Return of the fat bastard - I'm whining like a puppy.

July 12th 2016

A perfectly content Squatch
      It was raining when I rolled out of bed the backside of 8:00. Nothing I like better than building in the rain! And it rains all the time so you probably don't want to move here. As you know I work on the 10/10 principle. No work before 10 am or after 10 pm. Unless it's real work. The kind you get paid for. So I sucked back the better part of a pot of Jo before heading down to the carport to start day two of Squatch's emergency deck repair.

      As you can see the deck came out great. Big thanks to Christian for the hard work, to Chris for the Sawzall and help with the deconstruction and as always to Next Door Gord for being Next Door Gord.

He always makes me smile.
      It was almost 7 o'clock by the time I put the last screw into the deck. There's a certain satisfaction when you finish a job and can see the end result right in front of you. A lot of what I do takes weeks or even months before I see it, before the product is complete. As I've gotten older I've gotten a lot better at it. The handyman stuff I mean. I've gotten a lot more patient. I have better tools and everything you need to know about everything is on the Internet. Smug and satisfied!
      I had a long hot shower, letting the magic fingers of the waterpik release the tension built up in my neck and shoulders after a hard day of building stuff. I have to say I'm a little stiff and sore. How's that for a manly man, I work two days in a row and I'm whining like a puppy.
      Its 11 o'clock at night I'm sitting here in my housecoat while the recycling sits unrecycled  in the shed and garbage day looming on the morrow. I just heard from Chef boy R Lisa. She's just driving back from Langley to the studio then from the studio to home. I best get my fat butt in gear and get that recycling done.
Here's a couple of night shots of the repaired deck.
Put back together

Night Time Blossoms


That's all I've got
Till next time
Peace out y'all
