Well, a little tardy. Seems I was too busy to blog, let alone work. Did manage to clear the head with a couple of skating sessions. (Yikes, this was way back in January!)
Hmnnnn, how many more times will my southeast view be of our beloved Mt. Baker.
My hockey art, using just 2 gloves and a helmet! Hopefully using the gear again soon....
The, have to laugh at ourselves, making sure the dishwasher doesn't leak, for a very good reason, pic.
Less time, more pics of Mt. Baker for the memory bank. (I think I nailed this one, just sayin', considering just using my iPhone 16.)
Another day, another beaut!
Deer Lake in Burnaby, a beautiful chilly January day. Maybe the last time?
Missed! (Hard to get a pic of the lake without Metrotown towers in the background.)
There was still frost action on the shady parts of the trails.
A little chilly, but it was a nice week-end in Parksville all the same.
Yes, we were guests at the Parksville Legion. (I'm actually still a member of the Summerland branch, been a while since I've lived there, hmnnnn.....)
Dang, never gets old.
This pic does not show the beauty of that particular morning looking out towards Baker.
Decided to change it up a bit and find a new Saturday night dining experience. (Sorry Wings in Burnaby, you have slid downhill since I first visited you in 2016.) TugBoat Annie's in Richmond was a great pub experience. (and less than 20 minutes from our place, bonus.)
Outside was Shelter Island Marina.
......the countdown.......
Jeez, there was more stuff in my condo storage than I remembered, time to empty it out.......
......I'm smart, emptied out the condo storage and rented a unit at a storage facility, wait a minute!, Huh?!
So many reasons to celebrate! (We always seem to find a way to hoist a cold one!)
Oh ya, it was my birthday, and we celebrated by cooking amazingly fabulous steaks from Kea's Meats in our recently acquired air fryer. Winner, winner, chicken, I mean steak dinner!
Ok, we're getting good at this. Let's get back on the ferry........
......new horizons?
.....could this be it???
.......we need to eat and think. Ritsue helped the situation with this off the cuff asparagus wrapped in pork, call it what you want, I'll call it a delicious meal.
Do not, (not that you know what the heck I'm talking about) get me going on bathroom fans. This is not the answer, unless you want it to blow, not suck, lol.
Well, if you're going to be oot and aboot, without access to refrigeration, you may need (and we did) to buy an electric, charge in your hotel room or in your truck, cooler, and heater, yup!
Wow, the 2026 Winter Olympics have come and gone. That was in February, now it's April, what??? I was happy to see Mark Messier and Wayne Gretzky together at one of the hockey games. Now what?? (The only song in my head was the Monkees hit "Take the last train to Clarksville. Why does that ring a bell???) TBC.........
