Tonight(Sunday)

How about tonight? anyone want to come over, or something?

Worst...Star Wars quote...ever....

'...and he looks evil and the Princess is saying to him, "You are a good person" and he looks so evil and then she is with Obi King Wasabi and he said he is on the dark side and then the shorty guy--what is his name?--Yoga said, "He is on the dark side" and then Dark Wader he is with the cape and looks all angry and evil reminded me of me on Mondays.'

I have the day off...

Hey everyone,

Is there anything going on today or tonight?

Sammi

ARE YOU CRAZY???!!!!!

K, DEAN...!!!!! It may be fine going down to the park or what ever but we went down the river at this time 2 years ago...and it took us 3 1/2 hours just from the boat launch below the bridge, to only my grandpa's old place right behind North Enderby Timber. WE WERE RED AS LOBSTERS!!! NOT FUN IN THE END> YOu will make it down to Grin rod by maybe 5-7pm... if that. What we didn't realize is that the river winds back and forth like a snake going east to west quite a bit.... not south to north... There are a bunch of switch backs and right now the water is it's slowest. THE TIME TO GO IS AROUND JULY 1st and you go from Ashton creek bridge down through the smaller rapids, to the bridge in town. Anyways... I think I have monday off but have to look at my schedule... give me a call.... I will let you know what I am doing. PS>.... You're CRAZY!!!! oh, and we have your sweater at our house.

i would be into a day of fun

Wow,
Dean's post about the Enderby river sounds awesome. I would totally be into a day of fun on the enderby river; even if we just floated down the river on tubes. A friend of my has been floating the enderby river her last couple of days off of work. She has an awesome tan. She said, it's soooo much fun. I would be into the river next time, but like Dean said ' a little more notice would have to be given'. We should set up a day. I have Saturday off. Is anyone interested in a river ride on Saturday? Post your answer on the blog.

See around 7:00 ish.

I am leaving for Kelowna in a few minutes to do a couple of things and should be at the Garica's home around 7:00 ish. Do we need anything else besides poker chips and a $5 entry fee? I'm so excited to play poker for money. Be gentle with me since I lost my chips pretty easy last weekend. Keira, what happened between Nicole and her, very good looking, boyfriend? I'll have to chat with Nicole.

Bye for now,

Poker....

Cam, Monte, Kyle, Cory, and I are coming.

Shawn is maybe coming.

We will be carpooling up in one or two vehicles and plan to be there sometime around 7.

If anyone else is planning to go it starts around 7 and if you want to carpool from Vernon then give me a call.

Keira: I will bring our box of chips.

Chips

Thanks for the reminder Bryce: we definately need more chips! Can you bring that big set?

Soon to be getting Pickled making Pickles!!!

Cam said he was in for poker tonight..... you have to phone him this afternoon Bryce... I told him you would let him know when you are leaving and stuff so he can maybe go with you.

Poker

So far I have me, my two brothers, and our friend Cory for poker Saturday.

Unless they post on the blog I will prolly call Shawn and Cam about playing. Both were interested last time I talked to them.

Andrew also seemed interested.

Most of our other friends dont seem interested in poker.

So $5/$10 buy in? Do you guys have enough poker chips?

Weddin'

Ah yes, the wedding. It was totally cool. We did the same icebreaker as our wedding and ate lots of fancy cheese and a nice salmon dinner. We were in a giant tent with twinkle lights. The wedding was at 6:30, so it cooled down soon after and wasn't uncomfortably hot like so many other July weddings. K&D opened their gifts after dinner and they were really great.

Poker

So I have Sammi and Bryce... anyone else? Nicole might come too so eligible bachelors are especially welcome.

Pickles...

Sorry.... I am making pickles with my aunt sat. night......prob getting pickled too!! in the process. :) I know that Bryce is interested though if someone is able to give him a ride... I am assuming it is at Keira and Matt's house??? Catch ya next time, and let me know who wins!!!

:) :) PS> The poker night Bryce mentioned was 'last' friday night... you guy's missed it... But I assumed you were busy with Kirstens wedding and all.... how did that go, by the way??? Anyways.. sounds like people are up for poker again this week so that's good :) :)

I'm in for Saturday night poker!

I am in for Saturday night poker. I am trying the colour yellow to see the effect it has on the blog. See everyone around 7:00 pm.

- Sammi

We're still alive...

Ok, sorry this took me too long. Wow, another week has passed. Where does life go?

About poker night: Friday doesn't work (Bryce mentioned Friday) becuase Matt has his tournament. But we're up for Saturday and maybe people would be more comfortable with a $5 than a $10 buy-in?

Let me know if this is still what we want to do.

NIN Video

Take a look at this NIN video.

It has one of the coolest effects I have seen in a music video.

View it here.

Gmail Users....

Now that lots of you have converted over to Gmail I was going to post some of my Gmail usage tips on here. I have not got around to doing that but I came accross a site with a bunch of them so here is that.

I will post my own tips eventually. For instance I use filters to do some cool stuff so that incoming mail is labeled and organized automatically.

BEACH PARTY TONIGHT....

