Pilar’s herb garden is crawling with new plants.  I can smell ‘em all the way from the kitchen.

OPEN THIS DOOR RIGHT NOW.  I need to get out there and conduct a full investigation.  Smell test.  Taste test.  Face rub test.  C’mon, I’m doing you a favor over here.

I mean it’s not like I’m one of those lazy cats at the garden center.  They’re amateurs.

BBQ Weather?

tilapia

Almost.  Even though it’s a bit chilly these days to eat outside, I’ve been a-grillin for a few weeks.

Tilapia + corn on the cob + Hudson sunset = tasty dinner.

In case you haven’t cleaned up the old grill from last season, I’ve included an inspirational film strip to summon your inner griller.

http://www.vimeo.com/3680488A little film I made back in 2003 on an old Nikon Coolpix 995. The camera boasted a whopping 3.3 mpx back in the day and the video mode was pretty weak, but it didn’t stop me. You can’t let technology say, “I’m the boss of you!”

 pipers2…but tonight I felt a respectable 7/8ths!  Corned beef, potatoes and cabbage, plus a delicious Guinness- for Strength.   Those are bag pipes next to my newly deaf ear.  The best part was when the old fella lost his balance and I was able to say “Piper down!”

In Case Anyone Really Cares…

The results are in.  The poll I had on the site for a year…  the one about the imaginary surf contest between my bothers and cousins and me…  I would win it, yeah.

In a non-imaginary contest,  Owen would actually win.  We need to go back to Mexico guys.  Call me PRONTO.  But, before you do watch this:

Weekend Project or UFO Landing?

March 8th, 2009

I needed something small for my office that could double as a stool or side table. So, I borrowed a jigsaw from a friend and freestyled a shape on a piece of wood I had laying around. This is what I came up with.

Pretty simple. Furniture grade maple ply. Maple edge “hot glue” veneer all the way around. Vintage hairpin legs- eBay. 9 screws. 18 washers.
