Scrap Wood Carpentry Returns

This small project is meta: I used scrap wood from a previous project made out of scrap wood that I disassembled. It is a placeholder until I can get out to a lumber store to get longer pieces so this extends to the wall. You can't really call it a spice rack, I guess it is a spice organizer. Veronica suggests I add a second shelf for the larger jars so I will work on that design.

No rotary saw or table saw anymore, my projects will be all hand tools from now on. OK, I do still have an electric drill...

Plague Season Outing: to Burns Bog

In British Columbia we are still permitted to go out to some parks as long as we maintain 2m separation. Last week, we went to Burns Bog (Delta Nature Reserve) for a walk. The loop through the bog was closed but the main path was open. It is not so easy to find access, but eventually we parked in a nearby residential area and crossed the railway tracks (past the sign that said not to do that -- good thing I had those years in NYC) into the park area. As the name suggests, it is swampy but great to get out into the fresh air. We have been having excellent weather the last week or so, predicted to last for another week.

    

That is skunk cabbage on the left and the most beautiful woman in the world on the right. I am trying to get a little exercise to offset how much time I am spending in the apartment so near to the fridge. I have started alternating cycling trips and weight lifting (I have a bench and a set of dumbbells on the terrace).
