Wednesday

Employees and customers were getting the best of me today so rather then blow my top I decided to just take the afternoon off.
Picked up some fantastic deli, tracked down the wife, grabbed a couple bottles of vino and the dog and walked the 15 minutes to R Beach from my front door.
Spent the next 4 hours enjoying an empty beach, 80 degree weather and the company of one the most important persons in my life.





Could not ask for a better Wednesday afternoon

Time to BBQ and hang on the deck for the evening with the whole family.

Thanks for letting me share a bit of my paradise

Good for you, Dan.

Funny you should post this - I was on my way to another job site today at 6pm when the drawbridge went up. It had already been a very busy day and a very busy week with a fair amount of anxiety.

I turned around, went home, grabbed my board and went surfing.

Sometimes you just have to say......enough.

Well done, sir. Sounds like just the right medicine.
I have a good feeling you'll do fine upon returning to work.

Brad, We need to get together soon. I have a few projects down your way I need to visit soon.

Baz - As you can see, not much surf yesterday. We did get a nice SW over the weekend though. Good for you getting in the water.

Syd and anyone else, you make it out to SB and the deck will be open!

Here is the walk back from the beach along the bluffs


And this is how we ended the day, a One and Done Marg along with a Greyhound with Bight
