King Oyster Mushroom

Look what I bought today!

I talked with the Crazy Mushroom Lesbian Lady at Farmer's Market. I have been buying some of her shrooms for quite some time now. And I wanted something different. She steered me to this bad boy. I think it's called a King Oyster mushroom.

She said I could slice it and saute, of course. Or since it's so meaty, I could marinate and BBQ like a portobello. That's exactly what I'm going to do tonight!

Bathroom Floor - Before & After

Had a seal on one of the toilets leak. The damage wasn't bad - no mold or rot - just needed new floors. So here's some before and after pictures.

Bathroom 2 - After:(already some blue tape to get ready for new base boards and paint! Both bathrooms need paint!)

Ventura / Channel Islands

Had a swell time in the Ventura area last weekend. As these snaps prove, the weather was gorgeous except for a bit of wind.
And the Channel Islands? This is how the "other half" lives [below].
There's street after street of these huge houses that are in the 2+ million price range. If you drive down a side street, you can see that each home backs up to the ocean and they all have boats. These 2 snaps are the BACK of the home. Nice!
I need to take up sailing.

Bear Who?

I admit, I stole these snaps from the Bear Blog I read.
But I bet you can't guess this bear? He's Hollywood - to be sure - but not a usual bear....Can't guess?
Yep, Bubba Bruce...Willis that is...

Hadrian's Wall

Nothing says Monday morning like pictures from Hadrian's Wall. Yea, this article in the SF Chronicle talks about visiting this location in England. I can just picture myself wearing rugged boots and a hooded coat, walking along the walk in the middle of friggin' nowhere. Beautiful calm and glorious solitude, it would be achingly gorgeous!
Ahh to be on holiday...anywhere but here, chained to my desk. "A means to an end" right?
