the world from my point of view
I only coded for the afternoon but it was a very productive afternoon. I introduced ‘layers’ to the paint program as well as fleshing out most of the ‘scratch pad’. It only supports two layers at the moment; the background layer (which is always showing a transparency indicator) and one canvas layer. Adding more layers…
Maggie Maggie returned from her trip to San Francisco with some coop ideas to think about. Molly The school had a ‘formal’ and Molly hosted an ‘after’ party at our home. I decided to stay out of the way so I slept on the boat. Nana Valerie, Molly, and I took Nana out for dinner…
Maggie/Nana Tripped over to Victoria. I dropped off receipts to accountant for bookkeeping and then dropped off some stuff for Maggie. Maggie and I had dinner and then headed to YVR early the next day. Maggie is now in San Francisco for a few days. I dropped Nana off in Vancouver so she could visit…
The refit for the Defender has commenced. The roof rack has been removed. The Defender will now fit in the garage. This refit will be, at least, a 3 month process.

I like the new lighting in the garage (installed for refinishing the Penn Yan) so I installed same in the other garage. This may help with the next project – the Defender refit.
Valerie was to fly down to California for work. The plan was to get into Vancouver the day before to drop off the Jag, stay in a hotel, fly out the next day, and pickup the Jag on the way home. The plan unraveled due to severe weather in California – cancelling her business meetings….
Friends At friends for dinner last night. Maggie with a friend skiing at Cyprus for today. Penn Yan The Penn Yan is out of the garage… not quite done but done enough that I can move on to the next project. Its now in the boat house. Defender The Defender is in need of a…
Traditional Christmas morning routine then of to the mountains for sledding with friends. Friends over for turkey dinner later in the day. The microwave has been acting up… working then not. I noticed it was hot for no good reason. So out it came.
