Good morning, GASBAR! Wow, that's a lot of snow!
Today’s Picture! "Mom & Breakfast"
Today’s Picture! "Dragonfly"
Yesterday, I attended my church’s Parish Life meeting at 10:30 am. The main topics consisted of a Graduation Banquet and an upcoming celebration for Father Frank’s leaving. After the meeting, I came home and read some more of “Black Like Me”. Then Mom and I went out for lunch at Chili’s. We both had the Chicken Crispers. My two sides were fries and corn-on-the-cob. We used a buy one get one free coupon, so the lunch was very cheap! :D After lunch, we both came home and enjoyed a nice Sunday nap.
I worked a 4 pm - 10 pm shift in grocery. I began by pulling expired Temporary Price Reduction signs. By 5 pm, I began facing in Aisle 12 (Billy started in Aisle 1). I faced Aisles 12-10; 8-7. While facing, I also checked for out dates. After Aisle 7, I took my break. I continued on facing with Aisles 6-5 when I got back. Many out dates were found in Aisle 5. In total for the day, all of the stockers found a combined total of 9 carts full of outdated product. :/ Around 9:30 pm, I presented to Alivia her souvenir gift (an American bead bracelet). She loved it! :) I started facing Aisle 4 after that, and by 10 pm it was time to go. Before leaving I gave Katie her American bead bracelet and she also loved it!
Since Katie needed a ride home at 12:30 am, I stayed up when I got home. I watched an episode of “2 Broke Girls” on my DVR and then read some more of “Black Like Me”. Once Katie was home...safe and sound...I went to sleep.
Have a nice day!

Good Evening, GASBAR ♩ Sorry that you and your Friends are stranded in Newfoundland due to the snowy conditions over there. If all comes to worse, then you and your Friends will definitely have to take rides going back with your support vehicles, for your own safety. Best wishes to you in this new week, and on your ongoing journeys. Thanks for sharing the snow picture. Take care, and be safe!
Have a Relaxing Night!

Good morning GASBAR....surprised by some light early morning showers. Not called for in the forecast. Also had some morning internet issues. Not sure if the rain was an issue. Very light rain & no wind so I don`t believe there is a connection. Skies are clearing. High of 20°C. Have a great day.

Good morning, GASBAR! Hope the temps warm up and the sun comes out!
Joisygal - I also recommend CC Cleaner. A friend showed it to me and I regularly run the program.

I made it to work by 9:30 am. The manager was really happy to see me and told another person “now that’s my man” haha. By 11 am, my eyes started to get blurry. Then a migraine developed and I asked the Front-End Manager if I could take a break. At 11:30 am I punched out and never punched back in. I felt like I was going to throw up and was very shaky. At noon the manager took me home since they didn’t want me to drive home. I thought about it later, and I think it’s a combination of not being properly hydrated over the past week and how I haven’t had a complete 8 hours of sleep in over a week. Oh well, at least I got two hours in of work.
After a 2 hour nap, I felt well enough to eat. I had a few bowls of chicken noodle soup and some crackers. Then I took another hour snooze. Once my snooze was finished Mom took me back to Al’s in Dad’s car so I could pick up my car. For the rest of the afternoon, I relaxed, watched part of the White Sox game, and started reading “Black Like Me”. At 6:20 pm, I went to take Mom to see “The Great Gatsby”. I didn’t mind seeing it a 2nd time and Mom enjoyed it very much! After dropping Mom off, I stopped at Al’s to chat with Rev. Kevin and catch up with him. Hopefully soon me, him, and his wife can get together for lunch soon. That’s when I will show Rev. all the pictures and tell the complete story of my vacation. :)
I ended my night by first going for a nighttime ride with my buddy Jeff. Then, I watched an episode of “Once Upon A Time” on my DVR. My sleep was still on and off, but I feel fine this morning. I’m making sure to drink plenty of water!! :) As usual, Mom and I went to church at 7:30 am.
Happy Sunday!

