larry makes the scene


the snow doesn't scare larry - not one bit. when the element went down saturday larry sprung into action and not for a second did i worry that the snow would make him fall short. sure, i got corie to drive to work tuesday just because i didn't want to abuse the old guy but, in the snow, larry's a champ.
the element is back and seems to be no worse for the wear...sure, it was a few clams to get it back and on the road - really, it's been ridden hard and put away wet more than a few times so, it was time for something major-ish to go.
the outdoor paralam table is coming along - thanks in large part to corie and brian who have been helping with the steel legs. we/i cut the steel last night (2 1/2" square tube) that will make the square frames, you'll see, that will form the bases/legs. some sanding last night as well as some drilling and tapping and next is the actual welding by either brian or corie - i may help a little in this regard but more the tacking, perhaps. maybe.
pretty good lookin' table...

have a great wednesday. mine will be interesting as i recently found out that the strata council at the gastown building, where i now have renters, has been ripping off the building and ripping off WCB by filing a false claim as to how our caretaker got injured - he's been off for seven months getting free money from the government. he told them he injured himself falling down some stairs when he was vacuuming one day - truth is he was having a few road pops and riding his bicycle and ran into a skateboarder...and at the time he was with two council members who told another on-looker, who is also a resident of the van horne building, to not say anything about it....

nice.

and the annual general meeting is tonight. could be good as WCB has been contacted about the fraud, the drunk caretaker has been asked to resign and other council memebers are gonna be called up to explain why they lied to WCB.

i'm looking forward to it.