Hey there have to make it quick...

I am off work at 4pm and will be home at about 4:10.... We went to the beach yesterday, and decided that tonight we are going to go have dinner there and hang out as early as possible. So a couple of us will be leaving here at about 4:30 and then everyone else is coming when they are off work. HOPE YOU CAN COME> We are going to Kal Provincial park. Coming from vernon way, you drive down along kal beach, pass Alexanders pub and then turn right on your 2nd right.... you keep following the road around and eventually it will taake you to the right, along the lake... you will start to climb and then there is a kal prov. (small) parking lot.... Pass it and keep driving until you hit the marked turn off for Kal provincial park on your left. park in the first section of the big parking lot... you will need $3 for parking... and then go down the paved path where you will find us at the left at the bottom. COOL!!! see ya there.... if you get lost... phone my cell... 3062417

Poker Again....

Tonight is definately not for money.

When we do play for money we would more likely give a percentage of the pot to the top few players depending on how many people play. Something like 60% to the top player, 30% to the second player, and 10% to the third player. That is how the tournaments I watch on TV and the ones my brothers play online work (except they reward more players because there are more players).

If there are lots of players then we can spread the winnings out a bit more.

Ok...cards, tubes, and BBQ's

Hello,

I'm in for Friday night, but I have to work until 9:30 pm. I need to clean out the shop during the day on Saturday. If the Enderby creek floating event is in the morning or late afternoon, it could work for me. I'll have to have a chat, with whomever is going to Enderby, tonight at the poker game.

I am thinking we should do the poker game like the poker challenge on TV. Everyone gets chips and plays until the chips are all gone. The last person with chips wins all the money. I'm so into winning some coin...as long as Keira doesn't play. She kicked my ass the night we were at her grandma's cabin.

I have to go to work now, so I'll call Ang and Bryce later today for information on tonight.
If you are coming Saturday to my BBQ, you can talked to me tonight at Ang's or call Ang for my number. I don't mind giving directions to anyone; I just don't want to give them or my phone number on the blog.

See you later,
Sammi

tonight...

Iam up for illuminati tonight too! if there are not too many p[eople, we could try that... oh wait... I think Andrew has it, and he is in Vegas still.... hmmm maybe not tonight then. Unless Bryce is talking to him today, and we can pick it up at his house... it would be cool.

Let us know who is interested in tonight.

Poker

We plan to play for money eventually when we can plan something like that but tomorrow is a bit of a short notice for most people for some serious poker play. Plus since I was thinking of a more open games night lots of people are not likely going to want to play for money.

Well...hopefully some people read this soon so we can guage what people want to do or if people even want to come tomorrow.

Correction on the river trip...

It actually costs $5 and they provide the tube from Kal tire.... proceeds go to the kingfisher interpretive centre and the Myra canyon tressles.... They are starting at the Enderby Bridge and going to Waterwheel park... I figure it would take an hour at the very most... it actually isn't that far. But ya, It will be in the guiness book of world records.. I work Saturday during the day, so I would love it if a bunch of you went and created some work for me... ya know, drown a couple people.... knock them flat off their tubes... :)

I am up for a BBQ at Sammi's Sat night though....


Oh, FRIDAY NIGHT PLANS>....... POKER NIGHT????? MATT, KEIRA??? Anyone else interested..... I am off work and so is Monte.... him and Bryce and most likely Kyle are interested.. I think we were going to play for money weren't we??? $5-$10 each.

Friday

Friday night we are planning a get together. It will probably be at our house unless somewhere else works better.

We are planning to play cards and whatever else people want to do. Some of us are definately going to play poker (Texas Hold'em). Everyone is welcome. Dont worry if you dont know poker very well as we have been teaching alot of people lately and we are not (currently) playing for real money.

Ang said she would post about it on here tonight (she is at work) so check back for the details.

Matt & Keira: Maybe your place would be better if you are interested and lots of people want to come. Also, we need to get around to planning that $10 buy in poker night. I have some ideas about it and have talked to a few people who are interested. A friday night may be the best time for it.

I wish I was able to go camping

Hey Everyone,

It looks like everyone had a great time. I was planning to come up on Saturday after work, but I was sick. I didn't feel to good at work, and I got sick as I was getting ready to leave for the camp site. I felt like shit for the rest of the evening.
It's good to see my group of friends in Vancouver aren't the only crazy people that enjoy playing 500 up. Everytime we played 500 up, someone dislocated or broke a body part. I would think the water would be a lot kinder to everyone playing.
From the pictures, it looks like you had a great turn out. I really wanted to go. I wasn't sure if I was going to stay over night because I was working all weekend, but I was going to visit until the wee hours of the morning.
So, what's up for this weekend? I am thinking about having everyone over for a BBQ and outdoor games on Saturday night. I'll post or call with details.

chat with everyone later,
Sammi

Who wants free stuff???

Isaac and I found a bunch of stuff in our campsite that we don't want, so we've decided to auction them off to the highest bidder :)


1) Some sort of REALLY small tarp with hooks in each corner
2) A Canadian flag chair with carry bag



3) A pair of slightly used steel toed boots (These need to go quick because I REALLY don't want them)


Items can be picked up at my place whenever someone's home (which is most of the time).

