rainy day at CAO

We did a bit of work outdoors at the CAO between downpours. Yep, it was that time again: another work party for the Toronto Centre of the RASC. The usual suspects were there plus a couple of new faces. We got lots done today. I set up the "new" BBQ, removed a bunch of the storm windows, and worked on the deck. There's more to do tomorrow...

I played driver, with a Ford van from Tony's work, for much of the day. I had offered to pick up Denis from Thornbury around 11:00 AM. We also needed supplies from the Home Hardware Building Centre. Plus some of the guys needed fuel from the LCBO. Later in the afternoon, they sent me back to Home Hardware for some pressure-treated 2x4s.

Note: I created this entry using an XO OLPC laptop computer (http://laptop.org/). Charles brought up his little green and white portable computer with built-in handle. He had troubles connecting it to the CAO wireless network. I sorted that out for him. Tiny keyboard. Hard to touch-type. But it's running Linux. It renders web pages remarkably well. Very cool.
