A shout out to Karen, who out danced almost everybody, to Barbara Hetherington who shook a leg too, and last, but not least, Buddy Boyd and his good friend Gus from Gambier Island, who both spent almost the last hour on the dance floor.

Santa Cause 2 - the excellent sequel
Last Night we held the second "Santa Cause" dance down at the Gibsons Public Marina and a good crowd attended, and they drank, and they danced to my clumsy DJ tunes. I don't know what the final figures are yet, but we raised a lot of money for the Sunshine Coast Elves Club.

An Even Number of Days
It
is something significant to celebrate, and we have become used to
celebrating a few things as there always seems to be a reason to
party nowadays. Three days ago Karen and myself celebrated
twenty-eight years married and we stayed at a hotel in Vancouver for
a couple of nights and ate and drank like royalty.
Today we have been retired a total of 3000 days, another reason to have a home made sandwich and a budget beer.

Salmon Night
It's Salmon Night in the household and we have a special arrangement with the local sockeye guy (as if there's just one....) and we get fresh ground sockeye trim at a third of the price of fillet. The amazing thing about this substance is that when fresh, it has no smell whatsoever, does not even smell like fish (but leave it a day and it soon changes for the worse).
250 Grams of ground sockeye trim.
Chopped chili peppers (from the greenhouse)
Salt, Bran and ground black pepper.
Louisiana Sauce.
All mixed up, made into patties, fried without oil in a quality non-stick pan with steam cycling.
Karen informs me that I am her best husband/cook after these devils are cooked and will stay with me for at least another week. They will be served with small buttered potatoes and broccoli and washed down with a Tree Brewing Thirsty Beaver Amber Ale.

Not my Lego.
It's my bloody birthday, but Karen gets to play with the Lego.....
Yes, another thrift store purchase destined to be flogged on eBay, hey, we have to pay for the endless beers with something!

Tolerance
It was a lovely October Day today, it had rained and our rain barrel is full once again. The walk along the beach was just misty, a little light rain but the temperature was good. This bunch of seagulls were sitting at the sea outlet of Gibsons Creek, and they tolerated us for a while.
The Tug and Anchor
Down at the Squamish Band Lands, a solitary tug in the mist.
I thought "The Tug and Anchor" would be a good name for a pub.
