the world from my point of view
Girls Perfect weather! Maggie has been hanging out with friends at a lake today. Molly worked most of the day but is going to hang out at a lake with friends tomorrow. Neither wanted to join Mom & Dad on the boat. Merva/Farm The canvas is done. It was mostly done early fall but needed…
Merva The brass hinges I ordered arrived – I just installed them. I am super happy with them. They are heavy cast – not the typical stuff. Heavy cast and this pattern/size had me looking ‘far and wide’. These came from Bali. The irony is that we are booked to visit Bali (conditionally) in August….
Deerhorn Played a video game for way too many hours today. Broke away mid-afternoon to do *something* productive. I did a couple of dump runs for the Deerhorn project. Merva I spent some of the evening on Merva continuing to paint the bow birth. It looks like am going to do the entire space now.
The guys have cut the control joints in the concrete. The plan is to grout them. Its not finished yet but I think it already looks awesome. The slab was not level so the new concrete varies in depth from 2″ to 3″. The floor is now level. The empty lot behind is being built…
Merva The fresh paint in the forward birth looks awesome. Deerhorn The guys poured 2″ of concrete over the slab today. This, fresh concrete, is already looking like an awesome new floor. They will cut lines in it around the edges (so it will float) and also across the main areas so it looks like…
Moderna Valerie and I received our (first) shot for COVID today. We ended up getting Moderna. Merva I had prepared the forward berth for some paint and varnish but I did not get the varnish (and some of the paint) until today. I put varnish on the floor (previously just bare wood). Maggie/Mavis I have…
Removed the tender (named Erin) from Merva at the request of the canvas guy. I decided to clean it and possible do some paint & varnish work on it. Cohabitators are back. The bats have surely returned (they do every year. The tarp above the boat makes this a non-issue. Otters are running about but,…
Met with the surgeon today. Everything is super fine. Big thanks for Dr. Sidky and the team around him! We talked about what I can do with the knee going forward and he was like – ‘do what you want but high impact stuff will shorten the life’. So cycling – even long distance –…
Deerhorn The NuHeat is down and things are ready for the concrete guys. All other contractors on-hold until the concrete is down and finished. Knee My knee is healing nicely. I am definitely getting lazy about the targeted exercise but I am putting it to use.
It has been a very long time since the Girls were last to see the dentist. They arrived ready to answer their COVID questionnaire and to get a check up. It seems that Mavis’ favourite ‘safe place’ is with Molly on Molly;s bed. In 4 months Maggie will be moving out (for school) and Molly…
