance.

Couldn't think of a subject
My friend Jeff started playing World of Warcraft in New Zealand in 2005 and he couldn't stop talking about it. At the time i couldn't justify paying a monthly fee to play a game i also had to go out and buy... until he showed it to me. I have been playing it on and off for the past 2 years. Not so much lately due to work.
When i started playing the game i hooked up with a now defunct guild called "Sinisterpast". They were a pretty good group of people, the Guild Master being a trucker based out of Spokane Washington State. It was early in playing the game that i was on one night and started talking to a person who was hunting in the same zone that i was in. Her online name was C**** . I guess i had asked her if she needed help and i was told about her needing to do laundry and she not needing help. I kept questing and 10 minutes after first encountering her she sent me a message asking if i was still up to questing. We quested on and off so and chatted a bit. I got to meet D******* (her significant other who also played WOW). They had both migrated from EQ after Sony screwed that franchise up.
C**** is a very private person so i was surprised that recently D and me have exchanged email addresses. I never thought that you could develop a friendship online but i guess great bonds can form over the destruction of Murloks (Rrrrrawwrrrr) and Kobolts (You no take candle!).
On a tangent, i try to pick interesting names for my WOW characters. One is my namesake, Doofie he is a warlock and i bit of a softy. My main is Kernelangus, I Tauren Druid. I love druids for their Moonkin form and i am a bit of a Tankin, or i was until i leveled and had to rid myself of all that Purple armor i had (Bah!). The other alts i have are Minutemage (Mage-troll), Rockandtroll (hunter-troll), goldencalf (tauren-shamen), Snotsthedog (warrior-undead).

When it rains it pours
I have been reading a lot of books lately. I get home from work and end up reading for most of the night then work a little before heading to bed. I am now reading a book now called "Finding Fish" by Antoine Fisher. It is a tragic story but i found myself laughing at a few parts of the book. He is a foster child going up with a foster family and is foster parents were absolutely nuts.
Not sure what i'm going to read next...

The best i could do
I'm going to make a broad generalization (and not a generalization about broads-heard that somewhere), but most of you out there tend to keep stuff from the past stored somewhere, maybe it is a trunk in a dusty corner of a basement, maybe it is only a scrapbook, or maybe you need a ministorage locker. I on the other hand, don't tend to keep a lot of stuff. Most of my crap has been lost in moves over the years and the rest of the crap i couldn't be bothered with keeping. However, i do *rely* on a ministorage of sorts. You see i do collect things electronically, and i keep all my files, pictures, and miscellaneous crap (music, homevideos etc...) in a portable laptop hard drive which i have have for the past 5 years. Even before this portable drive, i had stacks of CD's i would save my files on too (which eventually went on to my drive too) So recently i went exploring into the vast expanses of 20 Gigs of history (which reminds me of another story which i must tell right now while i remember it).
Speaking of "gigs": I went to a conference in 2005 with my sister. It was a electro-optical conference mostly physics and weird electrical presentations, and i was the lone chemist there. I snuck my sister in with me, so she could see what it was all about, or maybe she was bored that day. not sure. So we were sitting in an almost empty room listening to a guy talk about the maximum frequency (hertz) that he was trying to obtain using new materials for opto-electrical devices. The higher the frequency the more bandwidth one could have and thus the more data one could move through the device. Meanwhile my sister was trying to come up with a new nickname for her cat, which had the unfortunate name of "gigs". So with the guy droning on about "frequency", and my sister whispering variations on the name "gigs" there came a moment of clarity where i think my sister realized what the lecturer was saying. She whispered to me
"GIG-A-HERTZ". We both burst out laughing.
So yes back to my story about the portable harddrive. I began exploring what i had in the recesses of those catacomes of bits and bytes and found quite a bit of stuff. As you can see from my two recent postings i found pictures from my Algonquin trip and biking trip on the K&P rail trail. I also found stuff from my grad work. to be more precise i found the piece of information that i am most proud of that came out of my days at carleton. It is an NMR spectrum of a compound i had such a love/hate relationship with. It was a brilliant blue in solution a blue i have yet to see yet in anything else. Depending on what it was dissolved in the colour could shift from a red/purple to the brilliant blue. In it's solid form it was metallic green gold in colour. The problem was that to make it i had to follow a multistage reaction with each step leading to low yeilds and where the final step sometimes did not work at all.
But it was all worth it when i got this
Or was it worth it... thinking of all those wasted year...maybe i need to head back into the hard drive and wave a white flag from the usb port...

