I am up early again and the sun is shining.  It looks like it is going to be another nice day.  And to think, the folks back home are still sitting in some lousy weather!!  I sure hope it starts getting nice back there soon as we will be on our way home in a few weeks.
John was busy today replacing the floor in the halls outside the entrance to the bathroom so now that is as sturdy as it should be.   He also moved some wiring so that when it comes time to make the bathroom a bit bigger, the wiring is already moved.   I put the finishing touches on the bedroom walls and put the face covers on the switches.  We are using a polished copper face plate and it goes well with the walls.
I then stained the two panels John hung in the bathroom and will hopefully get it polyurethaned tomorrow. The stain comes in on Wednesday for the crown molding and baseboards so I will stain all those boards and then they can be put up and presto - the walls will be done.  All that will remain, will be the floor and that should not take too long to do although I hear it will need at least 4 coats of varathane on it - taking at least one day to dry between coats.
Lorne arrived at 4:30 to drive us into town as we decided that we would take a cab home.  No one needs to be driving when they have been drinking!!  We had a few cocktails at their room then headed to Tumbleweeds where we had a few more before ordering supper.  The food was great and the company was awesome.  I had a great time.  Once supper was over, we stopped at the Bar 7 and had a few games of shuffleboard - OH, and another drink!!  Like I needed another!!  It is a good thing that the bar closes at 11 cause I was starting to get tired - big surprised there!!
We walked Lorne and Marilyn over to their hotel room and eventually called a cab to take us home.  Max, the cab driver has driven us from place to place three times tonight!!
Back at the bus, I was most definitely ready for bed and crawled into it without any delays.   Once again, it was another good day spent with good friends simply enjoying life.
