 I bought this van with 180,000kms on it.

 Vancouver landmark (?) Only Seafood is slowly being scraped off the face of the planet. The company I work for used to own this building. Truth be told, it was slowly rotting into the hole it was built above. There was a plan to save it once.

It was mostly about the sign

I aquired 2 boxes of Rego coffee cups from the restaurant that were left behind when the building was sold. I opened one box, the second was "spares". They are everything you would want out of a diner coffee cup. Heavy, a bit small, the perfect shape, and functional white. I use them nearly every day as they are the perfect size for a strong Americano. It's been over 5 years and I haven't broken one. Yet. But I have spares still in the box. 

I never did eat there. They shut down soon after I took this photo.

Lazy photos taken at the end of the day. I've loaded some film into a camera. Colour this time. So... usual interruptions in programming may occur. I promise it won't be pictures of lightbulbs when I resume.

 Best thing about the pandemic is beers in the park. Might be the only good thing about the pandemic?

 A friend of mine used to live in this house. His son was born in this house. And now it's going to get knocked down. Low income housing will replace it and that is probably a good thing except what Vancouver deems "affordable" often costs more than what it replaces.

 My father sent me a large bag of old negatives. I'm going to wear out my scanner loading them up. So many great photographs.

 24mm lens for a while. It feels different.

 New brakes and struts front and back. It's been a couple of days using my hands and tools. The front end will get done next weekend. The aftermarket brakes that were on it didn't work very well in the rain and, well, I live in a rain forest, so....

I built up a bike for a friend out of mostly used and found parts. I miss building bikes sometimes. This one is a gooder. Perfect city bike.

 $11.5 million. Condemned.  Welcome to Vancouver.

 I tried a recipe using yeast. Yeast from a bottle. From start to finish is about 3 hours. It's not a tenth of the naturally leavened sourdough I usually make. I had to try. I shouldn't be surprised by the result.

 It's nice coming home to this. Magic.

 They found a small rock in the path of the new sewer they were planting under the street near my house.