Camping Pictures

Okay guy's here are some camping highlights..... sorry they are not all in order.... FUN TIMES!!!!


The mountain Road we decided to drive up.... bear country!!!

All the goons piled in the back of the truck getting ready to go...

leaving the campsite...kyle wanting to sleep.

Dean at the top of the mountain, disturbing the foilage...

Arms up!!!!! WHooo hooo!!!!

The football players in the lake playing 500.

More goons on the 'back' road trip...

"Wait for it.... Wait for it....."

Mostly everyone.... just hanging out.

Mandy dominates the guy's in 500!!!!

Taking a break at the top of the gravel pit...

Climbing in Isaacs truck....Straight up!!

OH OH!!!! Did we break something coming down the other side????

Here we are hill climbing and 4x4ing at the gravel pit. Fun Stuff!!!

Isaac and I decided to take Joel, Dave and Shelly on a detour through a mud pit we found.... here they are getting soaked!!!!! HA hA!!!

Here are the Poker players betting all their savings away....

I know I said I was coming

Hey everyone!

So I know I said I was coming out camping..... well..... i had probably the worst week of my life and I'm probably just going to stick around town and hang out in my pj's. I know.. sad isn't it.

I hope everyone has an awesome time! Hopefully see you all soon!

Salute Toute la Monde!

Salut Toute la Monde

Going Camping Tomorrow...

If anyone has any other questions, now's the time to ask them, as I will not be online after tonight... We will be leaving vernon tomorrow sometime around noon-2:00 depending on how long it takes to get out of town.
Update on who's coming when:
Thursday: Ang, Bryce, Kyle
Friday night....Dean,Dave,Isaac,Andrew, Shawn?, Melissa?,Cam?...
Sat... Keira, Matt, Sammi, Mandy.....

Anyone else??? If some of you can carpool it would be easier and probably cheaper, other wise you have to pay for each one of your vehicles and I think that they only want like 2-3 vehicles per site or something... we can figure it out when you get out there though, if you can't car pool. You are able to park you car up at the top of the road if you have to... but no one will be around to watch it there.

wow..

Sorry to hear about your hand shawn.... even more sorry to hear that you had to deal with the nurses in VJH Emerg. : ) Um, ya, there is a fee for camping, but I am not sure what it is... I believe it is like $10 per car per night and you get 4-5 people in each car..... so We will see on thursday when we get there, and you can call us on our cells if you need to know for sure.
CAN'T WAIT!!!! hopefully Sasturday clears up for the weekend... so far Thursday looks good, but Friday there is clouds and chance of some rain...

Camping

We're in for camping. We'll come out saturday lunchtime-ish and stay that night. Sorry that took me too long to blog.

Is it closer for us to go the Kelowna way? I don't know where fintry is.

I'm alive!

Hey guys!


Well here I am, in "ye ol comox" being the sailing/computer guy! It's been week one and I'm head's ready to go BOOM! busy busy busy. It's it's good here. Having some fun in the sun.

That's it from me, just let you guys know I'm alive!

Cheers!

***Camping!!***

Since this got pushed down, thought I would bring it back up to the top of the page to remind everyone....

CAMPING:

July 7,8,9,10 and then Dave and Isaac will prob be staying out there until Wendsday the 13th.

Fun Stuff!!!! IT WILL BE HOT!!! SWIMMING WEATHER!!!! (hopefully). NONE OF THIS RAIN CRAP AGAIN! So the real party will be friday, Sat night when most people will probably be able to make it out. We are going nice and close this time, so hopefully EVERYONE will be able to come and either stay or at least visit. We are going to the Okanagan Lake Forestry site again, on Westside road, about 10-12 min before Fintry (coming from Vernon). There are usually signs on the road saying camping. It is on the lake side of course and the road that you turn off onto is dirt and winds down to the lake... you are at a pretty high point on Westside road and it then starts to wind, just past where you turnoff.

SO far it looks like these people are going out these days... (please add your names to the list)

Thursday: Bryce, Ang, Kyle, maybe Dave and Isaac to set up there tents??
Friday: Bryce, Ang, Kyle, Dave, Isaac,
Sat: diddo....Team Sugar(matt/keira)
Sun: diddo....
Mon: Dave, Isaac
Tues: Dave, Isaac, maybe Ang during day
Wends: Dave, Isaac

CANADA DAY DINNER AT BEACH...

Happy Canada Day Everyone!!!! Lets go for a swim..... I am supposed to be off at 4pm, but you never know, could be earlier. After work, I want to go down and go for a swim. I was thinking that if anyone else was interested, then we could grab subway or something and go over to Kekuli Bay beach. I checked it out yesterday. $3 for parking of course.... It is at the campsite along the highway, just 3-5min south of Kal Campus, on the way to Kelowna. Nice beach. Anyways... if I am off at 4 then I will be heading there at 4:30ish.... if not then I will be there earlier... hope you all will join me!!!!!

CANADA DAY HUMOR: Only in Canada.....
