Aahhhhumm...

5:45 Wake up. Mad that I only have 15 minutes until alarm goes off. Turn alarm off.
6:30 Get out of bed. Get dressed, go downstairs. Set no land speed records.
6:35 BM.
6:45 Eat breakfast. Sorry Neil, but I had a bowl of Vanilla miniwheats. I will try to spice things up tomorrow morning. Maybe Vanilla miniwheats with cayenne pepper and garlic powder sprinkled on them.
7:05 Start truck. Fiddle around with I-pod (TM) for a bit. Phone beeps. Low battery. Plug in charger to lighter. No work. Fiddle around with that until it works.
7:25 Leave for work. How time flies when you're having fun.
7:55 Arrive at site. Jake bugs me for how late I am. Derek gives me a copy of Highwaymen II. Wind still blowing.
8:30 Roll out. Cristoph (sp?) and I work on dropped ceiling.
10:00 Realize that something is wrong once it is almost done. Fascia is out of level. Jake: "it was level when I put it on". I don't give two peanuts about then, this is now. You ruined Christmas for me, thanks a ton, chisel chest.
10:10 Coffee. Cristoph (sp?) and Derek go into town to get french vanilla's. Bless their hearts. I eat some grapes, carrots, snaps, and a banana.
10:30 They get back with our coffees. Except that they are not true french vanilla's. Rather, they are coffees with the flavor shots in them! Mac's is lucky I don't sue for punitive damages. Maybe I should sue the guys, but I guess they tried their best and failed 50%. Or succeeded 50%, depending on whether you are an optimist or not. I am not.
11:10 Back to work. Start fixing Jake's mistake. Del is prepping the posts and beam, so every now and then I go over to help him flip it over.
11:45 Scottish Jon calls. He needs us back to do some more reno work, blimey boaby. Del has blank look on his face. Nods, says "I had a lovely Robbie Burns day too. Got totally stocious.
12:00 Del hangs up. We practice caber tossin the posts. Robbie knows we will need that skill tomorra.
12:30 Lunch. PB and N sandwich, untoasted. An apple, a granola bar, and some water. Discuss legalizing pot. Well, not really discuss it, more listen to Derek talk about how ballin that would be.
1:30 Back to work. Finish up fixing our little problem.
2:35 Good as new! Back to where we were at 10:00 this morning! Start standing posts.
4:15 RRRRRRRROOOOOOLLLLLLLL UUUUUUUPPPPPPP!!!!! exclaims Andy.
4:15-4:35 Stand around and talk with Del and Andy while everyone else rolls up.
4:45 Leave for home.
5:10 Arrive in Riverdale to pick up tools for tomorra. Aye. Achh. Load up cab of my truck. Wish I had a tonneau cover.
5:58 Arrive home. Put ladder in backyard so no one will take it from the back of my truck. Hope no one will take it from my backyard.
6:00 Post "Protected by Smith and Wesson" sign.
6:30 Eat supper. BBQ'd porkchops and perogies. Thanks me and Honey bunches of oats.
7:30 Feed son snack.
7:50 Give son bath.
8:12 Put son to bed.
8:30 Strip... some wallpaper.
9:30 Surf the ethernet.
10:47 Write this line.
11:00 Shower, s and s and s.
12:45 Bed.

Have a doss night. Achh.

    Todd- question about the mini-wheats. Do you finish the whole bowl or do you throw out the soggy little buggers that get all their sugar washed off at the bottom? I would imagine a seasoned mini wheat connosieur like yourself would let no mini wheat go uneaten. PS- 12:00 is the best line in a while.

  3. Well Canadian Jon, a seasoned mini wheat connoisseur like myself would never let a single wheat go to waste. Even the soggy little buggers at the bottom that have their sugar washed off. The best part of it is that the sugar dissolves into the milk, thus creating a flavored milk, ie: vanilla milk, brown sugar milk, maple milk, strawberry milk, etc. I then drink all of the milk, so that I get all of the wheats, plus the flavor. BAM!
    This is a deeper look into Moments With Todd.

    Todd...
    Weeks ago I could only imagine the day when moments with Todd would go unposted on for longer than a week, much less the day when I would have to resort to commenting on the same post twice. What is the world coming to when the general public cannot know the goings on of our beloved Mini wheat eater's life? I can only hope my words bear any weight. Carry on, Todd. Carry on.

  7. Maybe someday, my faithful friend. Maybe I will find the strength to let the world in on my razor sharp wit and biting social commentary.
