Starting some things over

Well, guess it's time to start some things over again....
Since I got canned from Elco Systems 2 weeks ago, I've had a bit of time to think where I can go from here.

My final resolution is to rebuild my business here in the Maritimes and really make a go at this thing... It's going to be a hell of a lot of work, but if I play my cards right, this is going to be better than any 'job' I've ever had!

So, if there's anyone you know in the HRM that is looking for computer sales and service, have them drop me a line! :o)

Jack Frost biting your nose off

I'm sure most of us have heard the term 'Jack Frost nipping at your nose' from one of the most popular Christmas Caroles, Silver Bells.

Well if Jack is out tonight, he's bitting our noses off! With wind chills dropping the mercury to -30c, it's starting to feel like the prairies here! I'm just glad to be back indoors and not freezing my tail off at the bus stop like I was on my way home from work. It doesn't look like it's going to warm up before the end of the weekend either, so I'm dreading heading out tomorrow. I feel sorry for those not used to this bone chilling weather, and hope all my friends out there are nice and warm.

We're pretty much all dug out here now in the Halifax region, I don't know about the more rural areas, but pretty much all the streets and sidewalks are done here in town - at least on the Dartmouth side.

Another NorEaster

Well,
Nature seems to favour Mondays as the day to dump stuff on us. Though the storm hit us yesterday, shutting down transit and any events, continual blowing wind with a bit of snow has kept the city closed. Blowing snow and icy roads is what has shut everything down, even though much is already plowed. Most malls and business are closed till noon...
When we were living in Winnipeg, you'd never see this sort of thing, then again as much as Winnipeggers complain they get a lot of snow, they've never seen anything like this!

Talk about the weather!

Wow, look at all that snow!
Not a week after Halifax gets brought down to a crawl that mother nature has hit us again!
It wasn't necessarily a lot of snow, just how it came down... extreme winds and varying temperatures gave to wet blowing snow with ice pellets. Being sent home early from work for fear that they would shut down transit, I had trouble seeing as I tried to walk the less than 10 minutes from the office to bus stop. But I made it home, once the weather dies down a bit, I'll take a couple of snap shots to show those of you not subjected to this weather what nature has dumped on us this time. :)

Christmas Photos

Well, I got some Christmas pictures up... I'm going to see about linking the whole lot off my main website. In the mean time here's a good sample of the pictures I took this Holiday Season. With a few more days to go, expect a few additions.

I hope you all had a great Christmas and all the best to you and your family in the New Year.

Rob & Family.

Four little munchkins all snug in their beds on Christmas Eve. 

The stockings were hung on the banister with care, looks like Santa's already been there! 

The beauty of a tree surrounded with gifts. 

Roaming the Beach on Christmas Day. Who said it was only a summer thing? 

Some of us were happy to see the snow finally come to the Maritimes. 

Winter Wonderland, trudging along the road to the store as sidewalk plows haven't come around yet. 

Looks like somone had snow on their Christmas Wish List. This is our parking lot Dec 28.

Welcome to my new Blog Site

Welcome Friends and Family to Rob's Blog Site.

I created this Blog site as a way to share news, photos and updates with friends and family around. I've tried photo sharing programs, but none of them seem to work out well, and sending large e-mails with lots of pictures just clutters inboxes.... This way one can preview photos and only download the ones you like.

Hope this goes well, I have set the posting limmitation to members of this Blog only, to prevent random posts from random people. To be added to this Blog, you may have to register, though let me know if you would like to comment on this board and I should be able to sign you in and send an invitation.

Things go well, this could be a great way of family to keep in touch!

Rob.
