News flash, news flash

Does this look like one happy guy.   J has been trying to catch a salmon off the shore for the last couple of weeks.  This morning from our deck he saw much splashing in the water down below.  Must be fish.  Big fish.  The trades were swarming around here this morning and John was getting in the way so he went off to  Rocky Point which is just down the road.  Look what he caught.  We figure that it is a Coho salmon.  The pictures for identification are still confusing because there are very slight variations in the different types of salmon, so basically just run with it.  There are some variations in the regulations but we are still learning. 

John has had an ongoing issue with getting the fan in the fireplace to work.  Several total evening were spent in frustration trying to get the fan to work by way of the remote.  The fireplace itself was going through its paces admirably.  Finally  J called the heating people and had someone come over.  Dismantled the fireplace, poked around,  oops, they stopped putting the fans in at the manufacturer.  We were assured several times that the fan was included.  We now have a fan in the fireplace, and J has nothing to do in the evening,  now not even to dream of the first big fish.

Painting here is in the finishing stages, tile on the floor downstairs will go on next week.  The fireplace was tiled this morning.  The rock wall continues to climb, will show pictures of that as well.