K&P trail calabogie to snowroad
I biked this railtrail with a good friend of mine in 2003.
The line originally ran from Kingston to Renfrew and never made it to it's namesake pembroke. I was lucky enough to grab the history book on this railway at a book sale at Carleton University. A memorable story from the book, was about a farmer who was tired of the train hitting his cows so he greased the rails before an increase in grade and the train became stuck and had to wait to get the track cleaned.
The rails were lifted in sections, the last to go in 1986. I'm not sure if the whole right of way is a trail, but we biked the section from calabogie to snowroad station. The right of way is pretty decent and is used by vehicles as some people have built cottages along the right of way.

Algonquin park 1999
This was my first foray into algonquin park. Since then i have been several times to algonquin park to canoe and camp. This was a canoe trip that started in Achray in the east entrance to Algonquin park. We canoed through the Barron Canyon. The water level was lower since it was the fall and the route was pretty tough due to the length of the portages. It was a fun time though, and we got great use from my camera/mp3 player with a built in speaker. We drank at night and listened to blue rodeo on it.

Montague township
I visited an unmaintained road on Friday evening and saw an abandoned farm and school house. So today i decided to visit it with my camera. I also brought my motorcycle along and i took it out for a spin.
I love the area to the west of Ottawa, it is very rural with alot of abandoned buildings and unmaintained roads. When ever i see a sign that says "unmaintained road" i usually want to take it, but i always make sure that my truck will be able to drive it by scouting it out a little first. This unmaintained road lead me to an abandoned farm and schoolhouse. The road ended abruptly with a culvert missing.

I hit a bird while driving tonight to morrisburg. I was driving on HWY 31 when a flock of starlings took off in the road in front of me. I only had time to throw out a protective hand to my face (it must be instinct since a little bird would not go through a windshield). I felt really bad about hitting the bird, i should have slowed down.
In Morrisburg i visited an interesting character that my parents know. We chatted for quite a while and i purchased what i came down to get from him. He is originaly from scotland, moved to the US, joined the army and flew helicopters in Vietnam. He apparently has done quite a bit in his life time. I liked him a lot and gave him a couple of cans of engine cleaner. Long story but i guess you deserve it. I won a case of engine cleaner as a door prize. The case held 25 cans of this stuff, so i have been giving it away. I have yet to try it, but people are (i think) glad to get it.
-Soph are you glad to get it?-
So this character showed me around his place and all his bikes in his collection. He is cleaning out most of them, but here is a partial list. Honda dream, 3X honda passport, 1 jawa moped, 1 motobecane cady, 1 pc50, 1 weird honda moped with an engine on the back wheel, 1 Honda cl70 scrammbler (which i snagged), 1 Honda c200 and lots of other parts bikes.
I was hit up by a couple of scam artists last night at rideau and cumberland. I was stopped at the light, when a man approached me and asked for help. He said he and his wife were staying at the hotel near here and had just learned that their son was hit by a bus out west and was airlifted to a hospital. Their airport shuttle had broken down, and blueline was going to take them at a fee of 56 dollars. They didn't have the money they said and would i help them. They even pointed out a ATM where i could withdraw funds for them. I told them i would think about it and left.
I was thinking i could give them a ride but decided against it, first i wasn't sure about their story. They were to pushy in pointing out the ATM machine to me. Secondly if i was going to drive them if they turned out to be weirdos i could have been in a lot of trouble if they decided to attack me.
So thinking that it *may* me a scan i looked it up on snopes.com. Turns out i had the right hunch and this has played out in many cities. A person in distress asks for money for some tragic story. The biggest problem with this scam is that the stories are designed to pull at peoples heart strings, while giving a sense of urgency (my son is in hte hospital and could be dieing). I let the police know about it, and i hope nobody was pulled into the scam.

South March and Queensboro
two "ghosted" settlements i visited recently.
South March hamlet is being encroached by the developement of Kanata.
more pictures are here http://pics.livejournal.com/doofie/galle
Queensboro is a village in hastings off the beaten path. The village is not at all a ghost town, but it is a neat little area to visit.

friday
situation:
Coffee shop, a woman buys food and a canned drink and then picks out a straw. It is broken. She is confused and says "it's broken" to the cashier. The cashier stares at her, grabs the broken straw and throws it out. Another cashier asks what the problem was. "Le paille est caisser", is what the first cashier was in an annoyed voice.
I decide to have a little fun
I grab a coffee stirrer, bent it in half and bring it to the cashier. I say it's broken... we both laugh.

