Muchacho Polaco

This is a partial haul from spots around the neighborhood last week. Trying to get things prepped for when landscaping is a thing.

After what seems like a very very long time, today we had our foundation poured for our garage and workshop. This has been long in the works, but today went fast!

We are hoping framing can start next week.

We had a fun trip to one of the motherlands a week or so ago. Every day was sunny which was not expected. Warm temperatures, much like our winters, so we loved it.

We stayed at this great place on the water maybe 5 minutes from Kim’s place. The views were amazing.

Not much on the agenda. I slept a lot which was glorious.

On one of the ferries was approached by someone claiming to be a relative. Kim apparently coordinated that.

Derek and Linda traveled over from North Van to spend the day together. That was a nice surprise.

Lots of fun beach explorations.

And here are some fotos from the place we stayed.

We had a fun time going to a play at Centennial Hall last night with Yrem and Heidi. It was a 3-hour play. So needless to say it will be the very last play I ever attend in my life if I have anything to do with it.

This group has been getting bigger and bigger each year.

I had a work event in Banff, Alberta a few months ago which turned into a really fun trip. Although this city is expensive, the plummeting Canadian dollar helps quite a bit.

And final preparation for the garage build I had four guys over this weekend to destroy the carport. The carport itself was a challenge enough but Jack Cameron up the foundation proved much more difficult. Also the carport falling on my back and causing enormous pain was just bonus.

The plywood was so bad that walking on it guaranteed you wouldn’t last long.

As of this morning things are looking good.

Yun and I had the opportunity to head up to Mesa this weekend celebrate Bailey’s 30th birthday. Chad had rented a multi-million dollar home with nine bedrooms to accommodate a good group of people. Lots of fun.

Private party at the New York Stock Exchange this evening. What a fun experience. Unrestricted access to everything.
