Pilot at 11 weeks

He wasn’t very happy about it but at 11 weeks we gave Pilot his first bath. At first he seemed ‘ok’ with water, mostly about drinking it. I found it odd that even though he hasn’t ever seen water more than his dish, just before I dropped him in the tub his legs started paddling. As soon as the water hit more than his legs he wanted nothing to do with it, the soap just added to his urgency to bail... he certainly isn’t an attractive dog when wet.

The last photo is after he dried and forgave me for putting him through all that.

Pilot Campbell

Introducing the Campbell family's newest member “Pilot”. He flew in to Kelowna on Sunday, October 11th at 5:00pm. Pilot is a Soft Coated Wheaton Terrier and is 2 months old.

After getting him home and opening the crate door in our living room... nothing. It took about a half hour to get him to come out... the photos kind of show his progression. He’s now exploring our living room and had his first pee on the carpet... cute. I cut him some slack being such a long hard day coming all the way from Saskatchewan.

Just a thought...

Being in Network Security, I have to think about all kinds of ways someone could hack into a network. As it turns out, the biggest security breach is the staff from inside our network. Here’s a little story that happened to me to help prove my point.

Not too long ago I was in a Starbucks having a nice cup of coffee, I really enjoy coffee. It was dim and quiet, except for one guy on his cell, chatting it up in what my mom would call his "outside voice." Apparently, his wife's a jerk and so is his girlfriend, he's got prostate trouble, and he's made some bad investments... thanks for sharing buddy.

Then, "Hold on, I've got another call." OMG! He yaps for a minute with the new caller and then says the words that sent me scrambling for a pen.

"Take my number and call me back tomorrow" …so I did.
Me: Hey, whatchadoin'?
Him: Nothin'. (Long pause) Who is this?
Me: The guy sitting in the coffee shop with you last night.
Him: How did you get this number?
Me: Dude, what don't I know about you....

I think it’s bizarre how people get so paranoid about personal privacy (i.e Facebook issues?) except when they talk on their cell phones in public. I mean, this guy told the whole Starbucks coffee shop (and most likely the people in the parking lot) about some very personal stuff… he had no idea. I’m sure if the person on the other line was his banker he would have also given his account information including his PIN number as well.

Camping in Oregon and Washington

Sheila and I took a trip starting in southern Oregon up through northern Washington, all along the coast (Hwy 101).

Beautiful country, great trip!

Enough chat, here are some photos;)
