On falling down holes and such...

Spent the week working in Parksville, and the week almost came to an end fast. I kinda fell down a hole.

Okay, let me explain...

We were measuring a wall that had already been completed, and I was helping a co-worker measure it, walking across the deck with the measuring tape. There were building materials all over the deck, plywood, styrofoam insulation, etc. and I was walking to the edge of the deck when the styrofoam gave way and I plunged down a hole. I figure it was about 8 feet. I landed on my feet and realized right away nothing was broken. There was a ladder in the hole (amazing I missed it, had I made contact I would have slammed my face into the wall, or worse) and climbed back out. So... long story short I am alive. Yay!

Two shawls on the go, and we have a camera again so I will take some pics PDQ. Laurie is still in love with her new spinning wheel lol. Like that affair will ever end. She is getting very good at it too, yesterday she was spinning some lace weight. I am impressed.

I hear TOOL is coming to Victoria. Considering the lack of metal shows lately, and the overabundance of radio-crap bands that have been making their way here, the show is interesting to say the least. Can't say I am a fan, but it might be worth checking out. Make sure and check the new hockey blog at http://canucklehead666.blogspot.com for podcast updates and all things Canucks. Big game against LA tonight (let's face it, they're all big games right now).