Good evening everyone rode about 75km today and it was very cold and wet at times. Stopped for the day.
Joisygal do you ever use CC Cleaner it is a free program that cleans up the computer. Here is one place to get it from www.download.com

After posting on GB yesterday, I gave Katie a ride to work at Al’s. Then I walked around and chatted with a few people. I also checked next week’s schedule. When I got back home I had lunch (leftovers from Aunt Gie’s dinner) and watched an episode of “Shark Tank” on my DVR. After lunch, Mom and I ran a few errands. At 3:30 pm, I greeted my Dad as he walked home from work. Told Mom & Dad about my trip and gave them their souvenirs. Then at 4 pm I went to visit Grandma. Told her all about my trip. I promised her next time that I would bring her food and bring her the 100+ pictures (I will develop them on Tuesday).
Once I got back home I caught up with a few things and rested up. I also watched some the last 2 hours of my White Sox game, they won 3-0. At 7:30 am I gave Katie a ride to work at corporate. She is now being trained to be a trainer. :). At 8:30 am, the assistant manager called and asked if I could cashier 9:30 am - 6 pm today...I said yes. So I’ll call into the radio show for my gas prediction and then go to work. So I only have time for quick replies today, sorry. :/
Have a nice day!

Sometimes all you need to do is disconnect the power from modem for 10 seconds and turn off computer and then plug in modem while restarting computer

Short update for rounds
This is the short update version of my vacation. I'm posting this at all the spots that are on my GB rounds list. If you want the long update, please come to My home
Tea
Around 9 pm, on Monday, David and I bordered the Amtrak train, which was running about 20 minutes late. Once bordered, we enjoyed a nice dinner consisting of a herb chicken meal. While waiting for the food, I called mom. Because the train ride was bumpy, we only got a few hours of sleep. After breakfast, I went to the scenic car and enjoyed the scenery. I also chatted with mom and dad on the phone.
The train made it in only a few minutes late. About an hour and a half later, we made it to our hotel, Quality Inn. We checked in and checked out some brochures. After checking out the brochures, we made plans of what we wanted to do during our full day in Washington. For dinner, we had a filling Chinese dinner delivered. After catching up with my parents on the phone, we both decided to call it a night early and rest up for the next day.
On Wednesday after breakfast, a van took us to another hotel. At this hotel, the tour bus picked us up. The bus driver was also our tour guide and explained about all the buildings we drove by and told us interesting history facts! We also had 5 step off locations. These were: 1. The south front of the White House 2. The Jefferson Memorial 3. The Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial / The Martin Luther King Memorial 4. The Lincoln Memorial and the US Capitol Reflecting Pool (my favorite step off) 5. Iwo Jima Memorial. After the tour bus dropped us off, I took a 2 hour nap and ate leftover Chinese food.
For dinner on Wednesday we had pizza delivered to our room. Most of Thursday morning consisted of packing and getting ready to go back home. By 11:45 am we had a taxi take us back to the station. Once at the station I went to a souvenir shop to buy some gifts. Then David and I had some burgers at Thunder Grill. By 4:05 pm, we were on the train heading home. Thankfully we made it home okay. We took the South Shore train home and once there, a friend of David’s took us back to his house. Then David gave me a ride home. Overall, I am happy with the length of the trip. One full day to tour the area and the other two days were used to rest up. :-)
Have a nice day!

Good Evening, GASBAR ♪ Enjoy your cross-country biking break during the rainstorm. A nice part of traveling is resting too. Otherwise doing too much activity on vacation without enough rest will exhaust you. Have a safe and enjoyable, rest of biking vacation!

Good afternoon GASBAR.....stopping by while having lunch(chicken sandwich). Cycled to work this AM but was not sure I would. Pouring about 15 minutes before I usually depart home. Rain stopped about 5 minutes before I left so I pedalled. Risk of rain is only 10-20% this evening so my ride home should be dry. High of 19°C with clouds. Hope your day is a good one!

Good afternoon GASBAR....still in shock over the Leafs blowing a 3 goal lead with 10 minutes left to play in the game. I think the Leafs felt to confident with the lead & Boston played the best 10 minutes of the series. A mix of sun & cloud. High 13°C. Have a great day.

Good morning GASBAR.....a cold 0°C to start the day with flurries. Enough to clear the car before driving! High of 10°C/50°F under a mix of sun & cloud. Planned on going to Toronto to watch game 7 of the Boston vs Toronto series outside the Air Canada Centre but a few backed out...will watch the game on TV instead. Have a great day.

