March, 2024 – A Double

March – busy month with the snow all gone at the house but lots still in the mountains around us. Finished the closet in the guest bedroom and knocked down loose rock at the switchback – 20 Bobcat buckets – and removed the river rock beside the basement entrance wall to get ready for paving this summer. Lots of yard clean up and M has been fully occupied with getting the gardens ready.

Before
After – shoji screens were rescued from a yakitori being demolished in Tokyo almost 40 years ago then sanded, oiled and new paper added
Quickly getting filled up
A fun job over a few days, working from the top and bottom with a long bar and a longer poker and Bob
20 buckets moved over the side of the drive, hopefully over the Marmot condos

Lots of shovel and rack work to remove the river rock

I found the skis I wanted in Vancouver and Coop was kind enough to bring them back and I love them. Skied 15 times so far this year. Almost had a true Kelowna Double but I skied and golfed on two consecutive days not the same day. Picked up 5kgs of spek that had been drying for month and sold my old chop saw, a dresser and an old coffee table. Also enjoyed 3 concerts, two movies , a play and a contemporary dance, and a St Pats party, and discovered a ramen shop run by Japanese that is so good we ate there 3 times this month.
