Anything Tiger wants...

... and in this case, Tiger wanted deck lumber.

We did think we had this already, but as it happened, we didn't. Or we'd used what we had originally for something else. In any case, off we went to visit the expensive dog.

Lucy works at Westwind Hardwood. She's a lovely, friendly girl
but by my reckoning we never get to visit her for less than $1200.

It was a beautiful day, sunny, warm and not windy, which is nice when we're making our good little Matrix haul yet another load of something large up the island. 

Our fir was waiting for us on the forklift. We also got a long piece of mahogany and
a piece of ipe.

The short pieces fit on the trailer beautifully, and the two longer pieces went on the roof rack.

We hastened home up the island, arriving just in time to see the ferry disappearing towards Gabriola -- but the rainbow was lovely.
