#301

Sunday, April 23, 2006

So I just noticed now that my last post there was post #300. Go me.

Today was day 2 of the garage project. The goal for today was to raise the rafters of the garage to eliminate that bow that the roof had developped. This was partly accomplished with a jack from my dad's van, and multple pieces of wood, a hammer, some nails, a saw, and a ladder. We did about 6/9 of the rafters today, more next week. But as you can see, the roof already looks better. After on top, before on bottom:

I also got my dad to drive me to Sport Chek, because I saw they had a big sale on last year's model bikes. But, when I got there they were all out. So instead I had him take me to Home Depot to buy a lawn mower:

After we were done for the day, and went back in the house to check out what my mom had sent with my dad, and it was this:

It's a mini-donut cake!! You know, those ridiculously delicious mini donuts which can be found at any fair/festival worth its salt. The best thing about this picture is that the min-donut cake box is sitting on a box of a dozen Tim Hortons cookies, courtesy of my dad. Donut overload!

And thankfully my sunburn doesn't hurt too bad, only when I forget my arms are burnt and scratch away as if they were fine. I bought some sunblock last evening so I could protect my poor arms today. It seems to have worked, as they don't look any more burned. Thanks for your concern Laura :P

Le sigh... tonight is the Death Cab for Cutie/Franz Ferdinand concert. And me without my ticket. Oh well, I'll just wait until Death Cab comes on its own tour, so I won't be competing for tickets with people wanting to see another band.
