Greetings and salutations, hail and good morrow.
On this, the historic first blog by Goonius Maximus, I have something to say. The weather in Northern Ontario is terrible. Although this is hardly a news flash, I feel the need to say something specific about the weather where I am hiding out. I am currently working on a former mine site up in the hinterlands of Ontario and yesterday we had snow. Well, perhaps freezing rain is a better description, but snow was the net effect. Here we are, seven days from the May two four weekend and we get an inch and a half of snow. My lady, who is waiting patiently for me in Sudbury, offered a gentle “Poor guy…” Can you hear the laughter too?
The job has been essentially rained out for the last several days, and the freezing rain was the last straw. The poor contractor shut down and has not been seen this morning. So, today will be another slack day of memo writing and surfing the internet.
I realize that I have not answered the one question that you all want to know. “Goonius,” you ask, ”What in god’s name are you doing in this cold but beautiful portion of Canada?” I am a site engineer. That means that I am responsible for ensuring that this project gets built and will not fall down.
Later,
Goonius Maximus

Excellent first blog entry, Das Goon. I look forward to many, many more. I hope you can put pics of the sites you're working at and jazz on your blog.
Your wife and I are working on learning Photoshop. Hopefully we can turn some of the pics you post into glorious works of art during our 'down time' here. That is, if we aren't playing Diablo.
Big hugs from the Virg.
