I FINALLY GOT THE PORCH FLOOR IN WITH MY FRIEND TONIGHT!!!
Got some tweaks and other things to do for the two cutouts on the end that shares a wall with the shed, so those are only tacked down for now, but the floor is in and rock solid and looks totally professional. We even got the flooring for the doorway looking great.
We know what sized storm door I need now, so I have to figure out how expensive I want to go with it, and hopefully we can get that framed out and installed and get a proper threshold down there this time so this crap never happens again. :)
Other than that, just have to put my visqueen up on the louvers to keep the snow out until I install windows in the spring and get the gutters up.
Going to be re-doubling my efforts to find a job as soon as those two things are done. :)
Do Right, Be Right. :)

Got the last of jewellery cleaned last night. Just need to separate what will be donated tomorrow.
Couple of things to do today. Rained early this morning. Gotta see if I need an umbrella today. Also expecting some wind.

Puzzles dropped off at my local senior's centre, shopping done, some shredding down and a mess of negatives sorted through.
It is windy out though folks.

I was hoping that the red flag warnings and fire danger would be over at the end of today ... but even though temp peaks are expected to drop below 90F after today and the red flag warnings are supposed to be dropped, the low humidity and winds will continue and create a fire watch condition.
* San Gabriel Valley - that's me.

Well, I butchered 2 pork shoulders and 2 beef briskets for stews, and now they're all snug in their dutch ovens and keeping each other company in a low slow oven.
The pork is going to be a comfort-food pork and white bean stew, into which my pig's feet broth will also go; while the beef is going to be a caliente and picante beef, potato and green chili stew.
Also, my neighbors have got to stop using their wood-burning fireplaces. It's make me nervous!

Getting that on the news up here. I can't imagine being in the midst of that.

Big wind storm blow through British Columbia today. Ferries delayed and sailings cancelled. Trees uprooted and branches blown down. Power outages up the Interior because of the wind. Stanley Park was closed because of the wind. Safety measure since it sits right on the water and trees and branches were being blown down there.

I hope your power stays on Brenda, and there's not too much damage overall.

I hope so to. But I don't think there were any power outages in my area and by that I mean the Lower Mainland which is my city, Surrey, Burnaby and Vancouver.
Some trees down in Vancouver which is where Stanley Park is. News showed a couple of cars damaged.
