Just another day in the life

05-30-25 Poker Final night

May 31, 2025


I was woken out of a dead sleep at 7:30 this morning. The guys were here from the paving crew to move my carport back into place. I showed them how there was a dip right where I have to walk to get into my car that would hold water and freeze in the winter. It is also right under the Cross bar of the carport and it’s supposed to be on level ground, but there is a big gap. Steve assured me that they would come back to fix it. They will have to patch it and then next year come back and seal the whole surface so the patch doesn’t show. For $6500 plus tax you better believe they had Best come back and fix it.

It did get me into the office earlier and I got a lot done today including booking appointments for mom setting up our Canada, dental renewal, etc. etc. I took time to go have lunch with the Watson’s and the Campbell’s at Ella’s and that was lovely sitting out on the deck. It’s been a nice visit and they head home tomorrow. On the way there I noticed on my navigation system in the car that the service BC office looks like a little jail or castle with survive BC lol

During lunch, I apologized to everyone, but had my phone going watching Lukas’s rugby game as Mount Baker is in the playoffs in Chilliwack. It was hard to see on YouTube on my phone as I couldn’t zoom in well I was excited to see that they won 19 to 15 only to find out that the scorekeeper had the scores backwards and they’d actually lost. That’s kind of a big mistake. The scores were correct just for the wrong teams.

After work, I came home and made some tempura prawns to take to Poker night, had a bite to eat and stopped for a short visit with Monica before heading to the game.

I think I was ninth out of 18. I lost my final hand with an ace and king of diamonds. Sad beat but it was fun.
