summer's end

Summer's nearly gone here with just days until the official start of autumn. Its been raining through the weekend, pouring rain during the night and even some lightning with thunder. Lightning and thunder aren't often seen in these parts, inland yes, but not so much here. Back east where I lived most of my life (soutwestern Ontario) there was plenty of it in the summer, even in the winter on occasion. So, the weather where swimwear is suitable attire at the beach has fallen behind us. Now its time to wear something warmer! Ah, but all's not lost, there's still warmer places like Hawaii or Cuba perhaps, or where they're just heading into spring, there are such places as Australia and Argentina just to name a few. Get out and buy your ES swimwear but to be sure there are many other labels out there as well.
Now I can just visualize seeing Brad in some hot swimwear, can you? We're planning to head out to Germany early next summer, so we'll certainly need some new swimsuits for the beach on the Baltic Sea. What do you think? Sounds like a plan to me! Well, I hope you've had an awesome weekend and are ready for the work week, well, if you're working. If school is the thing, well, good luck on your studies! Take care, guys!!! - V

hot dudes and more

Its been just over a week since I heard from Brad but he did warn me that he can only use the computer at the work camp he's in when the operator is away. We can only exchange emails but even a short one is a welcomed message. Brad's staying in a second work camp and, if I'm correct, this one's on the island, Vancouver Island! He's cooking for the guys and again, if memory serves me correctly, its something he was doing back east in Nova Scotia. The first camp he was in was in Kicking Horse Pass where he was staying with his cousin, the only cousin he's got he says. I passed through that area on my way west in February 2006, the route through Banff, Lake Louise, Kicking Horse Pass and Golden and on to Vancouver. Brad must like where he's at and what he's doing. Its his journey through life and I should be patient enough to see him take it where he has to go.

The second camp sounds like one that's much easier for me to get to, so I sent him an email today asking if we could meet up there or in a nearby town. I'll wait to see what happens but I'd love to see him and get caught up on things. It beats emails and stuff though they've got their place too!
Today its a mixed bag. Its been raining, not that we don't need it, but its also been sunny at times. The temperature is around 19 degrees Celsius and the humidity, well, its around 88 percent from what I see on the weather network.
I re-loaded my smartcard, so I have enough funds to get the laundry done either this evening or in the morning. Then I've been reading emails and checking out blogs through the afternoon. Now with the rain stopped for a bit I may head over to the mall at Metrotown, Metropolis at Metrotown its called. There's more coming, so come back!
Well, I've added a few photos here of hot guys in jeans and one not. I love seeing awesome dudes with their hot physiques stuffed into blue jeans or whatever attire they like and I hope you do too, so enjoy the pics! They're taken from the net but I can't say who the models are or who took their photos. Obviously not mine but I'd love to take such awesome photographic work. Have a great weekend, guys!!! - V

hot dudes

Today, I asked for and received a letter from my financial institution admitting it was their mistake that cause the NSF cheque. This letter goes to the property manager at the building complex I live in. The purpose is to allow me to submit personal cheques again rather than money orders. Otherwise, I'd have to submit money orders for each month that rent is due. This should be the end of all the recent troubles and put us back to where we were before this all happened. I wish everything was as simple to resolve.
The weather was overcast and dull most of the day. I don't think I saw any sun though I did see some blue patches in the sky. The humidity was at 82 percent this morning as I got up. As a result, I couldn't sleep well during the night. Rain is in the forecast but we only had a sprinkle where we are.
Brad asked me if we could go to Germany. This was in one of his recent emails. Well, since I haven't been there in years, haven't got any relatives alive that I used to visit around any more and would love to travel with someone that I find very special and close, I said we'll go but next summer. July seems to be the best month for me. I only get two weeks vacation time at the moment but may ask for a third if the company I work for will allow it. Otherwise, its at least two weeks. One of the definite stops is Berlin, the German capital and the gay mecca of Europe. There's a lot happening since the wall came down and changes have been many.
Before closing, I thought I'd add a few random photos to inspire you, to motivate you, or to just bring a smile to your face! Enjoy!!! - V

Today, I found out what contributed to my financial woes at the start of the weekend. A payment had come out of the wrong account and caused an overdraft situation. The landlord has the rent funds and I've been reimbursed the fees that I was charged for the pleasure. I wish that everything was resolved so easily!

On a brighter note, I thought Brad might find the above photo of interest since he's been a cowboy himself. I hope you've all started off your week on the right note! Have a good one!!! - V

hot brazilian

Edilson, our Brazilian hottie, has appeared recently inJunior Magazine (Brazil). I see he's still in fine form and looking as hot as ever! With that, have a good night or good morning, depending upon where you happen to be when you read this!!! - V

wet

I've always enjoyed watching hot guys in wetsuits or seeing photos of them. What about you? The weather is getting cooler here with autumn not far away, so we may see much more of this as the water gets colder. What do you think? - V
