81/365 – Catfish Coffee

81/365 - Catfish Coffee

Our friends Daniel and Helene have been raving to us about this fabulous coffee they get at the Farmer’s Market on Saturdays. Sandy and I go there sometimes as well and for some reason have never bought any. Anyways, we headed on over to the market yesterday, through the snow storm I might add, and rounded ourselves up some fresh bacon, ‘fromage en grains’ (squeaky cheese) and a pound of Catfish Coffee’s Brew Ha Ha. Anyways made a pot yesterday and wow… just wow… It’s some of the best coffee I’ve drank in a long time. I have a feeling I’ll be drinking a lot of this stuff in the future :)
For reference too usually we drink Tim Horton’s ground coffee which goes for $15 for 2.5 pounds. The Catfish Coffee goes for $12 for 1 pound and the quality is very noticeably better. Is it twice as good? Definitely yes!

80/365 – Not So Bright

80/365 - Not So Bright

Today I really felt like a dim bulb – All day was essentially a non-starter for me. Spent most of my day fighting with crap I didn’t want to deal with and it seemed to drag on and on. Thankfully I was at least productive and got most of the weekly stuff I hate doing out of the way, so I get to spend the rest of the week doing sprint planning which isn’t exactly exciting but makes me pretty happy when it’s all done. Work is also starting to pick up again which is good as I really thrive on accomplishing goals and being busy.

79/365 – Muted Colours

79/365 - Muted Colours

So I’m out all day snapping away like a mad tourist in the city I grew up in, taking some great and highly colourful pictures, only to come home and see that my Mac’s colour profiles are all shot to shit making the hyper saturated flowers look blotchy and the detail is all lost. However, on the PC they look great, so I’ll need to go through all the images when I get home tomorrow on my PC :(
Otherwise, today was great, went down to Lonsdale Quay took some pictures of Vancouver city from across the water. Then we headed over to Van City proper via the Sea Bus (a first for Sandy) then hopped the Sky Train over to Burrard station then walked across the city to enjoy some delicious ice cream at the Marble Slab. Fortune really smiled on us, as when we finished up our snack the rain started to fall and the bus home pulled up right in front of us.
When we got home the rest of the family came over for some diner in honour of Mom’s upcoming birthday next weekend. A great end to a great day. Tomorrow… Science World!