I saved 3 animals this weekend, two baby groundhogs and a turtle.
The groundhog babies were saved on Richmond road. There had been four babies in all, but two were killed on the road before i got there. I saw that two babies and the mom were still on the road but the mom had run away when i pulled up. I stopped my truck and ran out to try to get the babies off the road but these were fearce creatures. They tried to bite me as i was trying to shoo them off the road. On a moment of inspiration i grabbed my paddling oar and managed to pick one of the babies up (gentle as a baker with a loaf of bread). One at a time I lifted the growling babies and droped them in the ditch. The mother was watching all the time from the safety of the fence line that was beside the road. As soon as i moved away the mother hoped out and the family (the remaining ones any ways) were reunited. When i left they were hopping on each other and sniffing each other and looked pretty happy.
The other creature i rescued was a turtle on roger stephens drive. It was trying to cross the road. I knew if it stayed out there it was going to get smucked. So i pulled over ran out and slowed the car that was coming behind me. I ran out, grabbed the turtle and placed him in the ditch.
I hate it when i see animals get killed on the road.

Found this little jem on craigslist...
Actually, it was linked through Mopedarmy.com
http://reno.craigslist.org/mcy/659898607.h
Here is the description and i'll underline the more humourous sections
"I have a super rar collecter moped frame for sale, it only needs a wheels, engine, and other parts to make it complete and runnable. Oh, and its bent kind of. It says saches on it. This is a picture of the frame plus all the parts you dont get with it."
and he wants 1250 for it.... right

I picked up a fix'er upper scooter. A 1971 Yamaha U7E
The history of it as told by the recent owner was as follows. The bike was owned by an older lady who was in need of repairs on her lawn tractor. So this man fixed the tractor and in return he was given the scooter. The scooter is missing a carburetor, as it was taken out for maintenance, sent away and was never returned. Thus the bike was left in a basement for 25 years until he took it.
I may have a line on a whole parts bike from a wreckers so hopefully i can get this one running.
This weekend i worked quite a bit, but being at work had two things going for it.
1) i got a lot of work done
2) work has A/C!
Actually there is a bit of a third thing as well. When i spend the weekends working i feel that a monday then is just another day of the week. I won't do this all the time, but really working on the weekends is not too bad. I used to do it in New Zealand quite a bit, as well as when i was in grad school too.
I also started a learning to row coarse this weekend, early in the morning on Saturday and Sunday. It is really peaceful out there on the water. I'm starting to get the hang of it but i still need to finish the coarse before i can get out there on my own. Luckily i can kayak so i won't be stuck if i can't reserve a boat a certain day.

updates
Quite a few things happened this past week, so here is an update.
I saw Indiana Jones 4, and really enjoyed it. Best scene in my opinion, Indiana frantically looking for a place to duck and hide while a count down is taking place for the detonation of an atomic bond. The results left me laughing pretty hard.
I attended the Great Glebe Garage sale on the weekend and bought an ex-military canvas tent. I have yet to deploy it but my brother has said he used them in air cadets and knows how to put them up. Also i couldn't not buy it for 20 dollars. I'm thinking it would make a great awning for my camper or better yet would fit over a picnic table when i'm camped with my camper. I also bought a cassette of midnight oil's blue sky mining album for 25 cents. I played it all weekend long as my truck has a dual CD player and tape player. I also listened to wire tap (i love this show) on CBC.
When i was younger my parents religiously listened to CBC and so i grew up on listening to it and recently i have started listening to it again. Saturday and sundays are my favourite days to listen to it. A few months ago they had replayed a segment involving Stuart Maclean and Peter Grosky. Stuart had brought in things one could purchare for a dime i believe, one of which was a cricket. Bother Peter and Stuart were laughing so hard about the criket they had to go to commercials a couple of times to calm down enough. pretty funny stuff.
This weekend i visited South March village in Kanata. The corners of South March proper still have the original buildings from when it was a pioneer village so i managed to snag a few pictures of them which i will post up. It will soon be swallowed up my the surburban development of Kanata.
My brother has fixed up the silver moped (in my moped post). It is now titled in his name and running strongly. I'm thinking about checking out a honda S90 this week sometime. There is also a honda S65 for sale but it missing a few parts.
My sisters raced this weekend in a 1/2 marathon and although i didn't see it apparently they all finished so kodos to them.
The last time i went camping there was a package of hotdogs left behind in my camper's fridge so i made a run to where it is parked to grab them before they went off (thank goodness for all those preservatives!).
I met one of my brothers friends, Justin who is a pretty cool guy. I kind of wished i had a friend like that when i was his age. He comes over regularly to help my brother out with his motorcycles. His statement on getting one of the mopeds running "well i never have actually scene one running before, so this is cool".
I have to say this; I love my truck! It has been a great little investment and is working out pretty well as a recreational vehicle. I was thinking about upgrading to something with a bit more power but now i'm not really thinking along those lines anymore.
I am also thinking about buying some land (eventually) out in the wilderness of hastings county or lanark highlands.
The land must have either a lake or river on it and mature trees. I would like to use it for camping and eventually build a little cottage on it.
I had a great evening last night and went to bed early and felt super refreshed this morning. I was a little dissappointed because i didn't get out camping but it was an enjoyable weekend none the less.
