Chilling With Winston

June 16th, 2009

Today does not feel like Tuesday at all. Yesterday felt like Saturday and yet I only have 4 days of work to deal with before my next 3-day weekend! I’m quickly getting spoiled by the 4-day weeks.

Sunday we hooked up with a pile of people for a BBQ and hang out session over at Kits beach. Reilly brought his banjitar (a banjo that’s strung with 6 strings and tuned like a regular guitar) and one of his acoustic guitars so we jammed out while I rocked the guitar case as a drum kit. Our friend Chris LeMay, who’s a very talented musician, was there and pulled some crazy good sounds out of the mighty banjitar. He’s also my mortgage broker and if you’re looking for a first-class mortgage broker, check out Chris. He’s who I used and he’s great! Very straightforward and easy to work with.

Monday I tied up a whole pile of loose ends that needed to get done. I also managed to squeeze in a brunch at The Reef on Commercial Drive and then hit up Chill Winstons in Gastown with Tamara to catch up on her adventures. Chill Winstons is an incredibly tasty place! I had a mushroom stuffed ravioli that was divine! They have a great big patio on the corner of Carrall and Water where the action is. I’m starting to fall in love with Gastown.

Tonight after work I’m heading up the Grouse Grind again. I figure I can hit it about twice a week which will keep my legs in good hiking shape.
