It's been a long week at work, and my back hurts. But now it's the labour Day long weekend and I can relax. The weather is a little unstable, but they told us we would have a sunny long weekend here in the Lower Mainland. I hope they're right this time.

If it is nice weather this weekend, I'd like to drive out to West Vancouver and visit Horseshoe Bay. It's a beautiful place. I haven't been there in years, and I'd like to take my camera equipment there and set up some shots.

I'm up way too late tonight (Saturday--or Sunday morning rather) because I've been a total computer geek. I started working on the photo website for the Trees For Life 10k FunRun. I had a bunch of problems with FrontPage though, because it didn't seem to want to let me publish to the website, so I had to do it manually through FTP.

So after a long, long night of dinking about with HTML and HTML editors, I managed to get a website up showing photos from last year's race. There's still a bunch of minor aesthetic bugs to work out, but the page seems to work nicely.

And now I'm going to bed and I'm going to sleep like a zombie..

Yuck! It's been raining here for the past ten days or so. I get soaked at work, and I can't take the camera equipment outside on the weekends. Misery.

Oh well. Aint nothin' nobody can do 'bout the weather.

Here are a few more photos from a few weeks ago (when we had real summer weather).:

Some photos from a few weeks ago:









Thursday at work was no fun at all. While I was removing a tree protection fence that we'd built a few months earlier, a 3/4 inch staple that was sticking out of a 2x4, stuck into the base of my thumb near the palm of my hand. Then I had to go to the nearest clinic and get a tetanus shot because it's been about 8 years since I've had one. The shot wasn't nearly as bad as the staple, in fact I didn't feel the shot at all.

Then later on in the day, I was humiliated by getting completely soaked by a colossus rainfall while I work. This occurred immediately after my lunch break, during which the weather was fine. Nature can be unusually cruel sometimes, even thought I love her.

Another one of those nights, where I fall asleep instead of doing a bunch of things that need to be done, like exercise. Maybe it's just mondays, I don't know.
