O-Zone is going down hill fast

We Spent our Easter long weekend on Mt.Washington. The 3 bedroom penthouse suite was everything we expected and more with lots of room for everyone. The weather was warm and skiable on Saturday.... the kids (4 of 6 that made it here) got some runs in while we set up camp. It turned nasty on Sunday with wind, and icy little snow pellets. We did venture out on a short foray and walked to the lodge and back. Sunday afternoon, the bold and adventurous headed for Happy Hour at the Ozone Tube Park. We had the tube park pretty much to ourselves and got several reps in before beginning to soak through. The run was a little slow because of the wet snow, but we made the best of it. The weekend was mostly comprised of eating, reading, visiting, eating some more, and drinking a little red wine.

Hoping not to jinx things.... we have an offer on the house in Nanaimo. It'll be nice to unload that one and go on to other projects closer to home. Most of the profit on this house will come in the form of tax refund. We'll know early next week if things will go through, with a possession in May. I'm looking forward to the next project as there is a good chance it will be working on a property on the island...as we're still sniffing around for a small acreage and we have a couple of "irons on the fire".

The weather has turned just warm enough to jump start the growing season and the "lawn", such as it may be, is beginning to grow and will have to be cut on a regular basis. (We will not be weeding or chemically fertilizing anything growing here, so the the term "lawn" is subject to interpretation.) The trees are dropping a huge amount of pollen and it has covered everything including decks and vehicles with yellow powder.

The Canucks start the playoff run tonight... Go Nucks!

Cheap Dave's Wine Corner Organic wines have become far more affordable within the last couple of years. Being a Cono Sur fan, I was looking forward to trying the Organic Cabernet $14.99. Several of us tried this wine and the consensus was that it has a very closed nose and no finish. As you can only taste a bottle of wine, it may be unfair to completely pan this wine as a whole, however; I'll pass for now and won't rush back for another bottle. Meanwhile, Cono's standard fare Cab is $9.50 and is worth twice that. 2005 Finca Flichman Malbec $10.99 was a hit. A big bold wine with lots of fruit and pepper. Another bargain that will make the recommended page.
