number two! your tacos are ready!

ok...so topanga is closed until the 2nd of jan. but i do know this...the floor in the kitchen, more specifically the dish pit area, is, as the boys like to say at the old BOC, cock solid...a couple days ago andrew, topanga's head honcho lovingly referred to as 'Boss' by his staff, moved away all the stuff in the area to be repaired - with some help from me - and yesterday i went there in the morning and took a few measurements and got to work. we/i took out approx. an inch and a half of old flooring and with the aid of a skilsaw made a nice clean area and laid down some new plywood. a little 5/8" and a little 3/4"...i'll admit i was dreading the whole thing - really - but in the end it went very well...no swearing, no freaking out, no thoughts of me wishing i still smoked...(andrew helped me dash those thoughts as he smoked in the small confines of the kitchen while he and i, and later 'he who can not be named on the blog', looked lovingly at the new floor - which andrew will re-tile sometime today...)
good times.
i will be back there monday to mount some new metal to the wall behind the sink. more good times. but know this, the next time you're enjoying a burrito or 'chilada at topanga give just a little thanks to me for keeping the kitchen from falling through into the abyss.
a little later on today i'm gonna give the building of my new bbq a go. it's in a big box at the shop and is scaring me a little. should i build it here? there? get someone to build it...? i really want to get it done so i can do some winter bbqing..
ok.
i bought myself a very exciting boxing day present yesterday as well...a broom. i still need a new mop but i didn't want to over-extend myself too much on this boxing day. i also sold an element owner's manual for 15 bux...big day overall.

have fun today.
