chops, gnomes and table troubles



it was a weekend alright...
saturday found me at tireland, a tire place i have been using an endorse highly for years now, getting new rubber on the element. i had been running on the tires it came with for over 130 kms so...it was time...a little later in the day my dad's ladyfriend, janine, was in town seeing her daughter and came by to see the new garnville island...i think she gave it a thumbs up. nice to see her...
i had decided i was gonna try and bbq up some double-cut (thick cut) pork chops on the new bbq saturday night so i went to tenderland meats, another place i endorse highly, on granville island and grabbed a couple nice looking slabs of pork. i wanted to try chops because i know they're kinda hard to get right...because they're low in fat they can go from great to dry in a minute too much on the bbq...i made a nice yam/potato mash and grilled up some leeks and mushrooms and threw the chops on..nancy had called and wondered what was up and i told her if she wanted she could come over and watch hockey, drink beer and eat chops...she thought that sounded ok...i think in the end it all tuned out ok...i tried a bbq recipe from one of my books that worked ok but i prefer a more bbq like sauce marinate...still tasty.
i hit the hay early, because i'm a geezer, but was woken up by someone calling me on the intercom thingy...at 5 a.m...a couple of times. so wicked. i kinda think it was simon...
oh...i don't want to make too big a thing about it yet but...i think my paralam table may be having some issues with water..i did what i was told to do by people who know more than me about such things but...well, there could be water penetration issues...more as it develops...or doesn't...
today was football/hockey and couch time..i don't watch a lot of football but was feeling a little out of sorts and needed to just be at one with the tv an couch...i roamed around a little, ran into 'he who can not be named on the blog', saw muna - the woman who works for mac marketing who i did my negotiations with for this place (i invited her over for dinner ages ago..) she was with her mom in capers...her mom is wicked...than i came home and boiled up a few veggie wieners and watched the housewives...that's a sunday for ya.
three more days of shooting on this show...then the countdown to tucson begins...

just so you know. i love you.
