some fixin', some buildin'...and more tacos..

corie and i headed over to the gastown shack and had a go at fixing the dishwasher that was leaking...i had borrowed some tools and parts from fairview fittings - great guys if i do say so - and we were set...or so i thought. we had to make a few alterations on the fly to our/my plan but in the end i think we got it beat - the proof will be in the pudding. hopefully my tenant doesn't call at 4 a.m. telling me it's fucked...a big thanks to corie for coming along to make sure i fuck it up too badly...then we headed off to his pilates studio and change a few light bulbs...yup...we were busy making shit happen...

sometimes you have to make a mess to get stuff fixed.

corie was nice enough a while back to lend me an old bike of his so today, after we finished our handymanning, i rode downtown and met-up with ailsa for a little lunch. a little soup and salad...nice...it was a beautiful day to be riding around...and a nice to day to have lunch bought for me....thanks ailsa!

with a little gusseting these babies will hold up and one of my drunk and full of ribs pals...

after lunch i headed off to propellor to visit the kids there and have a look at the cedar i had cut a few days ago that will become the benches on my deck to go with the table i made...a table that needs to be redone...oh well...it'll be fine...i hadn't thought i would actually put the wood together but once i got there...soon they were together. now i just have to convince corie to weld up some nice alum. bits i need to complete them...

these were good...really good.

as i was riding home i happened by la taqueria on west hastings - a place people have been telling me to go and try (cam has been there and told me so, richardo...etc...) so today seemed like as good a day as any...and i'm here to tell you i give it as full thumbs up for taste and goodness...sure, the salsa bar is kinda lacking and i think the tacos should be 2 bucks not 2.50 but the bbq pork and carne asada tacos i had were great...they use all free range meats so you can feel good about that...i guess...i'm going back...hell, i'll take you there...
i also went by the DMV today because i have to get a new license and want to get the enhanced version that has all your info encoded on/in it....so when you cross the border in your car you don't need to carry your passport just the new thingy as it has everything...but it turns out you have to go in for an interview to get one...what the fuck are they gonna ask me now?
now it's the mighty wings playing phoenix...i don't care that much...but in my heart i still love the wings - even if that fucktard bertuzzi's a wing.. (because he's not really a wing...)
