Number three

I am writing this post on a fancy new bus on its way to Lions Bay via Horseshoe Bay. My guess is that it's a test model as there is no fair collection machine (free ride!), and all the ads on the bus are for the bus. I'm on my way to Nanaimo for a band practice/fun-time visit, but the traffic on the bridge has me wondering if I'm going to make my ferry. On the plus side, missing a ferry at Horseshoe Bay isn't the worst thing that can happen to someone. You can always get a beer in town, walk around, check the ladies. Just don't get caught slippin'.

My cider was looking good for a while (no photos, sorry), but in the past couple days it's lost some pep. I might need to add a little priming sugar when I get back or just wait until things get warmer and try again.

Here are some photos from the ferry.




Not sure how that happened.




Sun setting.




Silly people.

I've recently discovered a 400 m track mere blocks from where I work. There is a simple workout I intend to do there this coming monday, wednesday, friday. Do it.

*** Update ***

The track is made of asphalt! I got there and was like "I can do this at home", so I did.

Number two

A working bike!




There are still a few minor things left, but for now I'm just happy to have it working again.

In other news, we have a new roommate moving in today. I've never met him, but I'm sure everything will work out (this is what I need to tell myself). All kidding aside, I've got a good feeling about the whole thing. It was also a good excuse to do some spring cleaning and get rid of a bunch of junk. Anyone need a mismatched set of cutlery?




With spring approaching I've decided to start a batch of homemade hard apple cider. It's very easy to make and is ready to drink in just a few weeks. I'll try to post a quick how-to sometime.
