Old orders at the airshow

I attended a model airshow in St. Jacobs a couple of weeks ago. It's already in my calendar again for next year. A great way to spend the afternoon. There was a group of old order Mennonites checking out the action too. Tonya tells me they don't like having their picture taken. It's ok if you can't see their face...mostly because they don't know you're taking the shot...

Praying Mantis

We found this praying mantis on a storefront window just north of St. Clair on Yonge.

Me2:

U2 in concert at the Skydome (It's not called the Rogers Centre...I don't care what anyone says!) in Toronto.

This was my 3rd U2 show and they're older now but they still put on an amazing spectacle. Though by my estimate, they didn't run around as much as they did on the Elevation and Vertigo tours. Thanks to Tonya for getting me the ticket...

The giant cylindrical screen was actually made up of many smaller screens that were honeycombed together and could be expanded to 3 times its length sort of like a giant Chinese finger trap...

The coolest part was when they turned on the giant disco ball...

It was quite a sight seeing the skydome full with the roof open.

Zombie board meeting

I happened upon this "board meeting" in the park by our place...they're all wearing shirts and ties...

There was also a zombie march going on the same day...

Then the zombies and the skateboarders met up at city hall...and some of the zombies started riding skateboards...

One more on the beach

The last of the beach pictures with my cousin...

Handstand

Another picture of my cousin on the beach.

Beach Pose

My cousin joined my parents, Tonya and I on an outing to windy lake last weekend. She was demonstrating her gymnastics skill on the beach.

Chew Chew Diner

We found this diner on the way to Cabbage Town. We didn't have a chance to eat there but plan to return very soon.
PS. We refurbished the blog layout in anticipation of our 10000th hit.

A timelapse of my first fish cleaning experience with some small mouth bass. Give this a moment to load before playing.

$1 Hair Cut

I just had my hair cut for $1. The barbers are all grizzled Italian guys. They even used a straight razor at the end. The feeling of warm shaving cream on your face is awesome.

From Colin:

A guy stuck his head into a barbershop and asked, 'How long before I can get a haircut?

The barber looked around the shop full of customers and said, 'About 2 hours. The guy left.

A few days later, the same guy stuck his head in the door and asked , How long before I can get a haircut?' The barber looked around at the shop and said, 'About 3 hours.'

The guy left.

A week later, the same guy stuck his head in the shop and asked, 'How long before I can get a haircut?

The barber looked around the shop and said, 'About an hour and a half ...'

Again The guy left.

The barber turned to his friend and said, 'Hey, Bob, do me a favour. Follow that guy and see where he goes.

He keeps asking how long he has to wait for a haircut, but then he doesn't ever come back.'

A little while later, Bob returned to the shop, laughing hysterically.

The barber asked, 'So, where does that guy go when he leaves?'

Bob looked up, wiped the tears from his eyes and said, 'Your house!
