I went into Seattle Sunday night with my brother and friends. It was pretty cool. We didn't do a whole lot, but we had fun.

I went up the Space Needle - it was pretty cool. Not as impressive as the CN tower in Toronto.

Then we went to a little local seafood shop and had a good time. Things got pretty crazy. I only had clam chowder and a burger - I'm not a big seafood fan.

I just took this picture. My hair's a mess and stuff, but I'm going to use it in my profile. I'm only creating this post to upload the picture - cause they don't seem to have any other way to do it. I'll do my logo as well so that it's hosted on blogger and not uploadyourimages which is kinda unreliable because they delete images that haven't been accessed much.

I got a bike on Thursday. It's a hybrid (part roadbike, part mountainbike). It can take a variety of tire widths for different conditions, it has a straight handlebar, and lighter roadbike components. It also has fenders - I might want to ride when it's wet out and keep the mud off my back.

Here's a pic

I'm in Tacoma, Wa now. Just because I don't have anything better to do. I'm staying with my brother who's been living here for a few years now - You can donate some money to his bike tour. Go to his blog - it's the thblog in my links section. He's got all the links on there to donate money.

He's been getting into fitness a lot lately and wants to run in all kinds of marathons and stuff.

So we're just hanging out with his friends and stuff - going to Seattle tomorrow and also fishing.

We went and saw "The Island" last night. It had a few technical hitches, but overall I liked it and would recommend it to someone looking for a pretty good sci-fi action.

I'm on vacation now because there isn't much work right now. I guess all the water parks want all their slides to be operational and not under construction/maintenance durring the peak summer months. It's nice for me though, 'cause I'm planning some trips to Tacoma, Pennsylvania, and Ontario..... Hmm, as if I don't travel enough when I'm working, I gotta travel when I'm on vacation as well. Ah, such is my nature.

I finished my most recent water slide on Wednesday and got to ride it a few times (to test it out and make sure all the seams are smooth and everything). It's the first time I've ridden a water slide since February or something, though I've built quite a few since then - mostly smaller ones.
