Home again

I can’t believe we have been back two weeks. That means I haven’t written a blog since Melaque. I better get started! My public is waiting; all six of them; up one from last year. Part of the problem was that I got locked out of my site because I screwed up the password three times.

Our trip back was the best we have had in several years. We flew from Manzanillo to Calgary and then to Comox. The trip took nine and a half hours. After a night in Comox, Mike and Faye took us home to Spidey.

The following day we went to Barb and Dave’s for dinner. Normally we wouldn’t do this so soon as we are tired and need to get settled in, but they tempted us with a roast beef dinner and some great company so it was hard to say no. We stayed overnight and went home the next morning.

Now the work begins! As well as all my usual chores: Taking tarps off of stuff, unwrapping the car etc. I had a huge pile of firewood to move and store. I’m lucky as it has been raining and I couldn’t work in the rain too much. Sore hip, you know, wink, wink.

There was some concern about the car as it was the first time we stored it over the winter. There was no need for concern as it was still fully charged and as soon as I connected the small battery it was ready to go.

Three things must be done when arriving back in Canada. First, I have to BBQ a pork roast. I drool thinking about it in Melaque. Second, we have to go with Peter and Suzie to Hong Kong House for some good Chinese food. Third, and by far the most important: Thursday afternoon at the pub with the guys. Although I was a little disappointed when I found out that while I was away, and without my bad influence, they are all only having one beer each now instead of two.

My 3D printer arrived with Gerry and Denise and with my small new one, I’ve been printing up a storm. I’ve been trying to perfect a wine glass as I tend to break glass ones quite regularly. I may have it just about right, but we’ll see. I’m printing sets of two and so far they look pretty good.

That’s it for now or else this will never get posted.
