life...or lack there of...

so it seems that some people (cough, cough) are concerned with my lack of blogging lately. to tell you the truth it is not the only think that has been lacking in the last little while. so has my life, lol. pretty much all i do these days is work, eat, shower and sleep. it isn't too bad though because i really like the guys that i am working with (mark vanderwoerd (foreman) and nick huls if any of you know them). they are a lot of fun and keep me laughing. i also really admire their friendship.

other news in my life: christopher is in mississippi on a mission trip. this is happy but sad. i really hope that he is having an awesome time there, serving and learning more about God but i miss him like crazy :(. i can't wait till he gets back!!! i hope that he has lots of exciting stories!!!

so back to talking about work (because that is mainly my life right now) a lot of funny things happen there. (probably because of the crazy people that work at EHL) so there is this guy named Jaun who is mexican. a few days ago he was ranting a raving about how much canadians and americans butcher spanish. it was really funny to here him try to say spanish words with a canadianese accent, lol. he wears these brown floods all the time and we always make fun of him for it. he is constantly stealing every one's tools and then when we ask him about it he says "what...is it because i am mexican that you think that i stole the tool?" we all just laugh because we all know that he stole the tool and he knows that we aren't thinking that, he just wants to get away with it. then there is this guy named vick who is about 35 but acts like he is about 19. his brother also works for EHL. his name is mario. i have realized that mario is the man of grading. he is so totally awesome at grading up land it isn't even funny. its perfect every time. he (and his crew of 2 others (sam (who is the nicest guys around) and ramoen (who is the laziest guy around)) grade up about 5 or 6 lots a day! those are all the latin-american guys. then there is my crew which i already talk about. then there is also dave who is sort of quite but still alot of fun (i sort of grew up with his, he's sort of a family friend). oh i almost forgot, peter kranenburg works with vick and jaun. i sort of feel sorry for him for having to work with them cause they can be pretty disgusting some times and then swear A LOT. he seems to be taking it alright though. vick and jaun are always trying to get him to buy beer for them. the last two guys that work at EHL are colin (or columbo) and trevor (or mini-Ed). i will make no comments about my boss's kids except for the fact that i worked with trev today. (talk to me in person and i might make few comment but not over the internet, lol).

so one funny story about work (sorry, nick, if you ever read this): one of my first days at work nick put diesel in the hydrolic oil on the bobcat...bad news. ed was pretty pissed especially beacause it was a new machine. well i shouldn't say that it was entirely nick's fault...jaun told him where to put it and even opened the tank for him...it was nick who noticed the writing the cap after putting about 3 liters of diesel in.

other story: i killed 2 baby killdear this morning...sorry felix. they really shouldn't make their nests on the ground in the middle of no where. not very safe. i was nicely raking, doing my job., and all of a sudden i feel something crack under my foot. i look down and i had smooshed 2 of them. mark looked at me and shook his head "murderer" he said. i felt pretty bad. i hope the the birds still come back to the nest.

well i have to go now. i hope to post again soon...probably with more stories (to tired right now to think of more (its 10...later then i have been up since sunday night)). hopefully see you all soon!!!
