FYI

I just thought I'd share this picture of my gas fireplace chimney.

I say chimney because I don't want to say flue because I'm not sure how to spell it and I'm too lazy to look it up.

By closing this app and opening my dictionary app.

Which I don't actually have although there are doubtless 927 of them, at least.





I took this picture as part of my GC job.

Because of this:




Do you see how they cut into that 2 x 4 to install this pipe?

Yes, that 2 x 4 carefully designed and installed as part of the recessed area above the fireplace that will allow me to hide our embarrassingly large television with something beautiful but as yet unknown.

That's the 2x4 they cut into all right. So they could put the pipe in the tv place.

But don't worry, it's fixed now.

Because that's what GCs do. They take iPhone pictures of mistakes so they can prove it!

They also arrive at home and wonder why the front door is locked, and the door leading from the garage-doorless garage into the house is standing open.

That's just how we GCs roll.

Notable beach sightings

Last week Dave and I took advantage of a beautiful warm evening to walk on the beach.

This is what I learned (apart from the fact that I desperately want it to stay light until 7 all winter)




Also apart from the fact that I am a horrible photographer that has no editing skills

#1. Frisbee is alive and well in the 50+ crowd. My imaginary life history of this couple includes many competitions in the 70's. They also passed the time at Woodstock by practicing.

Also, the man is more passionate about the sport, but the woman has some mad skills.



#2. Sometimes you have to carry a shoulder bag at the beach.

Even though you are wearing your running shorts and shoes.

I don't know why.



#3. Many, many people, none of which are me, have well behaved beach dogs who walk beside them completely ignoring the many seagulls who clearly need to be chased.

Milo, take note.
