I updated the Gallery a week or two ago. It’s added some photos since the last dump I did, which was probably back in November or December after we got back from Sean’s wedding.
We finished our kitchen renovations (finally)… at least for the most part. There are little things to do still, like putting the caulking along the wall and touching up paint where we messed it up, but overall it’s finished. There are some photos up in the gallery. Some are before pictures, and the others are with us at about 75% done.
On the topic of renovation, I was helping Sean put new floor in his condo with my father on Saturday. Overall things went pretty smoothly, except that my legs are absolutely killing me from being hunched over all day. There was preexisting laminate in his place, but he wanted to cover two rooms in the same colour so I picked up the old floor. That’s a project for another month though.
To top off the muscle pain, I went fishing yesterday morning in the Grand River. I always fish off the banks, and they’re not exactly easy to traverse down by mom and dad’s place. On the plus side I managed to land quite a few smallmouth bass down there! I went angling the weekend before with Jackie’s dad, Uncle Ron, and their friend Roger down in Lake Erie for bass season opening and I caught less (and was in the water much much earlier).
Fishing has actually been quite productive so far this year. Up at the SC Johnson cottages I landed a lot of bass, even though I was fishing for pike - bass weren’t in season yet. At the ponds in Mt Pleasant the same thing, bass and more bass when attempting to lure in some trout - again, bass still not open. Although the Saturday that bass season opened I only managed to get one out of the ponds.
And next week we’re up to the cottage on Bear Lake again. I’m hoping my luck holds out in the fishing area since that is where I will be spending most of my time!
