(thinking LASER TAG with the mouse...)
Well yesterday couldn't have been more perfect... :)unbelievably perfect weather (like... it was on the plus side yo!) All sun... like it was spring.
Up early... skiing all day with the boys and Z and then a trip to the "house"... home, relax, and then my folks for a b-day dinner.
And yes... I was able to ski just fine.
The only "pain" was how the chair lift sometimes connected with the ouchi spot when I was sitting down.
Today is all about the birthday party with the kids...
Gray skies, the odd snowflake and staying warm.

Remember I was talking about my Da and the "carving of the knots" thing...
Well dig this stuff...
This is the actual project the club was assigned... a "celtic knot" carved from a single piece of wood, no joins.
This is the "gordian knot" that he mistakenly thought he needed to carve... he made a few and put them in a mobile (again, with the "single piece of wood, no joins).
Also... just for fun... check this out.
Click this picture to see which element of this bouquet is ... carved out of wood!!!
~ he is sure having fun with this stuff.
Oh, and check out the latest iteration of his web site at [ :: woodwiz.corto.ca :: ]
(I keep trying to address the observations you all make... and soon I'll knuckle under and load up the catalogue with stuff).

I'm having some fun with sorting out images and little video files about the "house".
Long way to go... but for now...
A version of that image will be linked up with the following video files on the "house project web".
(I recommend you right click, save and view... instead of streaming them off my slow server)
[ :: September :: ] - before any digging... when we were still just trying to decide...
[ :: December :: ] - I posted this one before... it's the "snow visit" video.
[ :: January :: ] - and a walk about with the poured foundation ... shot yesterday... (more talking).
Seeing the foundation... walking around on it... just about has me exploding with excitement.
Mix up that with being able to ski yesterday... and dude... yesterday was just outstanding. :D
k... time to go and work on the bathroom. :D
See ya soon. :)
PS. If you DL the videos ... tell me about that... do they play well? video quality ok? I make them for a small window display 320x240 sorta deal... s'ok?