Good morning, GASBAR! My turn for a vacation lol.
Around 12:10 pm on Sunday, Mom and I left to go to Fortune House Buffet. When we were being seated, I looked at a guy and thought to myself “He looks like my Micro Econ Professor”. Since I wasn’t sure if it was him or not, I sat down with Mom. A few minutes later my professor was getting out of the booth and saw me. Then he walked over and said hello! Wow, what a surprise it was to see him!! I got to meet his wife and 3 year old boy. The Professor told my Mom that I’m a very good student and that I got an “A+” in his class. After that, the rest of the lunch for Mom and I went really well!
When we got home, Mom opened up her card and present from me. She loved them both! While getting ready for work and chatting with some friends from FB, I watched an episode of “Shark Tank” on my DVR. Around 2:45 pm, we went to go see Grandma. I saw her eyes open wide when she saw Mom and then a big smile was formed. First, I gave Grandma my card. Then Mom gave her card and present. Grandma loved everything! Then we took some pictures together. Grandma had a huge smile in all of our pictures lol. Then we talked about various things for about 30 minutes. We all had a wonderful visit together. :)
Before heading into work, I chatted with Mom’s Brother’s Wife on FB. We caught up with each other and she was thrilled to hear that our family is now doing fine since Mom is back on her medication. They hope to come to the Midwest soon so they can visit us. I worked a 4 pm - 10 pm shift in grocery. For the first 30 minutes, I worked on filling paper aisle back stock. Then I faced Aisles 12-10; 8-7. Then I took my break. When I got back from break I pulled temporary reduction sale tags. I ended my shift by facing Aisles 6-5. Billy was taking care of Dairy and Aisles 1-3 throughout the time I was there. I checked the readings report and once again we were very busy, we were up $11,000 from the projected closing number...and that was at 9:30 pm!!!!
After work I went straight to David’s house to house sit for him. I typed up most of this update and let Barney out. Then I went to sleep. Woke up every hour, but by 4 am, I finally stayed asleep and woke up again at 9 am. Well....don’t know what I’m exactly doing for the rest of the morning or early afternoon, but this evening I will be off to Washington DC!!!! Yippe!!! :)
Have a wonderful week!!!
Joisygal - You're welcome!

Good morning, everyone! Thanks for stopping by GASBAR!
Today’s Picture! "Doggies"
Today’s Picture! "Flower Tent Premiere"
These will be the last pictures that I will share until Friday since I will be away from home starting tomorrow. I will resume with more pictures from the Garden/Flower tent at Al’s. Then I will share several pictures from Mother’s Day. By the end of May, I will start sharing my pictures from Washington DC!
On Friday i worked 11 am - 8 pm (9 hours). I was scheduled in janitorial maintenance, but the manager wanted me to work in grocery instead since there was a very large load. So from 11 am - 6 pm, I stocked the shelves. Every now and then I also had to fill sale items that were running low. Jackie wanted me to bag up front for my last hour of my scheduled shift. She also wanted me to stay over an hour and continue to bag and help out the front end. I gladly took the extra hour!
After work I stopped by David’s house and we watched the movie “Cocoon”. I thought it was a pretty good movie. :) Saturday I worked 7:30 am - 4:30 pm (9 hours), in the flower tent. When I got there, Gary helped me take down all of the tent walls. Then for the next hour or so, I got the tent ready for the day. When the 9 am worker came, I stepped aside to call into the radio show to give my gas prediction.
By 1:30 pm, it was slow in the tent because of the rain and colder temperatures. So Jan asked if I could bag from 1:30 - 4 pm (I was suppose to get off at 3:30). I gladly took the extra half hour! So during that time I bagged, got carts, ran register, did go backs, and other closing duties. Around 3 pm, the Front-End Manager came up to me and asked if I could stay until 4:30 pm. I gladly took the extra half hour! After work I took care of a few things around the house. I also had dinner with Mom & Dad...Pizza Hut pizza!
At 7 pm, Chris, Nick, and I met each other at the movie theater. We all wanted to see “The Great Gatsby” at 8 pm. So for half an hour we went for a ride in my car. Unfortunately, at 7:30 pm Chris had to leave because he had to help out another friend in need. But Nick and I still saw the movie at 8 pm. We both thought it was an excellent movie! Later on I told Mom about it and I think she might be interested in seeing the movie. :)
On Sunday morning, I went to church with Mom at 7:30 am. Then we stopped by Al’s so I could give Jan her Mother’s Day card. :) Mom & I also stopped at the Flower tent so Mom could pick something of her choosing. When we got home, I made us both a pancake. It’s a tradition for me to make Mom a pancake on Mother’s Day. Busy day ahead still. Around Noon I will take Mom to Fortune House Buffet for her Mother’s Day treat. At 3 pm, we will go see Grandma. I work a 4 pm - 10 pm shift in grocery. After that I will be spending the night at David’s house to house sit while David and his roommates are away for the night.
I plan on being on GB tomorrow to let you know how the rest of my Sunday went. Notice how I said “plan”. ;) After that for the rest of the week I will just be on GB to say hi to everyone. I hope to resume my updates/rounds on Friday. I will only give a summarized update of my trip. If I were to type out my Washington DC vacation update like I do with my usual updates, then it would be way toooo long! lol. But don’t worry, I will take many pictures. :)
Lastly, a Happy Mother's Day to all of the GB Mom's out there!!!
Happy Sunday!

