My aunt saw something really cool on TV. I think she knows how anal I am about cleaning my windows. I can’t stand streaks and will literally spend hours cleaning them so they are streak-free. Well, I no longer have to worry about that. Introducing the Karcher Window Vac. I checked out the reviews and they are great! Still, I was a tad skeptical – those people just aren’t as particular about window cleaning as I am. My mother and my aunt went over to Canadian Tire last week and asked if the new window vac had come in yet. They said they were just unloading them at that time. That brought one out for them:
I spritzed a window with Windex and put the vacuum to it. Was I really seeing what I was seeing? The window was perfectly clean and NO streaks! I figured the lighting was just bad and I would try it again and see all of the streaks the next day. Well, in full sunlight, the window was perfect. The window vac is amazing – it actually took longer to put all of my windows back in the tracks than it did to clean them! Thanks Jan and Syd!
Boo was pretty underwhelmed with my great news about my clean windows. She just flopped on her back next to me, and proceeded to gnaw on her tail in this rather lewd pose:
Mike and I had a good weekend. On Saturday, we flew the grueling nine minutes to Welland for a COPA breakfast. About twenty planes flew in plus quite a few drove in. Great attendance and a yummola breakkie. The skydive club is now at the Welland Airport, so we all got to watch bodies tumble from the sky.
Kinda cool. I did four jumps back when I was in the Army – quite fun!
After we flew back, I dropped Mike off and he set up the tripod and camera to video me doing some aerobatics. They turned out pretty well but we need to tweak a few things.
On Sunday, Mike and I walked downtown and attended Buskerfest. We stopped at Tim Hortons first where we could watch one of the performers:
He was on an insanely tall unicycle, spinning whips around that were lit on fire. Crazy!
I saw something behind Mike that I knew was going to cause the biggest grin ever. He LOVES cheesecake and the stand out front of Timmies had deep fried cheesecake. Mike said he was going to get a donut and I said he might want to reconsider. I then pointed out the sign behind him with the cheesecake. Yup, game over!
We were both shocked at the size of the piece of cheesecake they dunked into the fryer – it was a full-sized piece!
I’m not a big cheesecake fan, but this was pretty good. I had a couple little nibbles. Slurp!
It was a really good weekend. I have more flights planned next weekend, plus Mike and I will be flying out to a private runway near Fort Erie in two days for a monthly gathering.
Today’s symptoms: After how fatigued I was yesterday, I was actually quite surprised how much better my energy was today. Had really bad spasms in my calves though. Bad timing – I walked all the way home from work and realized I forgot my keys. Had to walk all the way back to work and home again. Didn’t feel too good but it was good exercise!
