Yup, uh-huh..........

Be like Nigel they say.....social distancing.....stay home.....

Well, we are doing our part, the Nigel t-shirts are a nice touch I would say. 

More than two months have gone by. This has been an adjustment I have been having trouble adjusting to.

We see Nigel on the news, he is the sign language guy in the bubble. He has become a bit of a local celebrity due to his very animated signing. Hence the 2 meter social distance t-shirts. 

One of the benefits of stay at home living, the home-cooked food! ((Even I'm finding out I can cook if I put my mind to it, haha. (private joke meaning to that statement, sounds like I'm preaching to my kids.)).

....and voila!, lamb chops with the sides, yum-yum!

A good start to the day with pancakes! This recipe I have been using since the kids bought me a cook book called: See Dad cook, hyuk, when they were little.

...being home, you get to appreciate the small (in this case, big) things. The tree outside my condo in enormous. 

The view of the same tree from my 11th floor balcony. The tree is actually a bit higher than my place.

The naked eye got a better view of this super full "flower" moon rising over Mt. Baker than my phone did.

Starting to get to know my neighbourhood with all the walking I have had time to do since my untimely unemployment. This condo site is one of many going up to the south of my place on the Burnaby/New Westminster border. Who's going to buy these with the economy the way it is right now with the whole covid thing. 

I have no time excuses any more! (....and believe me, household repairs is way down on my hobbies I love list.....) This kitchen sink strainer was starting to leak. ("I can do this!", he said unconvinceably , if that's even a word!)

....yikes!

Haha, I am good at taking things apart. These are disgusting!

Like a portal into my future career as a plumber?? I think not!

In the end, it wasn't so bad, I even gave myself a B+

Yay!, more surprise foods from Ritsue. This time......yam (shirataki) noodles!

My brother Skip got me going again on searching for treasures in old photo albums in storage. One example, this ticket stub from the 1984 Stanley Cup playoffs!

Then we started getting into memorabilia. He sent an autographed Charlie Major ticket stub. I think I trumped, no, bested (is a better word) him with this record album autographed by the Canadian icon Stompin Tom Connors. He signed it for me many, many moons ago in Penticton.

All the time in the world to explore Byrne Creek Ravine park, which is very close to my place.

All smiles, no one else around, and that's the right amount of social distancing for me.

Spotted this yellow-spotted millipede along the trail.

These days I will only watch the sky-train by my place at Edmonds station. I think it will be awhile before I feel comfortable enough to ride it again.

I couldn't download the video, but this is still a cool shot of a my son's motion cam he has set up at his mother's place in Summerland. This coyote hung around for a couple of minutes before it disappeared down the bank.

The kids went exploring on the old KVR railway trail above Naramata, across Okanagan Lake from Summerland.

The view in places is spectacular. I've been going up there since my teenage years, although it has been awhile.

There's junior inside the Adra tunnel. Man, in my day, you could drive through the tunnel. I remember it was pitch black in the middle, and turning your lights off to scare your passengers was a lot of fun, as me, being the driver, remembers.

So much rock has fallen over the 30 plus years since I first was introduced to the tunnel.

This is really cool, I think this copy of the original will still work.

With the help of Ritsue, still trying to learn a little Japanese. This was also a taste lesson, with neapolitan being the test ice cream!

Not quite ready to roll, but hopefully getting closer. The Good Doctor season 4 should be one the first to film in Vancouver. (The studio shows should be first, because the sets, like the Good Doctor hospital, are pretty much ready to go, I suppose.) The speculation is still in July some time.

Yup, uh-huh.......