Night!

Good morning GASBAR....happy to report my pedal home last evening was a dry one! Surprised to see the Leafs force game 6 in Toronto on Sunday evening. Played a very poor 3rd period but somehow hung on to win. Jays not so good...lost 5-0. Mix of sun & cloud. High 13°C. Enjoy the bed!Have a great day.

Good evening Joisygal MusicTeacher jjdm attitash this is GASBAR we are in P.E.I for a couple of more days visiting an old friend that we haven't seen for more than 20 years so we changed our plans and are staying for a few days. I am doing great except I feel a little tired but sleeping in a bed tonight for the first time since last Friday. Not used to sleeping on the ground anymore but will survive. It will be short rides from here on in as one of our friends as never been this way before so we will take in a lot of the sights on the way. Well good night my friends. Thank you John.

Good morning, GASBAR! Thanks John! Great to hear that they are having a blast. :)
Today’s Picture! "Living Room"
Today’s Picture! "Kitchen"
Thursday was another take it easy day. During the morning I watched an episode of “Person of Interest”. Then I did some things on the computer. After that Mom and I ran a few errands. One of those errands was developing some pictures from my phone. I know I will have tons of pics from Washington DC, so I wanted to develop the ones from before the trip now. Once that was done, I did most of my packing for the trip. Then I got 3 cards (one for Jan, Grandma, and Mom) and a gift (for Mom) ready for Mother’s Day. For lunch Dad made Sloppy Joes.
By 2 pm, I was ready for an hour nap. After the nap I was energized, so I went to go see Grandma. I showed her the pictures and took her for a ride around the nursing home. :) When I got back, Mom, Dad, and I had a family dinner! We had chicken and mac & cheese. Most of the dinner conversation was about Marija and Ana. Dad was very interested in the two girls and was asking lots of questions about them. After dinner I showed my parents the pictures. Before heading to work, I helped Dad with some tasks outside.
I worked a 5:30 pm - 10 pm shift in grocery. When I got there Isaac said that Gary was wondering if I could work the Sunday during my vacation (May 19th). That would mean that Saturday would be my last day of vacation. Thought about it and said yes (It’s hard for me to turn down hours lol). Since Isaac and Rev. Kevin already got to Aisle 11, I joined Rev. Kevin there. Isaac went to fill the ice cream and then left at 6.
About an hour later I was helping a customer and walking down the aisles. Noticed in one of the aisles that Jasmine was there and was laughing at something her friend Patrick (someone that gave her a ride to the store) said. Couldn’t stop to say hello since I was helping a customer, but was hoping that she would follow me since she saw me. After helping the customer I went to look for Jasmine but couldn’t find her. I don’t know how she got into contact with Patrick and why she still hasn’t contacted me or even Katie. Found out from Rev. Kevin that Jasmine walked past him without even saying hi. Another cashier told me that she rang up Jasmine’s order and asked how’s she been. The answer, “I could be better”.
By 9:30 pm, Rev. Kevin and I had the whole store faced up. I spent the last half hour of my shift filling milk. When I got home I took care of a few things and then ended my night by watching the season finale of “Person of Interest”.
Have a nice day!

Good morning GASBAR...cloudy day with rain moving in. High 13°C. Expect a wet pedal home but have my rain gear! Looking forward to the Boston/Toronto series over the weekend......baseball & hockey. Hope the Leafs can pull off a win but doubt it. Thanks for update John. Have a great day.
