Pictures in a separate post.
Friday4:30PM: Arrive in Guelph.
5PM: I buy oka cheese. Oka is a semi-soft cheese made by monks in Quebec.
Saturday10AM We arrive at the Glock event at
Shooter's Choice. I learn to shoot 9mm rounds on a Glock. Having failed to plan properly, I share J's .40 and .45 rounds. There's not much of a difference between 9mm and .40s but I didn't even hit the target with the .45s at 5m because of the recoil. Conclusion - .45 pistol better used as a club or one-way boomerang.
12 Noon: Dropped off at the St. Jacob's Farmer's Market to geocache and find pepper jelly. Eaten by mosquitos around #3.
2PM: I find pepper jelly! Specifically, garlic & pepper jelly. It's not the same as whatever J's mom's work acquaintance made, but it's pretty good! Sweet, sour, garlic makes it feel salty, but unfortunately it lacks a bit of extra "oomph" and dimension. The other jelly made me feel like I was tasting with all the colours of the wind. This one is just a high D on a clarinet. It's OK, you can make pretty good movie themes with just one note - e.g. the
Joker's. Also strawberries.
3PM: I eat the pepper jelly with oka and strawberries and homemade chocolate ice cream and everything is delicious.
5PM: J cooks his mom's mac and cheese. We watch 500 Days of Summer, because it builds character, and Stargate, because he's a big fan.
Sunday1PM: We go to the Arboretum. It's, like, 30 degrees Celsius, 34 with humidity, and I immediately sense I've made an awful decision. I start melting. We drag ourselves to three caches and then roll home.
5PM: Hasselback potatoes, pulled pork, strawberries. More Stargate (SG-1). Some House of Bryan. Sarah is just so detrimental to the project, I can't even deal with it. She puts this look on her face that's all "I'm so cute and clueless help me deal with the construction Bryan!" and "I'm wearing cute wellies!" and "Look I'm changing the architect's plans without telling the contractor, and now he has to reset the piles, and by the way this addition adds 50k to the budget!" and "I'm ignoring my interior decorator's calls so hard that she's resigning!" What a catch.
Monday10AM: I get a haircut. I'm not going to get Emma Stone's hair unless I style the cut like hers, and that's never gonna happen.
2PM: Bus to Toronto.
6PM: Find Shivani. Eat at Bahn Mi Boys.
The bahn mis there are roughly equivalent to an 8" sub. She couldn't finish half because "tofu makes me feel so full!" The untouched portion goes to a homeless dude at College station. I personally avoid bahn mis because I find the bread kind of boring.
We go to the Elephant & Castle after and imbibe alcohol.
