The Tao of Steve

Just watched Steve McQueen as “Bullitt”. I don’t know if that is actually the title but that’s how it is written on the DVD cover. Excellent cop movie if you haven’t seen it you should. Steve McQueen is quickly climbing in my personal best actor’s ever ranking.

The Boss really enjoyed the Cordwood workshop. She's more stoked than ever about building a practice bunkie this fall. they didn't get around to putting the roof on so the workshop people will be convening another day for her to come back and help with that. Hopefully my work schedule will allow me to go too.

Night shift

I'm finishing my first series of night shifts tonight and it hasn’t been too bad. I’m still not fast at checking the forms so there is enough work to keep me busy so the time passes quickly. I do get tired about 10 PM though really that’s just an excuse to brew up some Spitfire Longbottom!

The unfortunate part is that I seem to waste the day before I go to work. Of corse that may have something to do with the Boss being away at Cordwood camp...

Shed building

The shed is mostly done with my bro’s help. It’s a rough piece of work. I definitely shouldn’t have skimped on the foundation. Ground that feels solid under my weight isn’t quite so under a thousand pounds of shed. We jacked that corner up an worked until our drills were out of power now all that remains is to tack up the doors. Assuming the shed is still standing when I get back up there :)

Yeah the roof is plastic. But it's a good kind of plastic - a silo/hay bale cover and so presumably will withstand some sun and rain degradation.
