The first few days of my stay out at Nordegg were spent indoors. Hailey was out with me, as she was training for her summer job at the Miner's Cafe. While she was at work, I spent my days indoors, trying to keep myself busy.
I got my Dad's old bucksaw. This dates back to when I was a little kid and I remember Dad using it, as well as me using it, to cut up firewood at our cottage at Pigeon Lake. It was laying around Dad's old shop when my brothers and I were cleaning up some stuff, and I claimed it and hung it on the wall.
I bought a second rack for firewood and set that up beside our wood stove in the main cottage. Whenever it rains or snows our outdoor firewood piles get wet, and sometimes it is hard to get a fire going. I like to keep quite a bit inside, so it has a chance to dry a bit before we burn it.
I also worked on one of my line wash drawings of an old hotel from the Beer Parlour Project. This time around it was the now closed Cadillac hotel, outing number BP14.0 to Cadillac Saskatchewan in June of 2024. I finished the sketching part and now will start to apply the wash of colors. After that I will detail it all in with pencil and ink.
One of the girls busted my TV. I never did quite get the full story on who was responsible and how it happened. Maybe someday the truth will come out. Last time I was out I hung up a TV on the wall of the guest cottage. This time around I got it all connected to the internet so I could stream some shows. This allowed me to watch some of the Edmonton Oilers Stanley Cup Playoff games. I would have been even more upset if I wasn't able to watch.
