bullets, burritos and guns....and some lawns for good measure.

it was a week to be sure. i remember it well...
i had dinner with mark mushet at topanga on...i think...wed?...shit...maybe it was tuesday...nope, wed. we don't eat together nearly enough so i should be able to remember this details, when it was, more clearly...anyhow...nice to sit down with him. his magazine, the vancouver review, has been nominated, again, for some magazine (duh) awards and he should be proud of that....good for you, and his finer better half and other half of the magazine, gudrun will. we ate like champs and then went back to his place where i saw some things i can't report on, kind of, stole some cd's to listen to and then split...i'm like that.
fawn and i made the scene at savary island pie company as well this week...and then afterwards i ran a few errands with her as well - mac cosmetics first followed by american apparel. it's always great to hang out with the fawnz....
cut a few lawns this week, more than a few, including judy's lawn - mother of jessica (who's lawn i also cut...that sounds weird...) and wife of tom zallen - one of the world's great guys..he still is even though he's gone...and the russian mafia lawn out in burnaby, except it turned out that the russian woman i met the first time, is/was not the 'russian'. she was and is the mother in law and this time i met the actual russian'..it was confusing at first but i figured it out...maybe you had to be there.
yesterday was a six lawn day...big day. that's all i have to say about that.
today, two lawns - including a brand new client which is always nice (and they seem really nice and regular..a bit of a shocker...lol) and a nice big sandwich at bosa - garbs' favorite sandwich - the bosa club....it's a fuckin meal to be sure.
marcy gave me some bedding plants for the deck so i'm kinda excited about that...i love the flowers on the deck...more therapy...thanks marcy...
and now, i wait for the finals of the stanley cup layoffs to begin...the mighty wings against the penguins. and i'll say it right now...i'm not that concerned with who wins as long as it goes at least six games...it's been a long time since there was a match-up like this one...it should be very entertaining...

ok...rock on.

nice new lawn at 43rd and fraser...

i cut this one after the guy who lives i that place came across the road saying, "hey!"...and then...you know it's a long story that's kinda funny in it's long form but maybe it won't translate here...nice guy. i was happy to cut his lawn.

my first mower finally bites the dust. i was given this mower when i first started lawn order by dan cervin, a godd guy and co-worker. it's finally had to be retired. the engine is still good so i'll use it for parts, but the rest is shitola. see ya buddy - you were a good mower, i'll miss ya.



yes...there were some pics here....now they're gone...
