YUM YUM

Doesn't it look like a rabbit with the ears? I'm not playing with my food - it just happened to look like this. Guess what it is....YES it is walley!!! Rejean got 2 small ones last night and we had them for dinner. I cooked up some Uncle Ben's Long Grain and Wild Rice and my glass of white wine. We ate the salad earlier. But was it ever good!!! Finally a fish dinner. There were about 16 guys out fishing and Rejean and a couple of other guys were the only ones who caught something. Just real slow. But tomorrow the season ends for the walley until mid May. They are spawning (s-e-x).

I have only one more coat of the high gloss varathane on the cabinet tops. Just a light sanding then that final coat. Finished. Rejean started in the shower - he put some concrete down just to ensure the slope is correct. Then the waterproof membrane, the mortar and then the tiles. Piece of cake. Only tomorrow I will be working all day at the Wharncliffe Hall. Cleaning after the new hall was built. Everything in the kitchen has to be washed down - all the dust and not being used in a year and a half. We will be very busy. Then maybe dinner at Ozzy's.

I won't be turning my computer on tomorrow - apparently there may be a big "worm" invading computers so I don't want it to be one of mine. Talk to you on Thursday.

A LOOK AT MY LAZY SUSAN

Here's a picture of my lazy susan in the finishing room. The pegs can be put into different holes depending on the size of the piece you are working on. It turns very easily. You can just see my cabinet doors in the background. Tomorrow they will be done after one more coat of varathane - then the hardware gets installed - chrome of course. Detail Detail Detail.

Rejean is out once more fishing at Tunnel Lake - one more kick at the can. Maybe fish tomorrow nite...

THERE IS GOLF AFTER SURGERY

Proof!! After knee surgery and about 9 months recuperation he is back!! When there is no pain it is amazing what you can do. But it was amazing what he could do when he was in pain. Just better to be pain free. It is good to take of one's body.

I liked the commercial that was playing about three weeks ago where all the golfers were having a good time, enjoying winning, signing autographs, just enjoying themselves. Then everything gets quiet when Tiger Woods walks into the locker room. You just know how true the commercial was.

WHEN WILL IT EVER END???

LAZY SUSAN

That is not meant as an insult but a device I use for varathaning the doors and cabinet tops. There is no better way than to use it for that process. You can move the object, you don't have to move and does it make a difference. It turns very easily and saves a ton of work. I finished another coat on all the stuff today. Rejean sanded the cabinets and the tops. We will put a final coat of high gloss varathan on the tops of the cabinets to sort of match the granite top of the middle cabinet that has the sink in it. It is glossy. I bought a special cleaner for it. I used it on my bathroom vanity and it does work good - it brings it to a nice gloss.
We woke up to snow this morning - a winter storm that could have dumped 10-15 cm of snow on us - I think we ended up with about 2 inches. But it won't last because it is supposed to warm up this week.
We decided on the design for the boarder in the shower - we found it difficult to cut the little black diamonds so we will just have to have a bigger grout area. It looks great - I'll take a picture tomorrow (it is in the garage and I'm not and I am just too relaxed to go get it so picture tomorrow).
I now have 2 European starlings hanging around - pretty birds - each wing is outlined in a light brown - I hope they stick around. They were even nibbling on the hot dogs.

GOT CLAMPS?

CONGRATULATIONS SHELLEY

Congratulations are going out today to my niece Shelley who has just announced her engagement to Bill. All sorts of memories come flowing back to me of this little girl - Shelley Welley. I can remember playing with her when she was just a wee little thing. I remember pulling on the straps of her overalls to pull her back in my lap and she would pull away laughing and I would pull her back down. We did that for what seemed like hours, all the time she was laughing. She was the flower girl at my wedding at city hall. She will make a stunningly beautiful bride and I can't wait to see it. (there are rumors that it will be in St Maarten) I wish you well.
Work today in the garage. I started varathaning the cabinets and the tops - the doors will have to wait until tomorrow for them to be completely dry. I like doing that type of work. I make sure that there are no drips and it is even. And I have learned not to be cheap - as I am constantly reminded by the master every time I varathane. I don't mind. I do a good job if I do say so myself.
Rejean is ice fishing on Tunnel tonite - they are getting some now. It has been slow so far but Dave at the dump says that he got some so hopefully we will too.
I'll let you know.
Don't forget to turn your lights out tonite for 1 hour - I'll probably just fall asleep.
