Tango In Sight.....Neutralized

So this past Thursday at around 8:40PM, I'm hanging out with Tinglez & Lmack in my basement when my mom calls me upstairs. She tells me that we need to go out to my farm now, which isn't too bad cause Lmack needs to be home by 9 anyway.


Now for a little bit of back story. About two weeks ago, my farm was assaulted. Some people broke into the cellar & stole a 30-gallon jug of 30 year old homemade wine. They also busted into the driving shed, stole some tools, busted all the windows in my parts car, and put a shovel through the windshield. Since then, my had had installed a couple cameras and a motion sensor light.


Back to Thursday. I quickly learn that our farm neighbors across the road notice the light on and what seems to be an open shed door and give my mother a ring. So we head out. These events excite Lmack and he regrets his inability to attend.


I get a little worked up too, thinking if they are still out there, what the fuck will I do? I consider taking a bat or something to defend myself with, but we just called 911 before we left so I didn't think much of it.


When we get there, two OPP cruisers are there to meet us. They already checked out the shed and found nothing. The door was closed when they got to the scene. As we move to check the house, another one pulls up.


The female officer checks the perimeter of the house as my mother and I check inside with the male officer. Now I don't mean to sound like chicken shit, but I tried to let him lead as much as possible. I'm about 6'1" and he stood a good 2 or 3 inches taller than me, and probably twice my weight; and not in a fat way. Had someone been in the house still, we both would have been safe with him on point; what with his gun, vest, and training/experience he had over me.


We check all the rooms in the house, everything came up clean. False alarm, or they took off before we got there. Either way it was less exciting than anticipated. The camera caught nothing cause my dad had played around with it the day before & it wasn't recording. That has since been resolved.


In other news, I had an EOT co-op party at my boss' house in Guelph on Friday. The was to be filled with a movie, Wii, and Xbox 360, however, within the first 15 minutes my Xbox received the dreadful Red Ring of Death. That kind of bummed me out but I still managed to enjoy the night with Wii Tennis... I want one.


Saturday I had to help my sister move out of Waterloo and afterwards did some shopping. Luckily, my Xbox came with a 3 year warranty and so I went to Factory Direct where they (after a lot of apathetic attitude and 2 already broken Xboxs) gave me a new one.


After shopping, Tinglez and I saw Harold & Kumar 2, and let me tell you, it's fucking sweet. It was a great start to summer movies and had lots of great previews for things to come.


Wrapping things up, for those of you who don't know (probably those who don't regularly read my blog), this Sunday I make the move back to Waterloo for the Summer term. So this weekend is time to party. Hope to see you all before I leave.


Cheers.
